Working with a Dream image
Working with dreams gives me a newly certain awareness of the Self, an intelligence within me that is not mine, a force much greater than my small personality, something wiser that extends beyond me... Continue reading

The circus of our times
Image
I have recalled few dreams of late, but seen a waking nightmare of crowds adoring a man and moved to passion by his wound as though it were the bleeding wound of the Christ on the cross. Such colour, such noise, such songs of praise and worshipful hands and faces.... Continue reading

Silence
Recently, I watched an Irish movie called The Quiet Girl about a girl in a rather dysfunctional family who goes for a time to live with a kindly older couple. In one scene, where, typically, she does not respond to the older man's question, he says, "You don't have to... Continue reading

"There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so." (Hamlet)
Image
Last month after hip-replacement surgery, just moved into my new unit, and maybe because for the first time in almost two years I live alone, I became uncharacteristically anxious. The physiotherapist made it all sound easy, and he had obviously expected me to progress faster, but I was overwhelmed. Unpacked... Continue reading

Must the Animus always be Male?
Image
Last year, I think it was, I dreamed I was on a ship and a strange-looking woman with orange wildly flyaway hair and the protuberant eyebrows one often sees in old men was helping me dress for dinner. Later in that dream, she was going downstairs hugging a man in... Continue reading

Accepting Eros

Some months ago, I posted this sketch on facebook with these words from Jung: "The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are" and "The most terrifying thing is to accept ourselves completely." I was studying Jung at the time - again - and had thought I... Continue reading
