Hi-ho and hello.
The beauty of Jung’s concepts for the Five Pillars is contemporary, nearly fashionable in the respects of how this philosophy can be practiced, and how its focus is to the whole of each individual.
I, apparently got excited, and knowing the bit I’m familiar with of Jung’s Five Pillars I just jumped in and started focusing on the first pillar. This is all fine and dandy, if I wasn’t a student, wasn’t more entrenched in the totality of this concept, as I do believe it is a formidable way of building oneself.
Now that said and given life is to purpose, is to breathe, is to life, is to continue and on…What is the purpose of this site? Well, it is to affect one, maybe more, but if one can be helped, touched, moved, then the purpose is true.
Yes, I started this wanting to do the vlogging, with cooking and odd acting bits, op-ed discussions recorded and posted, bits of personal life with subjective narratives throughout, but life has its way in guiding doesn’t it, regardless of fate, dualism, choice, or philosophy, life has a funny way of bringing people to our door, our minds, and hearts in such a way that I’d be a fool not to question my reality. Or at the least pull back the layers to see where the bridge and tether of each person, icon, and talisman that create what we’ve become and are becoming to better understand.
But, let’s start with this. What is beautiful about Jung’s concepts is the duality of becoming or creating each pillar through our manifesting who we are through accepting that of the darkness we each carry and the light that brings a valued balance to us each individually.
There is this underlying in becoming aware of both aspects, both sides to the yin and yang of oneself. I find it profound that Jung aimed in being accountable for that, of the darkness within and how there’s a nurturing of that in knowing it’s there. The beauty of what separates Jung’s Pillars and the other philosophies is a call to being present of that awareness. Knowing we each have good days and bad with the occasional grey day hanging over us. But the power is knowing that we each carry a negative with us and that can’t always be hidden or ignored. Better yet it is in us to react not in a recoiling of that darkness within us, but to embrace it and use the power of that darkness as a fuel to better the light. The very addressing and knowing this I feel benefits the heart and knowing life isn’t always perfect, and rarely is, but us knowing ourselves and how we react to the adverse changes show that strength and show the character in us that brings a shining toward a collected and weighed advantage that can better us, you, and all included.
All that said, the goal and intention is, yes, to share art, to share stories, but to also share a lived perspective in aiming to be the best of ourselves. With practicing in using philosophical stances with Jung’s Analytical Theory and Stoicism, I’m personally excited as I feel it will benefit and I hope I do well grasping the lessons, sharing the findings, and the collective for being our best.
As to that, I do hope you all the best I will be signing out, hope you’re excited for part two of Forget-Me-Naught.
C’est La Vie
Good night and good morning, good morning and good night. May the night the morning and the day be graceful, effortless, and beautiful. I do truly mean that and I hope you carry that to the next person you talk to. Life is too short don’t forget.
