What, Are You Nuts?




Poet Robert Bly once said during a reading that "If you don't read Carl Jung every day, you're . . . nuts!"

I just spent some time doing a pearl dive in the "Techniques, Tips and Tools" area, going back 3 or 4 years for what I was looking for, and even though I was around the Forum during the posting of most of that material, I'm just stunned to have seen again how many dozens and dozens of subjects have been discussed, from the perspective of so many practitioners and professionals with so much to offer.

Other areas throughout the Forum have their own valuable archives, as well.

Unless you enjoy re-inventing the wheel, posing questions that have already been thoroughly explored many times over, or just ignoring good advice, you would do well to make a regular excursion through these materials, which are literally an art degree program in an e-book. (Plus, we have jokes and cartoons.)

And if you don't do it, and often, then yes, you're nuts. That's a fact, and not just my opinion (so don't waste time getting a second opinion!)
