Read this today, as it resonated with me… funny how that works:

“Avoid excessive identification with roles, even in your pursuit of mastery.

A major source of neurosis is over-identification with:
•job
•social image
•masculinity/femininity stereotypes
•success/failure narratives”

—Jung’s warning:
If you become only your “persona”
(social mask), you lose yourself.

The world is a very malleable place.

“God does not send us despair in order to kill us; he sends it in order to awaken us to new life.”

— Hermann Hesse

Heard this the other day and man, it hit hard…

When God wanted to make David king, he didn’t send him a crown. He sent him Goliath.

@Naturalphilosy Wishful hope → “Something outside me will eventually rescue me.”

Spiritual confidence → “I can actively transform myself and my relationship to reality.”

The first can make you passive.

The second can become a force for freedom.

[Bodhi @BodhiCMainard]

The great decisions of human life have as a rule far more to do with instincts and other mysterious unconscious factors than with conscious will and well-meaning reasonableness.

The shoe that fits well for one person pinched another.

Napoleon on How He Thinks:

"Different subjects and different affairs are arranged in my head as in a cupboard.

When I wish to interrupt one train of thought, I shut that drawer and open another.

Do I wish to sleep?

I simply close all the drawers, and there I am – asleep."

[1776 Live @250YearsAgoLive]

General Washington issues an order discouraging profanity among his troops:

“The General is sorry to be informed that the foolish and wicked practice of profane cursing and swearing (a vice heretofore little known in an American Army) is growing into fashion; he hopes the officers will, by example, as well as influence, endeavour to check it, and that both they, and the men will reflect, that we can have little hopes of the blessing of Heaven on our Arms, if we insult it by our impiety and folly; added to this, it is a vice so mean and low, without any temptation, that every man of sense, and character, detests and despises it.”

[Bodhi @BodhiCMainard]

“As a rule, the life of a young person is characterized by a general unfolding and a striving towards concrete ends; his neurosis, if he develops one, can be traced to his hesitation or his shrinking back from necessity.”

—Carl Jung

[Bodhi @BodhiCMainard]

“It is undeniable that a great many people find satisfaction in explaining their terms of an urge to power arising from a sense of inferiority.”

“A new command I give you: Love one another.“

John 13:34

[Bodhi @BodhiCMainard]

Some men there are who go down the dismal wrack of wondering, surrender themselves, and become faceless. But there are others who go down, submerge in the common slough, and then rise more themselves than they were, because they lost a littleness of vanity and gained all the gold of the company and the regiment. If you can go down so low, you will be able to rise higher than you can conceive, and you will know a holy joy, a companionship almost like that of a heavenly company of angles. Then you will know the quality of men even if they are articulate. But until you have gone way down you can never know this.

— Cyrus to Adam, East of Eden

Never complain, even if it makes you rich.

Do all things without grumbling or disputing.

—Philippians 2:14

And do not grumble, as some of them did—and were killed by the destroying angel.

—1 Corinthians 10:10

How long shall this wicked congregation grumble against me?

—Numbers 14:27

Do not grumble against one another, brothers and sisters, or you will be judged.

—James 5:9

They murmured in their tents, and did not obey the voice of the Lord.

—Psalm 106:25

You guys are extremely greedy

This country offers $2m to $10m per year to anyone willing to lease a vacant spot and start a local business that scales to 5 locations

Yet everyone I talk to wants to start an AI company, Ecom, or buy an egg carton factory

[Aristo @aristomarinetti]

Carl Jung was right when he said: The world will ask you who you are, and if you don’t know, the world will tell you.

[Bodhi @BodhiCMainard]

If a prince is of ordinary industry, he will always maintain himself in his state unless there is an extraordinary and excessive force which deprives him of it.

— Machiavelli
