Hearing voices: A simplified understanding
This article is a personal reflection about a voice that I hear, which claims to be Brian Blessed. Here I offer and explanation as to how that might work.
Quantum Biology
Ghosts as Externalised Projections
Jung’s use of the terms “unconscious projections” and “exteriorisations” aligned with his developing theory of autonomous complexes, he said that these were psychological contents that can manifest with apparent independence from conscious control.

Our Potential Legacy of Maladaptive Symbolic Insight
If you think about the vast evolutionary history covered by our own genetic story. You might like to think about this: Sitting in the symbolic interface of our DNA, may be the memory of our greatest fear. That is, the biggest, most scary thing, the entire stack of memories and genetic imprints that our DNA may hold?

Theory of Autonomous Complexes
Jung developed his theory of autonomous complexes in 1908, through word association experiments at the Burghölzli psychiatric clinic in Zurich. By measuring subjects’ reaction times to stimulus words and noting hesitations, slips, and emotional reactions, Jung discovered patterns suggesting emotionally-charged “hot spots” in the unconscious.
Dual-Mask Model
The Dual-Mask Model and Transactional Analysis
The dual-mask system, part of the Theory of the DNA-Self could also explain the concept of life positions, as described in transactional analysis.

Could our Cells be Quantum Entangled?
It could be suggested, that in some way, our “cells” are connected via quantum entanglement, and this unseen and highly symbolic communication, is the source of Jung’s collective unconscious, which is also quietly, updating our codes?

Childhood Imaginary Friends as Externalised Projections
There is the suggestion that the phenomena of Imaginary Friends, seen in many children around the globe, very often fitting into that child’s acceptable world-view, but often found concerning, by their parents, could be externalised projections from their own mind. Some kind of imaginative overlay, but with the ability to offer additional insight to the child, by adding a second, or third view to any situation.

Social intuitionist theory
The social intuitionist theory, primarily developed by Jonathan Haidt, posits that moral judgments are driven by rapid, automatic intuitions rather than conscious, rational reasoning

Piaget’s theory of cognitive development
Piaget’s theory of cognitive development proposes that children progress through four distinct stages of intellectual growth, each characterized by unique ways of thinking and understanding the world

The Pattern is Symbolic, Silly! Pattern Matching and the Symbolic Interface
Pattern recognition is not just a cognitive process; it is the brain’s way of saying, “Hey, I’ve seen this before – probably!”. At its core, every pattern is symbolic, and every symbol is a pattern, whether it’s a face in a crowd, a melody from a few notes, or the uncanny resemblance between your boss and a grumpy badger.
