"How To Walk Through Hell"

The human race is in the middle of treacherous, tumultuous, and dangerous times. We are in the middle of what the Greeks called "Apokalypsis," which means a moment of "revelation," or a "lifting of the veil." Such moments in human history are accompanied by fear, confusion, and chaos. In this episode I talk about the psychological realities of hell, and how we can learn, collectively, to walk through such difficult times together.

In this third and final installment of my conversation with Dr. Amy Ferrell, we explore together how the human Shadow provides us with a potential path into the deeper wisdom of ourselves, as well as exhibiting a warning to us, should choose to ignore it. We explore how our current culture and society have been neglecting to deal with its own collective shadows and our observations of the results of this choice.

A continuing conversation about apprehending the nature of the Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine archetypes where we explore how different stories we have each adopted throughout our lives have shaped us both for good or for ill, where those stories came from, as well as exploring an aspect of the nature of the Divine Masculine as our capacity as human beings to "hold space," both for ourselves and for others. The conversation continues to further explore how our perception of these binaries points the way toward more complex and non-binary realities of human existence as we all strive to embody both sides of these powerful, archetypal energies in our own lives.

01/11/2025

The Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine archetypes in myths and fairy tales are both powerful symbols and powerful binaries, between which the human race investigates more of its own fullness and wholeness in the underlying unity of non-binary spaces. These archetypal symbols and energies are qualities which belong to all human beings, regardless of s*x or gender, and as such are capable of being manifest and nurtured in all of us. In part one of this three part series, Dr. Amy Ferrell and I engage in meaningful dialogue about our own experiences and encounters with each of these powerful energies, as we also acknowledge how the backdrop of our cultural and societal values, particularly those rooted in patriarchy, have both influenced and attempted to redefine what each of these timeless and primordial energies are and how they should or should not be used.

01/11/2025

The stories which invoke such powerful, archetypal imagery as that of the Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine energies are both timeless and ageless. These images, or symbols, are divine forms of energy that belong to all human beings. In this sense they are not restrained to either gender or s*x. What happens, however, when we as a species begin to impose our own ideas of s*x, gender identity, and patriarchal demands on these timeless images? The Tale of the Half-Man is a story which can invite us into this particular conversation. This episode is an introduction to a four-part series where, in the next three episodes I will be in conversation with a dear friend and colleague of mine, Dr. Amy Ferrell, as together we will be exploring the deep mysteries of both the Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine, and what we think each of those are, or more importantly, can be.

Daniel Gray Bear, or "Bear" Calderon is a healer, elder, and wisdom figure who comes to us from the Mescalero Apache community. He is a master storyteller and a holder of space for those on a journey of healing and wholeness, having facilitated many sweat lodges and working one on one with individuals learning to listen, embrace, and follow their own paths of curiosity, healing, and growth. In this episode Bear shares with us some wisdom from the medicine wheel, a story about a grandfather and a grandson learning about love and commitment and ending our time with a fascinating story about coyote as an archetypal trickster figure.

There are many different ways to engage and interact with stories. In this episode I provide but one example of the interpretation of a story where each character and component of the story itself is understood as being an aspect of the protagonist's personality, in this case, Dorothy from Kansas. From this perspective, the land of Oz is a metaphor for Dorothy's unconscious self, and all the characters in the story, from the cowardly lion to the wicked witch, are all different aspect of Dorothy's own personality.

Wholeness is not something we achieve. Wholeness is what we already are. Our individual and collective journeys to realize and retrieve a connection with our own inner wholeness is a journey of re-remembering that which we have forgotten, that which we have lost sight of. Much of the first part of life consists of ego-building; learning to skills, trying new things, and figuring out our own identities as we grow and develop. At some point, the call changes in our lives, away from ego-building and back into re-remembering the full essence and truth of our individual selves...the truth of our original wholeness as human beings.
