Learning to Let Psyche Lead

 

A collection of ideas and self-guided prompts  to get more access to your Creative Unconscious, your Intuitive Mind; to bypass, in a light trance, the distraction of thinking and talking 

The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant.  Albert Einstein

Just Make Something.  then WAIT!  Let It Reveal: What it is, Why it was made, Who responds and comes for it.

In these last 25 years, I have not been able to tidy this material into ONE SINGLE BOOK.  It seemed the very opposite of the undulating, morphing nature of Casual Alchemy.It's not "tidy".

 

A short booklet form seems promising. It allows for a re-telling of the same material but with important different inflections or variations.

The size and brevity, at 3-28 pages, makes it modest

and kind to all learning styles and attention spans. It invites the Intuitive Mind to have a role in the experience  "What am I in the mood for today?" 

Casual Alchemy explores the importance, and integrity of

The Casual (play, idle, awe, surprise)

Alchemy (balancing head, hand, heart; the Need to transform: ourselves  Hornet's Nests as metaphor?

Making (non verbal route to identity)

The Spiral (key image, experience)

Time is Kairos, not Chronos. Circular. We are in several dimensions at once.  Learning to flow -with grace- between them.

 

“Time is not a line but a dimension. You don’t look back along time, but down through it, like water. Sometimes this comes to the surface. Sometimes that. Sometimes nothing. Nothing goes away.”                    Margaret Atwood,   Cats Eye (1988)
