Love is a force that was here before us, will be here after us, and It is a force that acts through us and transforms us. Love is one of those great psychological and divine forces that can transform the ego, and awakens the ego to the existence of beings outside of itself that have equal place and worth in this universe. Love is Divine and it is a gift to be able to receive and to practice the act of loving. Romantic love is part projection of your own unconscious potentials..., therefore it fades if we unconsciously fall in it, rather than stand and walk in it. Romantic love is the greatest energy exchange in western culture. The ego keeps us safe and small, while projecting big things onto another. It doesn’t allow the acceptance of the totality of that person, which includes their shadow. When you awaken to the transformative inner workings of Eros for the self, you awaken to the true power of human love which involves a kind, respectful, grounded and friendly relatedness to another person. Allow spaces of awe, worship, and ritual for Agape love, so that It can give back unconditional and transformative Grace and Compassion to you, which is what the collective inner child needs. That you matter and are worthy as much as every other being, not more and not less. Be mindful of your partner’s and children’s inner child and Divine parent, that they are also a child of God and that their parent is watching how you treat them. Eros comes and goes to awaken you to your unrecognized powers and potentials. Look into your self to see what creations and calling are being placed upon you, so that you are loving the people in your life and not your projections. When you see and love only your projections, you also get hurt and disappointed and would want to move on to the next person that will carry them for you. Wake up to the creative powers of Eros, receive Spirit Love, give Pragma love to your partner, and Storge love to your children! Happy Happy Valentine’s Day #depthpsychology #loveconsciousness #eroslove #pragmalove #storgelove #spiritlove See more

The healthiest type of parenting and family life is when you focus on YOU! Tap into YOUR inner love and power to make YOU whole, develop YOUR own passions, heal YOUR own wounds, and channel YOUR inner child! Do you find yourself controlling, worrying, feeling disappointed or being irritable when it comes to your children? Most of what you wish for your child is an unconscious part of YOU that needs further development, recognition, integration. When you do this, you are givin...g your child the most precious GIFT. The gift of liberation. Liberation from your traumas, your unfulfilled wishes, your projections. You move from part parenting to whole parenting, and that is BIG, generational cycle breaking, transformative work. Your ceiling becomes their floor and they truly will be able to be who they are meant to be and live their destined life rather than suffer in the shadow of yours. When your child is free, you get to witness the unique inner beauty blossom in them. Oh and also eat with your children rather than feed them. Many times the parent child dynamic gets amplified through the meal time experience. Mealtime is a microcosm of family life. Eat together, play together, explore together, and discipline with love, respect, and at eye level, soul to soul! #depthpsychology #consciousparenting #innerchild #wholeness #wholeparenting #holisticparenting #smashtheprojections #integration #liberation See more

The dream is a hidden door to the innermost recesses of the soul, opening into the cosmic night....All consciousness separates, but in dreams we put on the likeness of that more universal, truer, more eternal man dwelling in the darkness of the eternal night. There he is whole, and the whole is in him, indistinguishable from nature and bare of all egohood. ~ Carl Jung. There you have it folks. Couldn’t have said it better myself. Dreams are your key to your own wholeness, truth, and liberation from illusions and pacifiers. Being curious and nonjudgmental about your dreams and their symbolic meanings is an important practice to develop! Surrender to the power of dreams dear souls!

Forest bathing in Burbank! So good to be emotionally and esthetically bare in the natural elements! And connect to a higher self through Mother Earth! Nature heals and nature reveals! Where are your eco attachments? Eco attachments are places in the wild that you feel your most authentic self as well as encouraged and challenged in good ways. Eco attachments are natural places you’ve visited that you grow from and continue to go to. Places that you miss and think about when you’re not there physically, places that have an emotional and psychological space inside of you. When you have eco attachments, your human attachments get better and healthier! #ecotherapy #ecoattachments #ecopsychology #motherearth

Grief is the most beautiful emotion to me because it is the most raw, most stripped away, most fallen state of the mortal creatures called humans. Let go of the notion of good emotions and bad emotions. Begin to see emotions as real, truthful, wise, and beautiful! Being human is the most vulnerable, powerless, and at times terrifying experience. The two most important events of our life, being born and dying, we have no power over. And along with that, losing those we love. ...Yet the meaning of life that continues to come through to conscious souls and mystics is to love. We are here to love! And when we are conscious of our finitude, when that illusion of forever is shattered, we can live to love and love to live! Grief is so beautiful, so real, so vital to our livelihood, yet also lived so privately. Share your grief, I promise it will move others as well as the ones suffering through it. Private grief is hell! Shared grief is life giving! #depthpsychology #griefislove #griefisbeautiful #rawandreal See more

The overarching thing about fantasy that I think is so medicinal is that we need to have a realm inside of us in which all things are permitted...and the way in which many of our social or even religious philosophies intruded upon the imaginal world and decided what is even permitted to be imagined I think makes us unwell. Many psychological methods use someway of going into a deeply relaxed state and then being able to narrate the fantasy material which is probably being pl...ayed out just below the surface of awareness and begin to create a dialogue or description at the very least about this realm one which all things are permitted, which of course is the realm of dreams as well. There are things you will believe that you would never believe or things you wouldn’t or couldn’t do in waking life. But in the dream world all things are permitted, which tells us that on some very deep level, in order to remain sane, we have to participate in these worlds that transgress natural law for that matter, but also transgress the smallness of our programming. - Joseph R. Lee from #thisjungianlifepodcast Wow this was some deep truth that I needed to write down right after I heard it. Fantasies are life giving, and being cut off from them consciously makes us vulnerable to their mercy and leaves us lonely, one dimensional, one sided, quick to concretize, extreme, self destructive, abusive, oppressive and even evil. This last few weeks of 2020, let’s seek the very thing that the lack of led to our global disasters...access to our imaginal world. This holiday season, seek and engage with the whimsical in you and through you! While we give to others, our psyche gives us the treasures of endless and rich possibilities and life energy. #wholeness #depthpsychology #innerworld #imagination #fantasy #shamework #faith #believe #christmasseason #covidholiday #quarentinelife #discovery #pandemicthriving #whereissanta #symbolicintelligence See more

An essential part of this meal, aside from the holiday decoration and nutritional elements, is the token of appreciation. With restaurants being closed, the cooks in the family are under extra pressure and stress to feed the family. A tip jar or something similar can enhance a sense of gratitude for their hard work and love, as feeding and loving is synonymous. Changing something little can have big effects. What are unique creative ways you are showing or receiving appreciation? And don’t forget to order from your favorite restaurants to continue supporting them during this difficult times. #gratitude #appreciation #pandemicthriving #supportsmallrestaurants #wholeness #love #covidholiday #tipjar #cookingupastorm

It may be the holiday season but also the virus season. Take good care of your body for it contains your soul and extends your aura and wholeness. Include in your cooking garlic, ginger and the likes...Top your foods with some turmeric and nigella seeds for a boost in the virus war.

Although this looks like an action shot from a movie, this is reality! This is one of our heroes Albert Hovhannisyan defending our homeland from the attacks of Azerbaijan and Turkey that started on the 27th of September. Artsakh, a historical Armenian land with churches and monuments as early as 300 AD, is being claimed as Azerbaijan’s as well as attacked and ruined, and threatened by the terrorist and violent governments of Turkey and Azerbajian to finish what they started, ...a genocide of 1.5 million Armenians in 1915, a large massacre they deny to this day yet proudly proclaim to complete. So many inconsistencies and holes in their story/lies. The most important piece to take away from this, is how YOU respond to this. Each and every soul has the ability and power to turn this around and prevent world war 3! As painful as it is, YOU have to awaken to the truths of evil and take a stand against it and for peace, for love, for truth! This is not a war of religion, this is either the end of freedom as we know it, or the end of totalitarian government! The freedom we think we have here in first world countries is a big facade! We think we have freedom to chose between parties, between politicians, between news channels, between two extreme polarities. Turn off the TV show, and tune into reality! Rise above the opposites and into the tension in between, where truth lies, and real blood shed is occurring. While we are focusing on debates, flies on Pence’s head, Tik Tom, people’s heads are being blown up and history is repeating itself right before our eyes. If enough of us don’t evolve consciously NOW, we will suffer world war 3 and very very badly. Take a stand for peace NOW! The United States and other powerful nations are aiding and arming Azerbaijan, so again supporting terrorism in the world because of MONEY/POWER. The American story started as genocide and is also repeating its history. Research, spread awareness, petition and donate to Armenia who scream for peace and are defending their land with all their hearts, souls, and lives of courageous boys. #peaceforArmenia #peacefortheworld #evolutionofconsciousness #collectiveconsciousness See more

Seeing Armenian colors everywhere! Thank you for the support and love and donations everyone! If Armenia doesn’t defend, there will be no more Armenia! Seeing the courage and spirit in our soldiers sends me chills! They aren’t forced or manipulated to fight, they flee from foreign lands to fight for their homeland! They fight with smiles on their face and divine courage in their heart! So much has been taken, and the Turkish/Azerbaijani government threatens to take more and f...inish what they started! The aggressors/terrorists and their followers threaten to wipe us out, TODAY! Please reach out for samples or evidence or unbiased/unmanipulated facts and news. Please reach out! We need you! Armenia needs you to continue to exist in peace and for their residents to be alive! This is a humanity crisis and genocide restarted! You can chose to ignore or to save! This is the time to discover a higher meaning for your life! This is the year of revelation, where evil and darkness is being unveiled. This is also the year where our inner superheroes need to shine and fly!

My Saturdate with my fictional brothers and outdoor time, along with my Moscow mule water jug...so healing. In what ways do you go to the inner world? And what does your inner world look like? Mine almost always involves classic literature, art, nature, and some historical aesthetic. The Brothers Karamazov is rich with authentic holistic spirituality, Russian historical drama and grace, and the access to the brain and heart of the deep and honorary psychologist Fyodor Dostoye...vsky. This book also feeds and nourishes my inner masculine (the Animus) in a healthy way which fosters wholeness. How do you channel your inner feminine and inner masculine? The self contains so many rich elements and energies, and we liberate our loved ones from the burden of those projections when we give space and time to develop and relate to all that is within us, especially the unseen and opposite to our gender and externally supported parts. #depthpsychology #wholeness #innerworld #integration #anima #animus #innerworld #totalself #selfindividuation #healthyrelatedness #bibliotheraphy #ecotherapy #consciousness #brotherskaramazov #dostoevsky See more

A gentile reminder to get your body moving and flowing to release tension and stress and connect to spirit and vibrant energy! Anything you feel or think is in your body and can get stuck in various points, and prevents wholeness and connection. Inga addition, your psyche speaks to you with tension and other physical symptoms as it does with dreams and fantasies, so being mindful of body will lead to depth and soul. Any activity will get your energy moving and flowing, but yoga in particular is an excellent choice for mind body spirit wellness. Namaste

Dear Armenians across the world! You are called to connect to your unique individual purpose! We are blessed with the collective love and power. What we need to thrive and be victorious in our fight for peace is radically and rapidly tapping into individual unique Divine talents and superpowers. We are living through blood shed and sacrifice, and the only access to our greatest potential is through the deepest darkest chambers. Also this is not a religious war, for we are con...scious beings and we know that there are loving and peaceful Muslims who also suffer along side of us. This is the extreme terrorist regime that is compromising our right to survival and existence. We will thrive and be victorious if we add individual authentic power to our already incredible unbelievable collective inertia! Sending love and courage to each and every soul! Don’t hold your breathe for others to help, and release the enormous individual potential that lies in each of us! Whatever that may be! Last night the passion for playing the guitar came to me from spending some alone time, along with this message. I am not going to judge it, or limit it, I’m going to develop it as soon as I can so that it can add much needed spirit to our struggle! Praying for mass healing for our people! See more

The cultural collective in the Armenian people is rooted in Christ, blood and denial. It is also a tale of hope, light and unbelievable fortitude. The Armenian ...soul has lived death, tragedy and destruction so much that it feels normal. What cuts deeper and deeper to the traumatic wounds is silence and denial. The denial of factual history is enough to keep us in fear yet fighting and thriving, which is so exhausting. The posture, fatigue and illness of Armenian people is related to exactly this. The denial and silence of TODAY’s attacks reaches unspeakable levels of suffering. Yet the story of the Armenian people continues to bare the same pattern and symbolism. The nation that was the first to adopt Christianity and be chosen by Christ, continues to shed blood and tears, and reveal divine energies of resilience, love, hope and peace. From its ancient chosen mountains for Noah’s Ark, to today’s denial of truth of the Armenian genocide and related attractions, surrounded and oppressed mostly by enemies, Armenians live Christ’s suffering, consciously and unconsciously, DAILY. Armenians want to live in peace. Turks want to live in Armenia and they publicly declare this. Why wouldn’t they? the powerful nations show indifference. For non Armenians, denial and silence is like a sword straight to our hearts. For my fellow Armenians, the brightest light comes from the darkest chambers. Keep shining and don’t forget our Savior and the true meaning of Him in our blood: Truth, Love and Wholeness. Friends, we are in dire need of recognition of truth and mass healing! Talk to an Armenian and offer support, donate your funds or talents, and spread the truth. #depthpsychology #culturalcollective #culturalunconscious #generationaltrauma #collectivehealing #artsakhstrong #armeniastrong #stopazerbaijansaggression #defendarmenia #defendartsakh #truth #history #stopthedenial #endthesilence #love #fortitude #hope #peace #consciouschristianity #artworkbyingasimonian #ingasimonianphd See more

Surrender to the psychological and symbolic process of a quarantine and give birth to a NEW YOU! The struggle/darkness is real for everyone in their own unique individual ways, and so is the rebirth and light. Be vulnerable and accept all truths of the matrix of life, don’t feed your ego with one sidedness so that you can tap into the creative powers of the universe and RISE to your authentic self and inner genius. Times are extremely complex personally and collectively. Seek... inside of your soul and you will find healthy coping skills. What are healthy coping skills? Something you can access that you DO NOT need to monitor the dose or duration. An energy or activity you can trust so that you can lose yourself in. This means it can’t be a show or a smoke/drink or even a person. If you don’t know what that is, it’s your obligation to your self and the world to find it. You are here for that reason, you were created to become whole in you and develop your gifts to humanity, the animal world and/or the planet. And the path to those treasures inside you is through the darkness and pain. You won’t know what that is until you go into your soul head on without superficial and harmful coping. Remove your earthly boots and put your symbolic cloaks! Go now! barefoot! Just GO! See more

Your emotions are golden opportunities to connect to to your inner child and your authentic self. Your pain and hurtful feelings belong to that part of you and the adult in you can access, nurture, love and integrate him or her into your whole self and benefit from a fuller more magical life!

Pop psychology speaks to the EGO, while depth psychology speaks to the SOUL! What does that mean? What is pop psychology? What is depth psychology? Pop psychology is a lot of what you are seeing on social media, and it consists of posts or videos about how OTHERS are toxic...it talks to you about others’ problematic behaviors and how others need to change. It feeds your ego’s desperate need to feel like it’s always someone else’s fault. It’s always them. And how we need to e...ngage in self care to cope with OTHERS’ toxicity. It makes sense that this is popular. The ego is often so shattered and broken, and wants to feel big and powerful. And when you seek through the ego, you will find this misinformation. That is why such mantras get popular. I wouldn’t call that information wisdom though. It’s fire and fuel for harmful projections. What is wise is to accept that each of us have the obligation to do inner work, to reflect and process OUR unconscious forces, that are beyond self care and boundaries and that include the self authenticity needs as well as care for others, healthy or appropriate guilt, accountability, empathy, change, action, community, and wholeness. We NEED to see the darkness in ourselves, to empower the livelihood of others and more so the WHOLENESS and LIBERATION of ourselves. Afterall, if everyone works on only self care and boundaries, where’s the link and love between us all? The soul always seeks wholeness and symptoms are messengers that something is wrong and what needs to be done to complete our mission and calling. Do NOT ignore, numb or repress the messengers, the dreams, the imagination, the synapses. Even if a pop psychology meme tells you to or makes you feel good. It’s not always about feeling good. It’s about making the necessary connections with your mind, body, spirit and the personal/collective matrix. Time to go deeper folks! The world needs us to! #depthpsychology #wholeness #ego #higherself #deeperself #selfcompassion #love #projectionproofing #accountability #symbolicintelligence #carljung #ingasimonian

Erich Fromm’s bold understanding and direction for humanity regarding love is a precious treasure and easily accessible for anyone. Love is something we all struggle with it, and without love, humanity could not exist for a day!. Yet love is something that very few learn the theory and practice of. If you’re going to take a class on love, after Christ the greatest symbol of love, go to Erich Fromm. Envy, jealousy, ambition, any kind of greed are passions; live is an actio...n, the practice of a human power, which can be practiced only in freedom and never as a result of a compulsion. Love is an activity, not a passive affect; it is a standing in, not falling for. In the most general way, the active character of love can be described by stating that love is primality giving, not receiving....The most important sphere of giving, however, is not that of material things, but lies in the specifically human realm. What does one give to another? He gives of himself, of the most precious he has, he gives of his life. This does not necessarily mean that he sacrifices his life for the otherbut that he gives him of that which is alive in him; he gives him of his joy, of his interest, of his understanding, of his knowledge, of his humor, of his sadnessof all expressions and manifestations of that which is alive in him. In this giving of his life, he enriches the other person, he enhances the other’s sense of aliveness by enhancing his own sense of aliveness. He does not give in order to receive; giving is in itself exquisite joy. But in giving he cannot help bringing something to life in the other person, and this which is brought to life reflects back to him; in truly giving, he cannot help receiving that which is given back to him. Giving implies to make the other person a giver also and they both share in the joy of what they have brought to life. In the act of giving, something is born, and both persons involved are grateful for the life that is born for both of them. Specifically with regard to love this means; love is a power which produces love; impotence is the inability to produce love. See more

Wishing everyone a tranquil Labor Day! Sending peaceful and calm energy. Engage with a state of being not doing today!

A window to my grief for my cousin and how grief is the continuation of love for someone you lose in physical form! It’s the anguish of love for someone that has no place to go! It can’t be directed towards the person or animal you were attached to in physical form. And the pain attached to your grief is a measure of the love you have for them. Let it go somewhere! And one day you will come to a place where you have a ritual around it, you find that person in something, you c...reate a new type of relationship with them in the new form that you find them in, and life does go on! Also the way that the loss changes your attitude towards life, and the changes you make, is you continuing your relationship and love with the being you lost in physical form! Loss breaks our illusion of forever, wakes us up to the truth of how precious life is, and makes us live more! Dear Ivan, my favorite pics of you remain the ones of your passionate moments with your love and not the motorcycles. Equally strong passion in both types of photos, the former gave you life, the latter took it. You always had fire in you! And it gives me peace that you lived love and passion with another person and not an object. Your passion went to the deadly motorcycle after your relationship ended, and only because you were too young to be able to contain your passion safely and in a grounded way, on your own. Can’t believe it’s been 8 years since you left Earth. The trauma and tears are fresh as if it happened yesterday! The worst day of my life!!!!! Getting the call from my mom that you crashed! My heart crashed and has never been whole since! My husband and children have glued it together and given me new meaning. But the pain is still there and it won’t go away until I see you again! Grateful to God for giving me you as a cousin. He knew that our mothers could not handle us as siblings! When I reach the stars with music and prayer, I feel your spirit! I know you’re having a blast in Heaven! You are always a party! Love and miss you in human form! #grief #loss #pain #beauty #soul #spirit #transcendence #love #wholeness #disillusionoffinitude #robertstolorow #livefortoday

What sceneries or symbols challenge you and enchant you? To me, bricks symbolize hard work and stability while stairs symbolize elevation and transcendence. How can we hold both of these opposites? Growth without stability might look like flying and then crashing and burning, while stability without growth can look like stagnation. Holding the tension of opposites produces life and energy, so in this case we see how crucial it is for healthy life to see and embody both brick...s and stairs. When we face crisis and adversity, we must made rapid inner collective change and meet one another where we unite rather than where we divide. Our current situation is due to a loss of imagination. We must look what we experience in physical form as Dream, and dream material as reality. Because we have both physical reality and symbolic reality. And the path to wholeness is integrating outer life with inner life! The secret third space that gives life and continues creation is when we hold the tension of the opposites. Are you holding that space between opposites? Or are you falling to one side and thus feeling depleted for the sake of righteousness? What transcends you while grounding you? #depthpsychology #wholeness #integration #transcendantfunction #wisdom #love #innerwork #divinelove #symbolicreality #symbolicintelligence #fantasy #imaginalworld #tensionofthropposites #evolutionofconsciousness #carljung #michaelmeade #ingasimonian @michaelmeade_mosaicvoices See more
