Pallas Athena

Athena, my greek goddess archetype. Athene or Athena has been my goddess of choice ever since i learned mythology, or even before that. i amy have been the goddess athena herself, a reincarnate; stripped of the divine powers but not of the divine knowledge.

ok. pardon the exaggeration but thats how i want to think about why i chose athena to be my goddess archetype.

Athena the daughter of Zeus, the Olympian God, is the Greek Goddess of Wisdom, Justice, War and the Patron of Crafts. Her city is Athens and her favorite tree or the tree identified with athena is the olive tree. She is mostly identified with the owl and she carries the aegis or the shield of Zeus with the head of the gorgon Medusa. In most accounts, Athena was known to have emerged from the forehead of Zeus. "Zeus suffered a great headache and just when his forehead was splitting, out sprung a fully grownAthena in her glorious countenance". However it was also construed that Athena was the daughter of Zeus and the titan Metis. Zeus swallowed Metis because it has been prophesied the Metis will give birth to a child which will overthrow him. Metis was then pregnant with athena thus metis and athena were inside Zeus and when athena was born from metis she grew up there until the time when Athena went out through the forehead of Zeus.

Athena was one of the three virgin Godesses. Artemis and Hestia were the other 2. Athena was the one who helped protect Achilles and his army in the battle of Troy.

 

to be continued..

i still have to study my subjects so i will continue my account of athena.

 

fly me away

i cannot believe that i am allowing myself to get this busy!. when i was in the nursing program, i rarely studied any of my lessons and i would never try to read and familiarize any topic about nursing. however now that i am in pyschology, i find my brain being challenged by the constant stimulus from the teachers. except for one teacher, that is. anyways i think that in this course, i am beginning to understand who i am and i am beggining to be in contact with all the archetypes in my collective unconscious and hopefully attain individuation.

now that is scrap. anyways, my sched is so busy and yet i still find time to post something in this blog. its just sad to know that i do not have the talents and skills of other writers to attract a significant amount of readers in their blogs and blah blah blah. whatever. i just want to make money through blogging but it seems to me that i will have a hard time generating revenues from blogging. maybe through time i will discover the secrets of making money through blogging and rest assured that i am gonna SHARE IT TO THE WORLD.

so, i havent eaten my dinner yet. most of the time i only eat once a day thats why i got so thin in a few short weeks. i do not know what caused the rapid decrease of my weight but then again i believe that i have been subjected to a lot of crisis situations which greatly affecte my nutrition and health. I just remembered that we are gonna have a quiz on economics and i havent studied yet, tomorrow we will also be having a discussion on Karen Horney's psychoanalytical social theory and on Sullivans theory and i havent read a single word about it. instead, i am here writing about in this blog.

My stomach is shouting for food and yet i am too lazy to go downstairs and fix myself something to eat. id rather be here and increase the blog potential than eat and feed myself. see, i need money. BADLY. anyways i do not know when this economic crisis will end.  i just hope that this will end quickly so that my family can enjoy and economic freedom, in other words become debt free.

so there it is about my day and about my concurrent thoughts and dreams and whatever it is that i am feeling or thinking.
