There are jilts in friendship as well as in love; and, by the behavior of some men in both, one would almost imagine that they industriously sought to gain the affections of others with a view only of making the parties miserable. The young eagles of that day knew nothing of the blue sky and their hearts were filled with unsolved riddles. Now they can soar in the sky with the help of their strong wings to look for the answers to the riddles. However, no matter how high and how far they can fly, they will never forget their sweet home nor their parents’ bounties in bringing them up. If you think of someone meditating quietly, letting go of all focused thought, freeing oneself from pursuing any particular thought, emptying one’s awareness of specific content, you have some sense of the way the right hemisphere of the brain works. #RyaPhillippe 1 of 18

That new sense which is the gift of sorrow,–that susceptibility to bare offices of humanity which raises them into a bond of loving fellowship, as to haggard men among the icebergs the mere presence of an ordinary comrade stirs the deep fountains of affection. It is the left hand touch, the awkward, subtle, gentler response, the sensitive ability to resonate with what is. One is more vulnerable, more accessible, more open to blurring boundaries and distinctions, more connected and closer. The left hemisphere may be regarded as the active, intellectual expression of “I want.” The right hemisphere may be regarded as receptive, intuitive experience of “I am.” In the assertive response, life tends to be simpler and more concrete. #RyanPhillippe 2 of 18

In life it is difficult to say who do you the most mischief, enemies with the worst intentions, or friends with the best. Each hemisphere of the brain operates independently of the other. Each is unique, separate, distinguishable. Yet they are held together and coordinated by connecting fibers known as the corpus callosum. The corpus callosum may be thought of as the lines of communication between one side of the brain and the other, conveying messages back and forth. There is feedback between the two sides, thereby integrating information. In recent years a number of people have been found who, whether as the result of an accident or of special surgery, have had those connecting fibers severed. Thus, they are labeled as “split-brain” people and normal people have begun to produce data about the way our brains work and implications for the way we act. #RyanPhillippe 3 of 18

When amicable relations between two men happen to be in jeopardy, there is least danger of ensuing quarrel if the friendly intercourse has been of artificial growth on either side. In one experiment, split-brain patients saw the letters HEART flashed on a screen. They were asked to say what they saw, in other words, to respond from the left hemisphere. All of them reported: “I saw the word ART.” Then they were instructed to point with their left hand to what they saw; in other words, to respond from the right hemisphere. All of them pointed to HE. Different answers were given to the same question. Verbally, they gave one response to what they saw. Nonverbally, they gave another. In other experiments, split-brain people could spell words with their left hands when they were unable to say what they spelled. #RyanPhillippe 4 of 18

The stranger who looks into ten thousand faces for some answering look and never finds it, is in cheering society as compared with him who passes ten averted faces daily, that were once the countenances of friends. The right hemisphere is limited in its overall command of language. Although it can respond to a concrete none such as car, it has more difficulty with verbs, for example, not responding to simple printed instructions such as smile, or laugh. It is poorly developed grammatical sense is suggested by its inability to form the plural of a given word. At the same time the right hemisphere excels in such tasks as arranging blocks to match a pictured design or drawing a cube in three dimensions as seen in Figure above. #RyanPhillippe 5 of 18

Good fortune opens the hand as well as the heart wonderfully; and to give somewhat when we have largely received, is but to afford a vent to the usual ebullition of the sensations. The two hemisphere of the brain function separately but not simultaneously. When one side is active, the other is quiet. That has been ascertained by brain wave reaction patterns. In activation there is a decrease in the alpha waves; in rest there is an increase in the alpha waves. People who dream often, and with great enjoyment, of swimming, cleaving the waves, etc., have usually been bed-wetters, and they now repeat in the dream a pleasure which they have long since learned to forgo. #RyanPhillippe 6 of 18

Nothing more aggravates bad luck than the near approach to good luck. The gamester who loses by a single point laments his bad luck ten times as much as he who never came within a prospect of the game. The left hemisphere of the brain and the right are linked with control of the voluntary nervous system. The assertive, aggressive initiative comes out in active volition for the sake of biological and individual survival. Think of this metaphorically as the presence of the bright light of the sun. In 1707, in Worcestershire, England, one appeared which was so bright it made the stars and Moon disappear and left traces, in the form of a small white cloud, that lasted for half an hour. It the light of the Sun, I was dazed, I was burned. #RyanPhillippe 7 of 18

An honorable card hand should go with an honorable heart. The right hemisphere and the left side of the brain are linked with control of the autonomic nervous system. The receptive, unresistive taking-in comes out in passive volition for the sake of sociological and spiritual survival. Think of this metaphorically as the presence of the subtle light of the stars. In 1243, Matthew Paris’s Historia Anglorum: On 26 July of this year, one a perfectly clear night, brilliant stars were seen falling, scattering here and there in a manner so copious that if they had been real stars, none would be left in the sky. It was brilliant, it fragmented in air, and it was immortalized in a pair of paintings. There was no area bigger than three times the Moon that was not constantly brimming with meteors. #RyanPhillippe 8 of 18

Gambling is a sordid vice; an immorality; the child of avarice; and a direct breach of that commandment which forbids us to covet what is our neighbor’s. In active volition we tense the body, brace ourselves, tighten up to meet a challenge. In passive volition we relax the body, detach ourselves, let go of effort to be part of what is. People are desperate to stay unconscious. I often observe how often people touch that dial and turn on the television set the minute they enter a room and then walk around in a dream-like state, constantly being programmed by the data poured into them. People are terrified of facing themselves. They dread even a moment of aloneness. Thus the contestant frantic activities: the endless socializing, talking, texting, sexting, reading, Netflix and Chill, music playing, working, travelling, sightseeing, shopping, overeating, gambling, movie-going, pill-popping, drug-using, and cocktail partying with the FANTA. #RyanPhillippe 9 of 18

There is a progressive loss of awareness and an arrest of growth. Your ghost are very rude unsociable folk. Goblins and spirits have no more to do with darkness than with light. Gentlemaning as a profession has got to play out in a generation or two. It is a principle of his that no man who was not a true gentleman at heart, ever was, since the World began, a true gentleman in manner. There is a loss of creativity, energy, and real interest in others. There is a halting of spiritual growth and eventually the development of physical and emotional illness, disease, aging and premature death. The projection of these repressed feelings results in the social problems, disorders, and the increase of selfishness and callousness characteristic of our present society. #RyanPhillippe 10 of 18

Most of all, the effect is the inability to truly love and trust another person, which results in emotional isolation and self-hatred. You do not understand what friendship is—or what enmity is. You like everyone; that is to say, you are indifferent to everyone. Looking and seeing both start with sense perception, but there the similarity ends. When I look at the World and label its phenomena, I make immediate choices, instant appraisals—I like or dis like, I accept or reject, what I look at, according to its usefulness to the “Me”….THIS ME THAT I IMAGINE MYSELF TO BE, and that I try to impose on others. The two dreams were dreamed by the same person—a young man of pronounced homosexuality which, however, has been inhibited in life. #RyanPhillippe 11 of 18

How much more glorious a character is that of the friend of mankind than that of the conqueror of nations! The purpose of looking is to survive, to cope, to manipulate, to discern what is useful, agreeable, or threatening to ME, what enhances or what diminishes the Me. This we are trained to do from our first day. However, finally an overwhelming mass of evidence convinced me that in the case of men nothing other than the masturbatory desires of puberty furnish the motive power of these dreams. For it conceals also the painful reflection that in his striving after friendship he has often had misfortune to be thrown out, and the fear lest this fate may be repeated in the case of the young man by whose side he has enjoyed the performance of Fidelio. #RyanPhillippe 12 of 18

If the ghost of a man’s own father cannot be allowed to claim his attention, what can? When, om the other hand, I SEE—suddenly I am all eyes, I forget this Me, am liberated from it and dive into the reality of what confronts me, become part of it, participate in it. I no longer label, no longer choose…This is now followed by a confession, shameful to a man of his refinement, to the effect that once, after such a rejection on the part of a friend, his profound sexual longing caused him to masturbate twice in succession. He is witnessing a performance of Fidelio from the stalls of the operahouse; he is sitting next to L., whose personality is congenial to him, and whose friendship he would love to have. Suddenly he flies diagonally right across the stalls; he then puts his hand in his mouth and draws out two of his teeth. The mirthful laughter is a reliable symbol of spiritual health. Wish you pleasure and laughter every day in the coming year. #RyanPhillippe 13 of 18

The other dream is as follows: Two University professors of his acquaintance are treating him in my place. Once of them does something to his penis; he is afraid of an operation. The other thrusts an iron bar against his mouth, so that he losses one of two teeth. He is bound with four silk handkerchiefs. The extraction of a tooth by another is usually to be interpreted as castration. The sexual significance of this dream can hardly be doubted. The silk handkerchiefs all to an identification with a homosexual of his acquaintance. The dreamer, who has never achieved coition (nor has he ever actually sought sexual intercourse) with men, conceives the sexual act on the lines of masturbation with which he was familiar during puberty. #RyanPhillippe 14 of 18

I believe that the frequent modification of the typical dream due to dental stimulus—that, for example, in which another person draws the tooth from the dreamer’s mouth—will be made intelligible by the same explanation. It may, however, be difficult to understand how dental stimulus can have some to this significance. However, here I may draw attention to the frequent displacement from below to above which is at the service of sexual repression, any by means of which all kinds of sensations and intentions occurring in hysteria, which ought to be localized in the genitals, may at all events be realized in other, unobjectionable parts of the body. #RyanPhillippe 15 of 18

We have a case of such displacement when the genitals are replaced by the face in the symbolism of unconscious thought. This is corroborated by the fact that verbal usage relates the buttocks to the cheeks, and the atresia ani to the lips which enclose the orifice of the mouth. Those nose is compared to the penis in numerous allusions, and in each case the presence of hair completes the resemblance. Only one feature—the teeth—perhaps the representation of sperm being stole from a man. In Austria there is in use an indelicate designation for the act of masturbation, namely: To pull one out or to pull one off. I am unable to say whence these colloquialisms originate, or on what symbolisms they are based; but the teeth would very well fit in with the first two. #RyanPhillippe 16 of 18

Dreams of pulling teeth, and of teeth falling out, are interpreted in popular belief to mean the death of a connection. Dreams of flying or hovering for the most part pleasurably toned, were very frequent. I was hovering a little way above the street without touching the ground. I was very short of stature, and I shunned every sort of contamination involved by intercourse with human beings. My dream of suspension—which raised my feet above the ground and allowed my head to tower into their air—fulfilled both of my wishes. In the case of other dreamers of the same sex, the dream of flying had the significance of the longing: If only I were an eagle! Similarly, others become angels at night, because no one has ever called them angels by day. #RyanPhillippe 17 of 18

The intimate connection between flying and the idea of an eagle makes it comprehensible that the dream of flying, in the case of male dreamers, should usually have a coarsely sensual significance; and we should not be surprised to hear that this or that dreamer is always very proud of his ability to fly. A great many flying dreams, since the remarkable phenomenon of erection, which constantly occupies the human phantasy, cannot fail to be impressive as an apparent suspension of the laws of gravity (cf. the winged phalli of the ancients). The erotic element as the most important motive factor of the hovering dream refers to the strong sense of bodily vibration which accompanies this type of dream, and the frequent connection of such dreams with erections and emissions. #RyanPhillippe 18 of 18
