Calm down the Ego
Recently I saw a video from Allan Watts. Interestingly enough this meditation tutorial used different Mantras, or magic words for practical purpose. So he used appropriate words from the Hindu context, from the Christian context and from the Sufi context. He talked also about the necessity to stop the internal chattering, to calm down the...
Spiritual hiking weekend of a catholic tribe howling like wolves
Management summary: Spiritual hiking weekend of a catholic tribe howling like wolves. The theme was wolves. Is that the catholic answer pentecostal? It seem it is. Amazing weekend indeed.

Leni Riefenstahl – Three strikes and you're out.
Whatever you can say about Leni Riefenstahl (1902-2003) and plenty of people have said (and written) a lot about her, she led a fascinating life. She was beautiful and talented. She was a woman in a man’s field. She made her career during Hitler’s Third Reich. Three strikes and you’re out. Riefenstahl’s life Despite (I...
Richard Wagner from Scene to Scene utilizing C.G. Jung
“Wagner’s Ring and Its Symbols” originally published 1984. (Engish and German article). I wanted to learn more about Wagner and bought therfore recently a used copy of the English musicologist Robert Donington. He provides an allegorical interpretation of the Wagners Ring Cycle according to the criteria music, drama and the psychological analysis of C.G. Jung. I have...
Rainy Götterdämmerung in Munich.
This is a very personal take on the opera cycle by Richard Wagner’s “Ring” from a Jungian perspective, how the themes of the Ring, though universal, specifically apply to our lives today. Kent Nagano The Munich Opera Festival draws for over 130 years opera fans to Munich, and as one of the oldest international festival...

C.G. Jung and Germany´s shadow(s)
Especially in Europe depth psychology has been shoved aside precisely because it is politically incorrect and challenges established powers of all kind. C.G. Jung raises people’s conscious levels of awareness and favors free thinking. This is definitely uncalled for in all the orthodoxies and by the global economy. Particularly revealing is if one applies psychological...
Das soziale Unbewusste und C.G. Jung ist aktueller denn je, und Deutschland gehört (wieder) auf die Couch.
Jung übernahm zwar aus der Psychoanalyse die Begriffe Bewusstsein und Unbewusstes, differenzierte aber letzteres in ein persönliches Unbewusstes und das kollektive Unbewusste. Was ist also neu am Sozialen Unbewussten. Nichts. Im persönlichen Unbewussten geht es bei ihm um persönliche Traumata oder sonstige Erfahrungen und Impulse, die ein Individuum aus den Tiefen des Unbewussten heraus steuern. C....
