I like the name of the pod ...

the

"silent temple"

is always here

when things are groovy or not so groovy

there is always the silent temple within (well it's not locatable)

always here behind and including the groovy and not so groovy times in our lives....

:O)

And this is interesting: It is not even the human race, it is the human species. And I think you are a Being. Period. So light. So free.

Hamilton, Dogji, (He be dah dog) has been talking about maintaining our will to be groovy. I am thinking ... maybe we should change Silent Temple to Groovy Temple ...

" 'Don't be an old lady with regrets.'
I never forgot those words.
PS –I have not been 100% successful ;>)"

Before my last friend died, he said, "Don't become a bitter old man." This statement has never left me, also.

"I would have loved..........being a therapist.."(You have lots of interests and talents.)
There is still time.
A few years......a degree
The years will pass anyway.

When I was 18, my wonderful doctor said this:
"Don't be an old lady with regrets".
I never forgot those words.
PS --I have not been 100% successful ;>)

Soul,

You are such a wonderful and depth-filled person, I know you would make a top-notch therapist.

You can ask me anything. I will try to answer.

I am not a therapist. After completing my 1st degree, I was going to enter a therapist program but found it was not accredited, and did not have the resources to move the family to another university. I think I would have loved being a therapist, however.

Silelent temple... I am learning counselling and have just studied Skinner, Piaget, a whole crew or theorists and theories.... it's so interesting.....Maybe if I have questions can I ask you? Or insights...Do you practice as a therapist or psychologist?

Beautiful thread...

Kevin ...
Looks like you learned something already this week :)

What about for this week... 3 insights that come....

1. That the best satsang (meeting in truth) is when you hear the sound of your own voice telling you everything is ok when you are in a situation where you used to react and suffer...and as a result you don't enter into the old habit of thought....

That's all so far....

may be more insights... may not be...

love to All

well I will take your advice and listen closely to my own intuition. =)

Hi Kevin,

I spent four years studying cognitive development and human relations. Much of this stuff is burned into my brain. During that time, I read thousands of research publications ranging a wide variety of interests, and my course work was extensive and solid. I loved that area of study! It came very easily to me. After graduating, I applied for the Department's combined Masters/PhD program but the new Department Head hated my guts for reasons unknown to me, and he banned my entrance while my supporting professors were out for the summer. This was a tragedy because I could have added much to the field. I wanted to do research, probably in Human Relations and Behavior Genetics, as well as teach on the university level. I had to regroup, and got another degree in Hydrology.

Looking back, I would have gotten PhDs in Fine Art and Philosophy/Theology. I didn't listen to my intuition. It was a big mistake.

How did gain such a deep understanding of psychology? I mean most people who major in psychology don't seem to understand it as well as you do. And the only reason I understand it as well as I do is because of my experiences in therapy. How did you get to where you are? haha.

During any cognitive stage of development, we assimilate information until it is accommodated (Jean Piaget). Although there is some continuity between stages, radical changes in consciousness occur when a lower cognitive stage is left for a higher one. In this sense, apprehension of reality is qualitative and stage-bound but increasingly inclusive and abstract as one ascends.

interesting it is an absurd world is it not or at least may seem to be people are crazy are they not but one thing is often forgotten that must be remembered when i say people are crazy i include myself how could i really be fundamentally different from others it must be only a question of degree as gurdjieff has said man is not one he is not a unity not an individual he is legion a multiplicity have you ever met an animal you could not trust even if an animal is aggressive he does not hide it you know what the case is right away animals arent cunning they dont try to portray what they are not there may be exceptions but in general its true enuff is it not funny world where animals are honest and human beings are liars but such is our predicament and we must make some sense of it or continue to suffer it to make some sense perhaps even complete sense of the apparent absurdity disorder and chaos who is up to the task love
