Foulkes was deeply influential within the cognitive approach to dreams. While statistical analysis can be a highly useful approach to dreamwork, the hyper-focus on minute grammatical propositions feels like it misses the whole reason to study dreams ...more

Rainer Maria Rilke
“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.”
Rainer Maria Rilke

Joseph Campbell
The Hero Path

We have not even to risk the adventure alone
for the heroes of all time have gone before us.
The labyrinth is thoroughly known ...
we have only to follow the thread of the hero path.
And where we had thought to find an abomination
we shall find a God.

And where we had thought to slay another
we shall slay ourselves.
Where we had thought to travel outwards
we shall come to the center of our own existence.
And where we had thought to be alone
we shall be with all the world.”
Joseph Campbell

“We had the experience but missed the meaning. And approach to the meaning restores the experience in a different form.”

Robert A. Heinlein
“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”

message 2: by Tait

Tait Thank you for reviewing that, it's one of those zines that usually finds its way shuffled to the back of the journal closet. But as you described in your comment does also bring back a flush of inspiration for those years, as well as a bit of laughter about how young I was then. You don't need to change either the title or author, but it's nice to know that it's out there and people still think of it from time to time.


Tentatively, Convenience Hey Tait!

Did you notice that I reviewed a bk of yrs?

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33...

I called it "Collected Writings" & credited it to "Sprout".

Let me know if you want me to change either of those.
