Annoyances 2014
Well, one way to cope with them is to bring them from the preconscious, hardly articulated “mood” level to explicit and expressed consciousness, so here are some that have come up lately. They’re minor, residues of childish desires, but saying them neutralizes them a bit: – Having to put away stuff. I don’t mind taking […]

Why Enactment?
Enactment involves physically “doing” the action implied, rather than just thinking or even talking about it. It embodies the encounter that’s implied. Enactment is needed because it “anchors” what is expressed and associated insights in consciousness. One is more likely to remember the the intention behind the action or other thoughts that come to mind […]

The Twenty Basic Whatevers
I enjoy making lists, and part of that is an archetype. There’s a saying that there are two kinds of people: Those who divide things into two kinds, and those who don’t. Ha ha. But I realized that I tend to divide things into multiple sub-groups and often sub-groups of the sub-groups. I realized just […]

Chaos Amidst Order
This mandala hints at the swirling process of individuation. It’s never done. Mystically and poetically, God can’t help but to do through you.

(That’s me! and maybe […]

Further Evidence of Paradise
Well, if not paradise, it’s pretty great to us. My home town of Georgetown, Texas, north of Austin, in the middle of the state, has been listed as one of the 10 best American suburbs. We’ve been here about 14 years, at Sun City, Texas.

Translation Feature
The internet and technology in general continues to be mind-stretching. I asked about a new feature, the ability to insert automatic translations, and my son was able to insert this “app” or feature.
