If a man knows more than others, he becomes lonely.

Carl Jung
As a child, I felt myself alone, and I am still, because I know things and must hint at things which others apparently know nothing of, and for the most part do not want to know. Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself, or holding certain views which others find inadmissable. The loneliness began with the experiences of my early dreams and climax when I was working on my unconscious. If a man knows more than others, he becomes lonely.
But loneliness is not necessarily inimical to companionship, for no one is more sensitive to companionship than the lonely man and companionship thrives only when each individual remembers his individuality and does not identify himself with others.

Soul - this is speaking from my heart. I have always felt a close connection to CJ since 2000. It has been nearly 10 years and I bought this book in June 2001 and now after 10 years, am back to him again.
What do I want? In my career line, when I was doing Human Resource counselling/interviewing, I was happiest cos I impart on them something they didn't know before, I led them to how they can be more by being true to themselves. So, am I true to myself?
A tot came, to continue work n to take part time psychology. Take it so that I can grow internally n not be lonely, but not as a career. Can I do it? What abt d money n time? My work is quite strenuous (Another tot; is it? You have now streamline n ur work wil be easier in future. As for action plan, u r already good at it.)
Yea, how to be true when I am not willing to pay d price?
Father, calm me. Perhaps am wanting too much. Or maybe not, one of the main reason I want to marry a rich, spiritual and loving guy is that I don't have to work and I continue on my spiritual journey, jus learning and experimenting.
On isha yoga, I found it as a tool, not so keen to be their teacher.

Carl Jung
I have offended many people, for as soon as I saw that they do not understand me, that was the end of the matter so far as I was concerned. I had to move one. I had no patience with people - aside from my patients. For some people, I was continually present and close to them so long as they were related to my inner world; but then it might happen that I was no longer with them, because there was nothing left which would link me to them. I had to learn painfully that people continued to exist even when they had nothing more to say to me. Many excited in me a feeling of living humanity, but only when they appeared within the magic circle of psychology; next moment, when the spotlight is cast elsewhere, there was nothing to be seen. I was able to become intensely interested in many people, but as soon as I had seen through them, the magic was gone. In this way, I made many enemies. A creative person has little power over his own life. He is not free. He is captive and driven by his daimon. Perhaps I might say: I need people to a higher degree than others, and at the same time much less.


Soul - so much like me. I am only patient with my staff.
I who am sociable, can make acquaintance like a drop of fly, but I can count on my one hand, the few friends who I allowed to stayed with me. I found them during my early years of work, and I led them into my inner world. With the exception of an old good friend, the rest continued cos they let me explore n share my view. I am a source of knowledge, but when what I said 'hit them', they too shy away.
I know at times I should keep my mouth shut and these days I managed better cos to each its own. Even if I know where they r heading, who am I to direct them especially it is not asked.

Now I know why I dropped the CEO's PA cos she is not on the path, despite claiming to be and she has nothing more that I want to hear or share. So, I have dropped her.

Carl Jung
I am astonished, disappointed, pleased with myself. I am distressed, depressed, rapturous. I am all these things at once, and cannot add up the sum. I am incapable of determining ultimate worth or worthlessness;
I have no judgement about myself and my life.

Soul - exactly how I felt, but I judged myself cos I expect only to be rapturous. A good thing to note to accept my downturn.

Carl Jung
There is so much more that fills me; plants, animals, clouds, day and night, and the internal in man.
The more uncertain I have felt about myself, the more there has grown up in me, a feeling of kinship with all things.
In fact it seems to me as if that alienation which so long separated me from the world has become transferred into my own inner world, and has revealed to me an unexpected unfamiliarity with myself.

Soul - not sure abt that but there has been kinship wit tress I equate trees to human, but there is no judgement among them for their beauty or sizes. All is acceptable.
Recently I have taken to walking in the park and I felt energised.
