More Research and What Makes Us–Us
In the last two blogs I talked about some key factors that influence each of our lives. I mentioned archetypes, and in the last blog we discussed basic personality traits, and our beliefs. I want to start off in this blog with just a few final extensions of beliefs, primarily that of myths we believe […]
Like a Private Eye Collecting the Evidence
Last Blog I talked about ‘connecting the dots and the first one I talked about was archetypes and how they influence our lives. So, what are some of the other dots out there we can connect? And, if so, how can we connect them? Well, some of the dots we don’t often really think about, […]
Connecting the Dots.
In the last blog I talked some about how we could ‘connect the dots’ in our lives and why it may be helpful to do so. So, I’ll talk about what some of the dots are and, in this blog, I’ll talk about models we follow, often unconsciously, which create paths for us in our […]
Is Space the Final Frontier—or Is It?
“Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds; to seek out new life and new civilizations; to boldly go where no one has gone before!” (Wikipedia, 1966). If you ever watched the TV ‘Star Trek’ series, you heard those words. We likely wouldn’t […]
Sometimes Dream about Wanting a Big Change? Maybe You are Getting ‘Signs’
Sometimes feel like you’re in a funk and can’t seem to get out of it? Have you ever thought about why you may keep getting these thoughts? Let’s talk about that. While it sometimes may seem like we can break out of a cycle we’re in, We can break negative cycles, or we can begin […]
Getting to Know Ourselves Better
How well do we really know ourselves? How can we know ourselves better? Psychology is an imperfect science—science continuously researches how to delve deeper into the psyche and develop continually improving treatment techniques. It is an ongoing process. We can now assess which mental activities emanate from certain parts of the brain, even which part […]
What Can Cave Walls Teach Us?
Each blog I write looks at aspects of our lives that affect us, perhaps even what we do every day. I don’t know about you, but I’m barraged with social media all around me, it cuts into my day and my personal life. Every day I seldom stop ‘till I get home from work. If […]
Storytales from Childhood: How Archetypes Shape Who We Become
First, I have to share that none of the blogs I write and publish were created or edited by Chat GPT. I have nothing against those who use it, it’s just that I want to write about my own research and thoughts, not something created by AI. I don’t like to take shortcuts. That said, in this session’s blog I want to write about an important facet of our human history, what I call psychological alchemy—storytelling. Our lessons from earliest childhood often come from storytellers, though […]
Time As A Circle: Why History And Ancestry Keep Echoing In Our Lives
Introduction In the last blog post, I mentioned we would begin to excavate more about what our ancestry and origins reveal and how it may have an effect on us in the present. I’ll begin by sharing a little history and a little physics, starting with time. Time is often discussed as a circle. In […]
The Archaeology of the Soul: Finding Meaning in Everyday Signs
Life doesn’t stop sending signs just when we’re lost, it whispers directions to us softly with a feather, a clock that stops, or a number you see again and again. Signs don’t speak in words, they speak through time and symbols. As we uncover these remnants, we are reminded of how we can glimpse traces […]
