In these socially volatile times, it takes character strength, courage, and trust in ourselves, to remain optimistic. We know Feminine strength (not macho blustering), is not about building muscles or physical prowess. It’s about having a vision, the will, and the emotional fortitude, to be who we say we are, obtain what we say we…
Is humanity’s survival dependent upon remembering, then reactivating, our purest ancestral roots? I’m not referring to cultural, religious, national, or familial allegiances – our roots go back much further than that! I am suggesting a 300,000 year old universal reunion with our original animal souls – the part of us that knows how to heal…
If consciousness is the ‘awareness of yourself and the world around you’, it must surely evolve as new experiences impact our self-perceptions and world perspectives. During the past 22 months this ever-changing pandemic experience has certainly impacted everyone’s consciousness. Our sense of Self is mutating, just like the virus, threatening our physical and emotional health.…
How did we get this way? And has valuing exclusion over inclusive cooperation been a winning long-term strategy? Maybe it’s served a very few very well, but the masses have experienced a far different evolutionary experience, filled with lifetimes of grief, loss and indentured servitude. Humanity’s collective history documents how the masses were typically treated…
A client recently reminded me how retributionally satisfying it can feel to express self-righteous anger. Maybe that’s because all living souls share prior life experiences of being murdered, tortured, persecuted, or suffering some form of gross injustice. Doesn’t having unconscious memories of unavenged conflicts, and/or unreconciled debt-obligation-based relationships, compel us to want our wrongs righted?…

(Fortunately, we all know of many exceptions to this generalization, yet history and our personal experiences confirm its undeniable accuracy.) Simply examine our over-loaded prison system (84% men)…
Mankind’s hubris supports an illusion that controlling the external physical world will keep us safe. But I believe it’s the long overdue maturation of masculine impulse contol that will curb humanity’s destructive and violent tendencies, keeping us all safer. As women we have lived most of our female past lives as victims of misogyny, child-abuse,…
In 2020, humanity co-created a full frontal assault on itself. Masculine patterns of abuse, violence and destruction had become so normalized, we started using the phrase “existential crisis” to describe our world’s finite future. Universally damaged immune systems, shrinking animal kingdoms, and GMO-flora, would not recover if we continued to enable the status quo. So…
80 years ago, WWII opened the minds and hearts of American women. Filling men’s jobs gave us glimpses of our capabilities, and what we might become – if only allowed. Pandora’s box had opened exposing the big lie …patriarchy-imposed gender discrimination, was our intended fate. But Feminine archetypal consciousness had sufficiently expanded to begin defying…
The human psyche, and its collectively-shared unconscious, inherited mythological archetypes with different stereotyped behaviors and viewpoints (Feminine : Masculine), embedded in our personal perceptions and world perspectives. It’s probably not news to you, that comparisons have been made between the Feminine Archetype aligning with America’s Democratic Party, and the Masculine being more represented by Republicans.…
