Of course, the heads on Easter islands have bodies. It seems so obvious once the images of the bodies appeared.
Throughout centuries, the story behind the mysterious stones and the people who built have lead to many speculations. Before the excavation the bodies, the questions focused around “Why did they built the heads?” and “How did they do it?” Now other questions are emerging: “Why did they bury the bodies?”, “Was the statues buried on purpose?” “Or it is simply the work of time?” The statues were carved by the Rapa Nui people. sometime between 1250 and 1500 AD so it is possible that erosion and changes in the landscape could have buried the bodies.

Our thoughts are, just like the bodies of the statues, often hidden. Freud talked about the unconscious mind – a part that is not available to introspection. There is also the term subconscious mind, which is used to refer thoughts that are not in focus.

Great post!
APC Why they burried their bodies: a.. out of shame b.. to burry their passion c.. like children on beaches: just fun d.. they had it cold e.. as a custom f.. to hide messages till someone intelligent to understand them would begin to dig (sorry, it took sooo long) g.. They symbolised that the body belongs to the arth and the head to the horizon, the view, h.. They had a comlete different worldview; the body communicates with the earth and ghosts in the earth and the dead bodies there and the unvisible/ The head is in the dark, the nothing, just seeing in the empty i.. Good exercise.
Can’t find the link to Find your Passion.
However, coud you design a better method, using mindmaps (as a first try to get into the unconscious) and then f.i. make a sketch to integrate and make an visual image, and then meditate on it, and then….
Would be wonderful because so many people, and surely most of kids, don’t have any clou where there passion in is. Nowadays especially important, because there are so many possibilities that are interesting and available. Before you know , you made a wrong choice, that is not in the direction of your passion
Thanks for the post, this week I have been so busy helping my son with his script. He is such a visual and divergent thinker that he needs someone who helps him structuring, keep on track, focussing. But it is marvelous to do so, and to see how more quality his script is attaining now (depth, layers, twists, characters) within 90 pages/minutes
Have a good weekend, Gijs
