The Archetypal Situation
When we experience heartbreak, tragedy, uncertainty, and grief, we are touched not only by our own personal, biographical layer of experience. Additionally, we find ourselves in an archetypal situation, a surrounding world where we are not alone.
Sitting next to us is every other human being who has also been shattered by pain, trauma, and sorrow. Depending on our cosmological orientation, perhaps also that of the animals, the earth, the mountains, and the stars who, too, know death.
Is it my pain alone that I am feeling, my personal emotional overwhelm, my trauma, my grief, my uncertainty, my anguish? It’s so much to hold. Or is it that of the ancestors, the stories and feelings and memories and images of those who have come before, or even have yet to come? It is not always easy to tell and the weight of tending to it all can be unbearable at times.
Here, the ancestors are not only those ones related to us genetically (my grandmother’s grandmother’s grandmother’s experience) but also our universal ancestors throughout history. These ones, too, have carried these same burdens, have struggled to find meaning in these experiences, and have through their longing come to unearth the wisdom, courage, and guidance buried in the darkness.
We can see or sense these ones in vision, prayer, and ritual, and also in fairy tales, mythology, literature, film, and religion, as well as hidden in secret places that we cannot name in words.
While recognizing our common humanity and history—and the vast relational field that we share with others who have come to know healing, wholeness, and mercy—doesn’t necessarily make the pain go away, it provides a context or container of holding in which we can find the strength, the hope, and the vision to find a way through, to discover a light that has never truly gone out.
To reveal to us that we are connected in ways that are not immediately apparent, but come shining through with the force of love in ways that will astonish us, if we will allow them.

Awareness of Attention
Just grab a hold of your attention and maintain that for increasingly longer periods of time and you will begin to know my world, which is yours in truth as well.
Every second that you are aware of your attention itself, you are in a state of self-recognition where more of your Source will be revealed to you, and innate abilities, most importantly of all: your deeper identity as an expanded consciousness, will be unveiled to you.
Awareness of attention is the state of mastery and the womb of endless possibilities and manifestations. Conversely; every second spent unaware of your attention is another moment spent in unintended victimhood, where your sense of who you are is governed by a program spoon-fed to you by your environment since birth.
Free yourself, my friend. Grab ahold of your attention. That is all. This is the master key to all realities, truths, and manifestations.

Linguist Noam Chomsky maintains that “when we study human language, we are approaching what some might call ‘the human essence’, the distinct qualities of mind that are, so far as we know, unique to man.” If you fill your speech and writing with prefabricated cliches, ramshackle abstractions and leaden expressions, you are denying the abounding creativity that is inherent in the very nature of human language. Thus it is that the manner in which you utter words, write words and receive words throughout your life determines how effectively and resourcefully you carry on the business of being a member of the human race. ~ Richard Lederer SD Union Tribune May 11, 2019
Book: “He: Understanding Masculine Psychology”
He: Understanding Masculine Psychology
“Entertaining, informative, thought-provoking, mysterious, poetic. Men who read it will surely learn much about themselves, and women—particularly those who are unfortunately misled into thinking of men as “the enemy”—will find it a real eye-opener.”—Ruth Tiffany Barnhouse, M.D., Th.M., Harvard University
Robert A. Johnson’s classic work exploring the differences between man and woman, female and male—newly reissued.
What does it really mean to be a man? What are some of the landmarks along the road to mature masculinity? And what of the feminine components of a man’s personality?
Women do not really know as much about men as they think they do. They have developed, over the centuries, considerable expertise in the technique of adapting to men, but that is not the same as truly understanding them. Women often labor under the delusion that life is really pretty easy for men, at least when compared to their own lot, and they have no idea what a complicated struggle is really involved in the transition from male childhood to real manhood.
As timely today as when it was first published, He provides a fascinating look into male identity and how female dynamics influence men.

Book: “Healing the Soul of America: Reclaiming Our Voices as Spiritual Citizens”
Healing the Soul of America: Reclaiming Our Voices as Spiritual Citizens
Discover healing that reaches beyond the self from #1 New York Times bestselling author and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Marianne Williamson.
In this landmark work, Marianne Williamson reminds us that there is a point in everyone’s spiritual journey where the search for self-awareness can turn into self-preoccupation. All of us are better off when contemplation of holy principles is at the center of our lives. But it is in applying those principles in our lives that we forge the true marriage between heaven and earth.
In the compassionate but clear-eyed prose that has won her so many avid readers, Williamson shows us that the principles which apply to our personal healing also apply to the healing of the larger world. Calling on Americans to turn the compassion in our hearts into a powerful force for social good, Williamson shows us how to transform spiritual activism into a social activism that will in turn transform America into a nation seriously invested in the hope of every child and in the potential of every adult.
