[brb-on-a-quest]

#excuse me while I go research Jungian archetypes

no no (i mean yes please do) but allow me to infodump while i procrastinate doing actual work for that class lmaooo

So carl Gustav Jung was one of Freud's contemporaries and they were like best buds but then Freud was like "oh no my bff disagreed with me a little bit on psychosexual development and like other things and we are no longer friends and i'm leaving our psychological club that i wanted him president for" (drama king much?) (ok so it was a little bit different, exaggerations for dramatic effect so i remember this bear with me). So Carl Gustav Jung was like Augh. Fine I'll go off and Do My Own Thing then.

So a lot of his concepts of how the human person works is somewhat similar to freud (he uses a lot of the same terms unfortunately so I've taken to spelling the ones that are specifically Jung's with a J in front so its now the Junconscious, bear with me). So the Junconscious(tm) is split into two parts, one that is our Jpersonal Junconscious that is very similar to freud's in that that's where all our repressed memories and stuff goes, but there's also the Jcollective Junconscious.

The short story of the Jcollective Junconsciousness this is that basically unlike what some people think, we aren't born as a blank slate and we get all our information into our experiences but rather we get an inherited information template that is the foundation for our sensory experience to fill in the details. it's like we're born with the a very sketchy image of the world but as we develop, we color in the sketch and paint it our own very vivid experience but we all get the same initial sketch. this is where you'll find archetypes of The Mother(tm) so everyone at birth has a concept of what A Mother Is and as we grow older and more experienced to our mothers we know that "oh mothers are caring, mothers love me unconditionally OR mothers don't love me, they're volatile or <insert your own perceptions of mothers here>."

The ones that i had initially mentioned are 5 archetypes of the self so they are like the four components that everyone actually has (Animus/Anima are actually kind of the same thing). But again they're like templates of what we consider to be personality components that get filled in as we get more actual Social Exp (yay!). I'm going to go through them because This Is How I Will Learn This.

It's easier to understand (at least for me) as opposites so they kind of frame each other.

so we begin with the Persona. Persona is like a mask, it's a conglomerations of all the traits and stuff that we think are acceptable to society. it comes from the greek word for like the masks they have in the theater departments yk that tragiccomedy masks? bombass name imo).

The foil of the Persona is the Shadow. The shadow is where we stuff all of the traits of ourselves that aren't necessarily deemed acceptable for society. This is not to say the Shadow is evil, the persona is good. Jung actually thought we should get in touch with our shadow to add more depth to our Persona because if you spend too much time making yourself into bite size pieces for society to handle, you're really a superficial person and that's not helpful. That's not to say the Shadow is your True Self either because it's not but there's a process of engaging with it in a Healthy Way to make you a complete Person. Like idk best example I can come with is You Have A person with a dark sense of humor. Not everyone's going to appreciate having a dark sense of humor, but if you don't engage with your dark sense of humor sometimes you come across as feeling very fake or like you're putting on a front and not saying what you're actually thinking (?) Am i making less sense? point that im trying to make is Persona =/= angelic in Jung's eyes and The Shadow =/= sin automatically yk?

We move on. The Anima/Animus are grouped together and this is where Jung is rather Progressive for His time (really surprising actually considering how much time he spent with stupid Freud). But he believed that each human being had some elements of the other gender that they needed to learn from. Like men have a certain amount of femininity (think like sensitivity or empatheticness) and women have a certain amount of masculinity that they also needed to embody (logicness and i forget what the other term was, probably like directness or something). Basically what he's saying is "men are allowed to be sensitive and empathetic and women are allowed to be logical and direct" which yk. pretty mindblowing stuff for a culture that was very insistent on gender roles. JP2 was actually someone who was also talking about something similar by saying something to the effect of there's lessons we can only learn by watching the other gender something something" (my notes get very vauge and my professor does not use powerpoints unfortunately).

And then Finally we Have The True Self. And the way I am remembering this because I'm thinking of the self As The Avatar (only the master of all four archetypes can save the world) because that's kind of what Jung wanted. in order become most intune with ourself we had to get in touch and become aware of our masks, our shadows, and our "other gender" traits that are inherent within us to become the self. Idk I don't really have a clear definition.

Top 5 Character Archetypes. Go.

I'll be so frfr rn we just learned about jungian archetypes and I thought that's what you meant and I was like (there are only 5 of them? Side note pretty sure there are maybe more than 5 but I only need to know 5 but as a bonus content it's: self, persona, animus, shadow, anima

Top 5 character archetypes

How the Greeks of India Taught Astronomy to the World

I think Indians were expert in Astronomy ,the Vedic havans or homa were based on accurate movement of planets.There was no need or reason for indian to develop astrology ,they lived in present and astrology was actually astronomy to have havans or homas at accurate celestial time.

Is their any mention of astrology or charts by any Upanishadic text or Buddhist literature or even Arthashastra .

Arthashastra was statecraft,does it mention that days be regulated on the basis of planets and their movements!.Never.

Leo New Moon Horoscopes Tarotscopes | Aug. 16, 2023 | Joshua the Psychic

"New moon horoscopy" likely refers to the practice of interpreting horoscopes specifically based on the new moon phase. In astrology, the new moon is often considered a time for new beginnings, setting intentions, and planning for the future. As such, some astrologers create horoscopes that focus on the energies and themes associated with the new moon.

🔮 izzie @ cleo

once she’s properly conveyed a look that communicates her stance that fortune-telling is beneath her, cleo takes the cup from izzie without much other fuss. in truth, the more izzie visits, the more cleo finds her rules being tested. she had sworn off a plethora of practices she thought too rudimentary for her esteemed shop, yet these days -- if it would make izzie happy -- she’s swift to dust off the tortoise shells and dragon bones.

hell, if izzie asked, cleo would even do the ridiculous raven horoscopy, letting a circle of ravens pluck tarot cards from the air to tell her fortune.

thankfully, she isn’t asking for such pageantry today. as cleo tilts the empty cup to read the tea leaves, she raises a brow at izzie. ❝ you could do this too, you know. it isn’t difficult. ❞ behind the condescension hides a shameful hope that izzie would ask her to teach her.

those thoughts go out the window when cleo notices how striking the symbol is. most images in the teacup tend to be hazy, the leaves speckled more evenly throughout the porcelain. yet here, cleo can see the shape plainly, as if some artisan had purposefully arranged them for some special celebration. 

it’s a gardenia, a symbol of untold love. 

but for who? there’s an ache in her chest all of a sudden, knowing it wouldn’t be her. it couldn’t be. there were rumors amongst the gentry that cleo had sold her heart for her skill in witchery, and she could not produce the proof to refute them. she knows the way she appears: powerful, cruel, unloveable. why would izzie choose her, when surely every eligible man and woman in town would clamor for her hand? she would pick someone kinder than one who lifts their nose at the idea of reading tea leaves, and cleo could not blame her. she curses herself. 

terrified to hear of some charming suitor from town, cleo lies.  ❝ it’s a sturgeon, ❞ she looks up from the cup at last with an uncharacteristically polite smile. ❝ it means good news to come. ❞ cleo points to the clean space between the leaves, trying to distract herself. ❝ if there were more leaves here, it would mean the news will not come for a while, but it seems quite imminent. ❞

Visit ENT: how it works?

The ENT, better known as an otolaryngologist, is a doctor who takes care of the ear, nose, and throat. Here are the steps a visit to an ENT usually involves.

The ENT visit allows you to diagnose ear, nose, and throat diseases. It is carried out in the clinic by a specialist ENT Surgeon in Thane, an otorhinolaryngologist or ENT. In most cases, you undergo this visit on the advice of your general practitioner when persistent symptoms indicate a connection with the ears, nose, and throat. For example, when after a bad cold, the earache persists. Furthermore, if the patient has already been diagnosed with a pathology that affects the indicated areas, the ENT visit helps to monitor the evolution of the pathology and the effectiveness of the therapy.

The patient can make an appointment with the Best ENT Surgeon in Thane either privately or through a referral from the doctor. In this second case, it is important to bring the document and all the reports or analyzes that may be useful to you. A visit does not require any particular preparation, and after the tests, the patient is perfectly able to return home independently.

But how does an ENT visit work?

Vision begins with the patient's history. The Ent Doctor in Thane will study your medical history and ask you questions about your lifestyle: eating habits, type of work, physical conditions, drug intake, alcohol consumption, and smoking habit.

Subsequently, he will submit it to a series of tests and checks:

laryngoscopy

horoscopy

rhinoscopy

audiometry

impedinzometry

vestibular examination

Laringoscopia

It is used to check the health of the oral cavity and larynx. Thanks to a small mirror that is introduced into the mouth, the specialist checks that there are no signs of infection, pus, or enlarged larynx. In cases of vocal cord or swallowing problems, fibrolaryngoscopy can be performed, i.e., the inspection of the respiratory airways through a thin tube equipped with a micro camera.

Otoscopy

It is used to check the health of the eardrum and the ear canal. The ENT uses the otoscope, an instrument that illuminates the eardrum and allows a clear view thanks to a 3x magnifying glass. In some cases, the presence of earwax can make the exam difficult. The doctor then provides ear irrigation, i.e., washing with warm water to remove the earwax. In case of serious problems, he can help you with Ear Surgery in Thane.

Rhinoscopy

It serves to verify that there are no problems with the nose and nasopharynx, both at a pathological and physiological level, and need for any type of Nose Surgery in Thane.

Vestibular examination

It serves to evaluate the sense of balance and consists of two phases. During the first stage, the patient wears a pair of special lenses that allow the ENT to detect even the smallest trace of nystagmus. However, the ear is stimulated with water at different temperatures during the second phase. The exam lasts about 30 minutes and is only sometimes included in the ENT visit.
