  Some of My Thoughts on Jung, Individuation,Wholeness, The Unconscious and Enlightenment

  by frankiespeakin in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as some already know or perhaps guessed i'm interested in jung's ideas on the psyche, have been since a teenager and then the jws got me at and closed my mind.

  after leaving mental "the truth" in my forties, my intrest renewed very quickly, a post leolia made to me on some subject unknowingly gave me my first prod, thanks leo.. well i was exploring my mind soon as i left the jw with some lengthy excursions into being a semi hermit in order to give myself over to much inner time, it even feels a bit selfish to do now so i gave it up,, for how long?

  still probing but at a reduced rate.. jung studied all the religions, and all the ancient text he could get his hands on, and his knowedge of mythology was extensive.so he also is very understanding of what is enlightenment, as he said the experiences he had with the unconscious nearly tore him apart but he manged to survive it without loosing his sanity, jung also said that he was surprised at how much of the unconscious the buddha had made conscious without going insane.

  This is a bunch of woo.

  If you are really interested in the human mind follow the Human Brain Project.

  Do Jehovah's Witnesses actually HATE?

  do jehovah's witnesses actually hate?.

  hatred (jwfacts).

  the direction given in the watchtower goes strongly against christian examples when demanding members hate an apostate.. *.

  Elders are more loyal to a rubber stamp

  by Rattigan350 in

  2. beliefs

  isn't it amazing that the elders are more loyal to a rubber stamp on a letter from new york or whatever branch, than they are to the people they know and have known for years in their own congregation?.

  when you think about that, the reason is that they get their power from that rubber stamp.

  that is what appointed them, and that is what can unappoint them.

  If you want to see the future, imagine a rubber stamping a human face forever.

  (It's when they just suddenly do an about face without any explaination, it makes the restrictions we lived under and the sacrafices we made, look like a huge joke.)

  It doesn't looks like a huge joke.

  It's a huge joke in any sense possible!

  It's just unbelievable...

  Who could even imagine this in the 90's? Unless you was listening to a crazy speech about the dangers of that happening as a modern-day golden calf party.

  I watched this video with a bittersweet feeling...

  It's so insulting to all those (in or out) who sacrificed a LOT for the WT (now JW.org).

  At the same time it's a powerful validation of total decadence of WT (now JW.org).

  What an interesting time we are living... literally no country for old men...

  the present moment is real.

  however much you may remember the past or anticipate the future, you live in the present.

  (There is no such thing as a "time" dimension. There is spacetime.)

  There is time dimension as there are wideness and heightness.

  3 dimensions of space (x,y,z) and 1 dimension of time (t).

  As in any vetorial system if you accelerate in one dimension the others will decrease in module. If you accelerate in one space dimension your time will decrease, if you reach the speed of light in one space dimension your time will stop because the time vector will reach zero.

  Acceleration warps the (vector coordinates of) spacetime because that. Acceleration or gravity (same thing).

  For a reason (AFAIK it's unknown) the mass have the effect to change the rate of time acceleration, provoking what we perceive as gravity.

  A peek in to future of transportation

  by jgnat in

  1. social
  2. current

  trends include self-driving clean vehicles and temporary leasing rather than buying vehicles (the driverless vehicle arrives to pick you up, and you drop it off at your destination).

  the result?

  1/8 the traffic on existing roads!

  Yes and I know there's a mode you can drive by the old way but the autopilot running in background ready to correct any imprudent move.
