Interview with Jean Shinoda Bolen: CIRCLE OF WOMEN A woman of today who knows where it goes and what he wants ...
Jean Shinoda Bolen - Doctor of Medicine and Jungian Analyst
I have 68 years. I was born and live in Los Angeles. I am a doctor of medicine, Jungian analyst and professor of psychiatry at the University of California. I am divorced and I have two children. Iraq is Vietnam again and again, it's a shame we have to learn through suffering. Linking spirituality and religion divide.
- Complaining is a waste of time? - Sure! "There is much to learn ... "That's why I'm interested in older women with humor and active. After 40 years the best start if you are able to realize the number of potential qualities within you. Then you feel like become a witch.
I do not know ... "I'll say it another way: a person with personal power. "I like that. "The wise witches tell the truth with compassion and did not agree with what you do not like, but do not have the rage of younger women. Some exceptional men can become witches, those with compassion, wisdom, humor and are not subject to power.
- Anything else? "Yes, wise witches are able to look back without anger or pain, are bold, they rely on hunches, meditate in their own way, firmly defend what matters most, choose your path with heart, listen to your body improvise, do not cry, laugh, and have green thumbs.
-¡...! "They hand with plants. And also with animals. First learn to love what they do, then encourage others to growth. Know recognize how fragile and what is valuable, and what should be trimmed.
- What is old age waiting for it? "The older, more learned way. Compassionate observation of the lives of others teaches you a lot, and the wise women spend a lot of time observing. There are cases, few of wisdom from the 30 or 35, but those at 60 are incredible.
- What we want to convey? "That women have the opportunity to change the world in the coming decades. But if not now, probably will not.
- Why do you say that? "After the extremes of the feminist revolution, the pendulum is at the center and allow women who can get to balance, to be complete, strong and vulnerable at the same time. - A collective path?
"Of course. I have no doubt that a small committed group can change the world. In fact, it has been so far.
- So what's the secret? "The Millionth Circle. I encourage women to form circles with a component spiritual. Just listening to the problems, hopes and fears of other women and growing your own, you gain strength.
"Excuse me, but why a circle. "When you are sitting quietly in a circle and realize that there is a spiritual connection with transforming power. I belong to one for 18 years: light a candle in silence, we have what we care about, discussed, and our energies together for a purpose.
- They call the inner power? -Interior and exterior. Spirituality, quantum physics and Buddhism say the same: Any and all are connected and therefore what each one does affects the world. In the circles of women work the morphic field, the theories of Rupert Sheldrake.
- Does the hundredth monkey? "Yes, this biologist developed the hypothesis that when a critical mass of monkeys reaches a certain knowledge, it is transmitted in an intuitive and immediate members of their species. Similarly, a number of critical circles of women can enhance the feminine qualities so necessary for the world to change.
- Why not circles mixed? "Among women there is a natural connection. Some studies found that when a woman suffering from stress talk to another woman, both releases the mothering hormone that causes the stress drop.
"Curious. -If women were involved in the peace process, everything would be easier, but if they deal in are alpha males ...!
- What happens when you are stressed out with another man? "When a man meets another stressed, secrete testosterone, causing either the flight or fight. But if that same man comes to a woman who understands him, a wise witch, your adrenaline goes down and their self-esteem. And just to sit by his side.
"It's nice that you say. "We're full of very powerful resource to those who do not pay attention, such as intuitive knowledge. Powers that can develop in the circles.
-Propóngame an inner journey. "Be genuine, be consistent with your inner self and find out what you do with your precious life. From outside you try to answer the essential questions, it will not. Reveal what kind of archetype dominates you.
- What do you mean? Her internal standards that I summarize in seven goddesses. Every woman should identify two or three dominant goddesses, from the autonomous Artemis and Athena cold, nutrient to Demeter, the creative Aphrodite or Hera, the goddess of marriage.
"Not so simple. "No, but we can live a life in which the archetype and the role we agree, we will be satisfied.
