Jungian thoughts

i'm reading an intro book on jung and freud, started with jung...
not comparing myself with them, but something i just read stuck out.

something happened to them, and to others in history, around the age of 35-45.
the term they use is "creative illness", which is kinda funny.
dunno about freud, but jung experienced some phenomena, which i seem to be experiencing too.
not psychic exactly, but a broadened awareness maybe?
i feel things around me, hear things sometimes, all the time lately (past year or so?).

for some reason, i'm thinking this all has to do with a fundamental change in a man's chemistry,
around this time in life. it's well documented that the testosterone levels fall, or begin falling.
perhaps there are other issues with seratonin and other chemistry of the brain?
it would explain alot.

just wanted to make a note of it...
ciao'
