She was my first experience of a Jewish American Princess. We met in graduate school studying depth psychology. She had been an actress in New York City, engaged to a famous Irish film star.

Ian McEwan’s novel gets a fabulously acted screenplay in Enduring Love.

The ancient divine patterns of the psyche are the gods and goddesses, or “archetypes” which (1) were here on the planet before us and (2) we experience in extraordinary ways.

They are power centers which have their own, unique way of affecting us and our environment. They make their own rules of conduct. It is important to be aware of the archetypes and how to be in relationship with them. We can work with or against overwhelming forces of nature and be helped or destroyed.

Healing can always take place in the Spirit Realm or, as modern psychology calls it, the Unconscious. In that realm our twenty-first century concept that time is linear does not apply. The events of childhood are eternally present, as though they happened yesterday. In the Dreamtime of Spirit every event is always present and wounding [...]
