Cogito Ergo Sum

Rene Descartes, is a rather commonly known name, for those, who happen, to pick up, on logic. For the ignorant, they believe, that he probably invented, logic itself. Descartes, in many ways, attempted, to summarize, the human being, with the following phrase: Cogito Ergo Sum, "I think, therefore, I am". For Descartes, the very fact, that he was, a thinking being, meant to him, that, he was real, and did in fact, exist. Its a rather, very base way, of looking, at the human, but does work, when it comes, to attempting, to describe, what, the human being, really is: what is, in many ways, human nature.

Analytical Psychology:



While Descartes, laid, the foundations, for the origins, of Analytical Psychology [the view, of the human, as a thinking being], it was Carl Jung, who attempted, very much, to expand, the meaning, of human nature, not only, from that, of a thinking being, but also, very much, as to that, of a being, influenced [as with regards, to human nature], by a Mother, and Father figure. He associated, this influence, with what, he called, the Mother and Father, Archetypes.

Analytical Psychology, in many ways, does not only, speak, of the influence, of the Mother, and Father figures, in our lives; it also, very much, talks, of any underlying, tensions, between these, two figures, and within, themselves. Our Mother figure [and Archetype], very much, influences, the way, we live, our lives. The Mother Archetype [as a representation, of the Mother figure], very much, also lays, the beliefs, about ourselves, and our environments [our core beliefs]. She also though, however, determines, our livelihood [how we seek, to exist, with basic regard, to our amenities, and necessities]. In many ways, its the Mother figure, in our lives, who determines, what kind of person, we are [good/bad], and how, we choose, to exist [sustain ourselves really], with regards, to survival and support. Our basic environments, homes, and even more clearly, our bedrooms.

The Father figure [as represented, by the Father Archetype], acts, as a kind of, guide, with regards, to any, endeavour, made by a person. Anything, from getting, to a certain point, from another, or even, what shoes, to put on, for an interview. In many ways, simply advicing one, on what to do, with regards, to any, endeavour out there. In many ways though, one finds that, today, these roles, of the Mother, and Father Archetype, have been exchanged, giving rise, to some, emotional confusion, and turbulence, within, many folks, out there.

The thinker, within us [whom we might call, the Ergo], is today, driven, by past experiences, rather, than the ideals, espoused, by Descartes. In many ways, peoples lives, are limited, due, to looking at life itself, simply, from, past experiences. We live, in a rather, difficult [if not, crazy world], where, the unexpected, often happens. For those out there, who dare, to think, they might best, be adviced, that, using, Fuzzy Logic, is the way to go. Fuzzy Logic, tells us, that what, most, consider to be, an outlier,experience [ as with regards, to shocking, disturbing, or dangerous], happens, more regularly, than most believe it [don't believe the news really]. It also tells us, that what, most perceive, to be, an opposite, outlier experience [instant millionaire], happens, more easily, than most, would think it [easily meaning, there is a short viable path, to it]. In that sense, we live, in a crazy world, where, order and planning, do not, really exist.

State Oppression:

Many, are associated, with the names, Eva Peron, and Imelda Marcos. They know, they were a kind, of oppressor, but don't, really understand, how. In many ways, to summarize, their ways, is to say, that, they were, oppressors, with regards, to the, Mother/Father Archetypes, and the, Ergo. They sought, to put others, down really, with regards, to how, they lived, what kind of endeavours, they pursued, and in many ways especially, how they thought. In the end, they created, elitist, oppressive states, and helped coin, the terms, undesirables, and unwanted.

To fully, understand, the ways, of Imelda Marcos, and Eva Peron, is to fully, appreciate, what the Mother/Father Archetypes, are really, all about, and what, makes for, the Ergo really.

In many ways, today, our Mother figures [through the Mother Archetype], are supposed, to define, the materiality, we are associated with. In most ways, its the women, in our lives, as Mother figures, who define, the environments, we live in [especially at home]. Our materiality, kind of goes, with our, core beliefs, but in many ways, today, has become, rather, elitist, and symbols, of our Ergo identity. Our core beliefs, with regards, to ourselves [as especially pertaining, to personal issues], can be, religious, social, political, or family, in nature. And these beliefs, shape, our environments. Good examples, of this, can be seen, in America. One finds, that, with, Americans and Americanos, their core beliefs, are very much, family, in nature. What this means, is that, most, of the materiality, associated, with them, are very much, family, in nature. Lamborghini's, Fender guitars, Cats & Dogs, Cindys, Chevys, Mansions & Villas, are all, forms, of materiality, associated, with interacting, with people, one could call, family. You don't take, a Cindy, to a club, but, to a family outing really [and show her off]. Citizens, in America, have core beliefs, based on, being, social beings. Many see themselves, really, as kinds of, businessmen [of the hustler kind]. Their materiality, is also, very much, associated, with this mentality, and in many ways, many have, poor, Mother figures, in their lives [the Music Video, is more influential, in their lives, than Mother figures]. Americanistas, in many ways, see themselves, as being, Religious figures. Many today though, live, in poorly, decorated, environments, due to not fully understanding this [that their environments, should be religious]. The Gibson guitar, the Maybach, Birds as pets, Patricias [Clarkson], and Apartments or Chateaus, are really, all forms, of, religious materiality. The Maybach, is a car, the pope, would ride in [its really, a ride, meaning, more or less, a modern carriage] [Relationships, between, Americanista men, and women, are in general, religious, as in the case, of, Priest and a Mother Superior, or even, Priest and Nun (young American babe)]. For Americophiles, their materiality, has very much been, political, in nature. Computers, GMC vehicles, Pianos, Wines and Beverages, and even, Gourmet dishes, are all, forms, of, Political materiality [Computers in this case, refers, to Windows/PC products, and not, Apple, which are religious, in nature (Americanistas, could really go, heavy duty on this stuff, once the Org, is up and running)]. England too, has traditionally, had, a material culture, based, on the family. There was a time, in England, when, culinary sets, were considered, to be forms, of wealth. The English, in many ways, have always been, family oriented, and not, political, as they are presented, today. Country houses, very English in nature, are also, examples, of, English family based, materiality. The Deutsch, on the otherhand, are rather, political, and in this way, similar, to Americophiles.

Our Father figures [and hence Archetype too really], are in many ways, associated, with what, Society, calls, Systems [with Structures, being about, Mother figures]. Systems, are what, help us, with regards, to any, endeavours, we make. State Oppression today, while manifesting, in the form, of, overpricing materiality, really mostly, exists, with regards, to, the usage, of, Systems. There are about, 5, main kinds, of these, Systems, that are needed, by the average joe, to feel, very much, like, a normal person. If lacking, then issues, of, inequality arise, and issues too, of, power. Education, Transport, Law, Communications and Health systems, are the main, 5 Systems, needed, by the average joe, to feel, like a normal human. Without them, one feels like, they are lacking, in, capability [feelings of impotence]. Education here, does not really refer to, formal education, but to, very much, all sorts, of, guides and mentors. It is here, in many ways, that, systematic discrimination, arises, and one, that is rather, difficult, to deal with. If one, is incapable, of catching, a Taxi, it is hard, to deal, with such a, problem, formally. One cannot, really, report it, to a police station, and the best, one can do, is probably, file, a complaint, at a State agency.

With regards, to the Ergo, State Oppression, really has to do, with issues, of, psychological breakdowns. In many ways, this means, thinking, in ways, so as not to, experience, a panic attack, that would lead, to a, psychological breakdown. Racist actions, are at their heart, targeted, at making others, experience, a psychological breakdown. When one, is unfairly treated, one should seek, to react [not gentlemanly really], but in the form, of, the higher being [Angel, God, Gargoyle.......], they are evolving into. Many though, still attempt, to act, like, hominidal humans, when kind of, oppressed [at the best, gentlemanly]. These higher beings [we are evolving into], are very much, like, our true, Guardian Angels [and not personal inner voice]. In many ways, many today, think, fearfully, due to not, believing in, Guardian Angels.

The Anima and the Animus:

Many today though, are unaware, at just how far, Civilization, has regressed, with regards, to the Mother, and Father Archetypes. What this means, is that, we very much, live, in a world, where, the Mother, and Father Archetypes, are represented, by, actual Mother, and Father figures. Society, had evolved, into a stage, where, people, worshiped, Religious being, through the Mother, and Father Archetypes. The belief, in having, an actual caring mother, and guiding father, goes back, to the Ancient times, of Ancient Egypt [Egypt though, had greatly evolved, past this]. People instead, since the Arthurian Ages really, have worshiped, Religious beings, such as, Goddesses & Gods, as Mother, and Father figures. Worship of Goddesses, was used, to form, core beliefs, of oneself [especially as regards, to personal issues], and also, show one, how, to live in, their lives. If one, has personal issues, of all kinds [girl issues, nervous conditions.....], or simply wonders, whether, they should buy, a certain painting, for their living room, these are all, questions, one could put, to the Goddess, one worships. Goddess figures, tend to interact, with one, via, inner voices. Their worship, is rather, very simple.

With regards, to Father figures, Gods, of all kinds, had replaced, the Father figure, in raising, children. The Greek Gods, are the most, famous, of these, but were later, replaced, by the worship, of Jesus, in his various, manifestations. Other forms, of, 'God' worship, that became, popular, was the worship, of Saints. In many ways, worship, of Gods, has very much, to do, with any endeavour, people, seek, to do, as with regards, especially, to the 5 Systems mentioned. If stuck, and can't get, a Taxi, it is to a 'God', that you pray to. Gods, tend to communicate, with one, via, flashes of thought [images really]. In the Taxi situation, one might get, a flash, of where, one could pick up, a Taxi.

Goddess worship, is something, rather difficult, to assign, as it is, very much, similar, to living, with a foreign woman. Many of the Goddess figures, out there, while believed, to be, universal, are rather, communal, in nature. It is the Gods, that are rather, universal. However, for those, who desire, foreign women, and even, seek, to know them, worshiping, a foreign Goddess, is the way, to go about it [or seek to know them]. Some of the more, famous Goddesses, out there, one might wish to look up, are as follows: Athena, Ausar, Isis, the White Madonna, the Black Madonna, the Virgin Mary, Yemonja/Yemaya, the Indian Goddesses, Our Lady of Notre Dame, and finally, the Buddhist Goddess Tara. If you have ever, desired, a Mother figure, to adore you, and generally, motivate you, in just about, anything you do, then, it is Athena [Mother Of Champions & Greece], that you seek out. She is a Mother, that will help you out, with regards, to anything, personal [rejection by chicks, no friends, getting bullied and the likes]. A good example, of Athena, out there, is Celine Dion. If you ever, wanted, a mother, like Celine Dion, it is Athena then, you seek. If however, heavily disappointed, Athena, will shut down, on one [and never speak to you again]. Ausar, is a Goddess, seen, in Sufi worship, and one, of the best, Goddesses, out there, for those, with mother, and feminine issues. Very caring, and originally, of, Egyptian, origins. While seen, in the Middle East today, a good representation, of, Ausar, would be, Meg Ryan [watch some of her movies]. The White Madonna, like most, Madonna figures, is rather difficult, to deal with. She can be, very much, like an Ice Queen, or in the opposite, like, Snow White. Very Spanish, in nature, and worshiping her [which is similar, to being with her], is very much, like being, with a Spanish woman. A good representation though, of the White Madonna, is, Kate Winslet. The Black Madonna, more scary looking, than the White Madonna, is also, very much,a difficult Goddess [as it is hard, to know her], and very much, French, in nature. Traditional French women [somewhat Authoritarian], are what, the Black Madonna, is like. A good representation, of the Black Madonna, would probably be, Catherine Deneuve. The Virgin Mary, is a great introduction, to Goddess worship, but is in, many ways, a gentler, Mother figure [what this means, is that, don't expect too much, from her, with regards, to being an achiever]. She is not, too demanding, and rather, very homely, in nature. Hilary Swank, would be, an example, of the Virgin Mary. Yemonja/Yemaya, are Goddess worship, as seen, in Nigeria, and, South America/Brazil. She is in, many ways, a Goddess, associated, with strength. Very Queenly in nature, and also, rather intelligent. Worship though, differs, in Nigeria, and South America. Princess Diana, was very much, like Yemonja [as Goddess], in nature. As one can see, Yemonja, is a Goddess, associated, with achievers [those who want, to rise up, the ranks, via meritocracy]. Yemaya though, is a Goddess, that helps one, rise up, the ranks, more, with regards, to social skills. Melanie Griffith, is a fine example, of Yemaya. Isis, is a rather, well known name, when it comes, to Goddess worship, and the primary Goddess, associated, with Ancient Egypt, as a civilization. Isis though, is a rather, difficult Goddess, and was really, worshiped, as a, 'Mother of the Nation', or even, "Mother of Nations". She is that Grand [in nature], and very strict too, leading, to great successes, and even, great downfalls [it was the worship, of Isis, that was at the heart, of many, of Egypts, problems]. In many ways, she is very political, and is worshiped, by beings, who have, in one way, or another, become, big, and very political. In reality, a Goddess who demands, great obedience. The Indian Goddesses, of Parvati, Durga, Kali, and Shakti, are all, really manifestations, of the greater Goddess, Shakta. Shakta, is in, many ways, similar, to Isis. Difficult Goddesses too [as in the case of Kali, and her fearsome temper], and also, in many ways, responsible, for the rise, of India, as a great civilization, and probably, the easiest way, for India, to regain, its former, prominence. Not much to say, about, these Goddesses, but in nature [with regards to dealing with them], are similar, to dealing, with Martha Stewart. Our Lady of Notre Dame, is a Goddess figure, with origins, in North America, and not, France, as many, believe. Our Lady, is very much similar, to North American women, in general, and very societal, in nature [attempting to deal, with all kinds, of social problems]. In general, makes for a good, responsible, citizen. Patricia Clarkson [in 'All the Kings Men'], is an example, of our Lady of Notre Dame. The Buddhist Goddess Tara, is also, another example, of a responsibility demanding, Goddess. The Goddess, comes in various, forms, with the most unknown, being, Black Tara. Most Japanese women, are very much, like, Red Tara. A good example though, of this difficult Goddess, to deal with [in the form of, Black Tara], is Carla Gugino. That kind of, sums up, the various known, Goddesses, who can help one, start living, as, a human, today. Remember, their worship, culminates, in one hearing, their voices, as an inner voice. As a suggestion though, Athena, and Ausar, would be the best starts, for many out there. The rest, can be rather, demanding [Isis only deals with figures, who have had, past big histories].

The worship, of Gods, as a form of, Father figure, became, rather prominent, in Greece. The Greek Gods, are still, the most famous, of the Gods, but later replaced, in popularity, by the many manifestations, of Jesus. Zeus, is the most, difficult, of the Greek Gods, and would probably, have you, on call waiting, while he sorts out, some things. He is also, most likely, to correct you, impromptly, and without, your knowledge. Hercules, is rather difficult, and gives lots of advice, on, self-improvement. Achilles, is a great God, for those, who wish, to hustle, their way, through life, in one form, or another. Makes for a great friend too. Poseidon, is also, rather difficult, and rather commanding, in nature, with regards, to following, instruction. Can be confusing too. With Jesus, as a Father figure, the most famous known, are, Jesus of Nazareth [rather old fashioned though], and Jesus Christ [rather narrow, in help]. Great Jesus figures though, would be, the, Jesus of Gethsemane, and even, Risorgi Con Cristo. Risorgi Con Cristo, is Jesus, as worshipped, mainly, in the Philipines [and the Jesus, of self-whippings]; in many ways, a Jesus, for those, who seek out, outstanding success, all at a price though. In all, Achilles, and the Jesus of Gethsemane, would be a great start, for most out there.

Th Ergo, is something, most don't understand [man as a thinking being]. The reason for this, is due to the fact, that, most access, the Ergo, when not, in the present. When one, is thinking, or even, copulating, they are not, in the present, and are very much, something else. That something else, is the Ergo. It is with the Ergo, that the Media, perhaps, becomes, rather dangerous. This is because, when one, watches, a TV show, or movie, and identifies, with a thinking being, they very much, become, that being, when facing, a similar problem, in real life. If one, watches, a movie, of a thinking dog, and one, identifies, with the thinking dog [as in he knows, what he's doing], then on facing a similar situation, one would become, like the dog. Thought processes, can be hampered, by what, they call, Social prohibitions. Social prohibitions, are rules and laws, once broken, make one, ostracized, from society. In many ways, rules and laws, that really, only apply, to men out there. In general, one finds, that, there are, thinking processes [basic in nature], that one, can use, to present themselves, in any situation, that arises. The Tarot, was created for this, and represents figures, that are, very much, thinking beings [one should seek, to identify with them, as one thinks]. In all though, one finds that, different regions, of the world, have created, different cultures, driven, by various, thinking beings:

North America: The King

In North America, both men and women, tend to think [in just about any case], as the King. A good example, of the King, would be Jack Nicholson. In general, seeking, to be Knowledgeable.

South America: The Queen

In South America, both men and women, think, very much, like the Queen. A good example, of the Queen, would be, Antonio Banderas. In many ways, seeking, to be assertive.

Europe: The Clown

In Europe, thinkers [both men and women], tend to do so, very much, like the [a] Clown would. A good example, of the Clown, would be, Johnny Depp. The search, for clarity.

Africa: The Joker

In Africa, thinkers [men and women], are very much, Jokers, by nature. Jokers, in many ways, use, a kind of, fuzzy logic, in their thought. A good example, of the Joker, would be, Denzel Washington. Thinking, with regards, to possible outcomes.

Asia: The Fool

In Asia, both men and women, tend, to very much, think, like the Fool. Thinking in, a manner, suggesting, they don't know, or cant remember, something. Very common, around the world, due, to the universal, education system. A good example, of the Fool, is Jim Carey.

The Middle East: The Magus

In the Middle East, men and women, tend, to very much think, like the Magus. This means, thinking, in a manner, whereby, one, theorizes, just about, everything. One attempts, to create, a logical structure, to every problem. If deciding, to go, to the store [with fear of its closing], the King would ask, if there is another, open store around. The Queen, would act, assertive, with regards, to making it. The Clown, would ponder, whether, they really need, to go to the store; the Joker, would wonder, of the aftermath, of failing, to reach, the store, in time. The Fool, would wonder, if they can really, make it, or not [somewhat based, on past experiences; thoughts of traffic and even parking]. The Magus, would theorize, with regards, to a, replacement. A good example, of the Magus, would be, Micheal Jackson [you need to be a Magus, to dance, like Michael Jackson].


And that in all, kind of summarizes, what it means, to be a human, and human nature [thought patterns], itself. In summary though, worship, of Goddesses, and Gods, led to different, relations, with ones, Parental figures; Mother figures, were associated with, during, any, entertainment function [like dinners, parties, sunday afternoons etc.] Father figures, were mainly encountered, when, they needed, assistance, of some kind.

NB: For those, who might have, difficulty, dealing with, Goddess figures, another replacement, would be, to live by, Guiding Principles. Guiding Principles, are based, on, Sacred Scriptures, and Sacred Teachings, and in many ways, have, their origins, in understanding, the inner workings, of the Universe [the so called, Feminine Principle]. Dante Alighieris, Divine Comedy and Vita Nuova, are works, heavily based, on, Guiding Principles. Even then, one still needs, a Mother figure, in ones life, for basic mothering e.g. what to eat, when and how long to sleep, when to go out & where, and the likes. Goddesses, are great for this. Without a Mother figure, Father figure, and even, an Ergo [thought pattern], one becomes, a, more or less, damaged individual [totally messed up]. An individual, always living, in fear, and even, having fears, of enslavement, and survival itself [despite even, being, a success]. If you know, these three identities well, then one, can always feel, confident, with regards, to pursuing, just about, any form, of, success, out there [many out there, believe, having sex (a woman in ones life), is the only way, to gain, such confidence (very primitive and backward in thinking; stone age mentalities)].
