I look forward to seeing you there.

This terrifying article provides the coherent rationale for the otherwise inexplicable destructive actions of the current US administration and others. Or am I just paranoid? If only...

Read it, decide for yourself, and repost it if it makes sense to you too.

I am honoured to join this line-up of expert presenters from diverse disciplines for this very special gathering in Pari, a beautiful historic Tuscan village. The common thread is wholeness which was so vital to Jung that he identified it as the goal of individuation. paricenter.com/event/radica...

History repeats itself?
Max Ernst painted this shortly after the Spanish Civil War began in 1936, deeply worried by the spread of fascism. Of his Fireside Angel, he said: “This is obviously a highly ironic title for a sort of wild creature that wrecks and devastates everything that gets in its way."

I started planning this column a while ago, but I kept imagining it wouldn't be necessary, as many other journalists would surely get there first. I've been scratching my head ever since, wondering "where is everyone?" Is this not a huge and obvious issue?

In just one month Trump and his cronies have behaved not just as fascists, but as imperialists. It is easy to lose our bearings in the noise. This film is a timely, vital and unsentimental reminder of the human potential for truth, goodness and beauty. See for yourself!

Here's a link to an essay that I was invited to submit to the Journal of Analytical Psychology. It is an updated summary of my eponymous book, and begins with Jung's warning that "the world today hangs by a thin thread, and that thread is the psyche of man".

Another offering from Private Eye magazine to mark the occasion of an inauguration that I wish was just a bad dream...

It may be a cliché that a picture can tell a thousand words, but in this instance I'd say it's true.

I am an advisor to the Pari Center, and familiar with most of the presenters, so can highly recommend this online series starting tomorrow. If you want to understand synchronicity correctly (and even many Jungians don't!) this should be well worth your time.

We are accelerating down this slippery slope, so I pledge never to knowingly post disinformation.

That said, I welcome encounter and healthy debate—how else can we move beyond singing to the proverbial choir? This feels like the greatest hurdle to overcome in our fragmented and polarised world.

Stating the obvious is sometimes a necessary wake-up call!

You'll be shocked to hear I wrote a thing, and doubly shocked that it is not nice about Silicon Valley. www.theguardian.com/society/2024...

From David Graeber's classic piece called "Against Economics."
