Hello everyone,
What a great entry, thanks bodhi for bringing it up and thanks Cecilia for the presentation.
In a world where we have dissociated ourselves so much from the unconscious, now more than ever I believe we need to re-establish that connection and Cecilia offers a great way to see why mythology is
important. And why there is a connection to myth and science (now that is ironic coming from me).
I am certain Jung said somewhere in Man and His Symbols. Paraphrasing him, "There is knowledge in the unconscious that has never been conscious", and I think that he wasn't talking about experiences, as far as I can tell this means that we inheret through our biology and evolution some sort of wisdom ingrained from the past of our species, ghosts of unknown origin that have evolved through the millenia and are there waiting silently to be awakened.
I see, the tree of life that Cecilia has applied to the blueprint of the brain, and having in my mind the symbolic associations that the tree of life represents, then it must mean that some sort of balance, harmony, wholeness, within the structure and functions of the brain, has been achieved. But maybe it goes even deeper?
But let me ask some questions. For example, what is contraction and release and what are they used for? Also the part about how the brain is made of three brains that evolved on top of each other is a bit fuzzy to me. And many more.. but I am tired and I had a full day however I am gonna say this and go crash.
The brain... yeah... pretty complex...
I can see clearly now the layers of realities that exists below the surface where everything is shrouded by darkness, where consiousness is but a mere slave to the demands of Gods, where any attempt to escape this crude matter comes in the forms of demons. I see... Electrical signals clashing together forming alliances whispering of wars creating gods and demons, heavens and hells and darkness, infinite darkness.
