America's Mess With Mexico
From the border to the economy, to the cartels, America and Mexico have a relationship that has been crucial and complicated. America blames Mexico for its deadly drug prices while American demand helps keep the cartels in business. Millions pour over the southern border. But without Mexico's help, there would likely be millions and millions more.
In a myriad of ways, this pivotal relationship and how America chooses to shape it holds the keys to both countries' future.

Very good weekly news overview
Intelligent centrist non-inflammatory perspective. Worthwhile.

The distinction between subconscious and the unconscious and Mr. Cameron
Hi Fareed, Perhaps another question you are asking is, what is my interest in JC or Billy Joel or dreams? As you are clearly an “ extroverted thinking” Person. This would be your “dominant function” , so it stands to reason that you would be attracted to folks that represent ( or present) something slightly different. In this case artists. Jung once observed, “ The greatest and most important problems of life are all fundamentally insoluble. they can never be solved but only outgrown”. Those of us in the Jungian community, whether Analyst or Analysands understand this axiom. The unconscious, as Jung observed is, “ really unconscious “. All the “ thinking “ in the world will not entirely solve our problems or dilemmas. But we ( postmodern folks) continue to throw all our resources at more “ thinking”, degrees credentials and mental/ computer processing . But JC, BJ stand out precisely because they combine ego consciousness with the unconscious ( S)elf. What Edward F. Edinger called the “ Ego/Self axis “. Hard to explain but we see or hear it in JC movies or BJ music. Their combining of “ extroverted thinking” with “ introverted intuition “ or “ feeling”. Fareed, you are a formidable mind. And i like your curiosity regarding the “ heart” or “ the unconscious “. i think you would find depth psychology ( check out Jerry R. Wright’s writings) much to your liking. The “subconscious” is an early term Freud used. And Freud can be credited with with its wide use in Western Culture. But Freud felt that dreams were largely rubbish or residue from our waking life. He had a very reductive view of dreams and fantasies. These dreams and fantasies were largely filled with meaningless, hidden childhood wishes and desires. But being the highly “ extrovert thinker” that Freud was he largely ruled out-the possibility of a sacred, imaginative or healing element. Have fun Fareed, with your “ Art”, whatever that is. Take care Fareed. Three Essential Principles of Depth Psychology I. It's not about what it’s about. II. What you see is a compensation for what you don't see. III. All is metaphor. James Hollis
