A huge biography on Carl Jung.
The story of Jung first taking his 'Synchronicity' ideas to Freud was one that I have long enjoyed. A book curiously fell off the shelf in Freud's adjoining library, just as Jung was presenting his theories to him!

No, but I am now. It is amazing the beautiful architecture found in London. I don't know why I am amazed as it is to be expected, but I am going back even to 1100 or so. Looking at drawings of plans, etc... So exciting.

Everyday Life During the Siege of Vicksburg, Mississippi: http://berry.myweb.uga.edu/teaching/civilwar/docs/vicksburg.pdf It is what people will do to protect their homes and way of life. It must be a Scottish/Southern thing to love your home as your life. To stand up to an army of invaders to the very death. War and greed can make people do very unwise and evil deeds. I am glad we are in a civilized society now.

Some people would disagree with that last statement about our society being "civilized."

I know it is truth that society in most places is not civilized. I am trying to project into my reality, and the world's reality, that society is civilized, Utopian, even though I can see it is not. That way I am projecting positive vibes into time and space and thereby I might be in some way making the world a better place. It is a mental experiment.

Society has always been more civil inclined than not. We wouldn't have made it as far as we have as a human race...if it weren't true
