Fleeting thoughts attempt at capture

Right now I'm listening to Stuart Davis's Universe Communion. If anyone who happens to be reading this knows of Ken Wilber, than they might know who Stuart Davis. He's a musician who incorporates a lot of neo-spirituality into his lyrics. And I'm not sure if he is anti science, but one of lyrics makes me think he has something in him that doesn't like science. Which I'll forgive now, I mean a simple song is a lot different from philosophical treatise. Ii can only speculate on what he means, and that's not so much the point of this writing... I felt like writing because just sitting here listening to it got me thinking about a lot of things that I haven't thought about in a while. Some good thoughts, maybe, that I wanna get out of my head into some form of external reality.

Anyone the one thought that was most prevalent had to do with psychology. I've been thinking a lot lately about getting another masters in psychology. Not sure what I want to do with it though. I would most definitely like to be a theorist above all, possibly a therapist, but then again I also adore cognitive psychology and love the idea of me sitting in a lab zapping someone for telling a lie a recording their physiological and emotional responses...Who knows, maybe I could do all of that...

Sometimes I think I have way too many interests. Presently the two thinkers who I've been studying the most are Bertrand Russell, and Carl Jung. Two guys who couldn't be further apart as far as their philosophy goes. But then again, maybe they aren't so different, at least in some ways. I would love to go into great depth contrasting the two, the stream of consciousness style I've got here I don't think will allow it. But I'll try anyway... One difference to point out right off the bat is that Bertrand Russell pretty much hated mysticism, while Jung was very open it. I mean their views are very complicated and layered, and they both lived very long lives and their views changed a lot over time; what I mean is, I don't want to pigeonhole them so fast. Needless to say Russel on more than one occasion denounced mysticism, while I know for a fact Jung embraced it fully to his death (whatever that means, really).

However, sometimes I notice that Russell says some things that could easily have come out of the mouth of any spiritual guru. For instance, "love is wise, hatred is foolish'. I can so imagine jesus saying that. And I know that Jung was pretty scientific, that is he was very objective in his writings and analyses, even in the mist of losing his damn mind...

Anyway, I had another fleeting though: how can I contribute to the field of psychology? I mean, I know a pretty decent amount, and sometimes I have some good insights. What can I to do to add to the conversation. I'm 27 years old, and I still feel unborn in this way. In general... I always thought that I would be some kind of renowned intellectual. I always thought that it would just happen somehow, and I still do. I'm still very young. Many very important intellectuals remained obscure even at the time of their death. I'm certainly not going to let myself think that the dream is all over. I've been studying for years now, I know a lot about a whole lot of things. I should write a book or something. Get my name out there.

That's all for now.
