Freud tried to stop, or to cut down his cigar ration, but failed. "He was always a heavy smoker––– twenty cigars a day were his usual allowance," Dr. Jones writes.<br /><br />Fainting also known as syncope is defined as the abrupt and transient loss of consciousness associated with loss of postural tone, typically followed by rapid recovery.<br /><br />A cardiac arrhythmia can cause syncope in the same way that it causes lightheadedness (presyncope). <br /><br />http://www.druglibrary.org/schaffer/library/studies/cu/cu24.html<br /><br />Sometimes a syncope is just a syncope!<br />Roll Cage Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14154277038544171706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-925549664214256461.post-35054883859432762282014-02-14T08:36:11.942-05:002014-02-14T08:36:11.942-05:00Marit, I stood under the almond tree in the front ...Marit, I stood under the almond tree in the front garden of Freud's last home in London in 2011.Robert Mosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09231870716685877709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-925549664214256461.post-20579885002767235252014-02-14T07:43:30.158-05:002014-02-14T07:43:30.158-05:00Very interesting what you said about S.

Others like Adler, formed their own association and developed a different direction.<br />Ernst Freud, Lucie Freud and Ilse Grubrich-Simitis has published a book where one can find a lot of personal letters and documents from S. Freud to his colleagues and friends which tells us that the man had both humor and self-irony.<br />His "recipe" for getting old:<br />" There should be a surplus of good-natured humor to withstand the changes age are doing to our body"<br />When his books were condemned to an official burning of the Nazis, he wrote to a friend:<br />" What progress we have had. During the Middle Ages they would have burned me, today they just burn my books"<br />My favorites are CG. Jung and Eric Fromm, but as E.F. and others say: One gets a better and expanded view if you can stand on the shoulders of another.<br />Spring has announced its access by flowering almond and mimosa trees.

Loving and strong fathers cultivate similar qualities in their sons (and in daughters) and give them confidence to realize their potential inside and outside as well.<br />Richard Rohr in one of his books mentions the relationship between St. Francis and his father. It was wounded relationship and Francis with his own intuition tried to heal it in a rather unusual and humble way (at least for me).<br />Always, when he went out, he asked a begger from the street to accompany him. He explained to him that when his father comes and tells him off, he will listen to it with one ear. In that moment, he would plead with the beggar to stand at his other side and whisper to his other ear: "Francis, you are my beloved son, you are the son of Heaven and the son of God." He wanted to have it repeated again and again until he could believe it. By Rohr it was his way to protect himself from permanent bitterness and sadness coming from father´s rejection. <br />I have no idea what Freud´s and Jung´s response would be to such a bit eccentric behaviour, but seriously taken, it´s not bad to know that the basic relationship between us and our heavenly Father or Life is always the perfect one, and the biggest surprise, it can be transmitted by someone as low and meaningless as a street begger.ninahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07681001278538562028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-925549664214256461.post-26250232893056715652014-02-12T10:19:30.928-05:002014-02-12T10:19:30.928-05:00"Perhaps there was an element of presentment ... "Perhaps there was an element of presentment in Freud's swoon..." I like this word presentment...anticipatory indignation?<br />Such a strange pair, Freud & Jung. Maybe what we call genius, the kind that influences the trajectory of human development, is nothing more than the quality of living out one's strangeness, no matter where it leads. Recent readings about an autistic savant and powerful introverts suggest the same.<br /> Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10113782885382493756noreply@blogger.com
