Dear Bernard, Forgive me, it looks like I never replied to this message of some while back. Not sure if that story about background music to an add is ...
Hey all, I have just come across this board and I thought I would introduce myself and maybe try to suggest a discussion topic. I live in Belfast, Northern...
Just to help I thought this quote from Lilly might be helpful: "We have been seeking answers to the queston of what happens to a brain & its contained mind in...
Dear Rod, welcome to the ontos group, which is sometimes fierce, and at other times quiet. since it's been mostly quiet for the last few months, it could be...
Hi Firas, I don't think you fully understood what I was trying to say, I wasn't questioning what mysticism is, what religion is. I was merely suggesting that...

Dear Bernard, First, every good wish for the new year to you. As for the Jung article, which I have read through, I do not think this kind of attack on Jung...
