Einstein is known to have said that insanity<\/em> is doing the same
\nthing over and over again expecting to get different results.

\n\nFor some reason, we often insist on repeating the same old
\nthing, again and again, as if we were addicted to the negative
\nside of our complexes.

\n\nThe work of transformation inevitably involves making a
\ngreat effort to go against our natural \u2013 in the sense of habitual \u2013
\nways of going about things. We can only know how we do
\nNOT<\/em> want to proceed.

\n\nAs a psychoanalyst, or an Educator, when someone asks me
\nhow to do something, I must honestly respond that if I were
\ngenuinely able to tell them what<\/em> to do, and how<\/em> to do it, they
\nwould probably do what they understood of what I had
\nexplained \u2026 and it would not be to their credit.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
Therefore, what we want most is to be clear about what
\nwe do NOT<\/em> want to repeat, or do \u2026 so that a space can be
\nopened for something unexpectedly new to suddenly appear.

\n\nThe Alchemists called this path a \u201cvia negativa\u201d<\/em>, given
\nthat in order to be truly creative, we can only know how
\nwe do NOT <\/em>want to do something.

\n\nA helpful way of understanding The Spiritual<\/em> is that it is the
\nSPACE that opens when one genuinely PAUSES<\/em> \u2026 to wait for
\nsomething completely new to surprisingly pop into one\u00b4s
\nconsciousness \u2013 this is true creativity !

\n\nFor me, a Creative\/Spiritual<\/em> space is opened every time we
\nare able to WAIT<\/em> long enough for something truly new to
\nsuddenly pop into our consciousness, something never
\nthought of before \u2026<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In a world increasingly dominated by the quantifiable and the
\ndigital, Ancestral Healing and Spiritual teachings and practices
\noffer a vital counterpoint, reminding us that reality is far more
\nthan what can be measured or superficially observed.

\nThese traditions, including Alchemical Arts of Transformation<\/em>,
\noften dismissed as primitive, are, in fact, sophisticated systems
\nfor navigating our inner landscapes in ways that make us more
\nactive participants in what we call our human destiny.

\nThe rituals, teachings, stories, and symbols passed down through
\ngenerations are not inert historical artifacts, but living blueprints
\nfor our psychological development and spiritual awakening,
\noffering to guide us in navigating creatively through moments
\nof chaos, as we try to understand how our struggles are part
\nof a larger, timeless human narrative.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
Furthermore, these ancient wisdom traditions emphasize a
\nform of healing that is both holistic and deeply interconnected.

\nUnlike modern approaches that focus on eliminating symptoms,
\nancestral practices view the individual as part of a larger web
\nof relationships with community, nature, and the world of Spirit.

\nBy re-engaging with this ancestral wisdom, we can begin to
\nmend the disconnection that so defines our time \u2013 not just
\nbetween mind, heart, body, and spirit \u2026 but between ourselves
\nand the earth and nature that surrounds us, between our present
\nlives and the wisdom of those who came before.

\nThese traditions offer us ways to build a more resilient and
\nsoulful present, and to prepare us to respond to whatever may
\ncome in more pro-active, creative, and constructive ways.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
