Broken-hearted, lost in a labyrinth, encountering angels

Posted on December 31, 2013 at 11:37am 0 Comments 1 Like

PSYCHOLOGICAL LIFE begins in the imagination. That’s one reason I have a sign in my office, dangling from the mantel, that asks clients if they have a dream to share or if something unusual happened since their last session.

The latter — odd, sometimes surreal experiences — often communicate at great depth what…

Elaine Pagels on the Book of Revelation

Posted on March 2, 2012 at 6:33am 0 Comments 0 Likes

The New Yorker has an interesting essay on Elaine Pagel's new book, "“Revelations: Visions, Prophecy, and Politics in the Book of Revelation” (Viking). I posted the following on Facebook about the New Yorker essay:

I grew up in the New Church, which is based on Swedenborg's symbolic reading of the Book…

Remembering the brilliant, cantankerous, imperfect James Hillman

Posted on October 31, 2011 at 1:14pm 1 Comment 0 Likes

I've written a pretty lengthy post on my personal blog, Sacred Disorder (linked below), about my struggle with James Hillman's work and my encounters with him during my years at Pacifica Graduate Institute. Here's the opening:

James Hillman, whose work I have long regarded as my intellectual mentor, died Thursday, Oct. 27.… Continue

Policing cyberspace, policing the psyche

Posted on April 21, 2011 at 3:28pm 0 Comments 0 Likes

I was recently referred by a client to a year-old New York Times article about images and the Internet. The article, “Policing the Web’s Lurid Precincts” by Brad Stone, specifically deals with how repeatedly viewing “depraved” images affects people hired to review content.… Continue

I checked out your site and look forward to having you share your thoughts on the different issues that surface in these groups. Also, feel free to launch a thread on one or more issues of particular interest to you. Fresh voices are always welcome.

I am a business coach, but I too use depth methods to help my clients reconnect with their deeper selves and move through blocks. In fact, my work today is very much influenced by my master's thesis which was entitled, "Images of Individuation: Using Collage to Inquire into the Nature of Disquiet." It was an amazing study and really changed my life as a business woman. That project focused on collage, but one could use drawing, or clay, or active imagination, or any number of non-rational methods to access what is outside of conscious thought for an individual. I will enjoy following your work.

So much value in community!--hope it gives you some ideas and valuable connections...

At 7:23am on January 7, 2011, Ed Koffenberger said…: Hello Cliff,

At 11:21pm on January 6, 2011, Bonnie Bright said…: Hi Cliff. Welcome to the Alliance! I know your name...but not sure from where. Pacifica? Twitter? Forgive me: I'm sure I should remember! Regardless, so glad you're here and looking forward to knowing you more! Enjoy the community!
