“Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity.”

—Carl Jung

“One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feelings. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child.”

Books are sharks... because sharks have been around for a very long time. There were sharks before there were dinosaurs, and the reason sharks are still in the ocean is that nothing is better at being a shark than a shark.

Douglas Adams

A Shark is a Shark.

A Shark Is A Shark.

Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people.

Excerpt From Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind (2004) Screenplay

Excerpt from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) screenplay

      The point of this scene is legitimately to portray Joel’s confusion. But I caught on to the parallel of Rob’s birdhouse, as foresight into Joel’s memory of killing a bird. Surrounded by the context of Clementine erasing Joel, it reads as though the bird symbolizes Joel’s innocence. While the birdhouse would be what he needed from his relationship to Clementine... In a very Jungian sense.

Dream Report October 31st 2020:

      There was a restaurant deep inside this tunnel system. I followed the sound of Janelle Monae’s performance when she sang “Tonight We Come Alive.” She escorted me herself towards a bar scene, where I spotted my great-grandmother.

      The bar wasn’t crowded, it was actually very quiet, but I couldn’t get anyone’s attention... until I encountered this man, who was totally disoriented. He was drunkenly trying to grasp me, and shooe’d me out of the restaurant.

      So I was outside looking in, somehow I was walking on photo frames hung in the tunnels, to get a better view of the restaurant which was now upside down. Then my eyes went back to my grandmother, surrounded by some family members. I suddenly heard water pouring in through other parts of the tunnel system.

      Again nobody notice me when I met them in the bar. Then I said “I can’t create with all of this sadness in here.” Only my grandmother turned to face me, as if acknowledging my presence. I kissed her on the cheek and left.

“Anyone who wants to know the human mind will learn next to nothing from experimental psychology. He would be better advised to put away his scholar’s gown, bid farewell to his study, and wander with human heart through the world. There, in the horrors of prisons, lunatic asylums and hospitals, in drab suburban pubs, in brothels and gambling-halls, in the salons of the elegant, the Stock Exchanges, Socialist meetings, churches, revivalist gatherings and ecstatic sects, through love and hate, through the experience of passion in every form in his own body, he would reap richer stores of knowledge than text-books a foot thick could give him, and he will know how to doctor the sick with real knowledge of the human soul.”

- “New Paths in Psychology” In CW 7: Two Essays on Analytical Psychology. P.409

- Carl G. Jung

A brilliant man and a fine writer.
