Some how the movie reminded me that I need to actually study psychology and then I thought about actually reading Carl Jung books instead of just reading his tweets on twitter.
Forgive me, but as I watched the movie -- most of the action taking place in that trinket-packed room -- I could only think: "Who has to dust those things?"
Is it worthwhile? I read the book that inspired it when I was in college and reading everything CS Lewis ever wrote and moving on to stuff written about him… if i remember right it was not an imagined dialogue but a chapter on love, on death, on morality, on god… more idea summary than a story… I did enjoy Anthony Hopkins as Lewis finding love late in life and was curious to see him play Freud… but honestly it was low on my list of movies to watch… meaning maybe not ever
I once lived on the bottom floor of a college dorm that down the hall ended a door where above the sign “machine room” someone had written “time” and every time I saw it I smiled and felt younger.
I may go spread some make believe magic tomorrow and go cosplay as Chewbacca. Afterwards I can come back home and overhaul Cosplay Confessional by applying all the great things I have learned over the last 2 years.
Coincidentally, I thought about you today when I came across this passage in a frankly odd yet fascinating but too-long-to-hold-my-attention-to-the-end article, maybe story, about attention in the New Yorker:
“I had tried then to get in touch with the Order. My efforts had led nowhere. “It’s a Fight Club thing,” someone later explained to me, with a degree of earnestness that, like much about the Order of the Third Bird, I struggled to gauge. “The first rule of the Birds is you don’t talk about the Birds.” I’d wondered whether Burnett might be involved.”
I hope we all get to put something enduring into the culture.
[wishing my eye was black so I’d be wincing as I winked]
Hah! At this week's acting class, our first session, I got a similar surprise. While I've not outed myself, and go by a fake name, a fellow classmate made a 'Fight Club' reference. As we were wrapping up, he said, "We should all go pick a fight and lose, like in the movie."
More soon, the Meisner Technology is fascinating and reminds me of some est training and a bit of Scientology. Very gestalt.
Oh to be remembered as a jingle - one of the first things your mind will remember after it's wiped clean from a massive rip of hippy crack! (The people I used to hang with would go HARD)
I think that's what they mean by ego death maybe, not sure...
I'll have to check the Netflix show.
I love how dualism is "manly" in Mere Christianity and second in desirability to Christianity. ☯.
That made me think of that movie / play "God on Trial" that is supposedly based upon a true story. I'll have to check out Freud’s Last Session!
I fear of what discount Mr. Tumnus would be
Seen any of the “Leprechaun” films?
“Discount Narnia 2: Back 2 tha Hood”
Are you psychic? I was just watching a pretty good video on the difference between Jung and Freud.
He’s either psychic or he’s got connections at Alphabet, because his timeliness is uncanny.
What's 'Alphabet'?
The parent company of Google.
Oh that sounds like good stuff. I will watch after work.

lololol. Fair.
My kids (7 and 10) think The Magician's Nephew is the best book ever written. Hoping my 20th book impresses their kids half as much.
Greetings from Connecticut....

Ha! Small world when you’ve stamped it.
I’m assuming your fake name is Nick Carraway? Or some other literary “witness”

There’s needs to be a god for there to be no god
Discount Narnia feels like the tale for our times.
Numerous knockoff Narnias in chain stores, dollar stores, hardware stores, and derelict carnivals…
Thought the group might find this interesting
