28:09 “Only gradually were certain psychic processes which were visualized before as exclusively outside-as the Gods and Goddesses-then understood as processes within the individual.”
Over the last few months as I compose using the Andalusian cadence - realizing the emotion is in the half tone if used as a resolution of dissonance - You've known this for years. Also, I loved Martha Graham dance company for her many concerts at the University of Utah - I miss great modern dance...
Wow. I was called to deliver a book of cave art images to a shaman in the Andaman - to empower them because they are on the verge of extinction. Now I realize - I was on the verge of extinction (suicide) but made the delivery and began a new life, new career, that led to feeling gratitude daily for being able spend all my effort on producing music videos. Thanks for the insight Dr. Conforti.
The baby was thrown out with the bath water. In rightly thinking that we should not give ourselves over to the world mindlessly we in adhering, rightly, to that went too far in undervaluing the world. If, as Eastern religion has it, it is nothing more than a dream, God’s dream, in which we participate in much the same way we are participants in our nightly dreams, we should, having been given free will, adhere to and value the good so that eventually we are one with the good. Thus returning to the paradise from which we have fallen. If we choose evil the show goes on and the suffering goes on and will until all learn that it is better and wiser to correspond to Reality than to oppose it.
Just discovered and J Hollis and Jung; I have the intuitive knowing Jungian methodologies will change my life for the better. How I wish I would have listened to my philosophy Prof in college; he said, "You really ought to check out Jung, you'd probably get a lot out of his work." I was young, had my own ideas, and didn't heed his advice; I can't help thinking about the ways my life would have been so much better if I had! I'm 56, now and my old stories ain't cuttin' it anymore, so...guess it's still not too late! TY Don Huntley for uploading this for all of us, allowing us to better our lives!
We have to be thankful to people who introduce us to things that benefit us even when we are not ready. 😊 People rarely change or develop overnight, so good teachers know it is all about planting seeds.
questioning is good but it is not the goal. the goal is beyond the goal or one may say leaving the goal for what it is, letting it be. a goal is a concept as any other, like me or mine or them and others, good and bad. it doesn't matter. inside each one of us is a mind, sharp like a blade, that cuts through duality. it doesn't matter if we believe it to be so or if we think it is BS. mind cuts all perception and cuts any notion down that raises in hope of independent existence. there is nowhere an independent entity can arrive but openness and having nothing to hold. nowhere to arrive. unborn. bright and shining through, in and out all the illusion of existence. om ah hung
When I listen to Hollis I am stirred not unlike when I had first discovered Emerson. The breadth of his knowledge touching upon a depth of learning and a lifetime of absorption in the classics is very impressive. Yet even more poignant is his simple humility as a teacher encouraging us all to follow our greatest truths.
that would be kinda boring, but I know what you mean. Although I believe that there are many other great thinkers that should be studied, or rather that each one of us has it's personal spark of wisdom and interests that he should cultivate, so I am for more diversity :) but 2/3 of the population that looks deep within and comes forth with raw diamonds that they then polish to share with the world? Amen to that!
The thing about Kali and why the death rebirth experience is so key to our cosmology. It’s not really about us. And by us I mean humanity. It is about what we call the divine. For nothing pleases the divine more than to be reminded of their divinity. And nothing reminds them more than to destroy so that they may create anew. And be as they once were and remembered themselves at their best. Divine.
I am so grateful for finding Hollis' work. I got the opporunity tp interview him a few weeks ago and will be releasing it via my podcast in a couple months.
Adventures Through The Mind Just listened to your interview. Great stuff! Please do more on Jungian psychology, dreams, archetypes, and other states of consciousness (besides psychedelic). Love your podcast!
I love what I've seen so far.... and here is the link to the John Cleese sketch at approx. 24 mins 30 secs... where you can't see the screen: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--M-vnmejwXo.html
....... Great Points! .... Sacred Wisdom! .... "Respecting" .... the "Story" .... seems to have been lost, and or "Crushed"..... in our modern day culture!
Brilliant, colorful - strong poetical choices - always great to find such hidden treasures on the Internet. But Dr. Hollis's approach is gentle - that's not American!
