Michael: you a psychologist

realize2actualize: something like this

realize2actualize: naturally trained though

Michael: nice..

Michael: you do therapy

realize2actualize: all the time

realize2actualize: so, what can I do for you?

Michael: just wanted to know, what therapy you follow

realize2actualize: I don't follow any kind of particular therapy

realize2actualize: common sense therapy maybe, some aspect of gestalt, talk therapy... but basically it
                            is based upon the assumption that we all have the need to express and share  
                            ourselves, to be listened to, to relate ourselves

Michael: you heard of logotherapy

realize2actualize: oh yes

realize2actualize: Victor Frankl

realize2actualize: very much so

Michael: he's awesome

realize2actualize: yes, he sure is

realize2actualize: amazing what he has endured, and yet, developed this outlook

Michael: very humanistic theory

realize2actualize: that nobody can this, our last freedom, the freedom to think, to have goal, and to
                            believe in this goal so much that no suffering can take this  away from you, and as
                            he said, if you have a "what" to live for you can deal with almost any "how"

Michael: you read any Jung?

realize2actualize: yes, of course

realize2actualize: I studied the best of them all and extrapolated the wisdom contained in different  
                           works from different authors and psychologists

Michael: which works did you like of Jung

realize2actualize: I don't want to take time now to talk about specific books

realize2actualize: I rather would like to know what it is you seek in like, and what it is you seek from
                            talking to me. Sorry to be that direct, but I rather like to cut directly to the case as
                            time is a very important commodity to me, as in life

Michael: just data

realize2actualize: sorry then

Michael: so you follow any religions

realize2actualize: no

realize2actualize: < freethinker

Michael: no higher power

realize2actualize: religion can be a a dangerous thing

realize2actualize: within ourselves

realize2actualize: the higher power

Michael: when used by the wrong man

realize2actualize: not outside of us

realize2actualize: we all have this power

Michael: so you agree with the existentialists

realize2actualize: are connect through it

realize2actualize: I somewhat agree with everyone

realize2actualize: since I have come to realize that life is not about what you agree with, or even what
                            you like, but rather that all those ideas and opinions and human emotions and values
                            and virtues and vices all make up the world
realize2actualize: we have power to create ourselves

realize2actualize: the question of how we human beings and this planet came into being concerns me
                            less

Michael: agreed, to some degree.. i feel we are more like objects to be interrogated

realize2actualize: I am more concerned with how we use our powers while alive

Michael: nice insight

realize2actualize: thing is, we are subject, and we have to learn as such

realize2actualize: thanks

realize2actualize: Erich Fromm

realize2actualize: name sounds familiar?

Michael: yes

realize2actualize: he is my main teacher

Michael: ive heard he has some good works, haven't dove into him

realize2actualize: his work has inspired me greatly

realize2actualize: more than anybody else I presume

Michael: so what do you think of the collective unconscious

realize2actualize: I am sure that it is going to be a great experience
realize2actualize: it very much exists

realize2actualize: what level we humans think on, what level we exist on

realize2actualize: but you talk about the unconscious

realize2actualize: well

realize2actualize: I think everything

realize2actualize: begins within ourselves

realize2actualize: how we think, how we live, how well we are in tune with ourselves and others, or how
                            removed and separated we are

Michael: the world implies a perceiver

realize2actualize: we all are that

realize2actualize: since we all perceive

realize2actualize: and our perception create our reality

Michael: yes
