Walter Logeman: Journal
I have several earlier posts about this but the link where I quote this particular essay has gone dead. Searching on a snippet I found the whole (?) item on a Japanese website. I don’t know the author or original source. The old dead link might be a clue: http://info.bethany.wvnet.edu/wsimmons/Metaxy.html I now have a Metaxy …
This time from James Hillman Especiallythis Neoplatonic tradition is thoroughly Western even if it is not empirical in method, rationalist in conception, or otherworldly spiritual in appeal. This tradition holds to the notion of soul as a first principle, placing this soul as a tertium between the perspectives of body (matter, nature, empirics) and of …
Nous, Ananke and Eros: Reflections about the Images of the Soul by Marcus Vinicius Quintaes João talks of love as being “a bridge which helps people connect these two places that are so very distant one from the other”; it is in this mediating space, on this bridge, in this intermediary region that the Greeks …
I have liked to this essay before, it is crucial to my explorations, because the whole of psychotherapy is in the metaxy. The transference is participatory.

I recall being advised by my then supervisor, about 30 years ago, to look around for a psychotherapy modality that grabbed me and then to learn it thoroughly and not become prematurely eclectic. I followed that advice. Psychodrama was that modality for me and I am steeped in its traditions and have practiced it for …
I’m editing my 2003 essay Archetypes of Cyberspace and to fix the dead links I go to the Internet Archive – and find material I read a decade or so a go. I value this stuff! Here is a concise statement about Archetypal psychology. Worth knowing about! http://web.archive.org/web/20021022105035/http://www.springpub.com/CAP1h.htm
Looking for ideas on this notion I came across posts from Don Reekie. Not exactly a crucible but a space that is more than a physical construction. A space for truth. http://www.donreekie.com/2010/04/stage-a-wonderful-and-particular-place-in-reality/ http://www.donreekie.com/2010/04/staging-and-reality/ What happens when we step out of ordinary reality onto the psychodrama stage is that the metaxy comes alive, the medial world …
