Free association (part 25)


when i first started this blog i named at as "psychiatry for all"...the naming came into my mind in seconds and that was it. after a year i changed the name into "colors of mind" and that change was impulsive too. i generally accept my impulsivity in such situations like when naming something. another episode of impulsivity drived me to change the title into "skies"....
skies, why that name? i still don't know really....
by the title i think i meant to let you feel what you can see in the skies. it is like a mirror. it is a mirror. mirror of what? earth? us? God? heavens? i think it is better to say that skies are a mirror of our imagination. you look at the sky and see what you imagine. so, is my blog about imagination? mirrors?
have you heard that song of beatles of "imagine"? you might say i am a dreamer but i am not the only one, i hope someday you will join us, and the world will be as one, imagine there's no countries, it isn't hard to do......

mirrors. mirrors are metioned in a misterious way in the Sumerian and Babylonian writings.... was it linked to witchcraft? I am not sure but it was linked to some magical things.... mirrors...they are so much used by Iraqi poets... their peotry is not that clear for me.... my first contraversy when I was learning about loosening of association as a morbid phenomenon of psychosis is that it looks like poetry...
Do you like organisation? why i don't like it? i am little messy? if Freud is here reading what I am writing he would tell me that I am fixated at some psychosexual stage of development, and if his student (i think Karl Abraham) here he will add something to it....they got a great imagination..... imagine all the people....thinking like Abraham woho waho woho....
I don't like to make any agenda...I think it is not like Freud had thought....it is just that Baghdad is disorganised, and you cannot expect what will happen during a day, so how come you can expect what will happen in a month or so ????...
So.....can you see why I chosed Skies as a name? it is more open, more circular...oh yeah circular...something without a begining and no end...circular....cannot be "ORGANIZED" into something liniar....I remember somebody had said that western thinking is linear while eastern thinking is circular....well....it was a good saying that may stay in my mind but not so true....

Dear Sami

Imagine (by John Lennon after the Beatles disolved) is one of my all ime favourite songs, Imagine no possesions...nothing to die or kill for....

Interesting analysis of Skies I had thought it represented freedom, freedom to fly, to float, to roam, freedom from walls, freedom from cages, freedom from gravity .....Imagine.

I thought it meant that we all share the same sky no matter where we are. The skies and he stars connect us, reminding us we are no different from each other. We all have the same wants and dreams for peace and happiness. It also connects us with our past as our forefathers also looked at the same skies and stars....tis timeless..
