Do Brazilians Look White

ACiDPoP! - Jung and EMI.

In early 1944, Carl Jung had a heart attack. He recounted in his autobiography the "delusions and visions" he had so ...


His course has many similarities with the descriptions of E M I. Check This Out!

"They must have started when in danger of death, we administered them of oxygen and camphor. The images had such violence that I find myself that I was near death. (...) Anyway, very strange things for me began to unfold.


I thought I was high in the cosmic space. Although far- Below me I saw the ball land bathed in a wonderful blue light. I saw the deep blue sea and continents (...) I knew I was leaving the earth. Later, I looked and I asked how far from the earth should be in the area to embrace a view on such a scale: about 1500 kilometers! (...)



Something new entered my field of vision. At a short distance, I saw in space a huge block of stone, dark like a meteorite, roughly the size of a house, maybe bigger. (...) An entrance gave access to a small vestibule, right on a stone bench, a dark-skinned Indian was sitting in the lotus position, completely relaxed, perfect rest, he wore a white robe. Two steps led to the vestibule from the inside, left, opened the gate of the temple (...)

When I approached the steps by which one reached the rock, I felt a very strange feeling: everything that had previously been away from me. All I thought, wanted or thought, the whole phantasmagoria of earthly existence stood out to me or ripped myself, painful process to the extreme. But something remained, because I seemed so close to me, everything I had experienced or done, everything that took place around me. I might as well say it was near me and I was it, all of which somehow composed myself. I did my history and I was sure that was me. (...) This event gave me the impression of extreme poverty, but at the same time from one extreme satisfaction. I had nothing to want, or desire; I might say, objective, I was what I lived. (...) No more regret that something had gone or removed. On the contrary: I had everything I was and I did that. I had

yet another concern: while I approached the temple, I was certain to arrive in a place of meeting and informed the group that I belong in human reality. Now I finally understand - this too was a certainty for me - how I fell historical relationship, me or my life. I would know what was before me, why I became what I am and what my life to continue to flow.

(...) While I was meditating on all this, one fact caught my attention: from below, from Europe, an image arose: was my doctor, or rather its image, surrounded by a chain gold or a golden crown of laurels. I say once: "Hey! The doctor who treated me!"

(...) When he came before me, hovering like an image born of the depths, it happened between us a silent transmission of mind. My doctor had in fact been delegated by the earth to bring me a message: there protested against my departure. I was not allowed to leave the land and had to go back. When I received this message, the vision disappeared.

I was disappointed in the extreme, and now everything seemed to have been in vain. The painful process "The stripper" was unnecessary: he had not allowed into the temple or to meet the men among whom I belonged.


(...) In reality, he spent another three good weeks before I could bring myself to relive, I could not feed myself, I felt disgust for all dishes. The spectacle of the city and mountains that I saw from my sick bed seemed like a painted curtain with holes or black hole in a sheet of newspaper, full of photographs that tell me nothing. Disappointed, I thought: "Now I go back into the system of boxes! "He seemed in fact that behind the horizon of the cosmos we had built an artificial three-dimensional world in which every human being was in a single tray. And now, I would convince me again it had some value! life and the world seemed to me like a prison and I annoyed to think that I would find it all in order. That one was encouraged that he felt stripped of everything and already, it was again as if I - and all other men - the son suspended in a box. When I was in space without gravity and nothing could get me. And now that that was the end of it all. "
followed a period when alternated phases of depression and superb night visions, which Jung said that they were what he lived for most prodigious "After the disease began for me a fertile period of work. Many of my major works were written not after. Knowledge or intuition of the end of all things gave me the courage to seek new forms of expression. (...)
My illness had other repercussions: it consisted, I might say, an acceptance of being an unconditional "yes" to what is, without objection subjective, into an acceptance of the conditions of existence, as I see them, as I understand them; acceptance of my being just as it is. "
