...looking at what yo uwrote, i completely agree. a part of me wants to call that arrogant or pandering, but it's true.That's how i feel, and it amkes sense now hat you lay it out like that. thank you for putting that into words in such an eloquently straightforward way, and thereindoing bringing it to my conscious attention in such an organized way.

There is a book i read, a long time ago, as a child.

It deals with a journey into a forest which can create mythic archetypes, enable YOU, through practice, to create them, and transform you into one.

I read it before I knew what it meant. It afterwards became one of my first stones to hold onto, until I could hold onto my self.

It's called Mythago Wood, by Robert Holdstock. It always struck me, in words like the Frost poems 'Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening' and 'The Road Not Taken'... so deep and dark and dangerous and engrossing and enveloping, yet so very floaty and light, always hiding at your shoulder, tapping when you least appear to notice or to see, or to remember, or to know... (the cover picture, the cover in question being the one which resembles Magritte's Le Blanc Seing) always struck me, and has stayed with me to this day. I have yet to read any of the other seven? books, save for the indirect? sequel, Lavondyss... but taht is of little import/importance here. I wanted you to know that I ahve been trying ot think about these things fora long time, and am very happy that I cna now, due in part to people like you and of course, myself. Thank you again for being here and doing this with us.

a more direct connection to the archetypes... hrm. this is fascinating. But I have yet to be very surprised by anything like this when it happens, you know, being told soemthing and feeling lik you already knew,but couldn't bring the pieces together to see the big picture? That is what surprises me- not being surprised. ha! Do you get like that? expectation is so funny that way.

It was a dangerous book to read at such a young age... i felt that very strongly... but I'm still here. ;) I recommend it sometimes, to people who are searching. It's my duty to help, if i think i should nad can. i just gotta stop compulsively doing it and work on myself more! ;)

like today... i dreamed I drew my cat curled up with a bit of tail sticking out in a puff... ;) no color, just in pencil, yeah? it was nice and warm-feeling-giving.

ALSO, i har di har by ACCIDENT found a book called Aztec Christic Magic by Samael Aun Weor... that was fascinating, that little snippet, for the interpretations of religious history and possible symbolism revelations alone... i may talk mom into buying it for our collection. the way the writing in that book was, it was so very easy to read... like butter on the brain. so soothing. i worry about anyone who calls themselves a Master though... but, then again, if people call you one, maybe you are. logical progression doesn't necessarily mean a dog is not a dog and should not call itself a dog... ;)still, i worry. ;) but that is my problem. ;) namaste.

um, also ,before i go, there is a part of my intuition that is claiming/worried that some day soon I will make you angry at me, or annoy you in some way i may or may not be aware of or have desired. I hate but respect when these happen, because they almost if not ALWAYS turn out true in some way. Um, I'm sorry, beforehand. But it may be a necessary exercise for both of us, despite not knowing each other, or being friends, or even really acquaintances of any kind save for this necessary casual-causative relationship with your readership thing you've got going any time you run a site like this for forum-interaction. To be clear, I am not joking, lying, or trying to manipulate or trick you in any way; this is what i feel, right now. it jsut hit/struck/smacked me. so, myself and anyoen reading this must think of anything odd that might happen as a dynamic learning environment... although sometimes in hindsight we wish it could have gone a little less FREAKYWEIRD. i hope I'm wrong, but I've felt... an ODD niggle about this site for a while now... i just don't know hwy... it's bugging the shiznit out of my subconscious. or whichever part gets bugged like that. that said, i gotta go now or I'll start to obsess over it trying to figure it out before the oven dings, so to speak haha. but, you know, it's really just like this: you feel like an oyster, and you suddenly realize you have a grain in your craw and it's building into a pearl... so irritating! you jsut GOTTA know what it is, gotta get it out, to get some peace! I bet you do that a lot. You sound liek that kind of person.and as for the trigger, i knew it as soon as i saw your avatar pic the day i explored this site after I found it (the site) again once you had revamped this new site from the old site. I just knew there was something going to happen, and it hasn't manifested yet. i was trying to avoid mentioning it lest I make you uncomfortable, but I just... I had to get it off my chest. I hope it's a positive experience, although i try to welcome the negative as well. ANDDD enough about me and my babble.I hope my dreams are engaging and nourishing for you. ;)

again,

namaste.

are you okay?

Kathy,
Not irritated. But very busy.

Which website of mine are speaking of? The Myths-Dreams-Symbols website? I haven't revamped it to any degree in awhile. It has been on line since 1998 {an old site comparably and established}. I will eventually revamp some of the contents to make them easier to understand. Jung is 'deep stuff' and although I have made the pages to be as easy to read as possible I wand to do a better job of that. Jungian psyche has so much to offer to those who are brave enough {and worthy} to travel the inner journey.
