Change Is Shmard!

These last seven years when I've been sick and then moved back to New Jersey, I've noticed that Change is harder than it used to be.

They can be little, middle, or big changes - no matter.

Things moving and swirling about... and I not able to be an acceptable - to me - assistance, is a right pain.

It's like sitting in the center of a timeless state and watching the world sped up going on all around.

Being centered helps, but overstimulation seems to get in the way.

Just sitting here, typing and whinging away. Inside, mostly, I hope.

I've heard a new study that says that complaining makes you more creative.

Odd one, that. But if true, I have a lot to gain, though I try hard not to do the whining thing.

Really.

> This is a clip from the opening of a series of films Marie-Louise von Franz made in 1985 with her student, the Canadian filmmaker Fraser Boa. In it she explains her understanding of the subconscious and dreaming.

In the whole series there are 20 films in which Von Franz tackles different topics in response to issues raised in filmed interviews with the public. These fall into 4 sections:

Introduction to Archetypal Symbolism:

Men's Dreams:

Women's Dreams:

Relationships & End of Life issues.


Additionally there are 5 commentaries by Fraser Boa's brother, the analytical psychologist Marion Woodman, who has produced these published DVDs, in which she expands & clarifies certain concepts in the films.

The boxed set of 4 DVDs is available from http://www.wayofthedream.com/index.html? For a discussion forum featuring Von Franz's ideas see http://groups.yahoo.com/group/vonfranz/

"Nonetheless, the subconscious mind is the director till you rewrite the scripts. Put some effort into getting it working on your positive, conscious intentions instead of your old limiting, unconscious beliefs and your life will change. "     Marie-Louis von Franz

The part that really fascinates me about this quote - though the rest is her regular brand of thoughtful insight - is the word, "Nonethess." From whence that comes, I wonder.

I dream.
