The flight is to Dalaman. I've got ten days, so I'm hoping to travel to Fethiye, then on to the tree houses in Olympos for a few days, would like to visit Cappadocia also if I have the time, will see how it goes.
Indeed...but the real job description of the ego according to Jung, is to stand in a dialogic relationship with the Self and the world. Ego is to remain open, as conscious as possible and willing to negotiate. He called this the "Auseinandersetzung."
The ego, our conscious sense of who we are, is an affectively charged cluster of replicated experience. It is the central complex of consciousness whose boundaries are fluid, malleable and easily violated. We need ego to conduct the business of conscious life, to mobilise psychic energy and direct it towards goals, to maintain a degree of self consistency and continuity so we can move from day to day, context to context. But the central project of the ego is security which, understandably, stands over against the surge of unconscious material from within, and encounters the massive the massive onslaught of energies from without. Given this project, this ineluctable, obsessive desire for security, the ego becomes a nervous nelly running about the parlour of life, picking up the clutter, dusting everywhere, making it even more uncomfortable to visit. From the ego's narrow view of the world, the task is security, dominance and the cessation of conflict.

It's another beautiful day here, the hound is sat on the windowsill watching the world go by. Maybe take him out into the sunshine soon.
