Olin’s semester is nearing done, so I have more to do, but things are a lot clearer, so I feel like I have more free time. Two thoughts:
Milton Erickson is a genius. My Voice will Go with You is meme central. It’s a collection of stories designed to be told to therapists to make them better therapists, and for them to tell to patients to make them better people. That is, every story has a layer for each of the conscious and unconscious minds of each of the therapist and her future patients. Erickson thought that the most powerful stories were the ones you forgot. (Since my last writing I’ve gotten deep into hypnosis.)
I’m also reconsidering my intentions for LiveJournal. I want to start using it as a means of communication. Be Here Now says that at every moment we are a complete statement of our whole selves. To know myself as a being in time (my original goal for my Journal), it may be enough to know what I want to say, and to have a forum of friends for saying those truths, or loves, or fears, uncensored. I want my LiveJournal to be that.
