so much is taught about turning away, how dangerous our souls are, not how beautiful, so of course people ru, because there is pain and there has been too little real diaogue lately. I feel, of the utter availability of healing that pain and then, of living further and ch...
This is so true. Why are we so afraid of confronting ourselves? It is the one thing we have absolute power over and can change if we don't like what we see.
Wellll, I think it is simply because so much of the major religion's teaching about life makes being withoneself the scariest and awfullest thing that could be instead of the coming..or better, being...home that it is. and most of the societies that we know base their...
dricheson, Great to see a Jung quote; thanks for posting it.
Are you familiar with Jungian analyst and author, James Hollis? Have you read Hillman, von Franz, or Woodman? Again, I appreciate your choice of quotes.

I'm reading the James Hollis book on the "wounding & healing of men" right now-- well, just starting it. Many of my friends have raved about it. I'll let you know what I think.
I love the quote you add above, as well. I absolutely agree.
You're the first person I've ever 'met' who has read/is reading Hollis. :) I'm so glad. I guarantee you will love his writing. I saw that title; it looked compelling. I may read it and perhaps pass it along to my ex-husband and my son. So, let me know how you feel ...

I'd like to share something with you Gelu. You may have gathered from reading some of my other posts that I'm a serious student of Jungian depth psy...
I am thanking you for this reply. I guess I forgot how to write long responses since I came to work for this company, one year ago. The Universe is really a magical place when everything can happen. And miracles do happen. One of them is that we are still alive, breathing...
Excellent! It is, after all, the soul that matters... Carl Jung offers such insight. I have also gained much insight from Thomas Moore, author of "Care of the Soul" and "Soul Mates", who has written articles in the field of Jungian ps...
It certainly is too true. The only thing that helps me even a little is that I am just not smart or crafty enough to get away from ALL of it. (Not that I dont avoid looking at a lot of it.) ;)
