"It's a long trip from the head to the heart." Is what an anonymous quote says, and it's only true because our heads tend to make so many short trips into lifelong odysseys. It's because we have to think about it so much – but how do we think?
Last week, my uncle (by marriage) James Hillman – Jungian analyst, scholar and teacher, champion of the psyche, and "renegade" psychologist – passed away, into the world that comes after this, venturing into a dimension that I'm certain he's currently delighted to discover, given that he's always dedicated himself to the most profound explorations of life [and death] with all the impe
I was once very involved with Evolver, but now I choose to post articles and videos on occasion. This thing is (like all things) what we decide it will be. I enjoy having a forum to post my crazy ideas and find that people derive benefit. What other place can you do that these days? :-)
Recently in the Ken Wilber meetup group we talked about Jung and Ken Wilber
There are two paths to enlightenment, either transcend it all by saying, I am "not this, not this." - the "male" way. The "female" way is to embody all.
Ken Wilber calls this Freedom vs. Fullness.
At integral (see Don Beck and Ken Wilber), perhaps we do both.
G’day and welcome to my blog! Today I’ll be discussing the connection between the Greek gods and modern analytical psychology, and by analytical I refer specifically to theories pioneered by Carl Gustov Jung.
On Saturday, May 21, I had the most powerful and meaningful experience of my life. I witnessed The Rapture, and it was not at all what anyone fully imagined it would be.
Over the last several years, I have spiritually grown immensely. I learned to love and humbly respect all others more and more. My perception of others and Nature as separate from myself increasingly diminished.
This is a paper i wrote for my graduate class. I wanted to publish this because while i was doing the research for this piece, i found there wasn't much written about the amazing film, "The Holy Mountain," and practically no analytical texts at all.
I was going to post this on the old Breaking Open the Head forums, because I've gained a lot from them even though I came to them about 5 years after they stopped being really active, to pay my respects to the challenge and the inspiration of the forums, but the registration software is no longer working in the forums or doesn't work on my laptop. So I'll post this here.

Oneirisms is a "collective journal of metaphysical experience," a place to post your dreams and visions and read what other people have experienced outside the physical dimensions of space and time. An oneirism is "dream-like experience," and in posting dreams for all to see we provide the means for others to share in the ride.
Consistently applying my own twist on a healing technique known as Ho'oponopono since 2002, I'd like to share these publicly for the first time. Essentially we will deeply delve into the hypothesis that everything "out there" is our own reflection "in here." In so doing, we will tap into inner and outer resources for joy and self-acceptance that will simultaneously heal the oil sp
Shamans are those learned in the ability to heal themselves and their communities. Shamanism is not a culturally specific or arbitrary concept but “a specific complex of characteristics found in magico-religious practitioners of hunter-gatherer and simple pastoral and agricultural societies around the world” – from the Amazon to Africa to Siberia and East Asia.
I recently watched both parts of Che, the 2008 biopic of Ernesto "Che" Guevara starring Benicio Del Toro and directed by Steven Soderbergh. I don't intend to comment extensively on the quality of the film.
I have a feeling that when I'm older and reflecting on my experience as a young man, there will be a vital point in the story when I exclaim, "And then I found The Feminine Mystique!" It's bewildering to consider that the work -- which launched the modern feminist movement almost 20 years before I was born -- could relate in any significant way to my own life.
