• So You Think Your Life Was Wasted (26)

    I have added subheads to this record of an altered-state conversation, merely to assist clarity C.G. Jung on exploring and mapmaking [May 16, 2006] (7:50 a.m.) Dr. Jung, can you provide some context for what is going on here? I’m beyond suspecting that I am “making this up” except that the more I think about…

  • The Pickle Jar

    I don’t know where this story came from originally. A friend sent it to some of his friends (including, I’m proud to say, me) with this comment: “The story Pickle Jar is an old story that has been passed around the internet many times. If a story wore out from being passed around then this…

  • “I exist, you exist. But mankind is only a word.”

    It is no pleasant thing to spend an entire lifetime watching one’s beloved country descend into insanity, but this has been my fate, and of the fate of any who have come into consciousness within the past half century. I say “who have come into consciousness,” because it is not enough to live; it is…

  • So You Think Your Life Was Wasted (27)

    Learning to communicate When we were babies, learning how to work the body machinery, one of the things we had to learn to do was to speak to the embodied presences around us. First came meaningless sounds, (and, sometimes, howls of frustration), then came baby talk, then came the ability to speak recognizable words and…

  • “I now realize that we did not come here to suffer”

    I think that some of you will find this fascinating. Not just a first-hand description of a near-death experience, but her response to the standard questionnaire about specific aspects of that experience. Sent to me by a friend, originally from http://www.nderf.org/anita_m’s_nde.htm

  • Recalibration

    Recently the guys upstairs have given me a simple new tool that seems to be working well, so I thought I’d share it for the sake of those who may find it helpful.

  • Carl Jung: “There are demons, all right”

    Here is  a Carl Jung quote from long ago that I think highly appropriate to our time. It comes from the book C.G. Jung Speaking, edited by William McGuire and R.F.C. Hull, volume 97 (XCVII) of the Bollingen Series of publications. This interview with Peter Schmid was published on May 11, 1945 — only four…

    Why relying on guidance is practical — and how to do it Saturday, April 7, 2007 8 a.m. My friends, what have you to say about my blog, or self development by choice, or past lives, or your ongoing project working through me, or the price of eggs? The more pointed the question, remember, the more…

  • Jung — “Antithetical values nevertheless have their rights”

    Read this, perhaps, in light of the on-going political turmoil that has led to discussion of the possibility of the coming of fascism. Carl Jung would say, that’s what happens when too many people lead an inauthentic life! At least, Carl Jung as brought through by me in an  altered state. As always, there can…

  • So You Think Your Life Was Wasted (29)

    “Look not to political or economic remedies for your salvation!” Saturday, May 5, 2007 Michael Langevin and others asked if I had ever asked you to follow-up on the question of societies that had prevented hypertrophy of wealth. All right, we will proceed to a few words on other social organizations. But you may find…
