A New Vision of Reality: an interview with Anne Baring

[Billy]

Hi, At last i can watch videos and my first choice last night from my many bookmarked videos was this amazing interview with Author and philosopher Anne Baring talking to Andrew Harvey. Which a close friend sent me.

Anne shares her experiences with the Shekinah, The divine feminine that came to her in her dreams. The sacred marriage between spirit and matter. Alchemy and transcendence.

She brings together science and spirituality.

Enjoy.

Autobiographical Notes

I travelled widely in India and the Far East during the 1950's before training and practising as a Jungian analyst. I am a member of the Scientific and Medical Network and, until my retirement from private practice in 2000, I was a member of the Association of Jungian Analysts, London and the International Association for Analytical Psychology. I have lectured for several years in both the United Kingdom and the United States and have recently given a seminar course called The Sleeping Beauty, the Prince and the Dragon - an Exploration of the Soul, which drew together my interest in psychology, mythology, ecology, fairy tales and alchemy (see Seminars). I am currently working on a new book which integrates these different aspects of our quest to understand ourselves and our relationship to the universe. (For an amplification of these notes, please see in particular lectures 4 and 8, and seminar 1).

-----I have always been fascinated by the power of individuals to shape and influence history. Why do people feel, think and act the way they do? What is the anatomy of human creativity and human destructiveness - the root of the invisible influences, both individual and collective, which can both create and destroy civilization? Since I was deeply affected as a child by the Second World War, I wanted to understand the causes - religious, political and psychological - which could drive human beings to the depths of depravity and the heights of altruism and self-sacrifice. How are we conditioned by beliefs and habits of behaviour to respond to events in the way we do?

And here. http://www.annebaring.com/anbar11_new-vis01_intro.htm

The passionate longing of the human heart has always been to go beyond the boundaries of the known, to break through the limitations of our understanding. This is perhaps the most fundamental and essential freedom. Now, more than ever before, we need to honour that longing.

What is the emerging vision of our time? It is a vision that takes us beyond an outworn paradigm where we were held in bondage to beliefs and attitudes specific to race, nation, religion or gender. It is a vision that offers us a totally new concept of God as an energy field - a cosmic sea of being - as well as the creative consciousness or organising intelligence of that sea or field, and a totally new concept of ourselves as belonging to and participating in that consciousness.

It is a vision that recognises the sacredness and indissoluble unity of the great web of life and imposes on us the responsibility to become far more sensitive to the effects of our decisions and our actions. It invites our recognition of the needs of the planet and the life it sustains as primary, with ourselves as the conscious servants of those needs. Above all, it is a vision that asks that we relinquish our addiction to violence and the pursuit of power; that we become more aware of the dark shadow cast by this addiction which threatens us with ever more barbarism, bloodshed and suffering, leading ultimately to the possible extinction of our species.




Peace.

Thank you Paul.


I visited my good friend today who passed on the above interview to me. She had just purchased two of Anne's books. The dream of the cosmos and The Myth of the Goddess. She shared the following video.

In this video " A woman of vision" Anne shares her lives journey, searching and discovering who she was. Anne shares some channeled writings that her Mother received after the war. Which until recently has never been shared. She also shares her journey to India in the 1950's where she had a profound experience in Tiruvanannamalai, in Tamil Nadu.

A place where i also had an experience that i mention here. https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...l=1#post748398

I headed to the east coast to Tiruvanannamalai, in Tamil Nadu. The town I was born in my last life, a town I had been to before and fallen in love with. It was inland, so had escaped the Tsunami. I arrived 2 days later. I met an Indian family and the daughter spoke good English, so I asked her to listen to the tape and tell me where I was to plant the tree, as I could not make it out.

Myself on top of the mountain that Anne describes in the video.



Enjoy.

Thanks for this Billy, I totally relate to this, I am going to research Anne Baring further.

Her discussions on the divine feminine, the wheel and being centered totally relates to this

She talks a lot about dreams and how they have led her to realizations, I had a dream last night, that I woke up feeling it was significant, it involved Kali and placed relevance on the time between today's new moon and the full moon
