Capella University, response.
Hi Jamie,
Thanks for your beautiful response.
I believe that vulnerability in the field of psychology is of great importance. Its those defenses we need to face and "dissolve" (of course appropriately), if we are to make truthful empathic counselors or psychologists. What I mean to say is that sometimes we exert overwhelming energy in areas that require none at all. Who are we to be ashamed of ourselves, if we pursue true knowledge and true wisdom, and of course true liberation, not only for ourselves, but to countless others all around us, especially in our practice.
My thoughts are that alternative medicine is an aid for those who need that aid, a helping hand in entering those locked, tightly closed gates of the unconscious mind, storing gems underneath fear, guilt and complexes. However, for those who are sensitive, naturally endowed with a penetrating vision, it is not necessary. One, can enter those realms by means of allowing unrestricted imagery and creativity to flow through one's mind and life. This can be just as unsettling to one, as an altered state of mind induced by a substance. There are chemicals in the brain that, just as they are easily aroused by sexual attraction, may be aroused to pop and bounce under all kinds of influence exerted by the gravity of thoughts and desires. In other words, the brain listens to the mind, it is taught by it, influenced by it, and behaves as it is directed and trained...
At the moment I'm sinking my "hungry" teeth into Jung (if you haven't noticed already). There is a wealth of knowledge and wisdom hidden beneath what ever it is we call, or miscall our "selves". Our true selves, our G-dly soul and nature...
Look fwd to learning and chatting more with you...
Wishing you the best,
~ Sha-Ron.
