Hi @helenzille , while you are on you Jozi landmark tour, come visit the Bryanston Leaning tower of ‘Lectriciy in Witney street. Established March 2026 during a water pipe restoration all authorities have supported its establishment this far despite much engagement.

@JHBWater - Peachtree Village on Witney Street in Bryanston has constant pressure fluctuations due to blocked filters (most other complexes up and downstream are fine). Please can this be investigated as to why they keep getting blocked? (Email sent too).

@JHBWater there is a burst pipe on Old Kilcullen road in Bryanston opposite Kiltealy intersection near the health Center. Not sure if it’s a personal irrigation or a municipal pipe but checking nonetheless as it’s been watering the sand since 7am – at Sandton, South Africa

@JHBWater @jhb_water another leak at the corner of Bath and Halifax in Bryanston

@JHBWater and @jhb_water water leak on Banbury outside the Bryanston Courthouse building – at Sandton, South Africa

"The swiping culture lures us with infinite possibilities, but it also exerts a subtle tyranny. The constant awareness of ready alternatives invites unfavorable comparisons, weakens commitment, and prevents us from enjoying the present moment." - Esther Perel

I’m getting excited! Planning a breath-work for September in Knsyna :) all Yogi’s and Yogini’s, mindful masters and soul searchers are welcome.

In two weeks I will have worked remotely in three cities, and commuted by car, airplane and train, despite load shedding, petrol increases and service delivery failures. Thanks to the many people I can’t see making this happen from pilots to petrol attendants.

The psyche is part of the inmost mystery of life, and it has its own peculiar structure and form like every other organ­ism. Whether this psychic structure and its elements, the arche­types, ever "originated" at all is a metaphysical question and therefore unanswerable. - CG Jung

The multiplicity of psychologies, the fact that there are so many different "psychological points of view," among which we cannot decide "who is right," reflects the multiplicity of souls and the states of these souls. All are necessary; none is sufficient. - James Hillman

Jung remained true to the psychological point of view, a point of view grounded in the soul. His ontology could be formulated most simply as esse in anima... For him both normal and abnormal psychology were expressions of the soul... - James Hillman

We are not trying to find out what people “think” about things. Opinions and perceptions are largely irrelevant. Instead, our grounding in the humanities allows us to go deeper. We are interested in uncovering the structures that govern different realities. - Christian Madsbjerg

We are so fixated on staring at the oracle of the GPS that we have lost all sensitivity to the stars shining right above our heads."- Christian Madsbjerg

Who sees all beings in his own Self, and his own Self in all beings, loses all fear. When a sage sees this great Unity and his Self has become all beings, what delusion and what sorrow can ever be near him ? - Isa Upanishad

No wonder that Jung was not understood. He was speaking a new language and using an old language in a new way. His rectification of the language of psychology began with the expressions of the unconscious psyche as given in fantasy, dream, and emotion. - James Hillman

Man, it is said, was created in the divine image; the psyche of man somehow mirrors or clings to the divine. So, our psychological descriptions are also in some way descriptions of the divine. - James Hillman

A language that no longer carries metaphor displaces the metaphorical drive from its appropriate display in poetry and rhetoric, or any symbolic form, into direct action. - James Hillman

So learning to listen means getting yourself out of the way. I know of no other way of doing this than becoming conscious of complexes. Jung said that confronting your darker nature, your shadow, was the apprentice piece of the process of becoming conscious. - Tom Cheetham
