It means one has at least transcended complete ignorance, in here what you call an automaton. However some people do get a glimpse of the painful and dangerous path and CHOOSE not to follow it, like that person in matrix who said he would rather be in the matrix than be free. To be free is a choice. For every choice, there is a cost/benefit. I love this post. Thank you. Melinda Alex,

]]> Comment on Jung, Alchemy and Magick by Melinda M. Sorensson http://aayawa.wordpress.com/2009/03/12/jung-alchemy-and-magick/#comment-67 Melinda M. Sorensson Thu, 12 Mar 2009 02:17:11 +0000 http://aayawa.wordpress.com/?p=266#comment-67 Dear Alex, You are familiar with the work of Carlos Castaneda? Granted that the journeys he mentioned were always with the use of peyote or other hallucinogenic plants, it still relates very much to this post, as it details twelve years of work of a Ph.D. candidate from Berkeley. The scholars dismiss his work as pure imagination or hallucinations, induced by the drugs, even the mythical shaman in his stories. Nevertheless, it points to those who are not skeptical about what is seen not being real. We create our realities, moment to moment, depending on how it will help us in our spiritual paths. The scholarly books on Zen discusses that the Buddha never answered questions about metaphysics as they are not conducive to spiritual development. To me this means that the experiences are real and that the Buddha never answered them because humans tend to get fascinated with the seeming "bending" of the physical laws. However we are here in this world to experience and if experimenting with magic is part of our path, then so be it. "Om gate, gate, parasamgate, bodhi svaha" warmest regards, Melinda M.

The solutions I mentioned would probably not work for America because of the larger population. Now if all mortgages were paid off using bailout money the supply would drop and there is even the possibility of monelyless trading of houses of approximately the same value.

It just won’t be solely at the hands of the government, it will be to some degree at the hands of the American people,” said TheGreatAmericanHousingRecovery.com. “Simply put, the issue is fundamental supply and demand. There are just too many homes for sale on the market. If we can get Americans to pull their homes for sale off the market then we immediately alter the supply side of the model.” “Yes, there are other fundamental issues with our economy, but the housing market led us into this recession and the housing market will lead us out.

And the same goes for Einstein's and Maxwell's accounts of the forces. So the thought could be that a further explanatory theory could be developed that is not self-explanatory. Although for other reasons I don't believe that a theory of everything could be developed that explains both quantum theory and gravity. And one reason is that, unlike gravity theory, quantum theory does not sufficiently explain the observations it's based on. So in the standard model there is no causal explanation of the quantum behaviour called wave, spin and entanglement.

I have the impression that the paranormal side are using out of date physics.
