getting by

getting by is a bitch knowing what you need to do in order to deal with life in your terms. learning and keeping cool is helping this, soon decision are to be made. just waiting for my break, i just need something small to start with.

car crash

i just smashed the car, came out of it alive.... thank god or fuck god????? i don t know but i am tired of everything....

Evolution

Evolution (also known as biological, genetic or organic evolution) is the change in the inherited traits of a population of organisms through successive generations.^[1] This change results from interactions between processes that introduce variation
into a population, and other processes that remove it. As a result,
variants with particular traits become more, or less, common. A trait is
a particular characteristic—anatomical, biochemical or behavioural—that is the result of gene–environment interaction.

The main source of variation is mutation, which introduces genetic changes. These changes are heritable (can be passed on through reproduction), and may give rise to alternative traits in organisms. Another source of variation is genetic recombination,
which shuffles the genes into new combinations which can result in
organisms exhibiting different traits. Under certain circumstances,
variation can also be increased by the transfer of genes between species,^[2][3] and by the extremely rare, but significant, wholesale incorporation of genomes through endosymbiosis.^[4][5]

Two main processes cause variants to become more common or rarer in a population. One is natural selection,
through which traits that aid survival and reproduction become more
common, while traits that hinder survival and reproduction become rarer.
Natural selection occurs because only a small proportion of individuals
in each generation will survive and reproduce, since resources are
limited and organisms produce many more offspring than their environment
can support. Over many generations, heritable variation in traits is
filtered by natural selection and the beneficial changes are
successively retained through differential survival and reproduction.
This iterative process adjusts traits so they become better suited to an organism's environment: these adjustments are called adaptations.^[6]

However, not all change is adaptive. Another cause of evolution is genetic drift,
which leads to random changes in how common traits are in a population.
Genetic drift is most important when traits do not strongly influence
survival—particularly so in small populations, in which chance plays a
disproportionate role in the frequency of traits passed on to the next
generation.^[7][8] Genetic drift is important in the neutral theory of molecular evolution, and plays a role in the molecular clocks that are used in phylogenetic studies.

A key process in evolution is speciation, in which a single ancestral species splits
and diversifies into multiple new species. There are several modes
through which this occurs. Ultimately, all living (and extinct) species
are descended from a common ancestor via a long series of speciation
events. These events stretch back in a diverse "tree of life" which has grown over the 3.5 billion years during which life has existed on Earth.^{[9][10][11][12]} This is visible in anatomical, genetic and other similarities between groups of organisms, geographical distribution of related species, the fossil record and the recorded genetic changes in living organisms over many generations.

Dream

Dreams are a succession of images, sounds or emotions that pass through the mind during sleep.^[1]
The content and purpose of dreams are not fully understood, though they
have been a topic of speculation and interest throughout recorded
history. The scientific study of dreams is known as oneirology.

Archetype

Jungian archetypes

Main article: Jungian archetypes

The concept of psychological archetypes was advanced by the Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung,
c. 1919. In Jung's psychological framework archetypes are innate,
universal prototypes for ideas and may be used to interpret
observations. A group of memories and interpretations associated with an
archetype is a complex,
e.g. a mother complex associated with the mother archetype. Jung
treated the archetypes as psychological organs, analogous to physical
ones in that both are morphological constructs that arose through evolution.^[6]

Jung outlined five main archetypes;

• The Self, the regulating center of the psyche and facilitator of individuation
• The Shadow, the opposite of the ego image, often containing qualities with which the ego does not identify, but which it possesses nonetheless
• The Anima, the feminine image in a man's psyche; or:
• The Animus, the masculine image in a woman's psyche
• The Persona, how we present to the world, is another of 'the subpersonalities, the complexes'^[7] and usually protects the Ego from negative images (acts like a mask)

Although archetypes can take on innumerable forms, there are a few particularly notable, recurring archetypal images^{[citation needed]}:

• The Child
• The Hero
• The Great Mother
• The Wise old man or Sage
• The Wise Old Woman/Man, archetypes of the collective unconscious
• The Trickster or Fox
• The Devil or Satan
• The Scarecrow
• The Mentor

Jung also outlined what he called archetypes of transformation.
Not personality constructs, they are situations, places, ways and means
that symbolize the transformation in question (CW9i:81). These
archetypes exist primarily as energy - and are useful in organizational
development, personal and organizational change management, and
extensively used in place branding. As with any archetype, image takes
priority over language. In a personal exploration of the Self,
archetypes play an important role in the process of individuation.

Note: any references to the works of Carl Gustav Jung are made
through the 20 volumes of the Collected Works (CW). The references may
be checked by first obtaining the volume number (example CW9i which is
The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious). The second reference
number will always refer to a paragraph number (example 81) - thus
CW9i:81. Jung may be the only theorist whose work is quoted by paragraph
numbers.

Cosmic consciousness

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

(Redirected from Superconsciousness)

Cosmic consciousness is the concept that the universe exists as an interconnected network of consciousness, with each conscious being linked to every other. Sometimes this is conceived as forming a collective consciousness which spans the cosmos,^[1] othertimes it is conceived of as an Absolute or Godhead
from which all conscious beings emanate. Throughout history, there have
been many renditions of universal unity, connectivity, and the spectrum
of considered possibility of mankind. The idea bears similarity to the
ancient Buddhist concept of Indra's net, Teilhard de Chardin's conception of the noosphere, James Lovelock's Gaia theory, to Hegel's Absolute idealism, Satori in Zen^[2], and to some traditional pantheist beliefs. It is also reminiscent of Carl Jung's collective unconscious^[3]. Many of those who have used psychedelics such as LSD and Psilocybin mushrooms have asserted that they have had direct experience of the cosmic consciousness,^[4]
although some have suggested that naturally occurring mystical
experiences and those induced by psychedelics are of a different nature.^[5] In the 19th century, Canadian psychiatrist Richard M. Bucke developed a theory which claimed that Cosmic Consciousness lies in a mystic state above and beyond Self-consciousness, the natural state of man's consciousness, just like animal consciousness lies below.^[6] In the 20th century, Canadian born psychologist Nathaniel Branden,
originator of Bio-Centric Psychology, stipulated that as life advances
from simplicity to complexity, consciousness evolves from the vegetative
through the animal to the natural human condition of
self-consciousness.^[7]
