					<description><![CDATA[Misspeaking Is Human Ok, our President trips over names and interrupts his own thoughts at times while speaking. He has done this for decades. People much younger do the same thing and Trump does it often. Clearly, the President is not a smooth and polished orator.

					<description><![CDATA[Once upon a time, we happened. In quick order, we learned language and its rules and built a sense of self and of our relations to others. From the complex montage of pleasures and pains, we wove a guiding framework replete with stunning dramas of neurotic and sometimes psychotic features.

					<description><![CDATA[This is an apt expression and most of us have experienced this ( if we are fortunate). We “fall” and the experience is overwhelming. We did not reason our way into this state by carefully assessing our intended partner’s virtues. It just happens. It might as well be the case of being struck by Cupid’s &#8230; &#8230; <a href="https://harriedmystic.wordpress.com/2024/06/19/in-praise-of-falling-in-love/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In observing the behavior of toxic leaders and their unthinking followers, both Otto F Kernberg and C.G. Jung had much to say about the impact of malignantly narcissistic leaders on large group behavior. Through the psychoanalytic lens, we are witnessing a mass regression to a more primitive state of non-reflective, dependent action powered by emotional &#8230; &#8230; <a href="https://harriedmystic.wordpress.com/2024/06/17/a-virulent-regression/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Reflections on the history of ideas about the Antichrist are often theological, religious, or mythic. There is value, however, in examining the idea from a Jungian psychodynamic perspective. In Jungian thought, Archetypes are prepotent psychic forces that constellate dimensions of personality. The archetype of “ Antichrist” represents a Shadow Self shaped by fear and anxiety &#8230; &#8230; <a href="https://harriedmystic.wordpress.com/2024/04/01/the-archetype-of-the-antichrist/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

Believe me, I am a strong proponent of a good nights sleep, but not as a permanent state of somnambulism! Too many of our fellow citizens appear content to turn back time to the days of callousness and insensitivity.
