I think you are missing the point about my Jungian exegesis here, VVilliam, and I do think your point is not valid in the slightest. Okay… VVilliam pokes at the fire and ponders upon what Summerlander tells him...and he reaches into the depths of his Cloak, he withdraws his Journal Experience Tablet. Activating the JET, he then places the word "okay" through the word-value algorithm and adds the result to his data-base...he then reads the results aloud, looking up from the screen and observing for any reaction from summerlander, after saying each word Earth Yes. There it is...VVilliam is not surprised Six Heart VViliam thinks of the six heart virtues...Wingmakers are never far from the action... What Now Nods VVilliam wonders if something similar might be what Job said to his God Okay... Create Form Ship Some Speak Elohai Abracadabra VVilliam thinks of the meme "I'm not saying it was Aliens" and smiles to himself...he looks up at the night sky and feels like he is sharing in a rather elaborate - well concealed - cosmic prank... I don't see the Biblical parables as objective realities, I see them as psychological events. VVilliam wonders if Summerlander is taking the micky with his remark re "psychological events" He searches for meaning in the word and gets two hits. One reads "of, affecting, or arising in the mind; related to the mental and emotional state of a person." and the other "(of an ailment or problem) having a mental rather than a physical cause." He finds the Word-Value and adds it to the list. Possible Clues...

VVilliam continues to do Word-Values as Summerlander talks. The results are interesting. A drop of consciousness in an ocean of tears Just being a good person isn't sufficient He matured from a phase where he thought just being good before an invisible/imaginary heavenly father would be enough to impress to a more realistic and pragmatic outlook about the world where the goods to be reaped from the land aren't going to sow themselves, so to speak—and he was happier for it as evidenced by the tenfold prosperity that unraveled post-realisation. His experience precisely made him develop a thicker skin after the calamitous events (proverbially, Satan's input) in his life and he only got 'closer to God' in the sense that he improved his relationship with the world around him (as it is said, 'God is everywhere'). Summerlander pauses and VVilliam takes the opportunity to speak. VVilliam: Job realizes the God is real but not in the way he had previously imagined. Perhaps Job realized that The God he was interacting with, was the planet itself? Or perhaps only we in today’s world can really get a bead on that, since we now have pictures of the planet, from a spaceman’s perspective. In reality the journey continues because none of us really know The God sufficiently outside of our own imaginations. At least the Earth is real enough – never to mind the rest of the universe… I see that you've smuggled in 'lack of empathy' as if it's anywhere near the same ballpark as 'developing a thick skin'—it isn't.

In fact, many serial killers exhibit religious beliefs and yet lack empathy for everybody else. Ancient Grey Entity If In Doubt Let It Sit Nazi Space Program Agenda Independent from what? Conspiracy theory Monkey See Monkey Do When things fall apart The Undiscovered Self 'Developing a thick skin' Do you honestly believe that all atheists necessarily lack empathy and that they are all crying at the prospect of death being final? VVilliam clears his throat and then answers. VVilliam: I honestly do not know what all atheists are doing…the ones I have met seem to be as unique to their own sense of self as all the non-atheists are. Identify any ‘atheist’ in the story? Certainly not The Devil! More calculations - additional data Anticipating that this will prove to be helpful to the science Perhaps we can deconstruct some of these pernicious views. Identify any ‘atheist’ in the story? Certainly not The Devil! Bearing in mind what happened to Job, I'd like you to picture such scenario happening to you, only you discover that the disease you've been infected with and the torture and murder of some of the people you love and care about were the result of a bet that your father had with some nefarious agent. You confront your father and demand answers only to hear him say that you weren't around when he made a home for you and your siblings and that you are not wise enough to comprehend his actions. Would you bow down to your father and call his actions caring? VVilliam doesn't hesitate with answering summerlanders question. VVilliam: I would respect his position immensely and bow to that – the 'bowing' would be symbolized within the actions of showing respect. I would also have further questions... Questions as such a Son might be permitted to ask and be graced with answers. What is a poor boy to do, faced with such factuality? I might also ask “how thick do you want my skin to be?” but would be smiling as I did so… VVilliam places another log on the fire and takes a sip of his cooled-down brew. Then he taps on his tablet screen, busy adding results to his JET. Love Life Pyramid Being Born Respect Tricky Symbol Compass An Elder Race Stone Age Integral ...of said agenda... Lift your gaze from the fire The Human Form as a Means to an End Memorandum of Understanding ...but would be smiling as I did so… Reminding one of how it all started and the different stages one goes through. Questions as such a Son might be permitted to ask and be graced with answers Somewhere in the small grove of trees, Te Ruru calls...and the sound brings a smile to VVilliams thick-skined face... I think you are missing the point about my Jungian exegesis here, VVilliam, and I do think your point is not valid in the slightest. ----------------------------------------------------------------- The point I am focused upon is at the very center of the Mandala, summerlander.

I'm in a medieval fantasy world much reminiscent of Oblivion or Skyrim. I see one guy, wearing oddly modern clothes, mindlessly shuffling around. He looks and acts like a zombie, but no one cares. He's being used for manual labor, or something. A bit later, I've climbed a steep rock wall and I'm hanging off the side (Assassin's Creed style), looking out over what I know to be the edge of the map. I wonder what's beyond it. I reach a kind of mineshaft, or cave. My dad is suddenly with me. We're assaulted by giant spiders the size of a large dog. We make a run for it through the tunnel, and emerge on the other side. We exit into a grassy clearing, with a large, imposing forest right in front of us. The forest is full, and I mean FULL of giant spiderwebs. And of course spiders. I'm like "no way", but my dad is like "we can do it, let's go" so I have no choice but to follow him in. Somehow, we get through, because in the next scene I recall, we've reached the world beyond the mountains and the spider forest. No one was ever supposed to get this far. To our surprise and horror, it's the modern world. We're in a modern city, clearly abandoned a century or more ago. The sky is overcast and depressing. Everything is covered in rust and dust, and in a state of falling apart. I recognize one of the ruined cars as a Renault 5. Then, we find someone. A worker wearing a fluorescent jacket. He just mindlessly shuffles back and forth, seemingly aware of us, or anything else. We continue exploring, until my dad starts acting strange. He asks things like "how did we get here", and other things he should really know. Like he's having memory loss. Suddenly, I realize the truth of this place. A hundred+ years ago, something happened, some substance was released into the atmosphere (or some kind of radiation) that gradually sapped people of their intelligence - inducing amnesia, dementia and finally a vegetative zombie-like state (though they aren't cannibals). Society fell apart without the people there to maintain it. Somehow, "Skyrim valley" (the fantasy world we'd traveled from) was a special place shielded from this effect. The guy wearing modern clothes I saw in the fantasy world was probably a guy from here, who somehow crossed over like we did. I desperately try to explain this to my dad, who is getting increasingly confused as time goes by.
