The Lure of the Forbidden

The forbidden is appealing perhaps because in it we “sense” the “reflections” of our “projected thoughts” regarding living our true self-”the self”, thoughts that are untempered by considerations of any external sanctions, even that of the constructed “self image”. The lure of the forbidden then is the lure of the true self-”the self”.
But why then that which appears to be emitting images of our true self-”the self” is deemed forbidden?

Anakin stood before the Jedi Council when Yoda asked “how feel you?”  The Collective felt he had fear within him well before he had known for himself.  So they pressed the issue.  Anakin admitted he was experiencing fear, but asked defensively, “what’s that got to do with anything?”  Yoda answered the immediate question with “EVERYTHING!”  Then he continued the explanation “fear leads to anger; anger leads to hate; and hate leads to destruction.”

Yoda is, of course, correct about a well-known e

How is the Self Created?

I've been dealing with the parental wound lately; the lack of mother love. It's funny but what the ups and downs of my relationship issues have been leading me to is not my animus but my Mother. I've come to realize that the great, big, gaping hole in me - the one that howls like a starving, half-crazed wolf - is Mother Hunger, hunger for love and nourishment, acceptance. Hunger for Home.

So I poked around the internet and, while there's surprisingly little on the internet about this specific for

THOUGHTS ABOUT THOUGHTS & MIND

What is Mind?

The Cosmic Story:  Cancer New Moon, July 19, 2012: Values to Live By

Love the earth and sun and the animals,
despise riches, give alms to everyone that asks,
stand up for the stupid and crazy,
devote your income and labor to others,
hate tyrants, argue not concerning God,
have patience and indulgence toward the people,
take off your hat to nothing known or unknown,
or to any man or number of men,
go freely with powerful uneducated persons,
and with the young, and with the mothers or families,

I'm a new member to this group, and would like to dialogue with others about some of the contributions that I've made to the field of depth psychology. For example : 1. In the 1980's I developed the Mythic Journey Process which integrated Gendlin's Focusing with Archetypal Psychology; in the 1990's I added Tai Chi/Qigong to this process to integrate movement 2. My Mystery of Personal Identity book was the first to integrate astrology with depth psychotherapy and introduce a hermeneutic perspecti

Permaculture and the Bios Factory (A Transition Buckle) New Myth 24 by Willi Paul,openmythsource.com

The Cascadia Tribal Council began transforming the broke and broken rural prison system into the Permaculture Bios System soon after WA, OR and NorCal left the United States for independence.

The leaders designed a way to not simply let all of the inmates go free but to offer them a valuable transition and survival course as a re-entry into the post-carbon landscape. Cascadia choose rural prisons

Transition Man. Interview with John Steere, Environmental Alchemist / Planner

“The 37’ goodwill wind mill swirls, scoops and directs concentrated dirty air from the East Bay Tribal zone into the interconnected bowels of Che-Lou’s Air Purification Machine. Grey water circulates and filters the air, powered by the battery house. Che-Lou cleans the unfiltered residue from wing #5 to make printing ink for the community paper. At the base of wing #6 the so-cal

It's been a while since I posted; there was that thing with having to pay, and although I knew it would be easy to figure out I just didn't have the energy/feel it was time for me to do much here. Lately, tho, I've been feeling and itch to get back involved in the community. And, as I figured, it was a piece of cake to pay a bit of money and get back into things.

I've been posting on my own blog regularly. I kept thinking to myself "I really should post this on the Alliance's website" with this p

It wasn’t the first time that day that Jesus had gotten into a boat. Now evening had come and it was time to get back into the boat and cross over to the other side.

I doubt there’s a person here this morning that will not at some moment hear these same words, “Let us go across to the other side.” Are we willing to launch our boat, face the storms, and find the grace of calm for our lives in the One who beckons us to cross over to the other side?

 Life is one crossing after another: Birth, marria

The Permaculture Sprout Cellar Network (A Transition Buckle).

New Myth 23 by Willi Paul, permaculture exchange

In 2015, Northern CA, Oregon & Washington seceded from the United States of America in a sacred coup d’état fueled by a feverish localism bent, new agriculture values and Transition spirits. That same year the new Union, called Cascadia, created a network for the protection of non-GMO seeds and other food sources, using decommissioned bomb shelters, root cellars and other protected under

Lifting the Veil
by Jane Kamerling and Fred Gustafson

The veil is not just a female garment to hide, protect, or humble Muslim women, but the curtain behind which resides the feminine principle, repressed in both East and West. Beneath the veil resides the unconsciousness of both cultures that become manifested in the politics of today.

The veil has emerged in the twenty-first century as an international symbol that holds a variety of meanings. The veil can
