Depression and oppression

 If you stop, and think about these two words, it is kind of odd, that they sound so much alike.  It does kind of indicate that there be a connection.  So, think about that connection.  Depression is kind of an internal force which, makes actions, and even thoughts sometimes very difficult.  Oppression would be pretty much the same thing, except that those forces, acting on an individual, may be considered, mostly, external.  In the more sophisticated forms of oppression, distinguishing the external and internal forces, becomes, of course much more difficult.

So, what we end up with then is the actual ability to distinguish between what we might call internal and external forces.  But, if you think about it, in both cases the counter measures might in fact be, very similar and many actions that might be taken to prevent or alleviate depression, would probably also be pretty effective at eliminating some forms of  external oppression.

So let's see if there is a conclusion here.  In my opinion, people crave freedom.  And some would agree, if I said that depression does , in fact , make some of what we perceive to be " freedom " more difficult.  So there does seem to be some connection through this idea of freedom.

Now, at the same time there is this issue of external and internal forces, which may be much more difficult to unravel, but of course we do have the " science " of phycology, not to mention, other medical advances. 

But obviously, both things represent a kind of " on going " struggle for all of us.  Struggle, work, success.  All of these things are possible. And that would be almost any day.

Synchronicity

 So, this strange, word, which suggests something like, two things happening at the same time, which are seemingly disconnected.  So, that may appear first mostly in the works of Carl Jung, and the formulations of many of his concepts related to applications of phycology.   Now, to the best of my understanding, Irwin Schrodinger, in the late 40's and early 50's kind of latched onto this " concept ", in relation to describing the " kind of " physics, connected to biologicals processes.  So maybe this is funny or not, but during this same time Schrodinger was supposed to be working with Einstein on the >>> Unified Field Theorem <<< , I guess, the " Theorem " gives it all away.  At some point , Schrodinger may have given a >>> press conference <<<  in which he announced that " they ", had been successful.  Well, he had not previously consulted Einstein, and apparently Einstein response was, okay we are don...

Perplexity, absurdity, and power

 So, when you consider or imagine " absolute " power, you must also consider the issue of " infinite " work.  In other words, without the results or effects of power, you really don't know anything about it. Nevertheless, throughout most of human history, we have labored under this concept of " absolute " power, which in and of itself produces very difficult logical or mental conundrums.  Of course, Dr. Einstein was fairly successful in dispelling some of these odd conundrums in particularly as regards some of our notions related to the physical world and our " environment " so to speak, however, that required a life time of work, and the help of many colleagues over the years. But simply, even if you do consider the >>>> universe <<<<< to be an infinite amount of work and therefore requiring an infinite/absolute amount of power, well, if you're going to try and rustle up numbers that actually make sense, you ar...

Something, something, reality

 Now, when we reflect back on " reality ", most people will agree, >>> it's hard to do without it <<< Now, we might be able to figure out how Godel's Proof , ties back to all this stuff, but it seems to me that if you want to describe some kind of reality, then you pretty much have to talk about diversity, and so probably, possibly what you are really talking about is the " ability " to sort out, elements of diversity as being a substantive process which it kind of seems like is persistently .occurring.   This might occur through action like --->  back actions <--- of some different processes or  even ---> front action <----, which might be easier to comprehend. So , if you are an automobile, and you can travel to pretty much anyplace in the world within 1 hour, then, things might look a bit different, particularly if you are into variation and transformation.  So, for example, Ralphy will rarely go to Africa, unless, it's l...
