Dear Sara and Club<br>you wrote:<br>&gt; HI All,
especially those I talked to earlier this year. <br>&gt; We
all been doing other things, and this site remains as
a graveyard<br>&gt; in the memory of Pirsig...
Anyone want to share what they've been up<br>&gt;
to...or where they are on line now? I have been on a few
Jungian<br>&gt; sites, Jung Page Forum under pseudonym 'Yansa'. I
am reading Clarissa<br>&gt; Estes at the moment...
and she started the Jungian interest for me<br>&gt;
this spring with her 'run with the wolves' book. I
have started trying<br>&gt; to further access my own
'shadow' material and integrate it back into<br>&gt; my
conscious life. THis is often painful to attempt as there
is so<br>&gt; much negativity there - so many angry
'monsters' ... but it's a noble<br>&gt; quest... and I am
hopeful... Hope you are all well and finding hope<br>&gt;
and love in your lives... May Pirsigian notions of
GOOD follow and<br>&gt; accompany you all, Sara
<br><br>Shame on me and everybody else for not checking out the
Pirsig <br>Club site, my excuse is that I have resigned
the telephone line to <br>my studio place (to
concentrate better on painting) and only <br>connect in the
weekends and ....well, the Yahoo site got <br>neglected.
However this a Pirsig memorial is a bit premature, over
<br>at the moq.org site the discussion goes like
wildfire - naturally <br>spurred on by the recent
happenings - yet not abating after more <br>that five years
and that must be some Internet record. <br><br>What
we have been up to? I act the terror of our local
newspapers <br>(2) reader's letter column trying to get the
MoQ to bear on the world <br>affairs, but have to be
very careful and grit my mental teeth as it's <br>next
to impossible without going back to square one at
every other <br>sentence. But who wants to be told
anything these days? I think <br>we are living in an era
much like the time when the old gods lost <br>their
power and scores of prophets filled the paths. But I
think there <br>will emerge one at last and you know
who!<br><br>The Clarissa Estes book and Jung interest I have no
opinion about <br>but you certainly find it rewarding. At
times I participate at a Colin <br>Wilson (another
Yahoo Club) site and CW often refers to Jung in <br>his
works. To relax from to much philosophy I read the books
from <br>my childhood that I now try to find if as
good in their original <br>language ...it's only
English I master to the degree of telling and <br>have
just finished Dickens "Great Expectations" and is now
into <br>Stevenson's "Kidnapped". Being a Scot you
probably know that <br>book and its settings? It's
supposed to be from the 1750ties and <br>wow, they were
different times. Poor David Balfour has just got <br>ashore
from the shipwreck off Mull and is about to rejoin his
<br>renegade friend - there were some political upheaval at
that time.<br>Enough chatting.<br>How is Yansa ...the
schooner?<br>Bo
