^ You made a mistake, should be a picture of a spreadsheet with glasses, and monotone voice. @integral All the more reason to avoid most people that are on this site. I'm compatible with no one, but I'm fair in that it is 'equally' no one. I don't believe that people are compatible with everyone, sounds like airy fairy spiritual nonsense.

Orly? Takes me just two letters. "No." Felt great. Or how about two words. "Just... no." Even greater, I might become enlightened by the end of the day.

Not easily, I hate most people. As they say, "Hell is other people." And it's so true. I don't think people in general are worthy of love, for the most part.

INFP + ENFJ - No stank you. They're manipulative and have no sense of self. They're well known for people being the most likely to be a psychopath/sociopath and need to be sent off on an ice berg into the ocean in droves. If I know someone is an ENFJ, I know they're gunna be a total cu** of a human being. INFP + ENTJ - No. I don't like or need to be dominated, or talked over without being seen. Most sensor type intuitive. INFP + INFJ - Shallow, over rated and most are INFP's in disguise. INFP + INFP - Could work, depending on how much of a winger the male is... INFP + ENFP - As if I need the lack of solid footing, I have enough of that as it is. Makes a good friend, though, they remind me of my drunk self, though, only sober... INFP + INTJ - Nope. I have terrible Te. I don't need someone looking over my shoulder critiquing the application of everything that I do or making plans for me that I never agreed to. Most don't have hearts, either, it's like dealing with what a mad scientist thought a human should be, minus having an actual heart and soul - they're literal human robots. INFP + INTP - They make good friends, I have not met enough to know what they're like romantically. INFP + ENTP - They make good friends, but I couldn't deal with them long term - I need "some" reflection that feelings actually matter and they can't pay attention to anything but themselves for longer than 30 seconds INFP + sensor - All sensors should be sent to an island of their own - overcrowded and desolate, and forced to live under squalid conditions for simply existing. No INFP should ever have to deal with a sensor. Point is - INFP's are not made for relationships, we're made to "fantasize about relationships". That's about as far as an INFP should get. Most of us have expectations that can't be fulfilled by a normal human being.

TBF enfp is superior, idky you'd wanna be an infp, lolol

This song, plus synchronicity, and the ability to communicate with a primordial energy that offers you more creativity and expression:

I don't know, I was young in my early 20's and my friends found a whole bunch (we lived in pnw) and my roomie added about five whole handfuls of them, we watched Tim and Eric and had a good time.

@Proserpina Thanks! Me personally, I am not arguing with anyone in my journal, I just use it to take notes and sometimes talk about my home life, and post music, and I find that I write better if I know other people are there. I've gotten into arguments in the past, but I left them alone after a few days - I have a hard time holding onto anger for things, mostly because I'm an ideas person and i just forget the social aspect altogether (infp 5w4 - usually I'm working on a project or something to represent an insight) I think the solution is going to be giving each other space when they ask for it, and letting things go and moving on. That always works. You don't want drama in your head because it takes away from the positive energy that could be manifesting healthier things in the world, we should all seek to try and benefit that, energetically, through offering unique ideas instead of fighting one another. I've experienced the same feeling, where I am not sure if someone is saying something negative about me, but I think it is more paranoia than anything - I have read some of your journal and I glean nothing but good things from it, so no snark from my end, ever.

I think the main problem is when people start to converse in each other's journals or watch them. I have a very very small block list, but of people I have fought with - or even on my end treated wrongly, I just block and move on. Especially if someone requests that, I always do this. If someone flat out asks me, "Don't bother me, just ignore me." The message is received and I do just that, even if I don't get closure on the issue, it's closure for them. I think the problem is that we are problem people. A lot of us have serious things going on in our lives and need to be seen and heard and understood and everyone is looking for this, but we don't know how to give it to one another - only to ask for it. It seems to me like this is a more serious section of actualized, because we take our work as something to express what we can't in the real world and this is where we need to all see eye to eye and respect that even if we don't all get along. A lot of us are going through unseen battles. And I think... maybe real life sometimes those emotions leak into the journal section. We are like, all seeking how to use Fe appropriately, as most of us are either introverted or mentally unwell - there are few genuinely grounded people who use this section so drama is bound to happen, we just need to learn how to handle it better. I'll tell you how I handle it: I panic. I panic and react, and I think that's a common thing. We will as a community do better and grow together and maybe now is a time to have this kind of discussion on an equal playing field and try to respect each other's space - because although these journals are just online blogs about our lives, they contain a lot of energy that is useful, information that is valuable, and in some of them we are baring our souls, simply because there is something that comes from writing that allows you to do this - and that needs to be treated with care, like a glass sculpture or something. This place will get better, I think we are just airing out old grievances and that moral will improve, with or without the beatings.

I think he could work on his Fe a bit more, if he did, his followers would start to as well and then this place would be warm, welcoming, etc. I think a lot of people here, me included are lost on how to properly use Fe - I didn't learn it growing up. I don't exist in an environment at home that promotes kind behaviour either. It is strict and very verbally rude, on all sides. It would be interesting to go on an Fe journey with everyone. My main thing is his comments about women make me feel insecure. If he could be more respectful towards that, as someone here who isn't a perfect woman by any means, I think he needs to be more lenient towards his expectations of women in the world. We don't live in a woman's world. It's hard to learn to be feminine.

Notes: In alchemy Nigredo, or blackness means petrification of decomposition. It was believed by alchemists that the first steps towards to philosopher's stone required all the ingredients to be cleansed and cooked excessively to a uniform black matter, but what does this Nigredo phase mean for our physiological wellbeing? How does it operate in our unconscious? What are the implications of this process when viewed at the collective level? Is it the same as shadow work? What does the blackness represent? Let's uncover the truth to these and other questions. For Carl Jung the purpose of alchemy is to liberate the whole individual which is hidden in the darkness, threatened by the rational and correct conduct of life. Consequently experiencing themselves as hindered and on the wrong path, the Nigredo, or blackness was the initial stage of the alchemical process. It is the original dark chaos, also known as massa confusa, where all the elements were chaotically swirling around together. It could also represent the state of separations, where the elements were separated from one another. I could also represent the state of separation where the elements are separated from one another, in this state a union of opposites is needed and male and female lay together to produce a third. This third product of their union is marked for death and so the mourning period begins, the Nigredo phase. Putrefactio and mortifactio are two aspects of the Nigredo phase where the former means rotting and the later means killing. Here we see how this phase is closely associated with death, Saturn rules Nigredo phases, and the opposites that need unification are the sun and the moon. Let's not forget that Saturn is also the god of fertility, this means that the alchemical expression is a fertile earth expressed as a transformation as death into a new life. The head of a raven is another traditional name for the Nigredo phase. In the practice of analytical psychology, the term Nigredo becomes a metaphor for the dark night of the soul, when an individual confronts the shadow within himself. Carl Jung claims that the shadow personifies everything that the subject refuses to see in himself and represents a tight passage, a narrow door whose painful constriction, no one is spared who goes down to the deep well. When an individual makes an attempt to see his shadow he becomes aware of and often ashamed of those qualities and impulses he denies in himself, but can plainly see in others such things. This is a painful and lengthy work of self education. Alchemists projected their inner psychic contents to matter and their transformational practices concerning it, the Nigredo that was the black work of alchemists represented a critical involvements experienced by the ego until it accepts the newly formed equilibrium brought by the creation of the self. For Jungians the Nigredo phase could be interpreted in two mains ways: First - the subject is unaware of the unconscious i.e. the connection with the instincts. Nigredo here makes the subject bringing about awareness to his unconscious. Second - says that the Nigredo is a part of the individuation process which is subjectively experienced and brought about by the subjects growing painful awareness of his shadow aspects. It is a prerequisite for personal development. As the individuation unfolds, the confrontation with the shadow produces at first a dead balance, a standstill that hampers moral decision and makes convictions ineffective or impossible - Negredo; chaos, melancholia. Melancholy can arise when working on ones self, the alchemists advice music to leave the alive the soul. The Nigredo phase is followed by deep emotions, it is slow, repetitive, difficult, dissecting, effortful, severe and pulverizing. Allthewhile the worker enters a Nigredo state; depressed, confused, anguished and subject to pessimistic even paranoid thoughts of sickness, failure and death. Mourning is caused by the loss of an object or person who carried an important projected value, and in order to withdraw projections and assimilate their content into one's own personality, it is necessary to experience the loss of the projected as a prelude to rediscovering the content or value within, therefore mourners are fortunate because they are involved in a growth process. They will be comforted when the lost projected value has been recovered within the psyche. This is the darkest time of despair and disillusionment. All of this gives the power for the enantiodromia to take place where the Nigredo phase gives way to the Albedo phase, where the decent into the unconscious suddenly becomes an illumination from the psychic realms above. Enantiodromia: Jung describes it as an emergence of the unconscious opposite in the course of time, this characteristic phenomenon always occurs when an extreme one sided tendency dominates conscious life. In time an equally powerful counter-position is built up, which first inhibits the conscious performance and subsequently breaks through the conscious control. When it comes to the colour black - it carries the meanings of the random and the formless, like a black hole it sucks into it and makes vanish the fundamental security structures of a Western consciousness, by abstaining colour, black prevents phenomena from presenting their virtues. Black's deconstruction of any positivity, experienced as doubt, negative thinking, suspicious, undoing, valuelessness, explains why the Nigredo is necessary to every paradigm shift. On the mythological level Nigredo represents the difficulties that men needed to overcome on the Hero's Journey. Alchemists said that the Nigredo stage lasts 40 days. 40 days has a symbolic value. Jesus fasted for 40 days in the desert. St. Antonius spent 40 days in the Sahara desert being plagued by visions. The Israelites wandered for 40 days in the desert and there are 40 days of fasting between Easter and the Ascension day. When it comes to literary works, the raven, but Edgar Allen Poe and Shakespeare's Ophelia come to mind. In the birth of the Red Book entitled, "Decent into the Hell in the Future", we find the following dark passage: I see a grey rock face along, which I sink into great depths, I stand in black dirt, up to my ankles in a dark cave, shadows sweep over me, I am seized by fear but I know I must go in. I crawl through a narrow crack in the rock and reach an inner cave whose bottom is covered in black water, but beyond this I catch a glimpse of an illuminated red stone which I must reach, I wade through the muddy water. The cave is full of the frightful noise and shrieking voices. I take the stone. It covers a dark opening in the rock. I hold the stone in my hand, peering around inquiry. I do not want to listen to the voices, they keep my away but I want to know. Here something wants to be uttered. I place my ear to the opening. I hear the flow of underground waters. I see the bloody head of a man in the dark stream, someone wounded, someone slain floats there. I take this image for a long time, shuddering. I see a large black scarab floating past on the dark stream, in the deepest reach of the stream shines a red sun, radiating through the dark water, there I see and the terror seizes me. Small serpents in the dark rock walls, striding towards the depths where the sun shines, a thousand serpents crowd around, veiling the sun, deep night falls. A red stream of blood, thick, red blood springs up, surging for a long time, then ebbing. I am seized by fear. What did I see? In conclusion, a Nigredo phase is a psychological process that can be also viewed as shadow work. Here a problem is given full attention by being reduced to its core. It is not done purely in an intellectual manner, but in an emotional one. Confrontation with our inner reality is often painful and can lead to extreme states of feeling. This confrontation makes us understand what we project to others and the world. It makes us become aware of our own darkness. Only through this process where our false ideas and beliefs are burned away do be become aware of what we really are, as Nigredo is the first stage of the individuation process which alchemists believe to be the making of the philosopher's stone - lead to gold, psychologically and spiritually.

No it isn't, their saliva is full of bacteria, which is why when they bite you and it goes past the skin you need to get an antibiotic. Their mouths are teeming with bacteria.

Life has a divine spark in it from the moment of conception. The solution is sex and parental education in schools; free contraceptives. You can't stop people from having abortions, but you can give them the tools where it won't happen as frequently. That's the only solution, really, for either side. On ants - you shouldn't kill them, sometimes their placement indicates a greater message that they're just crawling right across...

Nothing like reviving a thread from six years ago, just to complain about your mother. Real growth. This guy. ^

Notes on my journal on destruction and how to implement this sort of imagery into your practice, what it means and so forth, hope it helps! ^

And yeah, they whisper Don't forget me now See the morning All out pain went down Nobody left Purify We built an idol To burn the bodies down Delicious ape, you are undelicious ape Comic, hairy, gross, childish arms Banging all the time on garbage drums Will tremble before your tallows mess Naming himself after a god and that god is the god of undelicious apes For appearance Sick and devout Seek forgiveness In horror, pain, and flight You remember me now? Covered in blood 'Til the rain came down Let it recall Soaked in blood Some never learned Of the radiant dawn You remember me now? Choking and burning In the rays of the dawn Stop haunting me It was long ago Burn candles Purify Let me go... It's a predator/prey world out there. The universe is a silent observer over everything that happens, no matter the extend of the horror contained, it all amounts to some form of beauty that the witness can truly remember themselves by, thus is the philosophy of Kali Ma. She'll rip the demons right out of you and keep going, ripping, tearing, chewing, until you're able to see the Light in the impenetrable of things. The red sunset riding behind the blackened mountains, the sun devoured by a seemingly pregnant darkness. You'd think Nothing would be There - until you find that your mind generates it All - and a new world takes form. Make something new and delicious. Let me prepare a plate for you, dig in, child.
