“Even the least knowledge of things superior is of greater value than the most extensive knowledge of things

inferior”

Thomas Aquinas

Creed

Page 5: Happy Relationships Presentation

When dreaming I’m guided to another worldTime and time again

At sunrise I fight to stay asleep‘Cause I don’t want to leave the comfort of this place

‘Cause there’s a hunger, a longing to escapeFrom the life I live when I’m awake

So let’s go thereLet’s make our escapeCome on, let’s go thereLet’s ask can we stay

Page 6: Happy Relationships Presentation

Can you take me higher?To the place where blind men see

Can you take me higher?To the place with golden streets.

Page 7: Happy Relationships Presentation

Although I would like our world to changeIt helps me to appreciate

Those nights and those dreamsBut, my friend, I’d sacrifice all those nights

If I could make the Earth and my dreams the sameThe only difference is

To let love replace all our hateSo let’s go there

Let’s make our escapeCome on, let’s go thereLet’s ask can we stay

“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them”

Page 14: Happy Relationships Presentation

“…thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee”

Page 15: Happy Relationships Presentation

“And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the

field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.”

Sumerians Adam and Eve

Page 17: Happy Relationships Presentation

They were the first to write laws and codes, the first to establish an educational system, the first to develop a sense of community, the first to

establish an organized medical concept, the first to develop a political system, the first to develop a numeric system, the first to develop an economic system,

and the first civilization to develop a concept of religion and psychology. They built the first temples and invented the religious concept of the tower,

the symbolic link between man and God, heaven and earth. This tower, known as a ziggurat is Sumer’s most significant contribution to religious

architecture.

Page 18: Happy Relationships Presentation

Many of the concepts from the Old Testament have their roots from these people. They were the first to write about the creation of the universe, the creation of man, the story of Adam and Eve, the Flood, the story of Cain and Abel, the concept of the personal God, the story of the Tower of Babel embodied in the symbol of

the ziggurat, and death and the nether world.

“a sweet word is everybody’s friend” “a loving heart builds the home, a hating heart destroys the home” “it’s not the heart which leads to enmity, it’s the tongue which leads to enmity ““into an open mouth a fly enters” “friendship lasts a day, kinship lasts forever” “build like a lord-live like a slave, build like a slave-live like a lord” “don’t pick it now, later it will bear fruit” “hand to hand-a man’s house is built, stomach to stomach a man’s house is destroyed” “poorly fed-grandly living” “marry a wife according to your choice, have a child as your heart desires”

The Waltz of Love

Page 28: Happy Relationships Presentation

Dana came into the room. She stood beside me, and we made eye contact. I mouthed my first lucid words to her: ‘Maybe we should let me go.’ Dana started crying. She said, ‘I am only

going to say this once: I will support whatever you want to do, because this is your life, and your decision. But I want you to know that I’ll be with you for the long haul, no matter what.’

Then she added the words that saved my life: ‘You’re still you. And I love you.’

Page 29: Happy Relationships Presentation

If she had looked away or paused or hesitated even slightly, or if I had felt there was a sense of her being-being what?-noble, or fulfilling some obligation to me, I don’t know if I could have

pulled through. Because it had dawned on me that I was going to be a huge burden to everybody, that I had ruined my life and everybody else’s. Not fair to anybody. The best thing to do

would be to slip away.

Page 30: Happy Relationships Presentation

But what Dana said made living seem possible, because I felt the depth of her love and commitment. I was even able to make a

little joke. I mouthed, ‘This is way beyond the marriage vows-in sickness and in health.’ And she said, ‘I know.’ I knew then and

there that she was going to be with me forever.

Page 31: Happy Relationships Presentation

Red roses were her favorites, her name was also Rose. And every year her husband sent them, tied with pretty bows.

The year he died, the roses were delivered to her door. The card said, ‘Be my Valentine,’ like all the years before. Each year he sent her roses, and the note would always say.

‘I love you more this year, than last year on this day. My love for you will always grow, with every passing year.’

She knew this was the last time that the roses would appear. She thought he ordered roses in advance before this day.

Her loving husband did not know, that he would pass away. He always liked to do things early, way before the time. Then, if he got too busy, everything would work out fine.

Page 32: Happy Relationships Presentation

She trimmed the stems, and placed them in a very special vase. Then, sat the vase beside the portrait of his smiling face. She would sit for hours, in her husband’s favorite chair. While staring at his picture, and the roses sitting there.

A year went by, and it was hard to live without her mate. With loneliness and solitude, that had become her fate.

Then, the very hour, as on Valentines before. The doorbell rang, and there were roses, sitting by her door.

She brought the roses in, and then just looked at them in shock. Then, went to get the telephone, to call the florist shop.

The owner answered, and she asked him, if he would explain. Why would someone do this to her, causing her so much pain?

Page 33: Happy Relationships Presentation

‘I know your husband passed away, more than a year ago.’The owner said, ‘I knew you’d call, and you would want to know.

The flowers you received today, were paid for in advance. Your husband always planned ahead, he left nothing to chance.

There is a standing order, that I have on file down here. And he has paid, well in advance, you’ll get them every year.

There also is another thing, that I think you should know. He wrote a special little card…he did this years ago. Then, should ever I find out that he’s no longer here.

That’s the card…that should be sent, to you the following year.’ She thanked him and hung up the phone, her tears now flowing hard.

Her fingers shaking, as she slowly read the card. Inside the card, she saw that he had written her a note.

Then, as she stared in total silence, this is what he wrote…

Page 34: Happy Relationships Presentation

‘Hello my love, I know it’s been a year since I’ve been gone. I hope it hasn’t been too hard for you to overcome. I know it must be lonely, and the pain is very real.

Or if it was the other way, I know how I would feel. The love we shared made everything so beautiful in life.

I loved you more than words can say, you were the perfect wife. You were my friend and lover, you fulfilled my every need.

I know it’s only been a year, but please try not to grieve. I want you to be happy, even when you shed your tears.

This is why the roses will be sent to you for years. When you get these roses, think of all the happiness.

That we had together, and how both of us were blessed. I have always loved you and I know I always will.

Page 35: Happy Relationships Presentation

But, my love, you must go on, you have some living still. Please…try to find happiness, while living out your days.

I know it is not easy, but I hope you find some ways.

The roses will come every year, and they will only stop. When your door’s not answered, when the florist stops to knock.

He will come five times that day, in case you have gone out.But after his last visit, he will know without a doubt.

To take the roses to the place, where I’ve instructed him. And place the roses where we are, together once again.’

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their

Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness

The Declaration of Independence

Page 45: Happy Relationships Presentation

Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

Page 46: Happy Relationships Presentation

Life = morality = empathy = feelingsLiberty = equality = respect = thoughts

Page 47: Happy Relationships Presentation

“Men who look upon themselves born to reign, and others to obey, soon grow insolent; selected from the rest of mankind their minds are early poisoned by importance; and the world they act

in differs so materially from the world at large, that they have but little opportunity of knowing its true interests, and when they

succeed to the government are frequently the most ignorant and

unfit of any throughout the dominions.”

Page 48: Happy Relationships Presentation

“Our present condition, is, Legislation without law; wisdom without a plan; constitution without a name; and, what is

strangely astonishing, perfect Independence contending for dependence…The mind of the multitude is left at random, and

seeing no fixed object before them, they pursue such as fancy or opinion starts. Nothing is criminal; there is no such thing as

treason; wherefore, every one thinks himself at liberty to act as he pleases.”

“Civil Disobedience”

Page 65: Happy Relationships Presentation

“He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with evil.”

Page 66: Happy Relationships Presentation

“he who lives by the sword will perish by the sword…to meet hate with retaliatory hate would do nothing but intensify the existence of evil in the universe. Hate begets hate, violence

begets violence; toughness begets greater toughness. We must meet the forces of hate with the power of love; we must meet

physical force with soul force.”

Victor Klemperer

I Will Bear Witness

Page 68: Happy Relationships Presentation

At first the bans began with elements of Victor’s professional life, beginning with his exemption from being able to give exams to his dismissal in 1935 from his post. Then the many different aspects of his personal life were slowly taken away from him,

from the owning of cars, to the use of public libraries, cinemas, entering parks to bans on telephones, radios, and typewriters, to curfews, the ban on buying tobacco and cigarettes, and finally to

increased reduction of food rations.

Page 69: Happy Relationships Presentation

After Victor is forced to give up his post at the University he gets a pension of half of his salary, but that too is subject to ever-

increasing Jewish taxes. The Jewish people are only allowed to shop between noon and one during the week and between three and four on Saturday. For relief Victor and Eva build a home outside of Dresden. Hitler even bans the owning of homes,

which forces them to rent their house out and move into a Jewish home back in Dresden.

“Never has the tension between human power and powerlessness, human knowledge and

human stupidity been so overwhelmingly great as now.”

Page 71: Happy Relationships Presentation

“All in all I exist apathetically beyond despair and almost indifference. Tomorrow another appointment

with a moneyman; perhaps a loan can be obtained after all. But my finances are on the point of collapse.”

Page 72: Happy Relationships Presentation

“Repeated heart problems. Tiredness to the point that I fall asleep at my desk, pains in my throat every time I do physical work, sore eyes and blurred sight.”

“My health is very poor. My heart, my eyes. In addition, painful inflammations on head, shoulders. Weeks of torment at the dentist.”

“And always the inflammation or rheumatic pains on my head, in my eyes, on neck, shoulders and arms, always the heart problems.”

Page 73: Happy Relationships Presentation

“A week ago today Evan had to lie down because of a new attack of her foot ailment, since then things have gone very bad. She lies down almost the

whole day, propped up in the dining room-movements always brings back pain-and the trouble has a terrible effect on her state of mind.”

“Evan has gone to bed early. Her nerves failed her once again, which manifests itself in her shivering with cold in the evenings with her teeth really

chattering.”

“An abscess developed very suddenly in Eva’s mouth and had to be lanced today.”

Page 74: Happy Relationships Presentation

“For two weeks Evan has been plagued by headaches, for one week by pains in her mouth, she has developed a nasty abscess on her gums.”

“Eva, already badly worn down by all the moving work, has quite wasted away in recent days.”

“Eva looks very pale and ill. The worst thing is Eva’s declining powers of resistance. Her state of health is

approaching that of genuine melancholy.”

“Eva is lying down a lot-neuralgia in her right arm, suffering greatly.”

Page 75: Happy Relationships Presentation

For a diversion Victor buys a car until Hitler takes away his driving privilege and eventually forces him to sell

the car at scrap value.

Page 76: Happy Relationships Presentation

“Then I was alone, and the loud voices outside merged and could not be separated anymore. Once again I had the feeling ‘cinema’ and with it the memory of countless images, comic and tragic, of the prisoner in his cell. Then I was overwhelmed by the

tragic novelty of the whole thing, the banal perception-all the most profound perceptions are banal, at most one man finds a somewhat more original expression for

it than another man-that we know nothing at all except what we have experienced ourselves. Pity is such a shabby thing. I can torment myself with wanting to feel pity, and yet I don’t succeed. How would I fee, Eva, if you were lying sick, if I knew you

were on the operating table next to me? I wanted to feel pity, and my thoughts strayed, I would have liked to hit myself because of my lack of feelings, and my thoughts

strayed here and there to trifles, became egotistical-I did not really feel pity.”

Page 77: Happy Relationships Presentation

A man in Berlin takes his wife to the hospital so that she can give birth. A picture of Christ hangs over the bed. The man: ‘Nurse, that picture must go, I don’t want the Jewboy to be the first thing

my child sees.’ The nurse: She herself could not do anything about it, she will report it. In the evening he gets a telegram from

the doctor: ‘You have a son. The picture did not need to be removed, the child is blind.’

“If he could get her to remember under hypnosis when, and in what connection, a particular symptom first appeared the symptom would

disappear. In one session, for instance, she traced her inability to drink water back to a time when she saw a little dog drink from a water glass and was

disgusted by the sight; when she came out of the trance she was able o drink and the symptom never returned. Similarly, the talking cure rid her of the

paralysis in her right arm after she recalled that one time, while tending her father, that arm was draped over the back of the chair and became numb, at which point she had had a dream of a black snake approaching and of being

unable to use her arm to fend it off.”

Page 112: Happy Relationships Presentation

Unfortunately for Breuer, he “was uncomfortable with the topic of sexuality and though at the moment of the hysterical pregnancy he had ‘had the key in his hand’

(as Freud later wrote to a friend), he dropped it…[and] in conventional horror took flight”

Page 113: Happy Relationships Presentation

Mainstream Psychology today:

“I do not directly address the question of why men and women are different” John Gray

“In the twenty five years that I have been doing work in the field of human behavior, I have seen few if any genuine relationship conflicts ever get

resolved” Dr. Phil

Page 114: Happy Relationships Presentation

Dr. William James Hypothesizes Thinking

Page 115: Happy Relationships Presentation

“A string of raw facts; a little gossip and wrangle about opinions; a little classification and generalization on the mere descriptive level; a strong prejudice that we have states of mind, and that our brain conditions them; but not a single proposition from which any consequence can casually be deduced. This is no science, it is only

the hope of a science.”

Page 116: Happy Relationships Presentation

“the [biological] view that the mind was nothing but the physical reactions to outside stimuli (is) unworthy of

belief or even debate.”

Page 117: Happy Relationships Presentation

If we think then we have free will

Page 118: Happy Relationships Presentation

The greatest psychologist who ever lived:

Dr. Carl Gustav Jung

Page 119: Happy Relationships Presentation

“I had another important experience…I was taking the long road to school from Klein-Huningen, where we lived, to Basel, when suddenly for a single moment I had the overwhelming impression of having just emerged from a

dense cloud. I knew all at once: now I am myself! It was as if a wall of mist were at my back, and behind that wall there was not yet an “I”. But at this

moment I came upon myself. Previously I had existed, too, but everything had merely happened to me. Now I happened to myself. Now I knew: I am

myself now, now I existed. Previously I had been willed to do this and that; now I willed. This experience seemed to me tremendously important and

new…”

Page 120: Happy Relationships Presentation

“About this time I had a dream which both frightened and encouraged me. It was night in some unknown place, and I was making slow and painful

headway against a mighty wind. Dense fog was flying along everywhere. I had my hands cupped around a tiny light, which threatened to go out at any

moment. Everything depended on my keeping this little light alive. Suddenly I had the feeling that something was coming up behind me. I looked back,

and saw a gigantic black figure following me. But at the same moment I was conscious, in spite of my terror that I must keep my little light going through

night and wind, regardless of all dangers.”

Page 121: Happy Relationships Presentation

“When I awoke I realized at once that the figure was a ‘specter of Brocken,’ my own shadow on the swirling mists, brought into

being by the little light I was carrying. I knew, too, that this little light was my consciousness, the only light I have. My own understanding is the sole treasure I posses, and the greatest. Though infinitely small and fragile in comparison with the

powers of darkness, it is still a light, my only light.”

Page 122: Happy Relationships Presentation

Remembered his first dream from between 3 and 4 years of age. He discovered the notion of the personal God by questioning secular religion. He discovered neurosis at 12 years of age. He cured psychiatric patients. His relationship with Freud reveals the positive psyche confronting the negative one. He and Freud independently discovered the repression mechanism.

Page 123: Happy Relationships Presentation

“I can still recall vividly how Freud said to me, ‘My dear Jung, promise me never to abandon the sexual theory. That is the most essential thing of all. You see, we must

make a dogma of it, an unshakable bulwark.’ He said that to me with the great emotion, in the tone of a father saying, ‘And promise me this one thing, my dear son:

that you will go to church every Sunday.’ In some astonishment I asked him, ‘A bulwark-against what?’ To which he replied, ‘Against the black tide of mud’-and here

he hesitated for a moment, then added-’of occultism.’ First of all, it was the words ‘bulwark’ and ‘dogma’ that alarmed me; for a dogma, that is to say, an undisputable

confession of faith, is set up only when the aim is to suppress doubts once and for all. But that no longer has anything to do with scientific judgment; only with a personal

power drive.”

Page 124: Happy Relationships Presentation

“Freud, who had always made much of his irreligiosity, had now constructed a dogma, or rather, in place of a jealous God whom he had lost, he had substituted another compelling image, that of

sexuality. It was no less insistent, exacting, domineering, threatening, and morally ambivalent than the original one. Just

as the psychically stronger agency is given ‘divine’ or ‘daemonic’ attributes, so the ‘sexual libido’ took over the role of

a…hidden or concealed god.”

Page 125: Happy Relationships Presentation

“The name alone had changed, and with it, of course, the point of view: the lost god had now to be sought

below, not above.”

Page 126: Happy Relationships Presentation

By connecting the development of Gnosticism with Alchemy he discovered the development of myths and symbols. Through these myths and

symbols we learn common sense.

Page 127: Happy Relationships Presentation

He discovered the collective unconscious and the personal unconscious. The collective unconscious is the

collection of the components of common sense. Our mental imbalances occur when the collective

unconscious and personal unconscious collides.

Page 128: Happy Relationships Presentation

Jung took up the question of Christianity from a psychological perspective. And the question is what message does Jesus embody? It is very important to

keep in mind the times he lived, for it can be surmised that the state of consciousness some two thousand years ago was much less developed than it is today. The state of consciousness at the time was just beginning to develop when Jesus walked on this great earth. In fact, if you think about Jesus’ life from the perspective of today, some fifty years after Jung died, only then do you answer the question of what he introduced into the world. Jesus was the

first person on earth to attempt to define the message of love as a supernatural concept, one beyond the secular materialism of man.

Page 129: Happy Relationships Presentation

In essence he put into motion the objective of our emotional relationship with the ones we love. Only today does that message finally get answered. Love is

defined as happiness, not unhappiness. And for that message he was killed, just like Socrates some four hundred years earlier. Socrates was killed for trying to figure out why we think and Jesus was killed because he tried to

figure out why we feel, “Love thy neighbor”, particularly your partner, your nearest neighbor.

He discovered “wholeness”:

“I use the term ‘individuation’ to denote the process by which a person becomes a psychological ‘in-dividual’,

that is, a separate, indivisible unity or “whole”

He comes to the historic conclusion that the goal of the individual psyche is to balance the ego to discover the self by letting the visions of his dreams and fantasies

coalesce into drawings. He called these pictures “mandalas”.

Page 134: Happy Relationships Presentation

“Mandala means circle, more especially a magic circle, and this form of symbol is not only to be found all through the East, but also among us; mandalas are amply represented in the Middle Ages. The specifically

Christian ones come from the earlier Middle Ages. Most of them show Christ in the centre, with four evangelists, or their symbols, at the cardinal points. This conception must be a very ancient one because Horus was represented with his four sons in the same way by the Egyptians…For the most part, the mandala form is that of a flower, cross, or wheel, with a distinct tendency

toward four as the basis of the structure.”

“This dream brought with it a sense of finality. I saw that here the goal has been revealed. One could not go beyond the center. The center is the goal,

and everything is directed toward that center. Through this dream I understood that the self is the principle and (instinct) of orientation and

meaning. Therein lies its healing function. For me, this insight signified an approach to the center and therefore to the goal. Out of it emerged a first

inkling of my personal myth.”

“Wherever the psyche is set violently oscillating by (an insecurity), there is a danger that the thread by which one hangs

may be torn. Should that happen, one man tumbles into an absolute affirmation, another into an equally absolute negation…

The pendulum of the mind oscillates between sense and nonsense, not between right and wrong.”

“The (insecurity) is dangerous because it lures men to extremes, so that a modest truth is regarded as the truth and a minor

mistake is equated with fatal error.”

Age of Aquarius

(Aquarius/Let the sunshine in)

Page 158: Happy Relationships Presentation

“I think that this is what can be said at the end of our aeon of the Fishes, and perhaps must be said in view of the coming aeon of Aquarius (the Water

Bearer), who has a human figure and is next to the sign of the fishes…The Water Bearer seems to represent the self. With a sovereign gesture he pours the contents of his jug into the mouth of Piscis austrinus, which symbolizes a son, a still unconscious content. Out of this unconscious content will emerge,

after the passage of another aeon of more than two thousand years, a future whose features are indicated by the symbol of Capricorn:…the monstrosity of

the Goat-Fish, symbolizing the mountains and the depths of the sea…This strange being could easily be the primordial image of a Creator-god

confronting ‘man’”

Page 159: Happy Relationships Presentation

Pisces

Age ruled by the “sword”

Page 160: Happy Relationships Presentation

In other words, for two thousand years after Christ we lived according to the symbol of the fish (and the “sword”). We have had to develop to the point

where we could feed most of humanity (and realize that wars are bad). We are now at the dawn of the Age of Aquarius where every one of us is tasked to

figure out who we are by balancing our egos and discovering our self, to find spirituality to become whole. After another two thousand years we get to

meet our maker on earth, what The Bible tells us will eventually happen. The transition required between the two in a relationship today is for us to make

conscious what is unconscious, a psychological endeavor.

Page 161: Happy Relationships Presentation

So the bottom line with all that we have gone through here is that the struggles of civilization for thousands of years has simply been to accomplish one

thing…to develop to the point so that you can become an individual, the path to happiness, and the first necessary step before a happy, healthy, harmonious,

loving affectionate, intimate relationship is possible.

Hopefully what has been presented here will help you get there.

Just Wait

Blues Traveler

Page 163: Happy Relationships Presentation

If ever you are feeling like you’re tiredAnd all your uphill struggles leave you headed downhill

If you realize your wildest dreams can hurt youAnd your appetite for pain has drinken its fill

I ask of you a very simple questionDid you think for one minute that you are aloneAnd is your suffering a privilege you share only

Or did you think that everybody else feels completely at home

Just wait, Just wait, Just wait…And it will come

Page 164: Happy Relationships Presentation

If you think I’ve given up on you you’re crazyAnd if you think I don’t love you well then you’re just wrong

In time you just might take to feeling betterTime is the beauty of the road being long

I know that now you feel no consolationBut maybe if I told you and informed you out loud

I say this without fear of hesitationI can honestly tell you that you make me proud

Just wait, Just wait, Just wait…And it will comeJust wait, Just wait, Just wait…And it will come

Page 165: Happy Relationships Presentation

If anything I might have just said has helped youIf anything I might have just said helped you just carry on

Your rise uphill may no longer seem a struggleAnd your appetite for pain may all but be gone

I hope for you and cannot stop at hopingUntil that smile has once again returned to your faceThere’s no such thing as a failure who keeps trying

Coasting to the bottom is the only disgrace

Just wait, Just wait, Just wait…And it will comeJust wait, Just wait, Just wait…And it will comeJust wait, Just wait, Just wait…And it will come

Page 166: Happy Relationships Presentation

There’s no such thing as a failure who keeps tryingCoasting to the bottom is the only disgrace

I look forward to seeing you on the mountaintop
