Imagination

Posted by PJ under imagination, myth, quote of the day
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“Imagination is independent and autonomous; it precedes and underpins mere perception; and it spontaneously produces those images—gods, daimons and heroes—who interact in the unauthorized narratives we call myths.”

Dreams

Random quote of the day:

“How odd is the world of dreams! Thoughts, inner speech crowd and swarm—a little world hastening to live before the awakening that is its end, its particular death.”

Random quote of the day:

“Cherish your mistakes, and you won’t keep making them over and over again. It’s the same with heartbreaks and girls and everything else. Cherish them, and they’ll put some wealth in you.”

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.

Nurture

Posted by PJ under nurture, quote of the day, the self
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“Treat yourself as though you’re raising a child. Imagine you are a child that you are raising and that you love very dearly. You know you need to give the child a lot of love and nurturing, but the child also needs some boundaries. You’re not going to let yourself eat all the candy and run out into traffic. In your heart, you know what is going to help you grow.”

—Pema Chödrön, The Lion’s Roar, October 15, 2017

Electrons

Posted by PJ under fairies, metaphors, quantum physics, quote of the day, reality
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“Electrons…are no more real than the Sidhe—and no more metaphorical either. We cannot even say whether they are waves or particles, only that it depends on the observer…. Nowhere is empty; even the spaces in atoms are thought to be full of daimonic entities—”virtual particles” which appear out of nowhere, interact and vanish.”
