  For the lovers of Jung and synchronicity - yesterday's experience

  by TheOldHippie in

  one, synchronicity.

  totally amateurishly explained, it means something like acausal meaningful coincidence.

  to make an example rewritten from jung, a woman tells him about her dream of a foreign special type of beetle.

  i have fed a number of birds regularly thru winter, and among the species were some doves.

  this spring, two of them took a liking for each other and teamed up.

  for a couple of weeks, extensive construction work was jointly done and resulted in a nice little nest, undoubtedly a cosy home for the small family which expected to multiply.

  Just a little note now that Nelson Mandela's will is read

  nelson mandela shared with his first wife, evelyn, a passionate commitment to a cause.

  evelyn, who has died aged 82, was a jehovah's witness with no interest in politics.. as mandela wrote in his autobiography, long walk to freedom: "when i would tell her that i was serving the nation, she would reply that serving god was above serving the nation.

  a man and woman who hold such different views of their respective roles in life cannot remain close.

  Famine 1975! - or Famine 2050?

  by TheOldHippie in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i remember the quotes from the "famine 1975!

  " book in the truth book from 68, and the impression of that period, that a major breakdown in the worlds ability to feed the billions would or could happen because of nature catastrophes, water shortage etc.

  when i read articles today, not sensational articles but summaries of scientific reports on the greenhouse effect, climate change, disappearance of species and their importance for the food chain etc.

  probe of fatal toyota crash in southlake 'inconclusive'.

  posted on january 27, 2010 at 4:20 pm.

  southlake neighbors heard the noise, but only one person witnessed what happened last month when a blue toyota avalon raced through a stop sign at more than 45 mph, blasted through a pipe fence, and overturned in a pond six feet deep at lonesome dove road and burney lane.. "she did not see a driver behind the wheel just before it crashed," the investigator wrote after interviewing the woman who saw the accident.. details of that deadly december day make up southlake police department's 87-page report obtained by news 8 on wednesday.. two witnesses went in first, followed by police, the report stated.

  home circumcision of 4-year-old ends in conviction.. source: cbc newsposted: 10/16/09 12:38pmfiled under: canadaa vancouver-area father has been found guilty of negligence causing bodily harm after botching a home-circumcision attempt on his four-year-old son as part of a spiritual quest to make things right with god.. the bizarre case centred on a battle over the religious freedoms of the former jehovah's witness, who was trying to follow a literal interpretation of the bible after a series of misfortunes hit his family.. during the trial, the b.c.

  supreme court heard that after a bad motorcycle accident in 2002 left both the man and his wife with brain injuries, he began the religious quest that eventually led him to believe that both he and son needed to be circumcised to celebrate passover.. the man, identified only as d.j.w.

  to protect the identity of his son, began researching home circumcision on the internet and in the bible, and by listening to a radio show.. his first attempt to circumcise himself ended up with his foreskin turning black and only part of it cut off.
