But I will keep what I want to say fully in the journals that I have been keeping. You are dearly loved and missed I do hate having to say that :( I found this video and thought of you not that I'm ever letting you go. It's the thought of how you can relate to someone else in their pain

Thoughts to think about Tuesday

 

Carl Jung: 'Who looks outside, dreams who looks inside, awakes.'

The quote by Carl Jung, "Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes," is a powerful statement that invites us to explore the depths of our inner selves rather than getting lost in external distractions. It serves as a reminder that true awakening and self-discovery come from introspection rather than seeking fulfillment solely in the outside world. At its core, the quote urges us to recognize the value of turning inward and exploring our thoughts, emotions, and beliefs. When we focus our attention on external stimuli, such as material possessions, societal expectations, or the constant pursuit of success, we may find ourselves caught in a perpetual cycle of longing and dreaming. We become consumed by desires that are often unfulfilling, leaving us feeling empty and disconnected from our true selves. To truly awaken, we must redirect our gaze inward, delving into the depths of our being. By looking within, we tap into the wellspring of wisdom that resides in each of us, allowing us to uncover our authentic desires, passions, and purpose. This process of self-reflection allows us to develop a profound understanding of ourselves and our place in the world, leading to a more meaningful and fulfilled existence. Now, let's introduce a philosophical concept that adds an unexpected twist to the article – solipsism. Solipsism is the belief that the only thing one can be certain of is the existence of their own mind and consciousness. In other words, it posits that all external reality may be an illusion created by one's own mind. While solipsism may seem contradictory to the idea of introspection, it actually opens up an interesting perspective on the quote by Jung. If we were to fully embrace solipsism, we might argue that looking both inside and outside are essentially the same action. Since all external experiences are ultimately filtered through our own consciousness, they are, in a sense, projections of our inner world. In this philosophical lens, the act of looking outside becomes a way for us to observe and better understand the workings of our own minds. The dreams we experience when looking outward can serve as rich sources of insight into our desires, fears, and subconscious patterns. These external phenomena, whether they are physical objects, relationships, or societal roles, can act as mirrors reflecting back our internal landscape. Conversely, when we look inside, we awaken to the understanding that our external reality is intimately tied to our perception and interpretation of it. By exploring our inner thoughts and emotions, we gain clarity about how our internal landscape shapes our external experiences. This awareness empowers us to consciously create our reality, steering it towards alignment with our true selves. While solipsism may be seen by some as an extreme view, incorporating it into the exploration of Jung's quote allows us to ponder the intricate relationship between our inner and outer worlds. It encourages us to view our external experiences as valuable clues to our own consciousness and motivates us to embark on the journey of self-awareness with curiosity and open-mindedness. In conclusion, Carl Jung's quote serves as a reminder of the importance of introspection in finding true awakening and fulfillment. By looking within, we can tap into our inner wisdom and uncover our authentic desires, passions, and purpose. However, considering the philosophical concept of solipsism adds an intriguing layer to Jung's message, highlighting the interconnectedness of our inner and outer worlds. Ultimately, embracing both perspectives encourages us to approach self-discovery with a holistic mindset, acknowledging the profound influence of our consciousness on our external reality.
