#12 - Thomas Moore - Madness: A Healthy Relief from Extreme Sanity - Cosmic Imagery & Soul Psychology - Take Care of the Soul

"With soul comes an intense sense of value, an ordering of desires, and a respect for common things because they have such impact upon the human spirit" p 44, The Planets Within, Thomas Moores first book! I am happy to present you with this meeting with author and therapist Thomas Moore (https://www.thomasmooresoul.com)who is a great source of inspiration to me. I love the way he writes. Join us as we talk about: A world with soul! as opposed to a world without soul such as cultures materialism in economics, politics, values, and life-style (p45) Basically a world without soul is dead Imagination which is undervalued Prophesy (a quote: "The prophet within sees things in way quite different from ego, that is his madness. His perspective blurs time so that the past seems closer to the present and the future not quite so full of surprises") The art of dreamwork and access to secrets of the psyche How the psyche moves beyond the individual How psychotherapy is not about life but about soul Marsilio Ficinos work on translation and astrology • Ficinos approach to psychotherapy and natural magic • Saturn and depression • Pleasure NOW ! • Relationship to James Hillman astrologically and what Thomas Moore has learned from him • Divine madness and the 4 kinds of nonerational consciousness • Ego-Soul and the narratives we are living in If you want to work with me at any capacity feel free to reach out at [email protected] -Mannah LINK to Thomas Moore: This is Thomas Moores bibliography I recommend checking out, just because if you are a soulful type like me, you might daily have thoughts about something he actually wrote a book on: https://www.thomasmooresoul.com/books Also, just another quote that sets the tone for Thomas Moores message, I feel: “We can vivify the essential Man in us all and thereby transcend what seems “natural”. The life of the soul, in fact, may seem unnatural, the familiar “opus contra naturam” a working against what seems to be our nature. When people say, “that’s human nature” there may be neglect of the soul; because what seems natural may be only the atmosphere of the archon, the Governor of that sphere of life lived and felt unconsciously. A psychological attitude goes against what appears to be only natural, peeking through that limited realm, gaining a perspective on the planetary spheres where they are revealed to be circles of glass”. (Thomas Moore, The Planets Within, p 37, 1979/1982) My web: https://www.therapeuticastrologer.com
