Thank you, Ed.
Looking forward to sharing more. Just learning how to navigate within this site. My focus is creating film to help increase awareness of connecting deeply to the heart, guide people to move deeply within to discover the true Self. Have a peaceful day.

Ed,
Thanks for your greeting. Still getting acquainted with how Internet communities work. Hopefully I can get up to speed soon. Thanks. Gina
Ed,
Thanks for your comments on my experience of spiritual emergence/y. I like your comment that neither psychiatry-speak nor fundi-speak can adequately reflect such experiences. In your opinion, what "speak" should you and other professionals use in responding to experiencers, to be helpful rather than useless or harmful? If I had come to you, how would you have responded to me?

Ed - Thanks for the welcome! Yes, I have a perfectly conventional PhD in psychology from the U of South Carolina (which I too have learned not to abbreviate). Following that I specialized mostly in addiction treatment and retired a few years ago. In retirement I have followed my long time interest in depth psychology and allied matters arising from an experience -- I would call it a spiritual emergence or emergency now -- from when I was a young housewife with two small children, long before I ever thought about taking a PhD in psychology. An important lesson I learned from it, and from my PhD studies and subsequent experience, is that western spiritual/psychological guides are woefully unprepared when it comes to dealing with people who have spiritual transformative experiences. I was fortunate enough to survive mine and even thrive because of it, but many lives are seriously damaged because of misguided "treatment," especially the indiscriminant use of powerful neuroleptic drugs.
I wrote an account of my experience at the request of a couple of young friends who wanted it for their blogs. You can see it at

I'd love to have any comments from you.

Hello Ed,
Thank you for note. It is good to have this group available as often collegues are hard to come by. It may be of interest to you, since you have an attraction the raven image (mosaic) to read van Gogh's comments in his letters about the birds. My dissertation was An Archetypal Analysis of the Letters of Vincent van Gogh: A Study in Natural Individation. Birds were an important part of his psychic energy.
My best,
Mariana
Thank you for the warm welcome Ed. I'm pleased to know that you like that blog. It was created as a starting point for individuals who have experienced ego collapse (my preferred term for psychosis) and are seeking some alternative routes to treatment and perspective.
I'm not certain how active I'll be here but I'm pleased to be in like company.

Dear Bonnie and Ed
Thank you very much for your warm welcome to this community!
I am excited to join in and participate!
I love how I just stumbled across this. Dig where you fall and find treasure...
I can't believe this is for reals!
I keep thinking, how come I haven't heard about this after so many years at Pacifica. This is amazing!
Thank you again,
Monika
