Desperately Seeking Harmonious Resonance

Filed under: General — Tags: — m759 @ 11:29 am

From a search in this journal for "harmonious" —

Jung —

“Only gradually did I discover what the mandala really is:
‘Formation, Transformation, Eternal Mind’s eternal recreation.’*
And that is the self, the wholeness of the personality,
which if all goes well is harmonious,
but which cannot tolerate self-deceptions.”

Faust , Part Two, trans. by Philip Wayne (Harmondsworth,
England, Penguin Books Ltd., 1959), p. 79. The original:

                   … Gestaltung, Umgestaltung, 
  Des ewigen Sinnes ewige Unterhaltung….

Jung’s “Formation, Transformation” quote is from
the realm of the Mothers (Faust Part Two, Act 1, Scene 5:
A Dark Gallery).

The speaker is Mephistopheles.

Confabulation

I recently read that the hallucinations of Large Language Models
are more properly called "confabulation." In this, they are not alone.
