Cruises, Birthdays, and Dreams
Dear friends, Last night we returned home from a two-week birthday cruise that took us from Lisbon to Barcelona by way of the Gibraltar Strait and up Spain’s east coast to Barcelona. It was an amazing journey with lots of new places and adventures, including a tour through the Dracht’s (Dragon’s) caves, and a camel […]
Ego and God-Image: Part IX
“The crux of the matter is man’s own dualism, to which he knows no answer. This abyss has suddenly yawned open before him with the latest events in world history, after mankind lived for many centuries in the comfortable belief that a unitary God had created man in his own image, as a little unity. […]
Following the Wisdom of Dreams
“The creative process has feminine quality, and the creative work arises from the unconscious depths—we might say from the realm of the mothers.”~ C.G. Jung, Modern Man in Search of a Soul, p. 170. The journey into wholeness is essentially an act of creation. In order to create anything, we must be willing to trust […]
Enlightenment in New Mexico
It is an honor to present today’s post, a review of my new book written by guest blogger, N.M. Freeman. It first appeared last week on her blog. Here’s the link.

Jung, On the Nature of […]
Sacred Laws of the Psyche: The Law of Love, Part II
Every human being yearns for love. But like all life, we are still evolving, and we haven’t come close enough to full consciousness yet.
The Sacred Law of Correspondence: Who Am I?
“The battleline between good and evil runs through the heart of every man.” – Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn The Sacred Law of Correspondence says that that the outer universe is a reflection of the realities of our inner universe. As I wrote in a previous post, this means that if we believe in a spiritual reality “up there” […]
Love that Is Willing to Roar
I was raised to be nice, to avoid anger and not act in anger. To behave with kindness and love. I still believe this. But I’ve seen and suffered the damage one can do to oneself and others by being too passive and pleasing. I don’t want to be like that any more. I don’t […]
Four Practices to Enhance Your Spirituality and Individuation
“The task consists in integrating the unconscious, in bringing together “conscious” and “unconscious.” I have called this the individuation process…” ~C.G. Jung Symbols of Transformation, CW 5, par.459. Spiritually, our destiny is to evolve into wise, consciously integrated beings who recognize the sacredness of all life and work to preserve it at every opportunity. We […]
