Healing comes from the Great Mystery, the Divine, the Spirit, That of which we are not conscious (the Unconscious). Healing comes on its own and when it wishes. Those of us who work with this Power must wait patiently and accompany our friends and relatives on their individual paths. We wait for a vision, a [...]

Limitless Transformation
Posted in entheogens, Mental Health, Movie Reviews, psyche, tagged Alchemy, Psychology, Shadow on March 22, 2011 | 2 Comments »
The movie Limitless shows us a literal enactment of the psychic process of personal development. The hero, Eddie Morra, uses a magic potion to enter the underworld realms of the psyche. Although the movie seems to be about designer drugs and enhanced brain function, the hero must face dependence upon the grace of the gods [...]
Dreaming Together

My dream: the protection spell showed itself from another dimension. I realized it was my young friend and apprentice (in the 21st century) who had cast it, to protect me in another reality. It was like the hint of something barely visible, but undeniable none the less. The young men were the same essence, the [...]

Richard Wilhelm: “Consciousness is the element marking what is separated off, individualized, in a person, and the unconscious is the element that unites him with the cosmos. The unification of the two elements via meditation is the principle upon which the work is based.” Although Wilhelm is referring to “the work” or opus of the [...]
The Invisible Force
Posted in Carl Jung, Dreams, I Ching: Book of Changes, Mental Health, tagged Alchemy, Dreams, Indwelling Spirit, Psychology, Spirituality on June 1, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
The Invisible Force is always available to us and trying to communicate with us. We need to listen to its messages, because it behaves like a person with infinite power at its disposal. When we have ignored the messages repeatedly, and I might add disrespectfully, the Force acts to get our attention. This could be through illness, accidents, economic failure, divorce, or eventually death. We are intimately connected to the eternal force which goes on with or without us. Listening will give meaning to your life and possibly improve its quality.
Core Shamanism with Michael Harner

My son Davi got an invitation for dinner and asked me to go as his guest. We met several MDs, PhDs, dreamers, authors, and academics. Then Michael Harner spoke about Core Shamanism and how he found drumming journeys had the same effects as medicine journeys. This means everyone can access the inner world of spirit [...]
Become Green “Man”

Become a Green Man dedicated to the re-greening of the planet. Start your own group of allies, other men who want to belong to the greenmen’s lodge, the universal brotherhood of man. All indigenous society attempts to live in harmony with the environment. She is the Mother who gives us birth and takes us into herself when we depart for the spirit world. How can we save her right now?
Gender and Indigenous Ceremonies

Celtic and Native American genes are waking up and informing us of our human, bi-sexual psyches. Discovering our inner world comes through personal experience. Unconscious processes project the inner world onto the “real” world causing paradox. Gender roles morph. This is normal in esoteric literature.
Medicine Council

Ancient patterns, called archetypes by Plato, can be recognized and engaged in conversation in the artist’s world. Native indigenous cultures might use our word “medicine” to describe this council, since God’s medicine comes from many different sources, yet leads to a lighting up of the personality, an expansion of consciousness.
Traveling from the head to the heart:

Although we have hard work to do, we must undertake the journey from the head to the heart. Fortunately some of us have had good teachers and companions on the journey and can help others arrive safely at their destination. My quest took over 30 years. Here’s how my road unfolded before me.
