This morning I was reading this account from Gurdjieff student Kathryn Hulme who, along with some other of his students, were taken to a casino to observe human behavior and given money to gamble with. The “lesson” was to observe people who were slaves to their appetites. I think she captured her lesson well in […]

I once dated a guy who found out that telling me he was praying was a perfect way to get under my skin and start a fight. I don’t know if I still have a Tinder profile up, but if I did, there would be a riff on that line about “My relationship with God

Last year I had an epiphany about a problematic signature in my astrological chart: a t-square between Mars, Neptune, and Saturn/North Node, and as per the few teachings I’ve been able to find about t-squares, I’ve learned that they produce projection. Anatomically, the apex planet of a t-square acts like chalk to delienate a major

We just had a provincial election, followed by a municipal one, and there was a campaign in the city election that annoyed me called “Common Sense Regina”. Immediately when I heard it, I thought “right wing”. Common sense isn’t a partisan word on its own- anyone can have it- but in a campaign, the slogans

I’ve been trying to write about Enneagram Type Sixes who are behind the conspiracy theories undermining this presidential race and tainting it with cynicism and chronic skepticism, but Type Six is by far the toughest type to understand.

I was talking to someone the other day about the elections going on in Saskatchewan and the US and they called themselves an anarchist, where political hierarchy is abolished and no one is considered “in charge”.

I worked as a school secretary for a number of years and there were kids here and there who were trying on different genders, and it was a topic I thought we treated well and I think the parents felt supported. But honestly it was the least of our worries. Our biggest worry was lack

I have a visceral reaction when therapists look at you with a knowing look and say, “Deep down, you know what the answer is.” Or “Deep down, you know what you’re supposed to do.” No we don’t. They tend not to be professional-professionals, moreso coaches, but whenever I hear someone try and pull that off,

It’s easy for me to delienate where Saturn (conservatism) is going wrong, but I’ve had a harder time understanding where Jupiter (liberalism) is going wrong. Justin Trudeau is an Enneagram Type 3, and Threes belong to the shame triad- they are motivated to look good in order to hide their shame (the other two shame

If anyone remembers this guy, I do. This is Stockwell Day, a former leader of the conservative Alliance Party in Canada. A Christian, he believed God planted dinosaur bones on the earth to test our faith. When he was running for office, I remember walking up and down my Bible College dorm shrieking rapturously that
