1M ago1:39:02

1:39:02

“Symbols move in and out of people’s lives as realities. To skirt through symbolism into real life and then back and forth, is the art of the symbol. Moving in and out, making sense of it, weaving tales around the astrological placement, that’s what we do with dreams, as well. And the underlying element is that this stuff is real.

EP147 Mercury as the voice of the Ego 22:13

4M ago22:13

Following on from last week's episode, inspired by Eckhart Tolle's A New Earth, I recorded some thoughts I had about the method in which the Ego makes itself known and communicates with us.
