He was neither of those. He was someone that found he had the capability of detaching from physical pain while being tortured by the nazi in WW II. I do have the experience of stopping extreme physical pain with mindfulness. Unfortunately it's not something that I've mastered or be able to reproduce. That's the reason for my interest in Jack Schwarz.

May not...Jack didn't

Kidney 3. It does work with time.

Isn't little Apech happy about that ?

Portuguese sweets you mean... the conventual kind? They could be too much for you, remember that they were created by women who didn't have orgasms...however they found their way to "get there" somehow! This could be a quote by Carl Jung! I'm sure it will be interesting.

I'm having difficulty in understanding what you mean by this...

I think that an interesting thing to explore is the information regarding the future that dreams bring us. I would say that at least 70% percent of our dreams are premonitory. What can be a positive aspect of experiencing this is an increase of detachment and concern towards our personal life and future. You realize that if events are somehow pre-written it makes no sense to "tense and struggle" that much. Paradoxically this releases more energy to be applied in a positive way. You even get more tolerant regarding your personal imperfections. An example to ilustrate this: one morning, some 20 years ago, I wake up and the last dream image that was on my mind was of a Capoeira group performing their acrobatic martial art. I remember that it was a tense morning with my at the time girlfriend. We're having a quarrel that gets worse and worse untill we start shouting at each other. To avoid things to escalate I leave the appartment furious and decide to take a bus to a park of my preference which is calm and soothing. During the bus ride I'm feeling bad for what had happened and especially that circumstances made me lose my self control and explode in rage. I get to the park... there on the lawned open apace what do I see? A group of Capoeira people performing their acrobatic martial art... Spent quite some time, untill this day probably, 🙂 thinking of what had happened. One thing for sure, it was easier to forgive "my" (?) bad temper after this experience.

On this matter I would advise anyone to start by first reading Carl Jungs autobiography, "Memories, Dreams, Reflections". It explains very well the process he went through discovering the alchemical symbology in his own dreams as well as other sacred symbology. The works of Mircea Eliade are fascinating on this matter as well. They will make you realize that there are symbols willing to speak to you that were always present in your life and that you never noticed 🙂 So, if you're willing to sacrifice your sleep for some time and have a dream journal at your bedside table you will learn alot about yourself and mostly that what's sacred and you feel is so far is indeed so near and so aware of you. Some twenty years ago I've kept a dream journal for about two years and don't regret the investment.

Lizzardy then, would you say?

Actually the experts say that the place of origin of the Pharaoh Hound is Malta, however a friend of mine used to have a black coloured one which was called Anubis. It was just like the picture.

I've been interested in dog breeds lately. @Apech meet the Pharaoh Hound...

Indeed. IMO what's interesting about CJ's therapy is having the re-connection to the sacred as the means to mental health. He would guide his patients on an exploration of their unconscious to find the divine/sacred in it.

So that's probably from where Carl Jung took the quaternity concept, or it's confirmation. He noticed that it is present in dreams, it seems like there's always the number 4 in our dreams.

If we take a fundamentalist, literal approach to the text we could say in Arjuna's defense that he was in a do or die situation so, "family" in this context are those willing to kill him...at least we could say that Arjuna strugles with guilt just comtemplating the thought of killing his "family"... However, Being this a mythological text the fundamentalist, literal approach isn't the one to take as you very well know. As an example that would be the equivalent as saying that any scripture that has an image of a god (Saturn) devouring his son is evil per se. Saturn-Francisco-de-Goya-Museo-del-Prado-Madrid.webp
