Does anyone else have deeply esoteric visions like this guy without drugs? I wish I did |

Personally, I think Jung was a very forward thinker. Haven't watched the video, but will later. Things like lucid dreaming, hypnotism, meditation etc may be ways to induce deeply esoteric visions you mention. I like to think there is more within the human brain that we can tap into with the more we can understand it. To quote Frank zappa: 'the mind is like a parachute, it doesn't work unless it's open.' My 2 cents. |

I'm more interested in behaviourism. |

Jung was one of the most brilliant people that ever walked this planet...I love that guy. He taught me a lot about myself. Will watch the video later.. |

Ive yet to experience anything at the fundamental level, symbolism such as the circle in a square or something that I would recognise as a shared archetype, something from without ones self. There is a definite disconnect emotionally from my waking state and my dreams. The video is actually pretty informative as an introduction to his ideas. Cheers for the replies |

when i was like 16 or 17, i was on vacation with my family in california. things were great until i came down with food poisoning due to an undercooked steak. after a few days with 104 fever -- unable to even keep down fluids -- i began hallucinating. i was a factory. i had to keep my hands moving in a certain pattern in order to keep the assembly line moving. after doing that for a while -- it could have been minutes or hours; i've really no idea -- my mum came to check on me and freaked the fuck out, because i refused to stop moving my hands in patterns while spouting nonsense about factories. eventually she managed to snap me out of it; i went to take a bath and things went back to baseline, more or less. years later, i sampled all sorts of hallucinogens. none of them quite compared to the intensity of that one experience, but dissociatives felt like a milder version of the same thing. the oddest part is how natural that state of mind felt, given how batshit it was from a rational perspective. then i read jung's coffee table book, "man and his symbols." then i read some other stuff on magick... and it all began seeming a bit less batshit to my rational side. i haven't even watched this video yet, but some recent sigils i've been using involve a circle inside a square, so i full well expect this to be one those uncanny synchronicity moments once i do watch it. thanks in advance. |

^ I suppose im quite lucky as ive never experienced delirium, thinking your a sentient autonomous factory takes some beating I should imagine, sounds like some really weird coping mechanism your mind enacted, either that or your brain overheated like a cpu |

it's a bit of a mess down there; sort of like questioning the water a bilge pump sucks out of the keel of your boat. it's not about the salinity or what microbes are floating around in the bilge water, it's about pumping out the muck so your boat doesn't go fungal, or worse, sink. jumbling in another metaphor, the factory motif was just the way my brain managed the execution of it, sort of like a software API for the bilge muck -- the manipulation of patterns too complex for you to do anything useful with by grafting a structural metaphor on top. i took tae kwon doe for a while when i was like 12. i liked learning the kicks and punches, sparing was great after being cooped up in class, and it instilled a lifelong love of stretching. what got me to quit, though, was when i moved up past some belt level and the sensei had me memorizing patterns of movement with asian names, and then doing them 50 times in a row. took me until my late 20s for me to connect the dots backwards and understand what all that was about -- growing up, circuits get wired in your brain more or less at random, and the point of that was to replace that noise with something structured and predictable. sort of wish i'd stuck with it. |

your mind becomes attenuated as you grow older, thats what i personally think, like being tuned into a certain frequency band, its why kids are so creative, their minds haven't ossified. |

Your village has suffered too long from the nocturnal attacks of that horrible beast, the Wumpus. At your coming-of-age ceremony, you vow to do what no other hunter in the village has had the courage to try. Donning an old suit of armor and taking only a torch and a crossbow with a single arrow, you enter the cavernous lair of the Wumpus. The path is unknown, twisting through narrow corridors and forgotten chambers. Ancient pits, built by a dead people for their lost subterranean gods, ooze slime as they wait to claim another explorer. Monstrous bats inhabit the caves, carrying the unaware through the darkness and releasing them again at whim. Most terrible of all is the Wumpus, who slumbers even now in the darkness. Woe to any who come upon the beast in the shadows! But you have chosen to face these dangers, great as they are. You will free your village or fall in the attempt. Because you alone have chosen to Hunt The Wumpus! |
