Join 📚 Christian Champ's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Christian's read, .
Our outward-oriented consciousness, addressed to the demands of the day, may lose touch with these inward forces; and the myths, states Jung, when correctly read, are the means to bring us back in touch. They are telling us in picture language of powers of the psyche to be recognized and integrated in our lives, powers that have been common to the human spirit forever, and which represent that wisdom of the species by which man has weathered the millenniums.
Myths to Live By
Joseph Campbell
A man who has become conscious of the absurd is forever bound to it.
The Myth of Sisyphus
Albert Camus
We never experience "thoughts," "feelings," "perceptions,"
"intuitions," "sensations," etc. We invent those categories after the fact. What we experience, nanosecond by nanosecond, consists of continuous synergetic reactions of the organism-as-whole to the environment-as-a-whole, including incoming verbal signals from others in the same predicament.
These incoming verbal signals also produce in us reactions of the organism-as-a-whole sometimes culminating in a return signal.
