"Dear everyone
This is as far as we got this time. My journey trough the Red Book has brought up many new thoughts as you might have gathered. I am grateful that so many people listed to it. Now I am concentrating on alchemy. I will be starting an…"

"No disrespect felt. This is a very important matter in the struggle with our innate fundamentalism which can't differentiate between facts and feelings. I think phenomenology is the way out of this quagmire."

"I think it might be useful to first let children understand what a fact is: Joey has curly hair, Joanne punched me. And then what a feeling is: I don't like the smell of poo. I feel afraid when it is dark. And then maybe for some time just…"

"I think that our first encounter with life is innocent. We don't make any distinction. Reverence for life is the most productive way of encountering the innocent perspective. I don't think what I am making is a Jungian distinction but a…"

"This feels like an important question that would require lots of conversation. So we might as well begin. I have not worked with children that age, though I had children of my own and a grandchild. So I'm no expert. I can give the objectives:…"

"Hi Janet,
Well today is April 15, tax day in the United States. As they say: two things in life are certain, death and taxes. To celebrate April 15 as one of the two certainties we have in life I will be doing a Q and A about the Journey into the…"

"Thank you so much for this story. I remember her telling it. It is good to remember how Jung eventually came over to Ilijah's side. But it did take a while and the Red Book shows the struggle it took. It is heartening to realize that in the end we…"

"My warnings about colonialism are very much in line with James Hillman's thinking. Colonizing is a way of assuming that the indigenous beings of the embodied imagination can not speak for themselves. It is a way of avoiding the phenomenon in the…"

"Hi Susan,
I think that is a very good addition to the thinking. Indeed 'Jung" the 'I' in the journey is a character whose subjectivity is just as imaginal as all the other beings in these realms. I think that the 'I' in the travelogue is a different…"

"Dear Chris. I was very moved by your rain of pus. I much respect what you did with your in-between nature. You're terrific. I want to add an alchemical note that may clarify the rainbow: actually, the first movement out of the dakness is not the…"

"The notion of 20,000 hues comes from the same Hillman article. It actually is the scientific study of the human ability to distinguish color into 20,000 shades. The way to work outside polarity is to stick closely to each phenomenon and see it as…"

"Wasn't Mary Magdalen the one who loved her Lord most? I don't want to enter this discussion. I have no judgment about the life he lived in a time I don't know. Things I did in the 1960s which were obvious to me then make me cringe today. I think…"
