By seeing differently, we do differently

Ecology movements, futurism, feminism, urbanism, protest and disarmament, personal individuation cannot alone save the world from the catastrophe inherent in our very idea of the world. They require a cosmological vision that saves the phenomenon 'world' itself, a move in soul that goes beyond measures of expediency to the archetypal source of our world's continuing peril: the fateful neglect, the repression, of the anima mundi.

In the cosmology that's behind psychology, there is no reason for anyone to be here or do anything.

Follow the lead of your symptoms, for there’s usually a myth in the mess, and a mess is an expression of soul.

Reconnecting to the animal means getting to a more sensitive, more artful and more humorous place in the psyche.

We cannot be studied or cured apart from the planet.

One strand of psychotherapy is certainly to help relieve suffering, which is a genuine medical concern. If someone is bleeding, you want to stop the bleeding. Another medical aspect is the treatment of chronic complaints that are disabling in some way. And many of our troubles are chronic. Life is chronic. So there is a reasonable, sensible, medical side to psychotherapy.
