• Magic Mirror On The Wall : How We See Others…

  The readers must see me on a roll, writing one post a day. Not at all. I am still the same, overwhelmed by my present. I found these writings as drafts. I had meant to post them over years, but just got too busy. This writing already exists on ezine, being from 2010 or thereabouts.…

• Transformations Thru Creativity

  I love gardening. I simply love it. And I love growing roses in my garden. I currently have over 200 of them. When they bloom together in early spring, I feel I am in heaven. Thousands and thousands of happy rosebuds open themselves up to the elements in a display that is beyond words. My…

• My struggles with Father Time

  I haven’t written. There is no excuse really, except that I am Time constrained. Not writing, for me, is like not brushing my teeth, or not showering. Writing cleanses, and when I don’t write, I feel uncleansed, messy, disorganized. Thank god for my journal, else I’d be even more disoriented than I currently feel. Over…

• Further Thoughts on Hope…

  I had planned on writing a more detailed expose on Hope after my return, but demands on my time are many, and so for now my psyche can only bring forth this brief piece. I am confident that the rest will show up in some shape or form in my subsequent writings, for the part of…

• Perceptions of Time

  “People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between   past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.” -Albert Einstein Long ago, around the year 2001/2002, I went to my first Vipassana meditation retreat, where I had some extremely powerful experiences. It was there, amidst the eternal silence of the majestic redwoods, the pure mountain…

• The dynamic dance of Non-duality & Separation

  For a long time, I have been wanting to write about the dance of duality and non duality that engages us in our everyday life even if we have little awareness of the moves. I had abundant experiences but few words to describe them – perhaps they were not organized into cognition. For an unknown…

• Patterns of Silence

  Just a quick note based on something I wrote to a friend’s daughter about problems in Kashmir. A Jungian tale I recently heard, a marker for our times. Once there was a severe drought in a village. There was no water, so all vegetation died, and there was no food for people. The cattle started dying…

• The Great Mother

  After playing with the developmental aspects of our physical, ego bound existence briefly over the last few weeks, the intuition spontaneously drives to exploring the archetypal, the collective and the symbolic aspects of the mother and the father in greater depth. These writings that follow are not my own ( cited the author at the end),…

• Othering of the Mother

  Of recent, my psyche has gravitated  towards explorations in developmental psychology and the mother-infant dyad. It makes me wonder – what is the universe attempting to verbalise and make conscious thru my experiences ? But since I am compelled by my psyche, I offer my intellect willingly in the service of the work that seems…

  Abstract for a paper being prepared for presentation/publication Though feminists claim to have opened up the world for women, numerous positive and life enhancing qualities of the feminine aspect of human nature, especially the spiritual dimension of the feminine, has been denigrated by the very feminist leaders who claim to speak for all women.
