"This may be abit random PSYCH! but like, y is it that you like always have choices? I can imagine the joke already bout that. As in like I feel like im always stuck between chosing things. Sometimes its good stuff and bad stuff or between two girls or like going to a party or not. Sometimes like right now i guess im writing bout being stuck between two jobs. I dont know which is better. Can you tell me? one has more hours less money but is something im interested in and the other has more money but it kinda sucks. What would you do? something you love for less or something thats just okay for more? :) Jake"
Hi jake!
I totally get what you mean by the holding of opposites! I totally know it....it could be something like trying to figure out if you should hang out with the boys tonight or stay in with the gal...buy the car with better gas mileage or the better looking german one....scratch your butt or pick your nose....stick with missionary position or switch into the full-slammin' pastrami sandwich handglider....the old one dollar bill with two strippers in front of you dilemma......ahhhh...choices.
It so wonderful that you are writing about the very topic that I read about this weekend. No joke. Very very very cool. SO check it out...here is your PSYCH!SENSE words of the day...the "TRANSCENDENT FUNCTION"......now...what the hell is that?
IT IS A VERY DEEP AND UNCONCIOUS DIVISION...but for the sake of simplicity and for readers not to get bored of me...lets describe it like this.
this function is from a doctor named Carl Jung. It is the opposition of two really, really, really strong opposites in the mind...Now...Jung says that in the holding of the tensions...in the holding of two opposites (in this case your two jobs)...in the tension and the tug o'war that is going on...a third "thing" (usually the answer) will always come out. It will point to one side...or often it will provide a new option all together to answer you... THis is the transcendent function. This is your answer.
TRUE STORY!
A long time ago ...I was in Santa Barbara (I live in Los Angeles by the way) talking to some friends and generally shooting the crap...I had began to talk to them about a gal that I knew only in passing in LA and how I knew she was working a "tic tac throw" game that night in LA while I was up in SB....
....eventhough I thought I couldn't get her...no way could I build the courage to talk to her and ask her out when I got back (because if she said no, I thought it would break me)...I was stuck...do I talk to her...or not? In fact, I had been thinking about her so much, without even knowing her...I knew nothing about her....TOTAL STALKERISH STYLE! I KNOW! but I knew that she was everywhere I looked...oh you know..."every song sings of her...every voice is hers...every car passing is probably hers" blah, blah, blah, yeah...I had it bad...
So the choice? Well...like I said I was in Santa Barbara at a bar and grill for lunch when on the television screen, only now do I recall this, what flashed on screen was a ferris wheel. This was my transcendent function...this was my sign, my symbol, my telling me the choice I had to make.......what did I do?
I drove my "transcendent function ass" back down to LA that very minute...
4 hours and 26 minutes later (traffic doesn't stop in LA even when you get a transcendent function...sigh) I was at the carnival to try and hit on the love of my life...I left from Santa Barbara area and drove down to talk to her rehearsing my lines and what I would say to her when I got there........what happened?

My transcendent function ass got a piece of ass....LOL....as I hear some of my readers laughing...not that night mind you...but by holding the two choices (talk to her or not) the answer came to me. I then ran with that answer and started an amazing yet far too short relationship with her.
the old' ace of base song, "I SAW THE SIGN...And it opened up my eyes..." The answer will come...hold the tension...hold the polarities...hold the ends...
also known as: "something's gotta give" hold the two choices...listen to the world...wait for divine intervention...breathe and wait...your answer will come. Have faith that you will know which is better for you.
The signs are all there and laid out for us. It's up to us to decide whether or not we want to see them, whether it be a song you heard on the radio, something you saw a tv, or something as big as a ferris wheel. When we're ready or when we want it badly, we're more aware of looking out for signs than we expect we just don't realize it. Fate has a funny way of laying out our lives for us. We have to be open to the idea of being able to really take a look around and read all the signs at our disposal.
ReplyDeleteSometimes we rebel against fate and choose to ignore the signs, but at least this way we're not left with the "what if" factor of what would have happened had we done what we wanted instead of what was laid out for us to do. Just a thought
This one was a good one...lol
ReplyDeleteBest advice i've heard in a long time...
