Caryatids: Images of the Queen Archetype
“The Queen is a mother impulse in all of us. She sits close to our Anima or archetype of the feminine. The Queen is the part of us that wants to see the people around us grow and flourish under our watchful gaze.” CG Jung Femininity is universally associated with beauty, softness, tenderness, receptivity, relationship, […]
Mandorla Consciousness: Part I
Note: Dear friends. This morning I learned that for some reason, very few subscribers to my blog received this post today, which is a repost from one originally published seven years ago. If you are one of the few who did receive it today, you can disregard this one. When the human […]
Mandorla Consciousness: Part I
At that time all mankind spoke a single language. As the population grew and spread eastward, a plain was discovered in the land of Babylon, and was soon thickly populated. The people who lived there began to talk about building a great city,with a temple-tower reaching to the skies—a proud, eternal monument to themselves.
Coming Home to Feminine Spirituality
I cannot overstate the importance of this dream. I knew “I” didn’t create it; it came from a profound source of wisdom deep within me. I think of this inner wisdom as Sophia, the Divine Mother.

Dream Mother Sends Me Some Reassuring Dream Mothers

Dream Messages from the Fruitful In-Between
Dream #5363: August 6, 2021 I’m in a room with several young people. I walk past my granddaughter Sophia. She’s standing in front of a young blonde-haired man who’s sitting on a couch to my right. He hands her a small round canister, like the kind Kodak film used to be rolled up in. She […]
Where Is Sophia’s Way of Wisdom Today?
As you grow more introspective on the inward spiritual journey, your perspective on life grows more expansive. This speaks to the common misconception that taking oneself seriously through self-study is somehow selfish, self-indulgent, or self-centered. In fact, the contrary is true: The better you know and love yourself, the more you feel and express love for others.
