You know.. this one just goes to show you how much death has been a part of my life in recent memory. It was my Mom calling to say someone else had died.

My caller told me they loved me. Awww...haven't felt very lovable lately so maybe that's why.

Thanks for posting these Cindori.

LOL, Lk! I'm afraid of getting that call myself!

Mine was my doctor's office, calling with an appointment date/time....
It's happened to me more than once and I end up having to call back and find out when my appointment is!

We've been woken for bail/jail calls three times. Twice it was him, and once it was a friend in Colorado who couldn't get any of her friends THERE to accept the call, so we had to call her roommate. I guess I now connect late night calls to that.

New Scenario!

Whale Watching

You are standing on the deck of a small whale-watching boat. The great blue ocean surrounds you on all sides as far as the eye can see. The salt spray mists your face as you lean over the rail to try to catch sight of these mysterious creatures of the deep. And then there they are - a family of whales has surfaced just a short distance away!

Which of the following best describes the family?

1. A small baby whale swimming behind its gigantic mother.

2. A baby whale snuggling close to its mother's belly.

3. A father and mother whale swimming with their baby.

4. A baby whale blowing a water spout as it swims off alone.



What your answer means . . .

The whale is a common instance of Jung's "Great Mother" archetype. The relationship you imagined between the whales in this scene is linked to the feelings you have about your own relationship with your mother.

1. A small baby whale swimming behind its gigantic mother.

The role of the mother is almost overwhelmingly important to you. It may be that your own mother is influencing the way you act and think even now that you're an adult. It might be a good idea to cut away some of those apron strings and work toward a new level of independence. After all, your mother didn't raise you to be a child forever.

2. A baby whale snuggling close to its mother's belly.

You crave physical affection. It's natural and normal to feel the need for human warmth, but you feel that need more than others. Men who gave this answer should be especially careful not to look to their partners to play the role of the surrogate mother - playing Mommy's little boy is no way to run a mature romance.

3. A father and mother whale swimming with their baby.

You have an equal appreciation for the roles of both your mother and your father (the father is often forgotten about in these types of imaginary scenes). As a child, your home life was most likely happy and secure, and the result is your balanced outlook on life.

4. A baby whale blowing a waterspout as it swims off alone.

You have achieved personal autonomy and are well on your way to real growth as an individual, but your insistence on being your own person can sometimes make you appear to be willful, headstrong, or just plain selfish. Take care not to be so individualistic that you alienate the people around you.

I saw two large whales with a baby in the middle, all three swimming together so...that would fall into #3 ~ A father and mother whale swimming with their baby.

I was more taken by the opportunity to go whale watching, something I really want to do.

I first saw the baby whale, and then mum and dad near enough to reach out, but back enough to make the baby whale feel grownup. But the whale wasn't spouting.

So, mostly #4.

New Scenario!

Blowing Your Own Horn

Humans aren't the only entertainers in the animal kingdom. We've all watched the horse shows in a circus, the tumbling bears, and the antics of chimpanzees on tricycles. Then there are the star performers of the watery world - dolphins, killers whales, and let's not forget the seals.

You are a seal in a marine park show, performing in front of a sellout crowd. What runs through your mind as you face out into the audience, pumping your horns and waiting for the next bucket of fish from your trainer?



What your answer means . . .

Trained animals performing in a show are doing a kind of forced labor, with no option of quitting midway. The thoughts you said went through your head on stage correspond to the feelings you have about your own job. The things you said to yourself are things you're really thinking while you're at work. What did you have to say?

"Can you believe these idiots are actually paying to see this?" You'd be surprised what the entertainment value of your efforts is to an outside observer.

"Hey, buddy, how about some salmon next time? If I have to eat another sardine, I think I'm gonna puke." Rephrase that sentiment and tell it to your boss the next time you're up for a salary review. The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

"This is so humiliating. I can't believe I'm doing this where all these people can see me." What was it you said you do again? Maybe you should look into a nice relaxing job in accounting.

"Keep the food coming." I don't know what that means other than I want to earn good wages.

This is so Uhm...I was bigtime happy and flapping my fins, bending to honk the horns in a: whoohoo! Lets go! kind of way - I'm just gonna sneak out of here now. lmao! (or maybe stop sharing. lol!)

I JUST found this thread! Wish I would have found it sooner!

The whale question I answered #2 and that fits me pretty well.

The seal question I answered "This is so fun, I'd do it for free!" meaning even without the fish reward.

Hmmmm... I don't know if I'd do my job for free... somedays yes, somedays NO WAY!

New Scenario!

Planting the Seeds

The human spirit loves a challenge. This desire to overcome may be the secret to our success as a species. Every human science was born through hard study and failed experiments; and every human personality is the product of an innate drive to create something unique from one's raw individual experience. The need to be challenged is so strong in us that we sometimes make things more difficult than they need to be, just so we can rise to the occasion and overcome the obstacles we have ourselves created.

You are an eminent scientist who has been working to develop a new species of plant. You have spent years in your laboratory experimenting, and now your efforts have begun to show results. As the ultimate test of the hardiness of your creation, you plant 100 seeds of the new strain in an inhospitable desert location.

How many of those 100 seeds sprout? (Give a number from 0-100.)




What your answer means . . .

The number you gave as an answer correlates to your self-confidence level. In this story, the scientist stands for feelings of confidence and even pride. On the other hand, the hostile desert sands represent a difficult challenge or test and therefore elicit feelings of doubt and uncertainty. People who answered with higher numbers felt greater affinity with the scientist and have higher confidence levels. Those who answered with lower numbers felt the challenge was too great and have correspondingly low self-confidence.

Scale

99-100 It's an understatement to say you're self-confident; maybe a better word would be "vain." Sure, it's important to believe in yourself, but you tend to dismiss the challenges of the rest of the world. Don't forget that one of the truest signs of strength is accepting one's own weaknesses.

81-98 You radiate confidence in yourself and your own capabilities, but somehow it doesn't come across as arrogance. Those around you generally feel it as a sense of cool certainty, making you a natural leader wherever you go.

61-80 Maybe you're best described as a cautious optimist, hoping for the best but always prepared for the worst. That realistic philosophy keeps you grounded when others might lose their heads in the clouds.

41-60 Your self-confidence is in the average range - neither too cocky nor too unsure. Maybe you're still finding out what it is you're best at, or maybe you just have a healthy respect for the difficulties that stand before you. Believe in yourself and the world will follow suit.

21-40 While you don't doubt yourself entirely, you tend to overestimate the challenges confronting you. You may excuse this tendency as a simply resignation to the facts, but your pessimistic outlook affects the way other people see you. The only way for you to inspire confidence in others is first to have it in yourself.

1-20 It's one thing to be humble, but you need to focus on developing a better sense of your own value. There's nothing wrong with believing you can achieve great things, and with a little hard work you can. The only thing holding you back is you.

0 What looks like an utter lack of confidence is actually a sign of perfectionistic pride. You can't tolerate the thought of being proven wrong or even making a mistake, so you pretend that everything is too difficult for you. If you don't learn to face those fears, you may fool the world into thinking you're just a ne'er-do-well, but you'll always know that you never even tried.
