Advancing Psychological Education for All
I had another nightmare, the same nightmare, in fact, that had haunted me for weeks. And try as I might, I could not escape that bone chilling breath, or cacophony of illusions that always began in the Victorian gardens, then ended with a massive conflict involving weaponry too fantastic to believe. However, when I awoke, … Continue reading
Money economy and the dominance of the intellect are intrinsically connected. They share a matter-of-fact attitude in dealing with men and with things; and in, this attitude, a formal justice is often coupled with an inconsiderate hardness. It would be erroneous to assume the rural Kentucky communities present universally supportive or even knowledgeable fronts regarding … Continue reading
It must have been years since I had walked back to this wing of my great massive house. It was born more grand, of masonry and trimmed in very fancy ironwork. The classic center hall with the twin parlors on either side; in these rooms the decorative energy come from the square and rectangular shape … Continue reading

Because our words influence how we think, we do well to choose our words carefully. Our labels for things affect our thoughts about them. Whether a space weapons program is termed “Star Wars” or “The Peace Shield” can subtly affect people’s thoughts and feelings about it. Liberation movements recognize this power of words to shape … Continue reading
There was no one about. Cold rain, a rain worse to me than snow, was falling heavily and loudly. I stood watching it fall. There was a great hum, as if this mansion was alive. While I gazed, a feeling of intense cold seized me. An iceberg before me could not more have chilled. I … Continue reading
In the state of despair there is nobody and nothing that accepts. However, there is the power of acceptance itself which is experienced. Meaninglessness, as long as it is experienced, includes an experience of the “power of acceptance.” To accept this power of acceptance consciously is the religious answer of absolute faith, of a faith … Continue reading
Love, tenderness, sadism, masochism, ambition, curiosity, anxiety, rivalry—these and many other drives are no longer each attributed to just a special instinct, but they are also influenced by the environment (especially the significant early childhood, teenage, and early to mid-adulthood years). Most public order crimes require a baseline level of skill and organization. Street-level drug … Continue reading
The dawn broke clear and cold, with the sky so intensely blue, the eyes ached, just looking at it. The wind had died, and when the sun rose in golden splendor, its warmth came as a welcome surprise. My home rose in the most delicate and fantastic beauty, and mirrors a dream of richness, pride, … Continue reading
Very different from destructiveness are certain deeply buried archaic experiences that often appear to the modern observer as proofs for man’s innate destructiveness. Yet a closer analysis can show that while they result in destructive acts, their motivation is not the passion to destroy. We have focused on crimes against persons or property where there … Continue reading
At the center of marriage stands the union of body and mind between the spouses. Because this union’s significance extends beyond the couple themselves, the…
Here is the thing. The Democrats’ real agenda is the one they will not talk about. It is the one they cannot talk about. It…
Some wonder whether humanity can ever recover the original innocence attributed to Adam and Eve — a state of unbroken trust, unmediated experience, and harmony…
If you are looking for a community that feels like home — fresh air, quiet mornings, safe streets, and a place where kids can actually…
