Almost Two Months: The Tao of Jung

Zoologischer Garten Station, on Pantecost Day.

The life journey through many different dimensions, meeting people, as well as facing different life situations have been influencing my life view, life paradigm. One day I hated person, for example, but later he or she has been being the person I respect more and more. One of them is Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961). He was not only a psychiatrist, a psychologist, but also a meta-physicist with wide area of interest.

Jung liked to stay alone and sat on a big stone. He usually asked himself: “Is it me who is sitting on a stone, or am I a stone on which I sit on?” This question is an analogical one by the one from Chuang-Tse, a famous Taoist, after he woke up from his dreams: “Did I dream to become butterfly or am I butterfly who dreamed to become Chuang-Tse?”

Time goes so fast, although sometimes we feel it goes very slowly. Almost two months ago when we met each other in Osnabrueck on May 5, 2008. How have you been, Friends? Do you believe that life is a path that you beat while you walk? All the best!
