“According to Jungian analytical psychology, stepping on dog poop in a dream is interpreted as an aegis of incoming wealth.
In reality, however, stepping on dog poop just makes you curse: ‘Oh, shit!’
Yet in 21st-century cities, the chance of stepping on a bull’s dung is almost zero.”

In the interviews for my research on Flickr, (see The CyberPsychology of Flickr ), some people mentioned shots that were “eye candy” – those crowd-pleasers that are colorful and pretty to look at, that may even skillfully employ the rules of eye-catching composition, but don’t contain any artistic depth. These people seemed frustrated by the fact that such images often receive more attention in flickr than other images that are more subtle, unconventional, or provocative in ways that seem socially unacceptable.
"Psychology"
a schema describes patterns of thinking and behavior that people use to interpret the world. We use schemas because they allow us to take shortcuts in interpreting the vast amount of information that is available in our environment.
Theorist Jean Piaget introduced the term schema, and its use was popularized through his work. According to his theory of cognitive development, children go through a series of stages of intellectual growth.
In Piaget's theory, a schema is both the category of knowledge as well as the process of acquiring that knowledge. He believed that people are constantly adapting to the environment as they take in new information and learn new things.
quote
Everything which distinguishes man from the animals depends upon this ability to volatilize perceptual metaphors in a schema, and thus to dissolve an image into a concept.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Western philosophy
...will do more good for an unhappy but otherwise healthy adult
than all the medicine and psychology in the world.

I've uploaded this one in color yesterday, and here's the other version of it (which some friends into psychology liked it more!).
Making up an interesting title for an image can be an important creative aspect of photography. After all, did famous photographers ever resort to generic or bland labels for their work, or no names at all?
Actually, they often did. Real ordinary titles like “East Coast Fisherman,” “White Radish,” “Nude, Campden Hill, London, 1949,” and simply “Self-portrait.”
So how come these really creative people failed to conjure up a captivating title for some of their most famous photographs? Well, probably because it wasn’t necessary. The image itself was meaningful, powerful, revealing, all on its own. Maybe all they felt they needed to do was indicate the simple facts of where, when, and who, in order to provide a basic context. Then the image did the rest of the talking.
There are some definite advantages to straightforward or no titles at all. It lets viewers explore the image on their own without forcing any particular interpretation. It tosses the image into their lap and encourages them to project themselves into it, creating their own meaning. No title at all can be especially effective. It’s mysterious. It teases, frustrates, challenges, lures the viewer in: “Go ahead. Figure this out.” It’s a presentation of the purely visual with no pretense of words.
On the other hand, titles of some kind are useful handles. Without one, how do you refer to an image? “It’s the shot of the bicycle, not the bicycle in the playground… the other one, you know, the bicycle on the grass, shot from below, through the spokes up at the sky.”
Wouldn’t “Spoked Sky” be easier? Especially in online photo sharing communities, where there are thousands and millions of images, titles will help you organize, identify, and discuss images, as well as make it easier for search engines to find them.
And like I said at the start, titles can be an important part of the creative process. You can use a title to steer the viewer towards ideas that you really want to convey. The title can add a layer of meaning that is not immediately obvious in the photo. A title can even be playful or provocative by contradicting the qualities of the image.
Some titles might pop into your mind right away. You know what the image says for you. In other cases, however, you might have to really think about it. That process can be fascinating, and valuable. You know you like the photo, but may not be sure why. Searching your mind for a title might clarify that for you. It may help you uncover the subconscious feelings, memories, and fantasies that you associate with it. Coming up with a really good title might also help you alter and refine the photo. The title gives you a direction for post processing and image manipulation. It’s an excellent exercise in bringing composition in line with the idea you want to convey.
You’ll know when you have a really good title. It feels right. It “sticks.” Weeks, months, even years later, you’ll remember it. It’s a wedding of meaning and image.

In Mexico, restaurant owners place high importance on the interior color schemes of their restaurants because they believe that colors can stimulate the psychological response of their customers. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information strong stimulant colors like reds, oranges and yellows enhance the appetite of customers. These colors have an appetite inducing effect because they are common colors found in nature.

Yesterday was tee shirt weather. Today it’s cold enough outside that you can see your breath. Even so, the warm colors of spring tulips add a psychology of warmth that’s unmistakable!
It's usually next to impossible to get a good photo of my grandson. He can't sit still, and tends to frown at the camera. Until I tried to get a portrait of his mom for work purposes and he decided, of course, he just had to get in there.

My young and open heart sufferd
Pride closed my heart
I lost my loving feelings
I recognized this and wanted them back
They came back
I feel love for myself and the world again
The difference: Now I am aware

The energy of A2 motivates me to be proud on a restrict and harsh level. I close my heart imediateley - if it was open at all... Alpha cannot afford an open heart because no loss can be accepted.
On another level the energy motivates me to have a snobish pride. This energy just keeps me away from things or people because I consider them to be low standard.

Stolz – eine Sünde?
Stolz ist die Abgrenzungsenergie des Egos. Stolz sagt Nein, und mit diesem Nein wird ein Mensch für den anderen zum Widersacher.
Mit meinem Nein zu bestimmten Menschen werde ich für diese zu jemandem, der sie verletzt. Sie werden durch meinen Stolz in ihrem Stolz verletzt. Ego verletzt Ego.
Erst als ich zu meinem Stolz Ja sagen konnte, war ich in der Lage, den Stolz bei andern bewusst zu sehen und ihn zuzulassen.
Abgrenzungsenergie – allerdings bewusste – verletzt die Ordnung der Dinge nicht, sie ist die Bedingung für Ordnung. Ohne Grenzen herrscht Chaos. Nach Erfüllung der Ordnungspflichten geht es wieder „zurück zur Natur“. Emotionen – die Verursacher für chaotisches menschliches Verhalten – werden zur Revitalisierung des verwüsteten Landes benötigt. Das ausgetrocknete Land ist der hochgradig intellektuelle Geist der jede Emotion mit Kritik und Zynismus zerdenkt und zerredet. Die Ratio muss sich dem emotionalen Rotlicht aussetzen sonst zerfällt das System Körper. Geist ohne Materie? Zugegeben, die Illusion von Materie, dennoch muss sie sein.
Die Vernunft kann sich einen dauerhaften Stolz den Emotionen gegenüber nicht leisten. Das wäre Selbstmord. Stolz führt in die Abgrenzung, wo und bei welchen Gelegenheiten auch immer. Abgrenzung aber kann nicht dauern – die Natur muss wieder erwachen.
Heute kann ich meinen und den Stolz der anderen akzeptieren. Unbewusst ausagiert ist er eine Sünde. Durch Bewusstheit allerdings kann sie neutralisiert und damit kann eine spezifische Emotion, ob Lust oder Völlerei, entsündigt und wieder lebbar werden.
Die große Ur-Sünde, die große Ur-Teilung ist das abtrünnige Nein Luzifers. Er fällt mit dem Nein aus der göttlichen Einheit. Mit diesem Nein kommt Leben in die Welt, Veränderung, Wandel und Überraschungen geschehen. Man weiß ja nie, wann das Nein wieder einmal herein bricht. Das Nein muss sein.
Ohne Abgrenzung vom Kollektiven ist keine wahre Individuation möglich. Ohne Individuation gibt es keine Befreiung des Selbst. Ohne Befreiung des Selbst gibt es keine Rückkehr zu Gott. Wobei nach meiner Interpretation der göttliche Zustand des inneren Friedens gemeint ist.
Frieden schließen mit der Sünde, geht das? Ich habe keine Ahnung…

It's time for some more of The Shop's unusual vector assets : the geometrical psychology diagrams. These were originally created as an attempt to "mathematically model human consciousness through geometric forms" in the late 1880s.
There are two main groups of assets: the first one, with mainly two dimensional diagrams, and second one, of more than two dimensions, that resemble flowers and crystals. I also added some random nuggets from the rest of the collection. The diagrams have that beautiful execution of late Victorian era scientific illustration, while also presenting an undeniable organic touch. The "three dimensional" group of assets also feature shading, and color highlights.
There are forty-five (45) assets altogether, carefully digitized, organized, and share in a variety of formats, with care. I would recommend using them as background elements, color scheme inspirations, or of course as the centerpiece of the project you're working on.

Today's challenge in the Our Daily Challenge group is "Using your head". You might say I did that... at least it felt like it trying to come up with something. LOL!
When you tell someone that you love them.....Good things happen.....So what happens when that someone tells you that they love you too.....Well just like the photo....That is when magic happens
