A FAIRY TALE WORLD
It does
sometimes happen
that in an ordinary human life
such
fantastic events occur
that
if you could
not check up on them
you could think you
were being told
a fairytale.
Marie-Louise
von Franz *
The Psychological Meaning of Redemption Motifs in
Fairytales[1]
trained by
Carl Jung;
friend and very close associate of Jung’s
until he died in 1961;
great savant eventually
in
the highly specialized field
of interpreting
(from
the perspective, mostly,
of Jungian analytical psychology)
not only
traditional fairy tales
themselves
(worldwide)
but also
the
sad fairy-tale-like
dreams
and
the fairy-tale-like
real-life stories
of persons undergoing Jungian psychoanalysis,
and most
famously of all,
the tales,
dreams and real-life stories of mj lorenzo
while he
studied at the Jung Institute
in
Marie-Louise
von Franz (left) and Barbara Hannah (middle)
assisted Carl
Jung (right) personally and professionally
for decades
both during his life and after his 1961 death[3]
in
1945 we the
and
to accomplish this almost superhuman feat it took
LESS
THAN 4 YEARS
from
the day they attacked us at
and
now as of 2019
we
are again under attack from a disorganized army of crazy
fanatical
mass
shooters and killers-by-any-means, i.e.,
DIABOLICALLY
DEMENTED MASS SLAUGHTERERS
OF INNOCENTS
(a
chaotic army of cravens that especially loves to turn our
innocent children to dead blood and carrion meat while they
are sweetly learning ABCs at school)
a
disorganized war on
53
YEARS
and
shows no sign of being won by the currently impotent
and
what accounts for this difference between 4 years (in the
1940s) and 53+ (now)?
ENDLESS BLARNEYPROSER
PALAVER
like this:
“But,”
they say, “a single country like
STOP
THE PALAVER AND FIX IT
LIKE
PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS DID IN 1941
“But,”
they say, “traditional warfare is easier to wage than crazy
warfare.”
STOP
ARGUING AND ATTACK THE PROBLEM ALL OUT
LIKE
FDR AND CONGRESS DID IN 1941
as
soon as he and congress saw the problem they IMMEDIATELY
went to work
ALL
OUT
to
solve the problem
TOGETHER
“But,”
the blarneyprosers raise their voices, “things were simpler
in 1941! Today we are a people confused!”
“Politicians
won’t work together! They refuse to compromise!”
QUIT
THE HOPELESSNESS AND HELPLESSNESS AND FIX IT
things
were not simple in 1941 either
we
were in an economic depression
no money
and
little army
and our navy was mostly destroyed at
there
was political strife over going to war
many
people thought FDR had purposely handed the
because
FDR for years had been pro-war while Congress remained anti-
yet
these things did not stop the whole country from
IMMEDIATELY
GOING AT IT ALL OUT
so
stop
the mealy-mouthed equivocating and
DO
IT!!
NOW!!!!!!!!!
with
nothing short of
UTTER DETERMINATION
of
the kind shown by President
despite
their many political and ideological differences
THE LONGER WE ARGUE SIDES, THE STRONGER THE ENEMY GETS
and
though they be crazy they can be studied as the Japanese and
Germans were
and
patterns can be found and anticipated
and
UNDONE
Lord,
send us a REAL LEADER like FDR – or MOSES – please, capable
of uniting and leading us through a mammoth crisis to
victory,
and
REAL congress-people and
senators who can work with and help that strong leader,
EVERYBODY
ON ONE SIDE, ENDING THIS CRAZY THIRD WORLD WAR
and
restoring peace and sanity
we
ask in all humility and reverence
AND...
BUT ONLY IF IT BE THY WILL
(‘cause maybe you’re finished with
(and we can see
why)
(but we’re hoping you’ll forgive
our fool idiocies)
(and
lead us to do better)
AMEN.[4]

“Her
father was an Austrian baron. And if there were no
sounds of trumpets when she was born in
“In Jungian theory, those primordial stories [fairy tales] provide compelling evidence of his central notion that all humanity shares a collective unconscious of genetically replicated archetypal forms reflecting and embodying the entire spectrum of human aspirations, feelings, fears and frustrations.
“For those who doubted, Dr. von Franz conducted a worldwide study of fairy tales and turned out a stream of rigorously researched and influential books on this subject...
“As Jung had sensed, along the way she found too many common themes and symbols in too many isolated cultures for the similarities to be dismissed as mere coincidence....”
