“We are living in what the Greeks called the kairos - the right moment - for a 'metamorphosis of the gods', of the fundamental principles and symbols. This peculiarity of our time, which is certainly not of our conscious choosing, is the expression of the unconscious man within us who is changing.” MenMomentsGrowthPrinciplesExpressionConsciousFundamentalsSymbolsGreekOur TimeUnconsciousMetamorphosisMemories Dreams ReflectionsRight MomentFundamental Principles Author:Carl Jung
“There are energies that reside in each phone and phoneme. And we can release them. And it can be grand and vast and you can create a realm where you can dwell for a while. Where things are perfect symbols of themselves, no manipulation. And that connects to me to the Buddhist view. From that perspective we can wake up on the spot, be conscious of our world, think of others.” ThinkingWorldEnergyPerfectViewsPerspectiveConsciousWake UpPhonesSpotsReleaseSymbolsBuddhistRealmsManipulationOur World Author:Anne Waldman
“What I am trying to do when I use symbols is to awaken in your unconscious some reaction. I am very conscious of what I am using because symbols can be very dangerous. When we use normal language we can defend ourselves because our society is a linguistic society, a semantic society. But when you start to speak, not with words, but only with images, the people cannot defend themselves.” PeopleTryingUseSpeakLanguageDangerousNormalConsciousReactionsSymbolsUnconsciousOur Society Author:Alejandro Jodorowsky
