evan - Thought you’d be interested in this post on Freud’s concept of Thanatos.

Thanks terraflora.

It’s delightful to know we connected so well.

And thanks for bookmarking me too. Please let me know if you want me to follow up on anything or what you would like to write about (I don’t know that I’ll know anything about it but I’ll certainly try to say something worthwhile).

Thanks again,
Evan

dang… now I really AM late. :}

Evan - this is wonderful.
The energy that is loosed in us when we ‘appropriately rage’ is phenomenal. I had not thought about this in this way until now.. as I juxtapose your description to a recent betrayal that I truly (for the first time in my life) RAGED against. But as I continued just being with that feeling AND healing.. I experienced such a rush of energy and Life and .. I guess it was creativity!
Thanks for the enlightenment!

Hey Evan… I was just following some breadcrumbs that DrSteve left and found YOUR site. I am already late for work, but consider yourself officially bookmarked! I can’t wait to come back and digest what I’ve just skimmed over!! Good stuff!
And yummy images, tooo!

Evan - thanks for the mention!
Your pesonal example re acupuncture training is really stimulating. Inadvertently this teacher helped you to think for yourself.
Unintentionally, bad teaching can produce great learning if it’s bad enough and the student is motivated enough!
(I love your use of the photo, by the way.)
