Emotions are energetically charged psychic content. The magnitude and direction of this charge can be mediated or controlled by conscious cognitive processes, such as thinking, and less conscious aspects, such as attitudes.

A Societal Denial
So many issues and challenges surround our daily lives. Our level of concern for ourselves and society at large has continued as a perpetual buzz that lies slightly below our conscious awareness. To become desensitized to the chaotic nature of these times is one response to the presence of fear. There are other ways to …
The Universal Restlessness
How much of our strivings are aimed at procuring some point of satiation and safety; how bored we become when we find it...

Repetitions in Search of Meaning
Sprouts burst forth anew; Leaves manifest from within to allow, once more, for there to be a thickening. Where is it that we are destined? Will there be true rest again - What about frivolities with friends? Why do we bother so much with the questions of where does this train end when …
