Imagination

Dreams

Shadow

Posted by PJ under quote of the day, the shadow
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“Emotional discomfort is a hallmark of the shadow. Whenever something we have done, are doing, or think of doing causes us to feel guilty, ashamed, embarrassed or dumb, we can be sure that the shadow side of our personality is involved….The shadow is by definition the polar opposite of the bright, competent, intelligent, honorable and morally responsible persona with which the ego tends to identify.”

—Daryl Sharp, Pocket Jung

Visitor

Posted by PJ under power, quote of the day, religion
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“The Gospels actually taught this:

Before you kill somebody, make absolutely sure he isn’t well connected. So it goes.

The flaw in the Christ stories, said the visitor from outer space, was that Christ, who didn’t look like much, was actually the Son of the Most Powerful Being in the Universe. Readers understood that, so, when they came to the crucifixion, they naturally thought…:

Oh boy—they sure picked the wrong guy to lynch that time!

And that thought had a brother: “There are right people to lynch.” Who? People not well connected. So it goes.

—Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five
