Marilyn Monroe The Final Days (Part 8)

The Legend of Marilyn Monroe (3/6)


So the crazy Tom Cruise is really the big friend of all these great girls... Marilyn, Judy Garland....
:)

The Legend of Marilyn Monroe (4/6)



So she was beautiful, not only outside.
She died 19 months after the divorce; A. Miller, married one month after the divorce.

Both wanted kids.
...
"He is a better writer then a husband".
She was so alone in the world... then those difficult things that happened, including her not being able to have a child was more difficult to take then otherwise. Can a man take that? Love is the greatest warrior act after all. Real love, I mean.

Ok.... those pills and alcohol were a path to destruction....

From this other wife, he had two children one of then with Down syndrome. The child was dumped in an institution, with no relating to the parents, at the father's demand.

BBC ON THIS DAY | 24 | 1961: End of the road for Monroe and Miller

When i was a small child i had a classmate with the Down syndrome. Are there different levels of the illness, although we don't hear about that, generally speaking? He had it very lightly and he was beautiful,  and he could learn. Only my teacher was horrible to him. I dare to say that that is pretty disgusting of Miller; he had enough good and beautiful things and people around him, in order to have love to give to the boy. He had money i suppose, too, so they could have had lots of assistance and help. Bah.

JFK on Mormons

O Anel de Gyges I Os poderes mágicos e espirituais dos chefess

Algumas das coisas que não fazem parte da programação mental dos cerca de 50 jovens americanos mormon que todos os dias correm as ruas e as casas das pessoas mais pobres, idosas, sós ou menos cultas de Lisboa desde há uns 30 anos:

I

Eu sou santo e tenho poder.
Não eu não sou santo
porque outros também não mas tenho poder tenho sim o poder do silencio
de oferecer
o deserto
a confusão
não me analiso
não relaciono
as coisas
os fenómenos
os acontecimentos
que tenho eu a ver com as guerras
(a não ser que não foram elas os guias do bem?
não foram elas desde sempre
tempos imemoráveis
a actividade nobre entre nobres?)
eu não quero guerra
mas não observo
que têm as guerras a ver comigo
como ajo no dia a dia
que provoca guerras
como firo
como as feras.

(os detalhes são relevantes... e divertidos ou interessantes). Está bem feito e o último testemunho é especialmente significativo, Lucy, 49.45.
Ele (J.Smith) prometeu à rapariga (que não queria a poligamia se não recebesse uma revelação divina), que se ela rezasse, receberia essa revelação. E ela rezou e recebeu - e de que maneira ! - essa revelação; na mesma noite.

Telling of the tales of our souls


“The overwhelming difficulty of communicating soul in talk becomes crushingly real when two persons sit in two chairs, face to face and knee to knee as in an analysis with Jung. Then we realize what a miracle it is to find the right words, words that carry soul accurately, where thought, image, and feeling interweave. Then we realize that soul can be made on the spot simply through speech. Such talk is the most complex psychic endeavor imaginable-which says something about why Jung’s psychology was a cultural advance over Freud’s talking cure, free autistic associations on the couch.

All modern therapies which claim that action is more curative than words and which seek techniques other than talk (rather than in addition to it) are repressing the most human of all faculties-the telling of the tales of our souls. These therapies may be curative of the child in us who has not learned to speak or the animal who cannot, or a spirit daimon that is beyond words because it is beyond soul. But only continued attempts at accurate soul-speech can cure our speech of its chatter and restore it to its first function, the communication of soul.
Soul of bulk and substance can be evoked by words and expressed in words; for myth and poetry, so altogether verbal and “fleshless,” nonetheless resonate with the deepest intimacies of organic existence. A mark of imaginal man is the speech of his soul, and the range of his speech, its self-generative spontaneity, its precise subtlety and ambiguous suggestion, its capacity, as Hegel said, “to receive and reproduce every modification of our ideational faculty,” can be supplanted neither by the technology of communication media, by contemplative spiritual silence, nor by physical gestures and signs. The more we hold back from the risk of speaking because of semantic anxiety that keeps soul in secret incommunicado, private and personal, the greater grows the credibility gap between what we are and what we say, splitting psyche and logos.
The more we become tied by linguistic self-consciousness, the more we abdicate the ruling principle of pscyhological existence…Man is half-angel because he can speak. The more we distrust speech in therapy or the capacity of speech to be therapeutic, the closer we are to an absorption into the fantasy of the archetypal subhuman, and the sooner the archetypal barbarian strides into the communication ruins of a culture that refused eloquence as a mirror of its soul.”
~James Hillman, Revisioning Psychology, pp 29-30.
