LIFE OF PI! the archetype – THE SHADOW?

does anyone know about the archetype of the shadow found in LIFE OF PI?!

thanks xxxxoxo

The shadow, the amoral remnant of our instinctual animal past.

Diney movie that falls into this category?

…texts rely on archaic patterns for their meaning.
…protagonist moves from a state of innocence to experience.
…familiar (if unfriendly) environment to one if danger and "descent"…
…if successful, ascend again wiser and with a better understanding of the world.
…archetypal critics focus on intertextual connections

i need a movie or story preferably disney in which a main character goes throuugh all that

Hercules?

Why are atheists afraid to let go of their limiting belief system and enter into reality?

it is impossible that the grandeur that surrounds us and our being just came about from an unintelligent domain, and this has nothing to do with man mad religion.

it is impossible that god came from nothing or made himself just came about from an unintelligent domain, and this has nothing to do with man mad religion.

Dream interpretation: Somebody who knows about dreams please answer me?? :-D?

I am 22 years old/ Female psychology student and most of my time i spend with meditating and reading books. according to what i have learned so far i do believe on my own Karmic pattern and my Psychic levels and it dose affecting on all my thoughts and my own behaviors in my present life,
(i assume my dreams too?). I have often seen many dreams with water/liquid/mermaids and swimming pools/oceans and rivers. Most of them were naked and sinking/floating/diving (just like a new born baby) or making love/kissing under the water.and it feels more like a fish and even feel like breathing inside the water. some times its like i am sinking to the depth of the water base but theres no end in it and all around me is dark and so clod.However for some reason i have this feminine vibrations inside me since i am a child and i see dreams with kissing and feeling up with my girlfriends and those dreams are really mind blowing.
it would be glad if any one can explain me the connections between this dreams and why dose it happens and i would really appreciate your support.
Thank you!

you have mind blowing dreams about kissing and feeling up your girlfriends…

my psychic reading is that you would really like to kiss and feel up your girlfriends

I am doing a paper on Hans Christian Andersen’s "The Little Mermaid, I need help picking a thesis?

This thesis has to make use of mythical and archetypal patterns or Freudian or traditional symbolism

Compare and contrast it with the themes from Goethe’s Faust. Faust gives up the power over his immortal soul out of love, whereas the Little Mermaid tries to gain an immortal soul, although giving up her longevity, out of love. This can be taken very far.

this changed a lil from last time because i’ve relistened/listened to a few albums.
they’re albums, not songs.

I like where you placed "Enter The Wu-Tang", It’s a classic but I don’t think it is a Top10 even 20. On the other hand, "Low and Theory" should be much higher (closer to the top) on your list (or on mine I gotta say), in my opinion it is one of the most close to the concept of perfection, as well as "Deltron 3030" (67th quite low).

61 The Cold Vein (higher)
85 I Phantom (higher)
86 Death Certificate (higher)

4 Reasonable Doubt (lower)
10 Resurrection (lower)
17 Tical (a lot lower)

"Hell On Earth" should’t be there, the same for "Blueprint" I hate it. Nice list though.

How do you get rid of limiting beliefs?

I surrendur such beliefs to almighty and ask an excuse.

Do you think I could make it as an author? These are the 7 plays that I want to write?

1. The 3 Magicians [Productivity]
–> 1 magician symbolizes spiritual intelligence (symbolizing height or stature)
–> 1 magician symbolizes emotional intelligence (symbolizing width or magnitude / duration)
–> 1 magician symbolizes intellectual intelligence (breadth which symbolizes mortality but in actuality it should be depth which symbolizes degree)
This marks an unwritten conflict between how one accumulates information and how they understand it
–> 4th magician who does appear in the play symbolizes physical action
–> The 3 magicians try to perform magic spells to change the emperor’s life for the better,
but none of their magic tricks work…
–> The emperor believes it’s because they are arguing with each other
–> But the reasl reason is because they did not call upon the 4th magician symbolizing action who unifies the 3 magicians together

2. Paradise of Nod [Innocence]
–> About lost innocence
–> Written in archaic biblical form and language
–> In this story all of nature is a script
–> The insect speaks of "nervous system sprouts out vines of tingling emotions."
"each skeleton’s eyes protruded through the shadows like they once knew."
"Creeping along like scared insects."
–> The trees speak
–> the spirituaist pagan absorbs the energy that seeps from these different entities in the forest
–> He / She is being trained by an ancient sorceress in the art of warfare and warcraft

3. Bring Sum wad Kingdoms Cum Laude [Surrender]
[Self-Justification]
–> The kingdom of the world is being sacrificed to oblivion
–> There is a hidden box with the name of all the people needed to build a secret battle ship outside
–> They must assemble the correct people together to build this secret ship before it is too late
–> They are given cues about where the box is hidden and the cues are to be interpreted according to their own oracles
–> A Greek who speaks in Greek language interprets the hidden riddles
–> An egyptian who speaks in the tongues of ancient egypt interpets the riddles
–> A babylonian who speaks in the tongues of babylon interprets the riddle
–> A persian who speaks in the tongues of persia interprets the riddles
–> A chaldean who speaks in the tongues of chaldea interprets the riddles
–> they each interpret the cues according to their own oracles to finish the unwritten matieral but
it’s their beliefs and bias that prevent them from interpreting the cues correctly
–> Every time they make an error in interpretation the box is hidden deeper and becomes harder to find
–> It marks the struggles of somebody who justifies himself by denying truths that are difficult to grasp
and how they are doomed to interpret perfection through an unclean vessel

4. Mixing the Perfect Maker [Purity]
(Vanity)
–> Intoxications of Love
–> Archetypes of love
–> Steretypes of Love
–> Principles of Love
–> Bartender who mixes drinks and each drink symbolizes an emotional indulgence
–> Then one discusses the problems, and conflicts that arise from each emotional indulgence
–> There is a disabled hedge fund trader who describes love in algebraic terms, where each greek goddess symbolizes a different term
–> Human beings are described by the art and principles of design
–> The hedge fund trader analyzes the conflicts of each independent interpretation and the logical and wisdom fallacies of each inconotation

5. Church of Livestock [Honesty]
–> About the ecclesiastical issues that effect religious corruption
–> Read a traditional catholic style book on religious corruption to get ideas
–> How a self-proclaimed hypocrites views himself and how he tries to change
–> The story is told like characters on a chess game
–> To checkmate the the black king, is to tell others the truth willingly
–> To checkmake the white king is to tell others the truth unwillingly
–> A man struggles with himself and with others to retain the perfect image and tell the honest truth

6. Realm of Glee and Idolatry [Egocentrism]
–> The anarchal chaos of the aztecs and the incas is explained
–> humans become barbaric and insiduous in their worship of one another
–> People behave like animals and view the world the way job does
–> The writins are inspiried by the teachigns of job
–> Every time they engage in an act of wickedness, they are punished…
–> The nemesis of their punishment causes them to be turned from their wicked ways
–> They continue to face punishment over and over again until they are cured from their wickedness

7. Art of Darkness [Generosity]
–> Confessions of Paul on why he became an apostle
–> His legal career
–> His brutalized childhood
–> The sexual pleasures he gets from hurting others
–> The car

YES. very much so, I kind of fancy two in particular though.

Paradise of Nod
and
Art of Darkness

Please try and see your ambitions to fruition, so I can witness the plays in the (hopefully) near future.

i think i have a connection with this man.please help?

i had a small glimpse of this man seven years ago when i was a kid(maybe 12 YEARS OLD and hes 30 and i am 19).i hardly saw him properly and didn’t even know his name but after years i saw him again and at that exact moment i blurted out that he’s the man i saw years ago and he was the man whom i saw years ago!
but after his arrival in my life i ve noticed that whenever i choose a boyfriend it unexpectedly gets over in just months.i look 4 long term relationships but each time the affair gets over in 4-5 months even though every things smoothly between my bfs.those bfs turn villains for me and my interest goes back to this man and i remain single.and this is happening ever since he came into my life.pple say that i ve some karmic connection.what do you think?

It’s quite normal for a 19 year old to have relationships that only last 4 or 5 months, as teenagers are generally not ready for commitment, and are still changing a lot. If you have been harbouring an obsession with a stranger then that would certainly make it difficult for any normal guy to life up to your dream stranger’s standards. It’s not karma, it’s just easier to imagine that things will be perfect with someone you dont know at all.

Should I Keep Writing?

This is a VERY rough draft, completely unedited so the grammar may be off. RATE 1-10

I woke up in a state of panic. I could feel beads of sweat forming on the back of my neck. It took me a moment to realize that it was a dream, not reality. I sat upright in my bed for a moment, churning over the quickly fading details of my nightmare in my mind before getting up and walking over to my bathroom. I turned on the light and squinted, waiting for my eyes to adjust. I leaned over the sink, and looked in the mirror at my tired face. When was the last time I slept through the night? It must have been weeks, and it was obvious. My usually hazel eyes had faded to a muted brown color, accompanied by dark bags. The discolored puffy lids that hung over my bloodshot eyes contrasted with my pale skin and freckles, only making my sleep deprivation more obvious.

I turned on the faucet and let the water run for a few seconds, absentmindedly running my fingers through the stream. Leaning in, I splashed the cool water onto my face, and then turned off the faucet. I grabbed a hand towel from under the sink and patted my face dry. After standing in the fluorescent light of the bathroom for a few more seconds I turned around, flipped the light switch back down, and walked over to my bed

I lay down and closed my eyes tightly, as if doing so would somehow help me concentrate. I kept seeing green eyes. They were perfectly in focus, but their owner was not. They looked like two emeralds suspended in a shadow. That wasn’t the scary part of dream though, more like the only comfort in it. After another few moments of thought I remembered that there was a scream, it averted the emerald eyes from me… left me alone. I quickly pulled out my journal hoping that if I wrote down what I could remember, more would come. As I wrote, small details began to reappear in my mind, and the faded memory became more in focus. After I wrote until no more new memories came I put my journal back in my nightstand drawer and lay back down. I stared up at the speckled white ceiling trying to remember more. I closed my eyes again and started to see the fuzzy remnants of a room.

It was a pale yellow room, not unlike my own, but instead of a TV, night table, and modest queen sized bed inside it, there was a huge white canopy bed with no other furniture. Next to the canopy, stood a blurry figure; the one with the green eyes, but the figure wasn’t the only person in the room. I could hear someone breathing behind me, but for some reason, I didn’t turn around. That was when I woke up.

I figured I might as well stay awake since my dreams wouldn’t let me sleep anyway. I got up off my bed and walked out of my bedroom into the hallway leading to my tiny insufficient kitchen. Passing the electric stove and fridge I looked straight ahead at the computer. The “office” was just a tiny alcove in the kitchen that my mom designated as the “computer area.” She had fit a clear glass desk into the nook, but instead of a wall behind it, there was a large window that overlooked the backyard. The only item on the desk was my massive, outdated computer. I contemplated chucking it in exchange for a laptop, but that thought was fleeting. I looked up past the computer and stared out the window. I couldn’t see anything, but I still stared, as if I could.

I pressed the glowing on button on my computer, watched it change from red to electric green, and waited for the screen to awaken from sleep. I opened up my browser and clicked on my email. No new messages. It wasn’t surprising; I had only last checked it a few hours ago. I opened up my music player and turned on a slow melodic song. Ignoring my empty inbox I typed dream symbolism into the search bar at the top of the page. After about an hour or so of reading about archetypes and the inner-self I gave up and resorted to watching TV. I walked back through the kitchen and into the living room. I groped the wall trying to find the light switch in the darkness and turned it on. Even though I’d lived there for two years I was always a little shocked by the red walls. After a moment of adjustment to the new light I walked lazily over to the fire place and turned on the gas. I watched the inside left corner of the fake wood waiting for the gas to ignite. As it did, quickly sweeping from the left corner over to the right with a sizzle, I began to feel its heat emanating from the barrier of glass in front of it. I decided not to watch TV. I was content with my warm little fire so I lay down on my back, put my feet up to the glass, and tried to unwind. My tired mind began to daydream and I relaxed my muscles in the warmth of the fire. I placed my hands behind my neck and tilted my head into my left palm toward the balcony.
There were the eyes.

10. That was amazing.
Much better than any of the books I have been reading lately!
I wish you would publish this so I could read more!
