Visualisation and Visioning

"Visualizing is a mental process governed by the reasoning or conscious mind; visioning is a spiritual process, governed by intuition, or the superconscious mind. The student should train his mind to receive these flashes of inspiration, and work out the "divine pictures," through definite leads.".

"Man should make an art of thinking. The Master Thinker is an artist, and is careful to paint only the divine designs upon the canvas of his mind; and he paints these pictures with masterly strokes of power and decision, having perfect faith that there is no power to mar their perfection, and that they shall manifest in his life, the ideal made real."

From: "The Game of Life and How to play It" (1925) by Florence Scovel Shinn.

Questions

"There is an answer to every question, as long as the question is of no significance or if it is idiotic.

The real question has no answer."

"De Bello Civili / Civil War Within" by S. Basara, translated by Randall A. Major (1998)

Variation on a Lighthouse by Ida O'Keeffe

A magnificent work of Ida O'Keeffe, Georgia's sister.

Ida presented variations of Light House; just like You can be light to different people in different situations in this life.

I prefer Variation on a Lighthouse Theme VII.

You can see more of it here.

Psychiatry, Psychology and Psychotherapy

One of my favorite books as readers might know is "Psiquiatras, Psicologos y Otros Enfermos (Psychiatrists, Psychologist and Other Patients". by  Rodrigo Munoz Avia.

And then Werner Herzog saying that they are disease of our time; that all psychiatrist and psychotherapists should be sent to an island to self analyse themselves. ;-)

Also, I have huge respect for dr Robert Torre and his work. He is famous for his books: "The Truth about Psychiatry" and "Madness strikes back" ;-) dr Torre is in line with a work of Mad in America.

Only recently I have discovered the work of dr Joanna Moncrieff and Critical Psychiatry Network – Scepsis and science, reflection and humanism

It appears that psychiatry and psychology are operating in the dark, let say it like that. So we can conclude that in a near future going to psychiatrist will be viewed as we view going to shaman these days. 

Only that shamans were not that dangerous as psychiatrists, psychologists and psychotherapists are.  

I must have flowers always, just like Monet

Spring is here again and I am looking forward to having new flowers, plants and trees of different kind. In both of our gardens: Metanoia and Aletheia.

The quote from subject is from a painter Claude Monet.
