Which Feminine Archetypes Are Strongest in You?
On a boat going upriver on the Mekong, I came across this young couple who were also making their way upriver in their small boat which serves as both home and workplace. Millions of people live on the Mekong River as it traverses through Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia and Laos. Most are small family units, nuclear family units for the most part. Most of them are also in their first half of life.

A Conversation on Archetype and Mythology with Dennis P. Slattery, Ph.D.
We are living in a unique paradox: more information than anyone can digest in ten lifetimes and yet more narrow thinking, more illiteracy, more national and global sufferings. I think we are in an age of information excess or overload. A recent book by Nicholas Carr, The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains shows the shadow side of the information technology we have unleashed around the globe; more information, less thoughtfulness. Not always, but far too often.
As our species grew more aware of itself and its vulnerability in a dangerous world, we noticed we had some uncontrollable emotions, instincts, and behaviors that didn’t jibe with our conscious intentions. Suspecting that some remote, all-powerful forces must have created us and were still influencing us, we told stories about them and devised rituals to gain their favor so they’d protect us and help us thrive. Our God-images originate in the psyche’s archetypal patterns.

Living in the so-called developed countries, people who persistently don’t want to understand the difference between assuming something and realizing it, should purify their prejudices, especially about sexuality.
War Games
After my post about Bin Laden’s death, writer Charles Hale commented, “I haven’t thought this one through but it seems to me the world has become one big sporting event where there’s always one winner, one loser, and millions of fans cheering each side on. Further, the terms used to describe sporting events are often militaristic in nature–blitz, warrior mentality, fight to the death, in the trenches, etc.–and the news programs constantly describe the news with sports metaphors. There is little difference, it appears, between nationalistic fervor and sports fanaticism.
