I sit in the cockpit of an old biplane and at first I’m not sure how to fly it.  I’m then flying low over water and I realize I need to pull back on the stick.  Once I do, I gain control of the plane and begin to fly over the harbor.  I [...]

December 11, 2008

“The persona is that which in reality one is not, but which oneself as well as others think one is.” ~ Carl Jung (CW 9i, par 221)
What does it all add up to?  All this social media activity with our interactions and our presence across multiple platforms (or stages as I like to think of [...]

Slingshotting

During the last week I’ve asked on Twitter for topics folks would like to see me cover in this space.  It led me to generate some real surprises and to cover some new territory.  In passing yesterday, @sidp3 asked “how did I come to the Jungian perspective?”  So…a bit of autobiography.

Heads or Hearts

December 3, 2008

[second in the series of requested post topics: @zamees pitched this.]
The argument between the head or the heart in decision making means allowing the rational to face off with the irrational.  By way of example I’d like to share a personal story.  This past spring I read this passage in “Celtic Queen Maeve and Addiction” [...]

Recently I’ve been ruminating on this quote from Carl Jung: “When an inner situation is not made conscious, it happens outside, as fate” I think we all know what it feels like when fate bites us.  It’s like having a viper strike suddenly from out of the tall weeds.  What Jung challenges us with is [...]

Antique Warehouse Visit

November 10, 2008

Dreams Unfolding
I’m at a very sunny plaza, and listening to a discussion about it’s developer, a talented and energetic man now dead, who steered each project toward its desired ends.

November 9, 2008

AziMuth
The collective emotional release for the supporters of Barack Obama and the international sigh of relief present the President-elect with new set of distinct challenges.  While the pundits are talking about delivering on change and the appointments to the new administration, I’d like to keep the focus on the people by focusing on the dynamics [...]
