Meditate, rein in mind’s habitual need to abstract (the Many) away from the here and now (Presence), all phenomenological distractions will surrender to (n)One.
Awareness is dynamic, love is being. Awareness is love in action. By itself the mind can actualize any number of possibilities, but unless they are prompted by love, they are valueless. Love precedes creation. Without it there is only chaos.
RELEASE ALL THE EPSTEIN FILES!
Stop the Coverup, DOJ - Pam Bondi, stop breaking the law. Unredact all names, not just the victims. Do your jobs, Congress, full transparency and accountability for the victims, now. I stand with the victims. They deserve truth. ALL DESERVE TRUTH.
🚨 BREAKING: Epstein survivors have released a powerful national PSA urging the Justice Department and Congress to unseal all Epstein files — making their appeal ahead of the Super Bowl and demanding full transparency, accountability, and truth for victims.
New: Vance gave the speech to the secretive Teneo Network. The GOP vice presidential nominee has been a member of the Leonard Leo-backed group, which seeks to cultivate conservative influence in business and culture. https://t.co/kTv0j5BLWT
The media is about to implode. MSNBC Morning Joe is threatening to quit. CNN’s restructuring will fire marquee personalities, possibly Tapper and Bash. Murdoch is at war with trump over JD Vance pick, who he fiercely opposed. Ladies and gentlemen, the press is feeling the power of the people and they are running scared shitless. Let’s continue the pressure, till we put them out of their misery. Bravo my friends. 🥂
MUST WATCH: 'Disturbing' recordings from inside child-predator sting shows police, MAGA operatives ignoring laws. (Watch, listen to secret recording excerpts in link below. Videography by @BryanStaples.)
The father of #ThomasCrooks, Trump's assassin, appears in the Trump campaign's 2016 data sets.
This data was also used by Cambridge Analytica to flood millions of Americans with MAGA-Pizzagate propaganda.

BREAKING: Donald Trump’s former Secretary of Defense Mark Esper has confirmed as President, Donald Trump asked him to order the shooting of American protestors. This feels remarkably important when considering who’s boiled the temperature of our political climate.
😳 Heritage Foundation (lead organizer of Project 2025) has on three separate occasions in the last week or two promoted Trump/Heritage alum William Wolfe, a militant fundamentalist Christian and leading figure in the self-professed “Christian Nationalism” movement. 1/
This is just the beginning of the thread.
I’m going to let each new post breathe for 30-45 min and then add another.
For the rest of today.
Maybe for the rest of the week.
I have 100’s of true tweets about Trump raping children bookmarked.
#Maga Chud’s should have never come at me with their bullshit.
OMG! President Biden’s campaign just released this statement on Trump picking J.D. Vance for VP and they absolutely DESTROY Trump. Every American needs to see this ASAP!
Nietzsche’s phrase “𝘖𝘯𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘯𝘦’𝘴 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘳𝘦, 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘥” has often proved invaluable to me in my work with love-tormented patients.~Dr. Irvin Yalom
Professor Jung: One is naturally scared stiff by the possibility that the #unconscious could do something on its own.
I remember a colleague, a psychotherapist, who likewise couldn’t believe that the unconscious is not a manure pile. Well, I told him, “It moves. It is alive!” He couldn’t grasp this. I told him to try and have a look at his fantasy images. He didn’t know what that meant. I said to him, “Take a look at such an image before falling asleep. Concentrate on it.” This he did, and an image appeared to him, a rock face and an ibex, which stood there completely stock-still. He concentrated on this image. At first nothing happened, and he thought that that was it. He wanted to avert his head. At that moment the ibex turned its head. He was so terribly frightened that he was more perplexed than ever. Then he said, “I don’t know how it happened, but it did move!”
I once treated an artist, a very amusing personality, a stage director, but not from here. He lived in the same boardinghouse as some of the patients. He soon found out that people are frightened when something they hadn’t expected happens. So then he would always ask, “Was it black? Did it move?”⁸⁷ Here again you find that terrible fear of the autonomous unconscious. Hence we don’t want it to be alive. Such persons get into an anxiety state with a pulse rate of 120, or they stage hysterical vomiting.
Then they say that it came out of the unconscious, but the unconscious is not allowed to do anything, one has to think there’s nothing to it. After all, one has already done away with the spook, hasn’t one? It’s not spooky any longer. Haven’t we cleared up the matter? And still Tegel is haunted!⁸⁸
Let us get back to Cardanus: it doesn’t occur to him that the unconscious could be something on its own. He nevertheless assumes that it’s able to make prophecies, and he addresses the spirits. In reality, however, he simply treats it as if it were material for his thoughts. The unconscious tells him that there is a very beautiful order in the unconscious; in addition, this order forms the meaningful symbol of the rose, which actually he completely overlooks. His interpretation is totally inadequate. He also identifies quite directly with #Mercury on the right side. This gives us an insight into this man’s state of #consciousness. It was the time, the beginning, of the great hubris of consciousness, in which even the Christian gods were doomed; it was the age of the Reformation, of the great voyages of discovery, of the revival of antiquity, etc. I once quoted to you from the confession of Agrippa von Nettesheim, who calls himself “daemon et deus et omnia.”⁸⁹
Well, what appears here in the #mandala, in the symbol of the rose, is a very significant symbol; however, it is also said in a very abstract manner that it is a totality, a circle. In #alchemy it is simply called rotundum,⁹⁰ the round element, and this is the epitome of the microcosm, the roundness of the deity. In Empedocles, too, sphairos, the globe, is the highest god. The globe is a perfect shape.⁹¹ And so is the star that had fallen into Cardanus’s yard, and which is found here in the unconscious, indeed where the fifteen stars and the moon are.
Now at the end of the #dream there comes the hint that he’d have to wait until Mercury had a congressus⁹² with the #moon. The moon always means the female, the #shadow side, the dark side or the night side. In a man it is a symbol of the unconscious, the #anima, whereas the sun represents male consciousness. And the goal of the development in the dream, the goal of the #individuation process, is that “coniunctio solis et lunae,”⁹³ to bring consciousness into connection with the unconscious. Why is he supposed to get in connection with the unconscious? What might be the reason? And what happens afterward?
Participant: Then order will be established in the totality.
Professor Jung: Male, mercurial consciousness will unite with the lunar unconscious, and Mercury will thus enter into that symbol of the rose, into the cosmic order of the unconscious. What will develop in the lunar world if Mercury enters into it?
Participant: There will be consciousness.
Professor Jung: Yes, at first there is no consciousness, but when Mercury enters into it, consciousness will develop. After all, that’s the purpose of the coniunctio, that the unconscious be filled by consciousness. And what should fill consciousness from the unconscious? What does the unconscious bring into consciousness?
Participant: Life.
Professor Jung: Yes, the unconscious, the dark, simply lives and simply goes on functioning. It is. But nobody knows it. Nobody is present; nobody takes part in this. We only fear it, keep it at a distance, so that we make certain that we are not going to be lived, so that we can go on cherishing illusions. Man, however, is both someone who thinks and is thought.
Participant: The dark is chaotic.
Professor Jung: That’s what we think. One would think that the cosmos is what is conscious, but this is not so at all. Sometimes it is ordered, sometimes not. Sometimes there is simply disorder, disorientation, in the unconscious. We have no order in consciousness. Therefore we find order in the unconscious, not in consciousness. That’s the remarkable discovery: there is order in the unconscious, not in consciousness. At what time was there order in consciousness?

⁸⁸ #Goethe visited the castle of Tegel (Berlin) on May 20, 1778, and was told the story that something spooky had happened in the forester’s house. He alluded to this in Faust, when the Proctophantasmist scolds Faust and the two witches: “Still there? You are very impertinent! / Vanish, will you! This is the Enlightenment! / The race of devils will not play by the book, / Clever as we are, in Tegel there’s still a spook” (Constantine, Faust Part II, vv. 4158–61).
