[kj] OT: Jungian dream analysis

[Brendan]

There actually IS a direct link to an archetype in the Jungian sense,
suprised none of you other hippies noticed.

Robert Anton Wilson covers this archetype in Cosmic Trigger Vol 1: Final
Secret of the Illuminati, a brilliant read that is a lot more and a lot
less out there than the title suggests.

He calls the archetype Mescalito, from memory (book is in storage
otherwise I'd scan or transcribe the page where he goes into it), the
entity that often appears to people under the influence of Peyote (hence
Mescalin hence Mescalito), and psilocybin mushrooms. He says the archetype
comes through in popular culture in other forms such as the Leprechaun, Dr
Spock (!), Peter Pan...from memory. Mischevious and playful, as in your
dream.

Here's a sample from the book:

Wilson is a must read if you're into the esoteric, conspiracies, science
esp physics, politics, sociology, philosophy, economics, utopianism,
theology, Crowley, Discordianism, Leary, altered states of consciousness,
Joyce...the breadth and depth of his writing is pretty amazing.
