• A dialogue about attention from the 3D to the non-3D

    [Cat’s paw submitted on 2015/09/05 at 4:59 pm, in response to “Immortal and yet mortal.” This lengthy response, in the form of a dialogue between “cat’s paw” and cat’s paw’s guys upstairs, seems worthy of its own post.] “for discouragement is a great drain on power.” Man, don’t I know it. Nothing more readily stops…

  • More on soul and spirit

    [I don’t know why I should repeat the second of yesterday’s transmissions, but that’s the strong feeling I get, and who am I to argue?] Sunday, September 6, 2015 F: 5 a.m. Today is the 49th anniversary of my beginning this journal at age 20. I have been doing this nearly twice as long –…

  • The spirit, continued

    [I have labeled my interlocutor J for Jung, but in this case I think it was sometimes Jung, sometimes a group, sometimes “to be defined.” I’m perfectly comfortable with that, but I mention it here lest the reader think I am more certain of who is speaking than in fact I am.] Monday, September 7,…

  • TGU on learning and our place in life

    Tuesday, September 8, 2015 F: 6 a.m. Open for business, and I will defer to your agenda. TGU: Then let me talk a little more about spirit. F: All right. I well remember that we were in the middle of something, either yesterday or Sunday. TGU: Conceptually, we are engaged in stitching together different patches…

  • Jung on the Copernican Shift

    Tuesday, September 8, 2015 F: 10:30 a.m. Dr. Jung, as soon as I open The Portable Jung to the section on the transcendent function, I again get the strong urge to discuss it with you. Are my intuitions about it wrong? CGJ: Why do you think you are being prodded, and why you? You are…

  • Jung on what we can and cannot know

    Wednesday, September 9, 2015 Nearly 6 a.m. I skipped over the section in The Portable Jung on “Analytical Psychology and Poetry” and will probably skip the sections on synchronicity and maybe “Answer to Job,” although come to think of it, reading it now will surely be very different from whenever I read it first. When…

  • Jung on some dreams of the church

    [The process is always perplexing. If Jung, how could he get part of the dream wrong? Therefore presumably not Jung, or not entirely Jung. I fall back again on my usual mantra, does the material resonate?] Thursday, August 10, 2015 F: 5 a.m. Dr. Jung, I remembered, last night, a dream I had on my…

  • Our minds, like flames

    Saturday September 12, 2015 F: 6 a.m. Dr. Jung – if it is Dr. Jung – how can it be a valid connection and yet get things wrong? It worries me. CGJ: You cannot expect 100% from anything. You know that. So are you then going to disregard your own advice to others and judge…

  • Procedural question

    The following is not for its metaphysical content, obviously, but it does raise a question in me, so perhaps in you. Does anybody else have experience that indicates that medications or scheduling interferes with access to the non-3D? Or perhaps we are merely being told that it is not access but ambition that is contra-indicated?…

  • Specifics versus principles

    As I watch the political and ideological arguments swirling around us, I really do try to understand why people argue past each other, even when I am one of those arguing. Lack of knowledge of logical fallacies is one reason. Anger is another. But in the middle of the night (I seem to do my…
