Today, we know more about mental health than ever before, but traditional medicine still mistakes subtle signs of trauma for stress, anxiety, or chronic disease—sometimes even retraumatizing patients with outdated and misguided methods.

— Robert A. Johnson : Femininity Lost and Regained

No longer can we be the conquering (masculine) hero, who defends his territory, his principles, his woman, his rights. We must become the embracing hero, who finds the right place for each relationship in life, who nurtures and protects and comforts so that growth can take place,

The lights were like lighthouses or beacons for other souls in the world to gravitate to — they would be attracted, so to speak, to the light.
~Anne Scott

Then as I was walking, I saw one by one thousands of lights stand up out of the darkness — beacons all over the world, each one a person holding their own portion of the light in the darkness. I got the sense that each of these beacons was outshining the darkness more powerful than the darkness.

"I dreamt I was walking in the pitch-black night of the world. The night was like all the darkness in the world right now. As I was walking, I saw a beacon of light that was kind of surprising to me...

Johann Hari: 'The opposite of addiction isn't sobriety – it's connection' The author of Chasing the Scream on his anxiety about writing a book, and the 30,000-mile journey of recognition and shared stories it took him on, from the drug war ‘ground zero’ in Baltimore to Colo...

The opposite of addiction is not abstinence, it is connection; connection to self, connection to others, to community, connection to meaningful purpose, connection to spirit, to something that is bigger to myself.
And it takes time.

I woke up saying the words: “If therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.”’ (Matthew 6: 22.)

Jung's patient:
"'I drew a young man to the window and, with a brush dipped in white oil, removed a black fleck from the cornea of his eye. A little golden lamp then became visible in the centre of the pupil. The young man felt greatly relieved, and I told him he should come again for treatment.
