Recently I've been contemplating reading some of Jung's work, I just don't know where to begin (what book to start with). Anyone have a suggestion as to where would be a good starting point?

Well, I suppose that the author is assuming it is human nature to socialize and participate with your fellows. Any renunciation of that instinct must be brought about by some form of alienation, and alienation tends to result from some sort of negative incident/pattern of events in ones life...

yah i just mad a thread lol

The Outsider (Colin Wilson) is a book that I am currently in the process of reading, and I came along a section within the book that struck me as precise and profound in regards to the plight of the outsider, and resonated with me acutely. This particular section pertains namely to T.E...

That seems very... enlightening.

Your avatar is terrific, did you draw that?

Good thread, I think. Do you still research Salvia Divinorum? Would you ever consider experimenting with it again if you felt like you had sufficient knowledge and preparedness to properly evaluate the experience? Your visions of the lizard-folk I find particularly interesting, as the race of...

Glad you asked, EditorOne. It's a photo of Emperor Norton I, Emperor of the U.S. and Protector of Mexico.

It's fine.

I think my F is so low that I don't even have the capacity to feel depressed.

For example, I totally zonked out before I finished Ermine's post.

I find that the same thing is happening to me, I can't even finish reading half the posts I see on here. I think for me it has to do with the fact I'm online, and there are so many diversions and ways to get sidetracked that I can't focus on one thing too long with so many other possibilities...

I once ate 2 double cheeseburgers and some fries from McDonalds, my heart was skipping beats all day.

I only have a problem accepting defeat when I am defeated at something I have put a lot of time and effort into trying to be good at. Fortunately, though, I don't tend to put time or effort into anything.

Or write a holy book =D

As in can't keep a job? Well, what if someone's different outlook on society is one that repudiates the monetary system (economic, political, industrial) or the labor policies. Indeed, fighting such a thing by refusing to have a job or refusing to utilize the currency seems psychotic (how does...

Hitler looked like a dick even as a kid.

I'm not really sure what the difference between being different/seeing/thinking things other people don't, and mental processes that are so debilitating that the "victim" can't function is. I feel that if someone has such qualms with society as is, then of course to function smoothly within it...

Came out of forum retirement to post on this thread... D2 is the best game of all time if you ask me. I think it's a good idea to get together and play online, granted I usually play Hardcore mode - not sure if any you do. I had a level 84 HC Necromancer but I stripped him and deleted him...

I'm going to come out and say that ADD is overall a positive thing for society... of course, those with ADD will forever be the bane of those who want to structure and control and funnel human will through a very narrow sieve of social ideals. This is why society and it's institutions are so...

Good post. I find this part to be especially true for me, because when I'm trying to find out how I feel about a girl I will always try to explore her psychologically. I'll get the ball rolling on a conversation or debate and I will get more intense in the discussion... then she'll eventually...

Same here.

Psychedelics/hallucinogens is actually an amazingly interesting subject. Many people dismiss the merits of altered states of consciousness out of hand, because of the negative stigma attached to all drugs and any uses thereof. Many psychedelics have been shown to break habits to other chemical...

I'm not really sure how dark it is, but this is one of my favorite piano pieces. YouTube- Castlevania - Bloody Tears

Yeah, don't sweat it Blob. Being popular here is like being popular at a Nuremberg Rally... wear the disdain that others have for you as a badge of honor.

Blood Gnome...............

Now that it's cool!

I stood up for you in the Viewpoints on God thread.

This is very interesting, and I see it as a great challenge. Particularly any identity that would require much extroverted behavior. Not only that, but the people who are familiar with me would be totally perplexed at such sudden changes in behavior I would most likely alienate myself from all...

*Crushes The Empire* No tagbacks.

Wow, don't know if I can think of 10 individual albums off the top, but in no particular order: Colour And The Shape - Foo Fighters Brave New World - Iron Maiden Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden Through The Eyes - Flaw Endangered Species - Flaw Venting - Five Bolt Main Take a Look in The Mirror - Korn...

If I could find a clear definition of reality this would make a lot more sense to me.

This is actually very interesting, thanks for posting it. It makes complete sense, I'm generally content in quieter more tranquil atmosphere where others would seem to be bored. And I do break down in more social and active atmosphere, I get migraines and feel anxiety and exhaustion. I also...

"A Discordian should be confused by his enlightenment and enlightened by his confusion."

*laughs*

I agree, also makes people feel content with what they can earn with what they know. That seems to be the standard for education anymore.

This reminds me of the guru, or the master approach. That there is a standard to be learned from an arbiter of truth. In this case the master would be a "world-mediated" consensus, which I am quite wary of. I don't like the person-shaped-by-society protocol. Though I do understand that we are in...

Kind of like the bottomfeeders.... deal with all the refuse from the Extroverts who eat the candy bar and leave the wrappers lying around everywhere then build structures out of the garbage so people can come in and buy more candy bars.

I was thinking about this very thing a few nights ago, I am a Cancer and I'd imagined that there were probably a high concentration of INTP's that were Cancers. I'm actually on the cusp of Gemini and Cancer.

I have seen in my brief time on these forums some posts regarding schooling and education in this country. I, myself and others seem to be of the sentiment that our educational institutions are lacking in helping us develop a true personal intelligence and merely pumping out drones to help...

I think what I have learned here is that "artistry" is subjective. I however do not believe that discipline and art are intrinsically bound, nor am I sure that they are diametrically opposed. Hmm..

Define Illuminati

Well, Obama is actually just a fraction of what it is about, but the general message is that Obama (as with Bush) is another shill for elite oligarchical financiers who really control policy in America along with globalist roundtable groups such as Council on Foreign Relations, Trilateral...

Yeah, when people always ask "How have you been?" "What have you been doing lately?" You know, all that pointless bullshit filler talk... I used to try to engage in the conversation and give an elaborate answer but it was just terrible. Any more I don't even bother trying. I'll just answer with...

You know, sometimes I wonder about this. Often times I simply feel that good people don't seek power, so it is inevitable that the powers that be will steer humanity in a course of calamity. Is it just human nature that over time societies will denegrate and become tyrannous because it is...

I've been an advocate of Ron Paul and his stance against the money powers. I agree with Paul that it is absolutely imperative to abolish the Federal Reserve System and end the wars for global conquest that are being waged right now. When I was watching the presidential debates before the...

Well Ben, first of all why is it propaganda-filled? I'm not disagreeing, just asking how it is so. Also, That documentary is not my only base of information from which I derive my general feelings about government and how it is run.
