psychology practice, Howick, Auckland: stress & depression counselling

 

 

 

 

 

Writing, for me has been many things. It has been a way of thinking through the meaning of life at different stages.

"The Green Light In the Mountains" is a chidlren's story which was originally written for a workshop to illustrate archetypal symbols.

The "Was-Beryl" battles with the limitations of our thinking and the issues of determinism vs free will.

"The Place Without a Name" is a collection of short stories which point to a world beyond the concrete.

"Meta-Consciousness" is a thesis which proposes a spiritual dimension which may be attained by personal growth and commitment to values beyond the "I".

This is the underlying philosophy which has informed my Psychology Practice.

BOOK SHELF



 THE GREEN LIGHT IN THE MOUNTAINS

Evil has prevailed over the land for many years. The people of the past are brought to life by the story tellers. A mysterious rhyme and magical necklace hold secrets and a little girl becomes a heroine when her small brother is captured by the powers of darkness.


THE PLACE WITHOUT A NAME

"The Place without a Name" is a collection of four fictional short stories, all of which represent turning points in the lives of ordinary people. Somewhere, somehow, sometime a window into another world opens and changes the direction of the lives of these people, reminding us that there is not only a "seen", but parallel to this, an "unseen" universe, which leads us to reevaluate the meanings which we have hitherto regarded as self-evident.


METACONSCIOUSNESS

Metaconsciousness postulates two phases of growth. The first phase centres around the development of the self. In the second phase the metaconscious individual may choose to focus on the Infinite Whole and the self is realigned in accordance with this new Whole.
THE WAS-BERYL

Beryl Born 1946 - Died 1981 Beryl's life was lived out in the middle of the 20th Century with all the ambiguities and mixed messages of the time. In the Was-Beryl her brain has been culled by Savan. Savan represents the voice of cynicism and a science alienated from any form of spirituality.At the start of the book Beryl wrestles with the God of her limited imagination. A God who can see evil and be indifferent to it. Slowly as the book progresses, Beryl describes formative lessons from her short life. She is the observer even when attempting to participate in life and she constantly attempts to review her perceptions in terms of her understanding at the time. She hears Savan and his arguments but gradually something within her grows which cannot conform to the purely logical. Beryl begins to find a universal God which is something other than her own projection. At this point she no longer attempts to align God with self but rather begins to conform herself to this other dimension.
