Ahistoria
Ahstoria is less an ignorance of history than a state of mind, of being. Perhaps non-being. Certainly unconsciously being. For the ideas in which we live and move and have our being have their own story in which we “are”, but not knowing it at all, or even recognizing it, people live in an ahistoric state.of mind. A state of mind which is like a condition of being.
And I continue after decades to extract my mind, my self, my being from this condition of mass ahistoria.
The fact is is that most people do not live inside of history, they live in their houses. Better stated: they are not aware that they live in history, though they do; but they are aware that they live in their houses.

Overtime
A compilation of communications to the future by those who felt outside and over their times, and especially the idea of such individuals being outside, above, “over” their time consciously, and aware that others in history also could also have been outside and above their times, and that they might be aware of the others in history being outside and above their time and keeping them in mind. And especially those in the past or future who were aware that they were outside of their times, and that there were others who would’ve thought of others being outside and above their times.

Useless insights
Seeking decades for answers most do not know have questions.
-
True “modern” religious life?
If one can not live (or imagine oneself to be, or believe one is) with God, then one can at least live with the question of God.
-
Individual?
Whether someone is a “true individual” depends on whether they find, whether they have, the determination of their thoughts, words, and deeds, in themselves alone, or from the world, society, and groups around them.

A solid reification, anyone?

Directions
For essentially 50 years, what I soon came to call “my studies” were directed by an experience acquired urgency of necessary theme, related to the important, no, the deepest facts of the past – history – as they manifest in the ongoing present. Now, with hope of influence, and its necessity of tasks receding behind me, I can choose my topics personally.

To a Jungian
Imo:
History is not Psychology. (Or Psyche.) Psychology is not History.
The Self is not all History, nor is History the Self.
(Even among the aristos.)
The History, in fact, the Histories of the Ideas and Beliefs in and experiences and lives of mutimillionfold believers over thousands of years of time in God are not reducible to the Self. certainly not to some conscious manipulative distractions by Cabal/s.
To consider only our “Judeo-Christian” stream of History: for this to be true, one must reject not only for examples Paul, Augustine, Aquinas, Luther, and on and on, but Moses, Jesus, et al. And what of age-old religious texts, art, cathedrals, temples,…
Jungians (for a century or so) turn the World, History, Life, Others,… into a reflection of themselves, hypertrophes of the Self. All the World, all of Nature, all of History — and “God” — are not the Self mistaking projections of Itself.
All humans, the aristos or polloi, live inside “History”.
The History/ies of the World, and the Idea/s of God, be it among the best, the modest, or the worst, and all of the beliefs and rituals and theophanic experiences all throughout the histories of societies throughout time in the World, are not reducible to the Self, and manipulative cabals.
Just simply not. -
Kindergartners
“…wenn er nicht den plan gehabt hätte, sich auf dieser materiellen Unterlage eine Pflanzschule für eine Welt von Geistern zu gründen” — Goethe-Eckermann, Sonntag, 11 März 1832
Wherein realistically, most are still kindergartners. Including most people I know.

I have taken in the last years to saying how I had moved from the incredible lightness of being in California to Russia.
