Jung believed a person’s individual unconscious acts as a bridge between the collective unconscious and the conscious.

What if the psychologist’s collective unconscious was modern quantum physic theory’s quantum field?

From this point of view, the so-called unconscious mind could be explained as a connection between the physical brain and the quantum field. Thus, by “transparentizing” this connection from our learned unconscious information or mind...

People in the earliest recorded times believed in the magical power of quartz crystals.

In addition, new evidence shows that history is much older and much more advanced than what our history books have recorded—advanced not only from a technological point of view but also in consciousness. Many stories of aboriginals and indigenous peoples around the world attest to this, extending back into the Bronze Age and Neolithic prehistory.

Have you noticed the strong push in today’s world to be rational? What if what most of us know as logic is not what it seems?

According to Friedrich Nietzsche, a famous nineteenth-century German philosopher, “The irrationality of a thing is no argument against its existence, rather a condition of it.” We generally consider things to be “true” because they are rational. But rationality is not necessarily a criterion for existence. The lack of a rational...

“I am not who you think I am; I am not who I think I am; I am who I think you think I am.”
—Charles Horton Cooley, Human Nature and the Social Order

For me, this quote illustrates perfectly the real origin of what most of us think as our individual or collective knowledge, or the information stored within our minds.

Social construct theory centers on the notion that meanings are developed in coordination with others, rather than separately within each individual...

If you go to a kindergarten or first grade classroom, you will see boys crying, holding hands, hugging each other, and expressing love and joy openly. Unfortunately, these behaviors are rare among older boys and grown men these days.

The “fact” that most men do not express their emotions is known to all of us in our Western society. If you ask a man why he doesn’t express his emotions openly, you’ll like receive some version of these very common responses:...

We are living in days when love and natural affection are decreasing rapidly. We see this epidemic every day, and we don’t have to look far to see it—in our own families and in our hearts. Many people lack natural affection for many reasons. But what you may not be aware of is we may lack affection due to unconscious information learned from our surroundings, families, cultures, and societies. In other blogs, we’ve mentioned that our mother wound could be one of the causes...

Most of us associate gratitude with being thankful to someone who has helped us or given us a gift. Some might say it’s an emotion or feeling or the state of being grateful. Others might think of it as a deeper appreciation that produces a longer lasting positivity. Whatever gratitude means for you, it might hold the key for a more fulfilled life.

Evolution has given us a brain with what scientists call a “negative bias,” which makes it prone to feeling threatened and...

“You are a link in a chain of causation that stretches before and after your life for thousands of generations.”

—Rev. Chris Michaels, founding minister of the Center for Spiritual Living

Maybe you’re not aware, but your behaviors have an origin—one you may never think of. It’s not necessarily genetic, as you may believe. Rather, the origin is within your mind, passed down through many generations.

What we see as our daily behaviors,...

What does it take to be a good healer or become a good holistic practitioner? I get this question a lot.

I have come to an answer—forged by twenty plus years as a crystal healer and holistic practitioner working with one-on-one clients and leading workshops, by practicing several spiritual disciplines, and by engaging in countless courses in both crystals and other holistic modalities. I have also learned through intensive research as a journalist; profound self-inquiry; and...

When I googled the word mother, this is what I found: “Your mother is the woman who gave birth to you. You can also call someone your mother if she brings you up as if she was this woman” (collinsdictionary.com).

Elsewhere, I found “The Meaning of Being a Mother”: “A mother is a selfless, loving human who must sacrifice many of their wants and needs for the wants and needs of their children. A mother works hard to make sure their child is equipped with the...
