I'm fine. I'm still angry and confused over more people finding EWM's man boobs and bumps more appealing than a picture of me and James Brown.

Yeah I know! JAMES IS HOT!

Sweeny79 said:

I want my hair just like his. And even just one of his teeth.

Number23 said:

Me too

( You are a freaking threadjacker! )

Sweeny79 said:

No I'm not, I just find it hard to pay attention to things that don't interest me. James interests me. Did you know he told a court a few years ago that Nixon's government replaced own testicles with a bull's because he "was too funky for man balls".

Me and James. Tight like two coats of paint.

What do you mean exactly? We all act and react to our environments based on our own schema. Our own memory banks are our"selves". I don't see how it is possible to discredit that.

Please explain more...

Number23 said:

Things that don't intrest you? Dear this thread is ABOUT you and your development as one of God's furry little creatures. How could it not interest you?

Sweeny79 said:

Because everything is ludicrous and built on shifting sands.

Number23 said:

I think some things are rock that is buried under the sand.

What reacts to that stimuli? A cluster of nerves that formulate a brain--completely dependent upon phsycial forces that create it? What "precieves" that stimuli? Peel away all of the layers of conditioned "things" which form concious awareness of this or that thing, and you will find that there is no "self" underneath it.

There is thinking and no thinker to be found. There is interdependent processes, which form "conciousness" but no substantial seperate "self" to motiviate or push it along.

Your reaction to my words--whether quizical, dismissive, or unconcerned, are conditioned through multiple processes. Who is this sweeny that reads it? Can she boil away the layers and get to something substantially "self" like?

Peel away my cerebrum, and my memories, likes and dislikes, peel away as well.

There is no self!


R U going to Miami?

I like that post better than any post in the last couple of months.

Number23 said:

No. I think you would hit lava first.

Here's a link on Jung and his theory : http://www.ship.edu/~cgboeree/jung.html

It's a nice little summary, me thinks.

AsianBomb777 said:

Wow!


I see what you mean and I get it. No there is no real " Sweeny" BUT " Sweeny" must function on this plane of reality at the moment and that is "self". To ignore any chance to better myself on this plane of life, I feel would be a mistake.

And


I'm still not sure, it's too far away to tell.(Please don't say there is no such thing as time! ) I hope I can make it

He carefully recorded his dreams, fantasies, and visions, and drew, painted, and sculpted them as well. He found that his experiences tended to form themselves into persons, beginning with a wise old man and his companion, a little girl. The wise old man evolved, over a number of dreams, into a sort of spiritual guru. The little girl became "anima," the feminine soul, who served as his main medium of communication with the deeper aspects of his unconscious

And there I was thinking I was alone personifying experience to mindmap!

And don't get me wrong good old Carl's mind was a little cooked to say the least, but I like (most) of his version of the truth.

Sweeny79 said:

He liked his opium didn't he? I don't really know much about Jung or Freud, I tend to think they were a pair of dirty old bastards. I learned a lot from Alestair Crowley and Robert Anton Wilson's books though. Especially Promethius Rising by Wilson. I'd recommend that to everyone on this thread.

I have a BA in Psychology, want to go back for my Masters in it soon.
Shame though, I rarely use it on this level. I do use it with the kids in class, though on a much lower level.


This is a good thread we should have more like it!

Sweeny79 said:

Wow!. So you've learned Wilson's theory about the eight neurological circuits? You and I probably have two maybe three fizzing? He smokes too much weed, but he's an incredible thinker. I got my name from one of his mushroom trips into the fourth dimentional layer where he talked to the Pookah.

I think everyone regardless of IQ is lonely...but that's another thread for another day.

Sweeny79 said:

Damn ye woman, you got there too quick. That looked as if I was saying I was a genius when I would never think of implying such a thing.

You patronising me?

Number23 said:

Was that was some sort of slip on your part?


I didn't read it as you thinking you were a genius,anyhow. I understood what you were implying.
