The Alchemy of Release There are moments in therapeutic work—quiet, almost stealthy—when something shifts inside a person, and the entire psychic posture reorients itself toward ease. Nothing external changes, yet everything becomes more breathable. The air lightens, the shoulders soften, the psyche remembers its own proportions. Complexity doesn’t vanish; it clarifies. What once required immense…
The Dance of Time and Imagination Retrocausation speaks of enigmatic reversals—moments when the future ripples backward through time. It dwells in a mystic twilight, that charged realm where archetypal realities meet the mathematics of modern physics. Such a dynamo of psychic energy disrupts the tidy progression of hours and years, whispering to attuned minds that […] The post Retrocausation and…
To understand what is enough—sufficient to live well and meaningfully—is to step into what I call the alchemy of enough. The Swedes have a word for it: lagom, loosely translated as “just the right amount.” In a world that clamors for more and more, to live by lagom feels quietly rebellious. It is not resignation […] The post The Alchemy of Enough appeared first on Paul DeBlassie III, Ph.D. .
At first, there was only earth. A sun-warmed path, ancient and bare, curved through the wilderness like a scar, dust rising in soft spirals with each step. The wind held its breath. And walking that path—two figures, yet one soul. They moved in unison, step for step, the silence between them a wordless understanding. One […] The post Shadow and Light: The Way of the Sovereign Soul appeared first…

It’s often monstrous, yet always sacred. It is the sacred language of the psyche when normal means of communication with the self have failed. The […] The post The Alchemy of Horror: Darkness as a Doorway appeared first on…

Alchemical in essence and transformative in effect, dreams carry the hidden language of your soul. They are not only a reflection of your current state but also a powerful […] The post Psychic Gold: The Magic Hidden in Our Dreams appeared first on Paul DeBlassie…
There’s a sense of knowing you’re dreaming when you’re dreaming, and then there’s the bliss of simply dreaming. The two aren’t necessarily at odds, but they can be if we try to inject techniques to control the process. Workshops, seminars, classes, and teachings abound on how to dream, control your dreams, and be awake while […] The post The Heart of Dreaming appeared first on Paul DeBlassie III,…
We Live What We Create The horror of everyday life lies in its simplicity. It’s loaded with choices. Horrifying! In the words of the Brooklyn poet Walt Whitman, in Song of Myself, “. . .. Nor any more heaven or hell than there is right now.” To retreat from or advance into states of […] The post The Right Now of Heaven and Hell appeared first on Paul DeBlassie III, Ph.D. .
As a psychotherapist and writer, I treat and write about unhealthy emotional ties as horror-making. Sick ties exert toxic effects that can be felt as anxiety and depression. They can eventually make their way into the body. The body cries out when the mind is in pain, writes one psychologist. And it’s true. In Goddess […] The post Toxic Ties Feed the Horror appeared first on Paul DeBlassie III,…
Find Your Rage Rage cuts through the BS. It gets to the heart of things and sweeps all else away. There’s nothing like it to get things going in life. As a psychotherapist and writer, I want to make sure you understand that rage has nothing to do with losing your temper – a […] The post Find Your Rage, You Find Yourself . . . appeared first on Paul DeBlassie III, Ph.D. .
