The Unconscious and the Spirit World

 I'm just going to quickly note an idea I had as I was trying to think of what to write.

My thought is that if one has learned how to let information and energy flow between the conscious and unconscious elements of the psyche, then one is bringing "heaven" and "earth" together. When people are free to be their true selves and to move freely, then assemblages of balanced psyches can be formed. In such assemblages the individuals are connecting with each other both on the conscious and unconscious levels, and the distinction between "spirit world" and "material world" starts to dissolve and people exist in both realms throughout the day.

Slowing down, speeding up

 Last Friday was the three-week mark since I "launched my book project" and I am pleased with the results of my first three weeks of daily blogging. What the writing has helped to do is to locate myself on the map that shows the pathways to effective dissemination of one's new ideas to those who are meant to receive them. I have ideas, ideas that I think people need to receive. But just as my wife sometimes admonishes me to use fewer words (not so much recently, I am pleased to say) orally, I am now going to try to drastically reduce the ratio of words written to words read and to reduce the frequency of posting. I am releasing myself from the obligation to write a post every day. Part of the reason I am able to do this is that tonight at 8pm (ET) I am meeting with my morning Focusmate partner to discuss the possibility of a weekly accountability relationship. Since we are both engaged in the labor of writing words that we believe are inspired, that we believe need to be ...

A Vision of the Future of Jungian Typology

  What is our vision for the future of Socionics in the world? Here’s my vision: Professional coaches, therapists, and organizational development consultants using the principles of Socionics in their day-to-day work– around the world Groups of lay people all over the world, studying amongst themselves, coaching and helping each other, constantly bringing in new people and teaching them the principles. Meeting online and in person. The principles continually spreading. How do we get there? ‘Pan-Jungian Typing Games’-- a global competition to see whose model of Jungian type discernment works best. All comers: MBTI partisans, Socionics enthusiasts, ‘unaffiliated’ Jungian type thinkers. The rules are simple: each team has two or more ‘squads’ who interview ( in person ) a subject of unknown type. In a sealed room, the first squad conducts their interview, then confers like a jury in a separate room, then a second interview is done, with the subject and the squad discussing the video o...

Something New on the Horizon - a new Institute

 Yesterday evening I attended a Zoom meeting of the NYC Socionics Society, after two years hanging around the margins of two Socionics groups on Facebook. I feel like the game has suddenly changed. I told the group that I want the concepts of Socionics to take their rightful place in the American landscape, going head to head with the MBTI and the Enneagram. And folks liked the idea. One person in particular seems to be right with me-- she said "We need to get a better name!" (i.e., than Socionics-- not just for American ears, but for the global academic community, I assume she also meant.) What needs to be done? I believe that we need to excavate the source material used by the architects of both the MBTI and Socionics-- Jung's type descriptions in Chapter 10 of Psychological Types . Do we all need to read the previous nine chapters? I don't think so, but it would be nice to pull in a collaborator who has actually read the whole book and understands it. I have the ou...
