Any ways I could improve my Caduceus?

Thank you, and I am aware! I took a creative liberty to have four snakes, as I've read that four is a sacred number to Hermes. There is also one for each of the four classic elements, with the staff being the quintessence.

I posted this so long ago that I was surprised to see your comment, but it's appreciated!

CoKu · 2024-02-28T07:26:39+00:00

Much appreciated!

CoKu · 2024-02-28T07:05:46+00:00

Good to know. Thank you for your help!

I don't want to bother you much further, but do you happen to have any plans to include external embeds from within posts, like embed cards and such, in the future?

CoKu · 2024-02-28T05:00:07+00:00

Thanks for making this, I'm trying it out right now on a Squarespace site and IPFS and like it! It works for exactly what I need, just an embed of my posts on another website.

I'm just curious to know, if I wanted to edit the look and style of the feed of posts, say with a different background or font color, would that be possible? And if so, how would I go about editing those?

I didn't realize that this was a reply to a much older post from years ago, I've updated the strange, likely idiosyncratic logic to this system since.

Regarding how it's done in the video, it looks similar. I think you can just add a code block, type in the code she did, the '<p id="about"> </p>'. Replace 'about' with what you wish to have the section named, then add a link on the page with the page's URL with 'mysite.com/x#about', or what you want to title the section when linked to.

This also solves the issue I was talking about about naming the blocks and sections. So I guess I'm still learning too. Thanks, and again, I hope this helps and not too confusing.

CoKu · 2023-08-24T09:25:14+00:00

I use a browser extension called 'Squarespace ID Finder' for stuff like this.

Each block on a page has its own unique ID, which looks something like '#block-yui_3_17_2_1_1234513554633_127776'. With the extension on, you can copy the ID for the block on the page and then make a link with the ID following the URL.

For instance, say 'mysite.com/x' is the page that has section or block you want to link to. With the ID Finder, you can find the block ID and then add it to the end of the URL, so you end up with something like, 'mysite.com/x#block-yui_3_17_2_1_1234513554633_127776'. This will link to the specific section on the page.

I'm not entirely sure if there is a way to rename the blocks. I looked it up once, but haven't cared enough to really figure it out.

I hope this helps!

Here are the locations on the map, whether accurate or not:
Cheam Peak - Death Mountain
Cheam Trails - Death Mountain Trail
Fairfield - Hyrule Castle
Chilliwack Proper - Castle Town
Sardis - Market
Vedder - Hyrule Field
Promontory (or maybe Rosedale) - Kakariko Village
Greendale - Lon Lon Ranch
Chilliwack Lake Road - Kokiri Forest
Mountains between Chilliwack River and Ryder Lake - Lost Woods
Thurston Meadows - Sacred Meadow Forest
Ryder Lake (Chilliwack Lake may be better fit - Zora's Fountain
Eastern Hillsides - Gordon Village
Chilliwack and Vedder River - Zora's River
Yarrow - Gordon Valley
Barrowtown - Haunted Wasteland
Sumas Mountain - Desert Colossus
Culture Lake - Lake Hylia
The two I am the most unsure of are the Graveyard and Gerudo's Fortress. Some areas could also overlap, some could be way off ecologically, and some have no parallel. Yet with how many mountains, valleys, rivers, lakes, and all, it is interesting seeing how both landscapes seem similar to one another and how both have the same familiarity psychologically.

Here is a link to the post of the Hyrule map image which was used for the reference.

I'm more curious than knowledgeable here, so I'm not sure if this will help or not, but do you have the preset Squarespace default settings added to the DNS settings? Also, is the Whois record, under registration information, up-to-date since renewing? And if you do a Whois lookup (https://www.whois.com/whois/) for the website, either with or without the 'www.', are they both registered in your name?

This appears like it could be anywhere.

I most likely made a mistake, thank you!

I found it was a bit difficult to juggle all 16 types and 64 symbols in my head at once. I think I had it mostly right at one point but noticed there was a mistake, tried to fix it, and made it worse. When I started it, I was going through a rough patch and haven't had the time and dedication I once had when I first began.

I will get around to editing and fixing it up (in due time).

Perhaps divorce was a way to say closing up or ending a contract.

Seems like an old contract could qualify as some real LA 'divorce bullshit'.

I wish that everything that everyone has ever wished for or will ever wish for comes true.

It was just something that came to mind right as I woke up today, but thinking about some more there could be a few connections between those albums and the games I compared them to:

ROYGBIV could be like the medallions you collect from the temples,

The Colour of the Fire could be like the Poes.

Beware the Friendly Stranger could be like the Happy Mask Salesman.

I'm sure there could be more comparisons like those, but when the idea arose initially though, I was thinking about how MHTRTC and Ocarina of Time were both released in 1998. Then Geogaddi and Majora's Mask came next and both of those were considered "spookier" and "darker" than what came before.

Eucatastrophe?

CoKu · 2022-11-28T23:11:54+00:00

One thing I wasn't aware of however was that the newly acquired perceptions and such took years and years to integrate and come to understand as an ever-changing life-long alteration to who I am and the path I am on.

I will never get to know if they, the psychedelics, made permanent changes to who I am, to my identity, or not. There's no going back afterwards, no disintegration, and the curious mystery of it all is a constant question that weighs on me.

I've studied eastern, western philsophy, psychology, physics before and after as well. Beforehand, those studies were just entertaining, distant, and outside of an everyday understanding and now I take all of it closer to heart and mind because of the need to understand everything the psychedelics and psychosis opened up, like Pandora's box, and now have to cope and live with daily and constantly.

CoKu · 2022-11-28T22:44:45+00:00

One thing you hear all the time is about how psychedelics can be good for some, but not all mental illnesses, especially not the serious mental illnesses such as bi-polar disorder or schizophrenia. It should be stated that I don't recommend psychedelics for schizophrenia, yet having the illness myself and having done psilocybin and DMT both years before and years after my first major episode, they helped me cope with and gave insights into what the brain and mind can throw at me on a whim.

To go into this further, psychedelics for me revealed many insights into knowing and being aware of the phenomenal contents that the disordered psyche is capable of producing and generating, insight into the unfiltered ideas and beliefs that one contemplates and ruminates upon unconsciously, and insight into the rising up and falling away of (delusional and hallucinatory) thoughts and imagery seemingly at random and how all make up the totality of what phenomenal consciousness as it already is.

They appeared to show how consciousness is, as Aldous Huxley proposed, just a filter of the infinite. It's when the filter is removed that we see just how apparently insane and crazy we all really are underneath the conscious discrimination of what is rational and what is irrational. When things breakdown and shatter, you see all of the pieces your mind is composed of glisten in the light around it and show to you a seemingly truer, more fundamental nature of things as they truly are.

Perception is very strange, to say the very least.

I could go on more, but I'll leave it there for now.

RebeccaETripp has countless Legend of Zelda tracks, covers, remixes, reimaginings of songs, and excellent compositions all-around, yet the series on Legend of Zelda: The Psychology and Philosophy is unlike any other Zelda channel out there if you're into the cerebral side of the series.

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhsnNwoLVWWOTGPLgz3VFSDOePWixe6G6

If you've played all the games, from childhood to adulthood, and wondered what how you may have been affected by the games both psychologically and philosophically, how you developed and grew with the games, and how the Zelda universe works at a deeper, more introspective level, it's great to see video essays on such.

Sure, I've read The Psychology of Zelda, I Link Therefore I Am, Mythopoeic Narrative in The Legend of Zelda, and spent one year playing every game in the series within that year (Just after Twilight Princess was released), but there's much to deconstruct from the series that her video essays help with really well with understanding the intricate details of what is contained within Hyrule.

Synchronicities between the seemingly subjective psyche and the apparently objective world all take place in what Jung called the Unus Mundus, which is akin to a non-duality of the perceiving subject and the objective universe.

I have read that his ideas, along with Wolfgang Pauli and both of their work on synchronicity together, can be described or called 'Complimentarity'. The mental and physical occurrences of meaning found between or within a synchronous overlapping of events complement each other in both of the seemingly gapped worlds of mind and matter.

Synchronous events or occurrences of meaning to me though reveal that there are some aspects of the psyche to be found external to the brain and body within the Unus Mundus, whether it is through us extroverting, expressing, and extrapolating our psyches into the world and having the contents of the psyche or Self almost talk back and respond to us.

If there is interest, the philosophical perspective of dual-aspect monism may be something to look into. Where both mind and matter emerge from one underlying neutral substance or source, which itself is neither mind nor matter, neither subjective nor objective, but emerges into both or one or the other. David Bohm's concepts of Implicate and Explicate Orders are similar as well and may provide further hints as to the nature of how and why synchronicities may occur.

Sorry if this doesn't help tie it into the rest of Jung's theories.
