T O P I C R E V I E WHappy Dragon/Happy Dragon/Happy Dragon/Happy Dragon/AzalakshLiz is the best!! quote:The unconscious opens out below and above us as a repository of immense creative energy, a matrix from which all things spring; and it does not stop at the individual level, but merges into a great collective sea beyond human bounds which extends to the unknown. It is possible that what modern psychology calls the unconscious was once known to the ancients as the gods, or god; and it is no wonder, when we ponder these things, that science and religion, having thrown stones at each other for so many centuries, are begining to discover that they are travelling in the same direction, towards the same mystery - however different their vehicles. quote:It is a rare man who can say there is no element of projection in his relationships, for there is probably a good deal in the unconscious which can never become conscious and which we will eternally project. It may be that we even project god. Who then is the beloved, and where is she to be found ? Within or without ? or both ?I vote “Both” for both My belief is that a spark I call “God” lies within my individual spirit, and the spark's source lies without. As for The Beloved, “Both” again – until you love yourSelf, you cannot truly love another…..That bit about loving oneself reminds me of a line from the Moodies -- If only you knew what's inside of me nowYou wouldn't want to know me somehow,ButYou will love me tonight,We alone will be alright,In the end. quote:It is no wonder that we project, for only by doing so can we continue to blame others for our pain instead of recognising that the psyche contains both dark and light and that our reality is the one we ourselves have created. Yet in projection and its subsequent discovery lies an enormously important vehicle by which we can come to know what is hidden in ourselves, and what we do not see in others. Thanks for doing all that typing HD!!Z
