There was once a great warrior. Though quite old, he was still able to defeat any opponent. His reputation spread far and wide throughout the country, and many students gathered to study under him. One day a young warrior of ill fame arrived in the village. He was determined to be the first person to […]
Relationships
"There is a way to be happy in a relationship, and that is to use it for its true purpose, not for a purpose you invented..." Neil Donald Walsh And the true purpose of relationships is to be mirrors that help us learn and grow, learning the lessons of love. Human relationships are so important, and very often we interpret what happens to us in them in the wrong way. We are talking about such basic beliefs as "what is love" or "what is done to have harmonious relationships in our lives".

Below I share a short YouTube video—an interview with Marie-Louise von Franz—which is part of the film The Way of the Dream: Marie-Louise von Franz in Conversation with Fraser Boa. The person who extracted this segment titled it “Real Love Makes the Other Person Whole.” The interview begins with Fraser Boa asking for a comment […]

Forgiveness is an act of divine grace
What makes love triangles a potential for spiritual transformation is that forgiveness—the only positive way of dealing with betrayal—is not a product of ego-will, but comes from a source that is different from the desire of our conscious attitude. No matter how much we want to forgive, we cannot, because forgiveness is the final result […]

Love Triangles: The Soul’s Perspective
“No matter how much it may cost us, we need triangles for the sake of our souls. Triangles open things up and potentially reveal aspects of our innermost nature. This may be one reason why attempts at ‘sexual revolution’ so often become dull and boring. There is no tension and no conflict. Our inner world […]

Protective Love Triangles
The theme of love triangles would not be complete without also examining so-called “protective triangles.” These are relationships in which a person panically avoids deep commitment to only one partner, because in the event of a separation they would not be able to endure the intensity of their feelings. As a rule, such a person […]

Uncertainties that create love triangles
I continue with my presentation of Liz Greene’s article on the psychological dynamics of love triangles. This time, for people who can read their birth charts, there are astrological significators included. It is about the aspects between the planet of love, Venus, with difficult Saturn and Chiron. Aspects that point to the presence of emotional […]

The Split Anima/Animus in Love Triangles
Here is some further insight from Liz Greene into the hidden psychic dynamics of love triangles presenting another part of her article The Eternal Triangle . The previous article presented Freud’s psychoanalytic perspective, according to which the cause of love triangles lies in unresolved Oedipal struggles to win one parent and compete with the other. […]
Even amateurs in psychology are familiar with the Oedipus complex – this key concept in Freud’s psychoanalysis, according to which, at a certain age between three and five (the phallic stage of psychosexual development), the child directs its libido toward the parent of the opposite sex, while at the same time experiencing feelings of rivalry […]
I have always been interested in how the family will change in the future. I mean that the family as we know it now has its historical preconditions, limitations and cultural specificities, and the times we live are changing. It is changing dramatically. And with that, the forms of togetherness are changing. So when I […]

Obedient and Offended or Unloved and Free?
Claudio Naranjo on his practice as a Gestalt therapist: “In my seventeen years of practice, I have repeatedly seen how patients tend to attribute responsibility for their own actions to others, choosing obedience and resentment over freedom and the risk of being unloved. Absorbed in the anonymous ‘they,’ the individual loses contact with his own […]
For a long time, I have been postponing writing an article on my website in which to recommend an exceptionally important and valuable reading: the interview-article by John Welwood, “Human Nature, Buddha Nature,” with the subtitle “On Spiritual Bypassing, Relationships, and the Dharma.” And since I do not know how much longer the agony of […]

Eroticism Beyond the Body
“The more closely we analyze what we perceive as ‘sexy,’ the more clearly we understand that eroticism is the feeling of excitement we experience when we encounter another human being who shares our values and our sense of the meaning of existence.”— Alain de Botton Usually, the last thing we associate with eroticism is the […]
