The personal layer ends at the earliest memories of infancy, but the collective layer comprises the preinfantile period, that is, the residues of ancestral life.</p>
<p>Whereas the memory-images of the personal unconscious are, as it were, filled out, because they are images personally experienced by the individual, the archetypes of the collective unconscious are not filled out because they are forms not personally experienced.</p>
<p>When, on the other hand, psychic energy regresses, going beyond even the period of early infancy, and breaks into the legacy of ancestral life, the mythological images are awakened: these are the archetypes. An interior spiritual world whose existence we never suspected opens out and displays contents that seem to stand in sharpest contrast to all our former ideas."</p>

<p>Start with a fresh page. Take up one hole more in the buckle if necessary, or let down one, according to circumstances; but on the first of January let every man gird himself once more, with his face to the front, and take no interest in the things that were and are past."</p>

<p>"Better to be a prey than a hunter. </p>
<p>Make yourself My fool.</p>

<p>I am the author of the book "The Shaman and Snow White: Ayahuasca, San Pedro, Shamanic States of Consciousness and Certificate 18 Healing" and the editor of the blog <a href="http://www.transitionconsciousness.org">www.transitionconsciousness.org</a>.</p>
<p>In 2010 I completed my masters degree in Holistic Science from Schumacher College. I am not too sure how many of you will know Schumacher College, but you will know many of the visiting lecturers, such as James Lovelock (who ran the very first course there 20 years ago), Jules Cashford, Margaret Colquhoun, the late Lynn Margulis, Margaret Colquhoun, Craig Holdrege, Arthur Zajonc, Rupert Sheldrake, Basil Hiley, F David Peat, David Abrams, Stanislav Grof, Iain McGilchrist, Vandana Shiva and many many more.</p>
<p>When Peter Reason came to teach us, we did a Council of All Beings, as he works closely with Joanna Macy.</p>
<p>The course was created by Margaret Colquhoun, a Goethian scientist, Henri Bortoft, a quantum physicist and Goethian philosopher, and the late Brian Goodwin, one of the most influential biologists on complexity and emergence. The course director is Stephan Harding, author of Animate Earth, and in his book he very much introduces Jung and also a way of knowing the world through myth to complement our way of knowing through logos.</p>
<p>Schumacher College was based on a vision of learning developed by Satish Kumar, modelled on an ashram. It is a communal college, and students live there fully participating in meditations, cleaning, gardening and cooking. The MSc is so much more than just formal teaching, it is specifically designed as a transformational process. The college focusses on science, economics and spirituality and takes its name from the late economist E.F. Schumacher, author of Small is Beautiful. It is a leading centre for ecological thinking, and as you can imagine there are many courses such as EcoPsychology, EcoLiteracy and other courses with a large proportion which could be identified as Depth Psychology.</p>

<p>You will find many of my papers on my blog, and you can find out more about my shamanic writings and papers on simonralli.wordpress.com.</p>
<p>Right now I am writing a new paper for Restoration Earth Journal on western and Amazonian mysticism, and I will be comparing amazonian shamanism with the mysticism and gentle empiricism of Goethe.</p>
<p>I hope some of these will be of interest to everyone, and I am extremely glad to have found this community.</p>
<p>I am in the process of moving to Brazil right now, and last year I ran various lectures and courses on Integral Thinking or Holistic Thinking, helping business students develop a more holistic mode of consciousness to help them better get to grips with chaos and complexity and how new advances in science can be applied in a business context as well.</p>

Dear Depth Psych Community,
I was wondering if anyone knows of any environmental law/justice based internships for a law school applicant. I am currently finishing my Master's in Depth Psychology, and applying for law school for fall admission. I know there is lots of work being done with regard to ecopsychology, and liberation psychologies and ecologies that might be connected to this community. I am returning to the Bay Area in California from a 6 month research appointment in Borneo examining freshwater management policy in January. Any ideas are much appreciated.
Thank you for all of your thoughts and consideration!
John</div>
