The constellation of your birth is an ill and changing star.

C.G. Jung, from The Red Book; Liber Secundus, “The Conception of the God”

I think a lot of the stuff you post is something people read and kinda go like "oh yeah that's kinda deep and relatable" but has no substance if you gave it any more thought :(

what I post is just a door to open for more context, that's why I provide the author's credentials. of course you are not going to get the full gist taken out of context what sounds like deep and "like me". so, happy reading!

Heart alone can communicate to heart the state of the knower (of divine secrets); this is not the work of a messenger, nor can this be contained in letters. On many points I keep silent because of my inability; to state them is beyond speech, and if I say them my words would be insufficient.

Eric Hammond, The Splendour of God, 1909

all i've asked from you is you and you again
