“Intergenerational Complexes in Analytical Psychology: The Suffering of Ghosts …This book shows how the cultural unconscious with its multiple group dynamics, identities, nationalities, seething differences of conflicts, polarizations, and individual personalities are organized by cultural complexes and narrated by archetypal story formations, which the author calls ‘phantom narratives’. …” (Amazon.com) *** Background: Since signing upContinue reading “Ghosts In the Attic”

REBIRTH
“True initiation is a response to an inner calling; it requires that you face personal challenges heroically, and to experience a genuine rebirth into a new way of being.” Alberto Villoldo, PhD Ask any screaming newborn just forcefully squeezed out of its mother’s womb like toothpaste from a crumpled tube, how pleasant birthing can be.Continue reading “REBIRTH”
Siwar Q’enti – The Royal Hummingbird
The image above may be of a Violet Sabrewing or a Costa Rican Hummingbird rather than a Peruvian Royal Hummer, but when I saw it staring back at me, I remembered that in Peruvian Shamanism the hummingbird (Siwar Q’enti) represented the North direction and embarking on the epic migratory journey while connecting into the HigherContinue reading “Siwar Q’enti – The Royal Hummingbird”
The Pains of Initiation
So far I’m not sure how to frame this year 2020—to attempt to put it into some comprehensible context for proper assessment. I mean what perspective can you use to wrap your arms around something this immensely prickly and caustic? Assessing 2020 is like hugging a 30-foot tall saguaro cactus and hoping that you don’tContinue reading “The Pains of Initiation”
Alberto Villoldo’s Guided “Journey to the Upper World”
Just passing this option along to anyone interested in experiencing the standard Shamanic guided journey—this one being to the Upper World for specific purposes or for asking key questions. These shamanic journeying experiences are fairly subjective, and usually you will travel to the Lower World prior to going above, so when he talks about acquiringContinue reading “Alberto Villoldo’s Guided “Journey to the Upper World””
Explaining the Five Planes of the Upper World
I had recently read Alberto Villoldo’s blog posts on the five planes of the Upper World, and thought I could recognize some aspects that I personally had witnessed during my own Shamanic Journeying or had unexpectedly “seen” for myself during sudden glimpses of planes of existence beyond on our own. Villoldo’s 1st and 2nd planeContinue reading “Explaining the Five Planes of the Upper World”
Spirit Home: ‘The Upper World’ per Alberto V.
While I in my limited knowledge, proceed to explain subtle energies and the subtle realms co-existing with our own physical earthly realm, I find that Alberto Villoldo is at the same time also providing excellent references to what I’m trying to describe here about the energy body, so I will also offer his explanations hereContinue reading “Spirit Home: ‘The Upper World’ per Alberto V.”
Our Karmic History Per Alberto Villoldo
Interesting find this morning on Facebook: Alberto Villoldo briefly discusses Karma and the human energy-field cocoon or as he calls it “the luminous egg”—how at death, our seven individual body-chakra energy centers upload all energy information into the eighth chakra (above our heads) that represents ‘our Spirit container‘ for this lifetime. He talks about howContinue reading “Our Karmic History Per Alberto Villoldo”
“Great Opportunities Disguised As Impossible Situations”
Because I like sharing information that is pertinent and insightful, I’m putting a Dr. Joe quote on here. I’ve been a fan for over a year; and he has numerous YouTube videos of his conferences and workshops to watch if you are interested. Dr Joe Dispenza – OFFICIAL NEWS & FAN PAGE “We are allContinue reading ““Great Opportunities Disguised As Impossible Situations””
Making Sense
Quote taken from a recent show promo exploring unusual happenings around us: “Not everything in life makes sense,” she said to him, wiping tears from his cheeks. “Sometimes, LIFE just IS.” I’m sure that we’ve all had some strange or unusual experience that made us question whether or not it had actually occurred, or whetherContinue reading “Making Sense”
On Pursuing Personal Transformation
I will occasionally mention resources available to you, whether books, or people, or courses that might help open you to your true higher potential. One of those information sources that I’ve found most helpful during my earlier growth period was Alberto Villoldo, PhD—psychologist, anthropologist, modern shamanic teacher of the ancient Peruvian Medicine Wheel philosophies/techniques whoContinue reading “On Pursuing Personal Transformation”
