Jung claimed that the use of reason to the exclusion of myth and fantasy makes us sick, because it alienates us from the sources of healing, which are only ever expressed in symbolic language.~David Tacey

Attention is a moral act: it creates, brings aspects of things into being, but in doing so makes others recede. What a thing is depends on who is attending to it, and in what way. Attention has consequences.~ Iain McGilchrist, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘔𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘌𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘳𝘺

I’m voting HELL NO on the Republican CR. It hands Musk and Trump a blank check, turning your tax dollars into a wanna-be dictator’s slush fund. No accountability. Just corruption on autopilot.

Rejoicing in ordinary things is not sentimental or trite. It actually takes guts. Each time we drop our complaints and allow everyday good fortune to inspire us, we enter the warrior’s world. We can do this even at the most difficult moments.~Pema Chodron

As Jung said once, we all walk in shoes too small for us. And so, what he meant by that metaphor, we all live in adaptive, protective psychologies, that's understandable but it keeps us locked in. It keeps us blocked. It keeps us stuck.~James Hollis

50501 is a decentralized rapid response to the anti-democratic, destructive, and, in many cases, illegal actions being undertaken by the Trump administration. Can I count on the senator to support us either in person or by sharing and elevating our movement?

This is the secret of dreams--that we do not dream, but rather we are dreamt. We are the object of the dream, not its maker. The dream is dreamed to us. We are the objects. We simply find ourselves put into a situation.~CG Jung, 𝘊𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘯’𝘴 𝘋𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮𝘴

Natural life span of an emotion—the average time it takes for it to move through the nervous system and body—is only minute and a half. We need thoughts to keep the emotion rolling. We lock into painful emotional states [through] our own endless stream of inner dialogue.~Tara Brach

We need ecstasy, which in its Greek sense (ek-stasis) means to be outside the ego. The ego is a prison, caught in time, space and rationality. We need to leave this mental prison behind from time to time, and on a regular basis.~David Tacey
