update

Been ages. Got totally bogged down trying to write up chapters to a ridiculous timetable.Wanted to do viva early so David McKie cd be external, cos he’s a good professor, but it left me with about ten days per chapter and after 6 weeks realise that’s not doable. Writing has been going backward, getting slower [...]

A self-help approach but quite interesting. May use some of these ideas (and similar) in the final section of thesis to suggest practical applications for Jungian ethics.Finding your shadow

Realised how defensive parts of my own presentation were – justifying use of Jung, despite epistemological problems; explaining why it was OK [...]

Synchronicity

Actually this is about coincidences of place rather than time: having travelled by train (amazing, if sleepless 2.5 day trip) from Chicago to California, I was sitting contemplating white pelicans one day at Abbott’s Lagoon in Point Reyes. Saw a man walking in from nearby beach – the only other human for miles and miles. [...]

Successful International communications Association conference in Chicago – excellent range of papers and presentations – including final plenary from Naomi Klein reflecting on post-Obama emotions (the fluctuating hope levels she describes as a ‘hopercoaster’).
My Jung and PR paper went down v well (all the better for not using power point – everyone battered by graphs [...]
