"Ken, Thanks so much for offering up your email and for your willingness to continue to engage. You're right!--The month went far too fast, and I know many of us would have wished to slow time a little to be able to take better advantage of this…"
"Hello All,
We are coming to the end of our all-too-short month of discussion around 'Eros and the Shattering Gaze'. I regret not having more time to consider this last and most important area of the book--transcending of narcissistic states and the…"

"Hello Chris and All. Sorry for the long gap between my entries. I have enjoyed the unraveling of your thoughts around what I would simply describe as a man's work to transcend the mother complex, and the 'royal mess' he's in when he avoids it. The…"
"Hello Nance. I commend you for seeking consultation on your case. Remember, the great thing about ongoing psychotherapy and analysis is that our enactments and snags in sessions are normal and often indicate that the therapist has been activated by…"
"In regards to your comments on the first quote that you bring up , Ken, the word "flattening" comes to mind. There is a great flattening of the self and the world and the soul and the world soul (done unconsciously within the narcissus pattern)…"
"Ken and Chris, thank you so much! Last week I finally decided I needed some supervision regarding a male client that is a narcissistic puer. I became uncomfortable b/c of what Ken describes when he wrote "but he is just as likely to be ever so…"
"Hello Chris and All. You make a very important point. Owing to the often 'exquisite sensitivity' of the male's thin-skinned ego complex, it will be very difficult to receive his wife or partner's 'truth' without defensiveness or retaliation.…"
"I can't really speak about the fantasy "fling partner" who the narcissist has taken up with in this scenario, as far as what she should or shouldn't do when she becomes aware of the narcissus pattern and her role in it , except to say that if she…"
"Hello, we're half way through the month, and If you are making the valiant attempt to read the book in its entirety in thirty days you will be in the midst of Part II. Regardless of where you are--just starting, a few chapters in, finishing…"
"Hello Chris. I don't go into the 'messiah-complex' per se, but there are references throughout--the Arthurian legend of Clinschor, the Sorcerer in Chapter 6; and vignettes about Torquemada and Hitler in Chapter 7, etc. While I'm not completely sure,…"
"Eros and the Shattering Gaze is very good book, Ken -- very helpful. Thank you for writing it. I haven't read it all yet. I've skipped around and have read chunks from different sections . I've gotten a lot of juice from the book. It's packed…"
"Hello Nance and Bonnie. First of all, thank you for sharing your personal story, Nance. Your disclosure is so human and it's richly appreciated. This is REAL STUFF, is it not? I cannot add to your important discussion about the woman's role in the…"
"Hello Thankful. I hope you try to resend your question and comment so the group has an opportunity to discuss them. "
"Bonnie, apparently there was a tech grimlin b/c it is this post that mention above. When I tried to reply to it this morning (2x) it was deleted.
So here is my reply. It is my personal and professional experience that in relationship one or the…"

"Ken, Thank you so much for that clarification. In a 1979 Bertolucci film, La Luna, the mother/son bond and incest is explored. I bring it up b/c it was the first time, I realized that as a single mother (I was 26) of a 8 year old boy, I…"
"Thank you writing Nance. I will try to respond to your very thoughtful question. Simply put, a mother can be both the nurturing anchor as well as the seductive goddess to her adoring or needy son. The quote you cited originates from a mythological…"
