Anything can serve as a symbol of the Psyche, just as anything can serve as a symbol of anything–because the meaning of anything is the meaning we subscribe to it. It is what we say it is. This is true of everything from the beginning of things. Nothing means anything of itself. Everything means whatContinue reading “October 08, 2025 – B”

Construction presupposes destruction. Destruction implies construction. Construction/destruction are not two things but one. Yin and Yang are not two things, but one. Light and dark. Right and wrong, Good and bad. All dualities are unities, combos, partnerships. It’s all one big mutuality seeking its partner in the dance of life and being. What help doContinue reading “October 05, 2005”

Then I asked Generative Fill in Photoshop to give me a “Swallowtail Butterfly” in the space I had drawn on the background, selected the oneContinue reading “October 02, 2025”

There is no difference, to my way of thinking, between heresy and reformation. Jesus was executed for heresy, but he was leading a reformation of the Jewish church of his day, not a rebellion against Roman occupation. The Romans could find no reason for executing him. They were doing the Jews a favor to putContinue reading “October 01, 2025”
