Returning to the Beginning: Hugh Crichton-Miller (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As I worked my way through Chapter Four, The Phenomena of Hypnosis, I found myself wishing I could remember every word I had read. There is so much information packed into these pages that it feels impossible to hold it all in my mind at once.And yet perhaps that is not how reading works.We absorb far more than we realise. Some ideas stay close to the surface, while others disappear from view only to reappear later. Certain passages seem to lodge themselves somewhere deeper and continue working
Anne Baring, Jung, and UN Resolution 1325 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Over the last few weeks, I’ve been listening to Anne Baring’s remarkable audiobook, The Dream of the Cosmos: A Quest for the Soul.Anne Baring, now in her nineties, is a Jungian scholar, author, and cultural historian whose work explores the relationship between consciousness, mythology, spirituality, the feminine, and our connection with the living Earth.

Read excerpt
As I continued reading Chapter Three, The History of Hypnotism, I realised that Hugh Crichton-Miller is not simply giving a history lesson. He is tracing a long thread that runs through centuries of human attempts to understand healing, belief, suggestion and the relationship between mind and body.He begins by reminding the reader that practices we would now recognise as hypnotic can be found throughout history. He writes of the soothsayers of Egypt, the magi of Persia, the yogis and fakirs of I
A Mundane Life Lived Fully (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On 26 August, I finished listening to Stoner by John Williams, first published in 1965. It is rare for a book to stay with me in the way this one has. I always have several books on the go, but this one felt different. It touched something deep within me.At first, I was drawn to the conversations about war in the opening chapters. Professor Archer Sloane speaks about war not simply as the loss of young men, but as the destruction of something within a people that cannot easily be restored. Those
