Archetype of the Fugitive

For instance your peers may believe that it is a great pleasure to get drunk each weekend, but your alienation from them enables you to escape from that worldview. It might have the same influence in regard to religion, politics and the general worldview around you. It might also enable you to take... More

Who Said Death Was The End

A woman told a similar dream to me. Her teenage son came down to breakfast looking very unhappy. When she asked him why he said he had a dream that deeply disturbed him. In it he was walking with a friend and the friend walked through a door. When her son tried to follow he could not pass through th... More

The Archetype of Death

What lies beyond death is conjecture for all of us except if we have had a near death experience. But the archetype of death we are considering is not completely about physical death. It is about our observation of it in others; our conceptions of it gained from our culture, and our impressions aris... More

Archetype of Crucifixion

In the Roman Catholic faith the symbol also represents something other than the presented one that Christ gave his life to redeem humanity. It is an image of the social organisation that Roman Catholicism was, and still is in some countries; namely an image of the sacrifice each individual makes of ... More

Archetype of Christ

other words, not to reject or kill out any aspect of oneself. Every part of self has a part to play. The light and the darkness only create wholeness when they balance each other. We become ill when we kill parts of self. But there is a way through the opposites, as shown in the dream of the Christ ... More

Archetype of the Anima – The female in the male

Can I recognise my own internal female, and if so what characteristics does it have? How is my relationship with my internal woman - perhaps in some way a negative image of my mother - influencing my relationship with my female partner(s)? In my dreams am I ready to marry or unite with my female? ... More

Tony’s Experience of Stroke

Fortunately Joe caught me, as CJ ran back up stairs, and together they sat me on the top step, to prevent me falling head first down the stairs. For a minute they gently tried to get my attention; tried to get me to speak and to move my arms, thinking at first that maybe I was just having a dizzy sp... More

Ancient Greece – Dream Beliefs

Analysis of Dreams

But foremost among the additions to the jewels of understanding garnered in the past, is that of insight into ones personal psychological history and personal traumas. This I believe is unique to our times, and not fully appreciated generally.... More

Communicating with Your Unborn Child

From the top of your crown chakra ( on the top of your head) create a gold ring which encapsulates a "hello-I see you." Send that gold ring "hello" over to your unborn baby's bubble. Notice what your baby's reaction is to this hello. What happens to its bubble? Do the colors and/or images around you... More

Age and Your Dreams

Do I think I am the sensory experience of my body? If so who am I in sleep when I lose the awareness of my body and exterior world? If I am my body, how do I account for its enormous changes in ageing, and the fact I have a sense of permanence amidst this change? ... More

William Blake – Psychologist

Bring me my Bow of burning gold -Bring me my arrows of desire; Bring me my spear; O clouds, unfold! Bring me my Chariot of Fire! I will not cease from mental fight, Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand, Till we have built Jerusalem, In England's green and pleasant land. ... More

The Power of Us

Your body is an excellent example of this. Supposing all the blood cells suddenly felt suicidal because they were not in the forefront of what goes on in your life; because they were not famous or in the limelight. That would be a mess. But when we each live our best the whole world is transformed. ... More

Shipwrecked in life

I have recently been experiencing the breakdown of my marriage. It was a marriage I was deeply proud of, a marriage I had carefully built and nurtured over many years. I am left feeling completely shipwrecked, run aground and my bearings lost. The awful thing is there is no one to blame, just the gr... More

The Nature versus Nurture Debate

From what has been said, the influence of “nature”, and the influence of “nurture”, both play enormous parts in our personal development or the inhibition of it. But if we are to really understand the forces out of which we emerge, we must perhaps see ourselves as being intricately interwove... More

A lighthearted look at my teens

I couldn’t help noticing myself in that large wall mirror over the gas fire. True, I always did notice myself in it every day and looked to see how my acne was coming on – I’d been spotty since 11 – but on that morning I really did notice myself. I had a good look at not just my spots, but a... More
