    Psychological Types

    Psychological Types: Echo of Carl Gustav Jung (Part 1 of 12) Ten-year-old Carl stands in a cold doorway, his father's dark study on one side and his mother's sunlit garden party on the other, belonging fully to neither. Carl's father, the village pastor, shrinks and trembles among the Sunday guests, then comes back to life the moment he is alone with his Greek books. His mother is the reverse: heavy and far away in the empty house, radiant the instant company arrives. Standing between them, the boy feels himself pulled both ways at once, a compass needle between two norths. He doesn't choose that afternoon. But the difference his body learns in that doorway is the seed of the psychology he will spend his life building: the introvert and the extravert, two ways of being alive. 1885. Carl Jung is 10. The parsonage at Kleinhüningen, near Basel. This was only the beginning. Each of the twelve chapters takes one part of Carl Gustav Jung's life and one of his teachings. The other eleven are waiting on our educational platform at https://agoracosmica.org/figures/carl-gustav-jung/.

    The Power of Self-Observation

    The Power of Self-Observation: Echo of Frida Kahlo (Part 1 of 12) Someone has fastened a mirror to the underside of the bed canopy. Eighteen-year-old Frida Kahlo, spine shattered, body encased in plaster, spends four days refusing to look before she understands that not-knowing is worse than any truth the glass can show. Three months after a trolley collision rebuilds her body in plaster and iron, Frida lies pinned to a bed in Coyoacán, staring at a mirror her mother mounted above her, until her father opens his photography books and shows her Rembrandt's self-portraits. She begs for paper and pencil and learns the teaching that watching yourself closely is the first act that is not just survival but making. December 1925. Frida Kahlo is 18. Coyoacán, Mexico City. This was only the beginning. Each of the twelve chapters takes one part of Frida Kahlo's life and one of her teachings. The other eleven are waiting on our educational platform at https://agoracosmica.org/figures/frida-kahlo/.
