Eva, I am unable to sign up for the webinar. But I do find our connection to being remarkable ! I also saw Bonnie tweeting about Stephan Hoeller, I recently had to be in southern California, and I decided to go to the service at the Gnostic church that Hoeller has and it was remarkable and I did experience an alchemical reaction during and after the service that has stayed with me till now. I have known Stephan for a long time. My first class in Alchemy was attending his lectures on Alchemy & Jung back in the seventies. I am truly enjoying the connection that is occurring with us.

"Well, so then, this is a phenomenon in the physical world and then mind is a phenomenon in the Cartesian distinction, which is between the Res Extensa and the Res Verins. This is the great splitting of the world into two parts. I remember Al Wong once said to me, we were talking about the yin yang symbol, and he said you know the interesting thing is not the yin or the yang, the interesting thing is the s shaped surface that runs between them. And that s shaped surface is a river of alchemical mercury. Now, where the alchemists saw this river of alchemical mercury is in the boundary between waking and sleeping. There is a place, not quite sleeping, not quite waking, and there there flows this river of alchemical mercury where you can project the contents of the unconscious and you can read it back to yourself. This kind of thinking is confounding to scientific thought where the effort is always to fix everything to a given identity and a given set of behaviors".

Lera and Eva: Love all the evident synchronicity here! I'm feeling grateful of the the opportunities that McKenna points to, and there will be much more to come, I'm sure...

Hi Lera,

Maybe you would consider joining the Webinar that Bonnie and I are doing beginning this Thursday at 5pm PT on this subject? It is "Jung, Alchemy and the Tree of Life"? I felt excited to ask you as the timing is so in sync?

Lera Welch May 18, 2015 at 10:31pm

Indeed it is extraordinary, I am excited to keep connecting to see where this alchemical connection leads us. I been wanting to connect with you and Bonnie, and I have not had the time and here we are, it happened while I was busy working on other projects.

Lera,

This is the truly extraordinary part of it...Terence McKenna passed away on April 3, 2000! He was a true visionary shaman because as you point out his message is profoundly accurate for our time. The "World Wide Web" as it was referred to 15 years ago was still in its infancy as a technological connecting tool but now, here we are: Depth Psychology Alliance may have been envisioned long before it came into being and caught our Bonnie Bright and pointed the way. True synchronicity beyond time and space...what next?

I can't believe this I just met him too in an unexpected way through you tube & I was wondering if he should be referred to depth psychology alliance & here you are posting it.
