"The concept of the archetype, which is an indispensable correlate to the idea of the collective unconscious, indicates the existence of definite forms in the psyche which seem to be present always and everywhere.
Mythological research calls them "motifs"; in the psychology of primitives they correspond to LevyBruhl's concept of "representations collectives,"
and in the field of comparative religion they have been defined by Hubert and Mauss as "categories of the imagination."
good morning everyone 🙏🏻✌🏽🖖
snow overnight. very cold this morning.
here's an internet archive link to
The Collective Unconscious and
Its Archetypes by
Philippe L. De Coster, D.D.

language is an aspect of cognition. conceptual structures create gestalts, which structure and form our "worlds".
"holistic structure—a gestalt-governing our understanding of activities like cricket, structured by what we call a cognitive model,
an overall structure which is more than merely a composite of its parts. A modifier like cricket in cricket bat, cricket ball, and so on does not pick out any common property or similarity.
It refers to the structured activity as a whole."
"are suited like nothing else to powerfully push in front of the eyes of thinking men the problem
of the restlessly slumbering chaotic unconscious under the ordered world of consciousness.
This war has pitilessly revealed to civilized man that he is still a barbarian."
dejá view all over again! anyone?
"In December 1916, in his preface to The Psychology of the Unconscious Processes, Jung wrote:
“The psychological processes, which accompany the present war, above all the incredible brutalization of public opinion,
the mutual slanderings, the unprecedented fury of destruction, the monstrous flood of lies, and man’s incapacity to call a halt to the bloody demon—

good morning fellow earthlings.
how about a #Teddy massage to start the day?
“Thoughts are natural events that you do not possess, and whose meaning you only imperfectly recognize
Thoughts grow in me like a forest, populated by many different animals.
But man is domineering in his thinking, and therefore he kills the pleasure of the forest and that of the wild animals.
Man is violent in his desire, and he himself becomes a forest and a forest animal.
Just as I have ` freedom in the world, I also have freedom in my thoughts.”
Jung.
"The symbols of the self arise in the depths of the body and they express its materiality every bit as much as the structure of the perceiving consciousness.
The symbol is thus a living body, corpus et anima . . . The deeper ‘layers’ of the psyche lose their individual uniqueness as they retreat further and further into darkness."

Jung, 1940 essay on the Child archetype
good night nauts✌🏽🙏🏻🖖
here's more #Teddy sleeping on his back. you can see all his lovely toes ❤️
"Everything that happens outside has already been.
Therefore whoever considers the event from outside always sees only that it already was, and that it is always the same.
But whoever looks from inside, knows that everything is new.
The events that happen are always the same. But the creative depths of man are not always the same.
Events signify nothing, they signify only in us. We create the meaning of events. The meaning is and always was artificial. We make it. ”
Jung, The Red Book.
"Jung criticized the Western tendency to turn everything into methods and intentions.
The cardinal lesson, as presented by the Chinese texts and by Meister Eckhart, was that of allowing psychic events to happen of their own accord:
Letting things happen, the action through non-action,
the ‘letting go of oneself’ of Meister Eckhart,
became the key for me that succeeded in opening the door to the way:
One must be able to psychically let things happen”
Jung, the Red Book.
"Disorder and meaninglessness are the mother of order and meaning. Order and meaning are things that have become and are no longer becoming.
You open the gates of the soul to let the dark flood of chaos flow into your order and meaning.
If you marry the ordered to the chaos you produce the divine child, the supreme meaning beyond meaning and meaninglessness."
"take a step toward your soul, you will at first miss the meaning.
You will believe that you have sunk into meaninglessness, into eternal disorder.
You will be right! Nothing will deliver you from disorder and meaninglessness, since this is the other half of the world.
Your God is a child, so long as you are not childlike. Is the child order, meaning? Or disorder, caprice?"
Jung, The Red Book.

"Laws and teachings held in common compel people to solitude, so that they may escape the pressure of undesirable contact,
but solitude makes people hostile and venomous.
Therefore give people dignity and let each of them stand apart, so that each may find his own fellowship and love it.
Power stands against power, contempt against contempt, love against love.
Give humanity dignity, and trust that life will find the better way.”
"Who knows the way to the eternally fruitful climes of the soul?
You seek the way through mere appearances, you study books and give ear to all kinds of opinion.
What good is all that? There is only one way and that is your way.” You seek the path? I warn you away from my own.
It can also be the wrong way for you. May each go his own way. I will be no savior, no lawgiver, no master teacher unto you.
You are no longer little children.”
Jung's Liber Novus (the Red Book), free download from
internet archive.
"The supreme meaning is not a meaning and not an absurdity, it is image and force in one, magnificence and force together.
The supreme meaning is the beginning and the end.
The image of God has a shadow.
The supreme meaning is real and casts a shadow.
The shadow is nonsense. It lacks force and has no continued existence through itself.
But nonsense is the inseparable and undying brother of the supreme meaning."
AI art generators' place in K-12 classrooms
"students use generative AI — with prompts around particular topics — but also work with hands-on materials,”
“We don’t want to lose that because there’s lots of wonderful learning that happens when kids are immersed in making art with their hands.”
"a student might write a story, insert segments into a generator and then, based on the images it comes up with, create new artwork with traditional materials such as paint."
