I live in beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia, on the West Coast of Canada. Over the years I’ve learned a few things, some by formal study in the social sciences at University, like Sociology, Psychology, Anthropology and Demography, but even more by personal experience and informal study.
From about the age 13 (I’m 52 now), I voraciously read books about the human spirit and human relations, including countless “Self Help” books early on, but later investigated areas like Transpersonal Psychology, Jungian Psychology, and some less “scientific” areas like Metaphysics and Astrology. I recently started active therapy with a Jungian Analyst, and am re-exploring some of my early interest in Jungian Psychology.
In my late teens I delved into and even participated in some more so-called “Spiritual” disciplines, including Christianity, Transcendental Meditation, Buddhism, Zen, and Taoism, and continued to read and study widely about numerous other religions and philosophies for many years thereafter. For years I was quite interested in the thoughts of J. Krishnamurti. My focus lately has been more in-depth study of C.G. Jung’s ideas, but I’ve also been putting together some ideas of my own .
For most of my life I’ve had an insatiable itch, constantly questioning and challenging the meaning and purpose of my life, and of Life in general, but trying especially to discover, to understand, who, what and why people are the way that they are, and why we do the things we do.
At 13 I set out upon a life-long journey to find answers to these questions. Since then, I’ve read and learned a lot. A recent health-scare (Lung-clots) has changed my focus. My hope now is to leave something of value behind me, especially for my kids and grand-children, but also for those who might stumble in and perhaps be touched, awakened or even enlightened by something here. This website is that attempt.
