Somewhere in the writings of Swami Vivekananda, a beautiful anecdote is told about his own teacher Shri Ramakrishna, who had been accused of insanity. So far from defending himself against this slur, he agreed, adding however: "Of course I am insane. So are you! and everybody else! The only difference betweeen our insanities is that I am mad about God. It is the only thing I care about. You are mad about money, sex, possessions, prestige, etc. Mine is a divine insanity. What is yours? And which of the two do you really believe is best?

on se zbláznil z osamění....aha, tak to jsem tu knihu i film asi pochopil jinak :-)

CRS: Ten scénář psal Kubrick na základě stejnojmenného románu od Stephena Kinga, byly vněm drobné úpravy oproti knižní předloze, ale konkrétně psychologický vývoj postav se knihy celkem drží.

Taková špetka pátečního hnidopišství ;)

Když psal Stanley Kubrick scénář k filmu Osvícení, dospěl k závěru, že se hlavní postava, Jack, během několika měsíců v odloučení od ostatních, jen se svojí rodinou, z toho osamění musí zbláznit.
My jsme plus minus v jeho situaci už rok a držíme se. To mi, v dnešním šíleném světě, přijde jako dobrá zpráva.

Look for the flower to bloom in the silence that follows the storm, not till then. It shall grow, it will shoot up, it will make branches and leaves and form buds, while the storm continues, while the battle lasts. But not till the whole personality of the man is dissolved and melted - not until it is held by the divine fragment which has created it, as a mere subject for grave experiment and experience - not until the whole nature has yielded and become subject unto its higher Self, can the bloom open. Then will come a calm such as comes in a tropical country after the heavy rain, when Nature works so swiftly that one may see her action. And in the deep silence the mysterious event will occur which will prove that the way has been found. Call it by what name you will, it is a voice that speaks where there is none to speak - it is a messenger that comes, a messenger without form or substance, or it is the flower of the soul that opened.

(Mabel Collins - The Light on the Path)

"Magical practices are the projections of psychic events which, in cases like these, exert a counter-influence on the soul, and act like a kind of enchantment of one´s own personality. That is to say, by means of these concrete performances, the attention or better said the interest is brought back to an inner sacred domain which is the source and goal of the soul. This inner domain contains the unity of life and consciousness which, though once possessed, has been lost and must now be found again."

(C. G. Jung - The Secret of the Golden Flower)

It is impossible to escape the impression that people commonly use false standards of measurement. That they seek power, success, and wealth for themselves, and admire them in others. And that they underestimate what is of true value in life. (Sigmund Freud - Civilisation and Its Discontents)

Consistency is a dance on the razor. (Dušan Trajkovič)

“The best political, social, and spiritual work we can do is to withdraw the projection of our shadow onto others.” ― C.G. Jung.

MTO:

“To Jung, the psyche is analogous to the concept of the soul, which is an entity in of itself. Jung argued that thoughts and emotions, although such feelings may seem like our own, are entities of themselves…‘From my experience with unconscious phenomena I must even admit that what we call thoughts or emotions could be in a way independent psychic agencies of which we perceive only their psychological aspect, but not their potential physical nature’”
