Welcome
Thy Kingdom Come. Chester Arnold
“The life of the individual as a member of society and particularly as part of the State may be regulated like a canal, but the life of nations is a great rushing river which is utterly beyond human control . . . The life of nations rolls on unchecked, without guidance, unconscious of where it is going, like a rock crashing down the side of a hill, until it is stopped by an obstacle stronger than itself.” C.G. Jung. Wotan, 1936
Welcome to my Substack blog where I intend to post shorter op-ed essays on current political events in a psychological context, longer essays on psyche, politics and cultural complexes, and finally announcements of upcoming events and publications. I was motivated to start this page as I found fully formed sentences and ideas popping into mind spontaneously as I have been trying to digest the mindboggling and numbing realities of our current cultural and political life.
