Another really interesting concept of Jung is actually kind of opposite to the concept of collective unconscious from the previous post.
It is his concept of individuation.
Individuation is the process of transforming the psyche by bringing the personal and collective unconscious into consciousness.
As already became clear in my previous post, I see it that halve of [...]

Collective Unconscious

Just now I looked at my previous post Individual Language again and I suddenly realised something.
I mentioned several theories and ever so many people that came up with those theories. But no matter how important those theories are (in general, but especially in the purpose of this blog) there is one [...]

Individual Language

As I am blogging for some time now, it is getting more and more clear what is the core of what I want to write about.
This weekend I stayed a bit away from the computer and thought what I really, down to the essense, wanted to be the purpose of this blog.
And I came to [...]

A few days ago, someone on Twitter wrote about a Youtube video of an interview with David Bohm, after he had send some quotes from Bohm that caught my attention.
I followed the link to the Youtube video and was immediately fascinated by this man. I am not exactly sure why, but it seemed that what [...]

Tomorrow Gone

The world is silent – No sound is heard – But the everlasting wind
The roads are long – No easy going – Struggle in a daily grind
Going down – Is less exhausting – Time to look around
Nothing certain – Just two feet – That toneless hit the ground
Forget to breath – So overwhelming – Is [...]

Thumbnail image for 12 Phases of Blogging

These are 12 phases a blogger might go through. It is a cycle for all development, so I thought why not for blogging.
It is a cycle that can take a whole (blogging) lifetime, but it can also be something that you go through very fast, or only partly.
For some the focus is very [...]

Defining Spirit and Soul

Thumbnail image for Defining Spirit and Soul

Soul is one of those words with many different meanings. Everyone has his own interpretation of that word. Another one of those words is spirit, which is often used where someone else might use soul.
And others might not use those words at all, because there is no actual ‘thing’ that can be measured.
The way I [...]

Basic Concepts

With my latest model of combining Integral theory and the Zodiac, the model is turned. Now it is the same as in Integral theory (LL is indeed lower left) and now the Zodiac is upside down.
I use the words ‘inside’ and ‘outside’ instead of ’subjective’ and ‘objective’. And instead of ‘impersonal’ I now use the [...]

More than One Spirit

Although spirit and soul are words that have all kinds of different meanings, I just have to use them here because I have no other way of describing the way I see the human development.
So in the zodiac I use them for the fire signs (spirit) and the water signs (soul).
In the post Ego development [...]

Three Levels of the Mind

Thumbnail image for Three Levels of the Mind

The individual mind of the previous post Ignorance and Projection is different from the primordial and the universal mind.
In the zodiac there are three basic levels.
These levels are seen everywhere and in everything, but here it is used for the individual human development of the mind.
‘Primordial’  is used for the pre-individual phase and ‘universal’  is [...]

Ignorance and Projection

Instead of going through the whole human development in a chronological way, I much more like to describe whatever comes into my mind. And at the moment it is REFLECTION.
The word reflection that is used here for the astological sign libra, is the essence of that sign midway between ignorance and projection.
It is above the [...]

What versus How

Thumbnail image for What versus How

Until now I have mainly been writing about my other blogs for the aboutpage. And re-posting some posts from those blogs to get things started on this blog. The reason is not that I don’t know what I want to write about. The reason is that I don’t know HOW to write it.
Do I take [...]
