<< dear ones - that list is full of inaccuracies, i,m afraid though well

n Jews, but it has been conquered n fought over many times prev

bo: Thought it might be, seemed an awfully short time attributed to the

Arabs,

thank you for clarifying, Middle Eastern history being too painful to make a

study.

Today, i realized 2 things - all of us here are voicing strong opinions,

incl

me! n while this may be irritating, consider the alternative - not giving a

damn.

Bo: Truth! Nothing is worse than apathy.

2. i wonder wh Jung wld have said n maybe i am being too optimistic....

i bel he wld have talked of coll shadow projection n the importance of

withdrawing fr it thru consc working on our own - just one by one.

Bo: Absolutely :-)

and here we need to take the long view. in my own lifetime, i have witnessed

the most terrible foes bec friens and allies! but hist u can also think of

england/13 colonies; usa vs ussr - the evil empire [btw watched Gorbachev

this am - just great!]

<snip>

i have seen the omphalos at Delphi - the world navel n lived in Rome,

another, but grew up w/my 'proper Bostonian' relatives assuring me that

" Boston was the hub of the universe'!

Bo: <g> My uncle wasn't allowed to marry a " proper Bostonian "

by the Great Uncle . " Her family can't possibly be old enough,

they're American, so, 300 years maximum, nothing <g>, and no titles

outside of British, also, nothing, descended from of Orange, French

LOL! Thank God my father was humble and intervened for who

had a beautiful and loving marriage with Flora, who died this year.

History does indeed change perspectives vastly, look at what Chaucer,

what Dante and what we think are " sins. "

wherever we go, there we are!:}

to go back to Jung - if we hang on to the opposites, a third will come as

the

solution. how this can be applied politically is difficult to foresee - only

a great physical calamity like an earthquake cld humble us. wh Istanbul suff

the last one, Greece - their trad enemy - sent doctors n aid.

Bo: That occurred to me, that calamity would bring everyone together fast.

as Ramakrishna said: men lay sticks upon the water n think they have

divuided

it!

nuff! time for a dram
