(Grimm’s “The White Snake” Summary Pt. 4/4) The haughty princess gives the Gifted Servant a third and final task to gain her hand: retrieve the golden apple from The Tree of Life.  He wanders for a long time, but one day while he is resting under a tree the three ravens he rescued drop the apple they got from the End of the World.  After he and the princess share the apple their hearts are full of love for each other.

(Grimm’s “The White Snake” Summary Pt. 3) The servant, now on foot, comes to a kingdom where the king is having a contest for the hand of his daughter.  The task: a ring is tossed into the ocean and if the servant can’t fetch it, he’ll be thrown in repeatedly until he does die.  Gathered villager spectators grieve.  One of the fish he rescued bring him a mussel with the ring in it, and the servant brings it to the king.  The princess sees he’s her social inferior, and she demands a second task.  Ten sacks of millet are dumped out into a garden, and if by sunrise all are not gleaned, he’ll die.  By sunrise, the seemingly doomed prince, despondent, is shocked to see the millet gathered perfectly, by the Ant King he’d helped.

A wise king has a mysterious last meal served to him in secret each night.  A servant takes a peek one day and sees a white snake.  He can’t help himself and as soon as he touches a bite with his tongue, he begins to hear the conversations of birds, which relates all they’ve seen.  One day the queen loses her ring and the servant, who has all-access, is accused and will be put to death if he doesn’t find it.  At a pond, he overhears a duck saying she swallowed the ring, and he has the butcher slaughter her.  He takes the ring to the apologetic king, who lets him travel the world with a horse and money.

A king with preternatural knowing has a mysterious dish brought to him nightly.  A trusted servant can’t help himself one day and, in private, takes a glimpse and a bite.  Understanding the language of animals now, he is able to save himself from death numerous times and, also because he saved many lowly creatures in need, marry a princess.  A story about an extraordinary and adventurous youth who rises to the heights.Please like, comment and subscribe!

I ask LL about salutary, stimulating texts that might wake her up and she says she goes out into nature and this helps wake her up.  I relate a Jordan Peterson quote about being self-conscious being identical with negative emotional experience.

Psychological technologies – “psychotechnologies”-- are something John Vervaeke talks a lot about, and ones like writing help us to be reflective and less self-deceptive, personally and in the history of the human race as well.  I ask LL about her use of things that guide her, which she relates to engaging the senses and mind.

Getting dumber from smart phones.  Rousseau teaches that we should teach things slowly, and that by employing machines outside our body we don’t develop the machines within.  I mention productivity guru Cal Newport’s suggestion to take everything “interesting” off your phone; I took YouTube off my phone.

Our Experiences with Well-Being Therapy (Clip)

I am reminded of Well-Being Therapy by our conversation about being present without an agenda with someone.  This therapy is simple but effective at improving outlook.

Problem-Solving vs. Being With Someone. In the discussion, where we talked about the usefulness of mistakes, we talk about how to not problem-solve with people and be present with them, not putting the agenda first.  Reminds me of Well-Being Therapy.
