How We All Connect
“All images and experiences of my soul are images and experiences of your soul. This field of psychic reality which is immanent to each transcends the individual differences between us, giving us the common language based on our common patterns of experience. Through our unconscious we all connect.”
–James Hillman (American Psychologist, 1926-2011)

Good Conversation
I have been reading the works of James Hillman since I first discovered the psychologist Carl Jung when I was a young student. Hillman has just passed away at the age of 85, after a remarkably productive life that touched the hearts and minds of countless people around the globe.He is someone who truly enriched the lives of many of us. And even some people who may never have heard his name.
“Not just any talk is conversation; not any talk raises consciousness. Good conversation has an edge: it opens your eyes to something, quickens your ears. And good conversation reverberates: it keeps on talking in your mind later in the day; the next day, you find yourself still conversing with what was said. That reverberation afterward is the very raising of consciousness; your mind’s been moved. You are at another level with your reflections.”
–James Hillman (American Psychologist, 1926-2011)
