Do you ever feel like the world is not quite right? Do you struggle to find your place within it? Do you suspect that this lack of “fit” is not due to a psychological problem with you but rather to a lack of a strategy for adjusting to the distorted world itself? If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, I may be able to help.
My approach combines the tools of philosophy with a Jungian framework of the mind (the relationship of the unconscious to the conscious) infused with mythological elements of the ancient wisdom of the Gnostics.
In short, my belief is that each of us has within us a share of cosmic perfection, but in order to access it, we must recognize that the world around us is not ultimate reality, but a flawed veil behind which perfection exists. Contact me today to learn how to begin to access your own perfection.
