“In my work I often see people struggling unsuccessfully to overcome what they believe to be their human weakness. Yet for most of them, what they believe to be their weaknesses turn out to be the areas of their greatest spiritual strength.” Michael Tamura, You Are the Answer, p. 66 To explain how this paradoxical […]

The Donkey That Climbed Out of the Well
Once, a farmer’s donkey fell into a well. While the owner was wondering what to do, the animal cried pitifully for hours. In the end, the farmer made a decision: to bury the well together with the donkey. He told himself that the donkey was already very old anyway, and that the well would have […]

Burnout from a Spiritual Perspective
Burnout is a form of occupational stress expressed through extreme exhaustion and alienation from work and from people. If at the beginning a person was inspired and burned brightly in their work, now we observe the exact opposite — the flame has gone out, and in place of inspiration there is fatigue, apathy, pessimism, and […]
Below, Pamela Kribbe explains what the Two Paths are – the Forward Path and the Return Path – thus taking the understanding of this distinction to a deeper level. In the language of her work, the “forward path” is immersion into the world of duality in matter and playing by its rules, while the “return […]

Bert Hellinger, Who Knows Orpheus the Lesser
This is a story retold by Bert Hellinger in his book “Love’s hidden symmetry”: “In olden times, when the gods still seemed to be closer to human beings, two singers named Orpheus lived on the same island. One of them was Orpheus the Great—the very same one we know from the legends. He was the […]
This is a continuation of the previous post, “Containing by Restraining,” which introduced the work with the fire element in our psyche—passion and desire. Its purpose is to present the perspective of analytical psychology regarding experiences we all know to some degree: abandonment and rejection in love. This allows us to see the meaning of […]

Containing the Fire of Transformation
What should we do when the emotions of anger are too strong? When neither the appropriate release techniques nor communication skills seem to help us diffuse their explosive energy? There is a third perspective for dealing not only with anger but with all intense emotions. It is called “containing by holding”: “I think the problem, […]
“Darkness has its correspondence in the alchemical nigredo, which comes after the coniunctio, when the feminine has accepted the masculine within itself. From the nigredo arises the stone, the symbol of the immortal Self.”— C. G. Jung To one degree or another, and in one form or another, all of us go through depressive moods […]

One Million Dollar Opportunity
From the book by Yehuda Berg, The Power of Kabbalah: “Most people tend to choose the path of least resistance in life. They seek easy and comfortable situations. But comfort does not bring lasting Light. We must learn to run away from our comfort zones and to throw ourselves headfirst into unpleasant situations. It is […]

What do I want to create from this?
“’Why?’ is the most useless question in the universe. The only question with any real meaning is ‘What?’ Asking ‘Why is this happening?’ only serves to disempower you. Asking ‘What do I want to create from this?’ does exactly the opposite. Here is a great secret: the ‘Why’ of anything exists only to produce the […]
Pamela Kribbe on the purpose of human life and creativity on Earth “Please do not underestimate the importance of your incarnations on Earth. You belong to the most creative, advanced and courageous part of God (All-That-Is). You are explorers of the unknown and creators of the new. Your explorations in the realm of duality have […]

Pamela Kribbe, “The Channelings of Yeshua”
“I am the one who lived among you and whom you knew as Jesus. I am not the Jesus of church tradition. Nor am I the Jesus of religious scripture. I am Jeshua ben Joseph. I lived as a man of flesh and blood. I reached Christ consciousness before you, but I was supported by […]
