LIFE Membership Program – Insane OFFERS on Membership Sign Up…

September 1, 2023 / Clive Austin

The site will be live soon and I will be onboarding the first group of members who will be helping me to refine content and streamline delivery.

After that I will roll out phase II of the beta test in which the next 10 members will be invited to join.

After that, phase III, for the final 10 of the test period.

After that, the door will be swung fully open and off we will stride.

The bottom line is the same as the Live Creative project – namely – helping people to find and travel paths to well being and prosperity.

For those who are stuck we offer direction.

For those who are lost we offer clarity.

For those who are unfocused we offer focus.

Want to join us on the journey?

Repetition vs Belief: The Best Way to Create Lasting Change.

August 28, 2023 / Clive Austin

To Live Creative is an invitation to live simply and instinctually. To live free in the unfolding moment of yourin a way that feels natural to you.

From that place, relating to life, is not an effort.

Once the pressures to survive are taken care of, and one is meeting themselves, others and the world – meeting life in other words – in a simple way, authentic and honest, there is a simple isness to life.

This it the root of living creative – of meeting the experience of life and responding to it – creating from that place – all the time allowing the unfolding experience of to create you too.

Hope this finds you all well…

First off I just wanted to say thank you for all of the positive feedback I have received in relation to the new membership site. I know there are some of you that haven’t had the chance to engage yet and some of you for whom we spoke only briefly about the project when it was being conceived.

Thank You. The input at every stage has been invaluable.

What Really Helps Communities to Thrive?

June 19, 2023 / Clive Austin

After releasing a video on how the lack of community and connection can affect addictive tendencies, I received a comment that got me thinking. What follows is the video and some thoughts around community.

Uniform Personas and the Projection of the Shadow

June 21, 2022 / Clive Austin

When he was forced to retire early due to ill health he had to give back his uniform.

He would have continued to work for free if they would have let him. I know this because, even though he was no longer getting paid, even though he no longer got to wear the uniform, that is really what he was; he was the uniform – or rather he was what the uniform represented – and, on the inside at least, he never stopped wearing it. He couldn’t, or wouldn’t let it go. He was his job and his job made him who he thought he was.

At one level you could say that he just continued to uphold the same principles as the institution he had served, but it was more than that. It was also more than just the fact that he didn’t know what else to do with himself. Some people get so used to the job they do they end up continuing to do it because if they don’t know what else they would be if they stopped. They would be lost. It was more than that with him. For him, his whole identity was founded on his former role and the entire world, his whole experience of being, had been shaped around it.

Is The Pursuit of Truth The Healthiest Way to Live?

Trigger Warning: Synchonicity

Yes, that was irony.

It’s odd, but maybe not so odd, the number of posts I have been seeing on social media recently pertaining to the notion of God and the unconscious being one and the same. Specifically the idea that what we call the unconscious (the processes of the psyche we are unconscious of) is, effectually synonymous with God (I’ll be adding a /dess to that from now on).

In regards to depth psychology I can see the similarities. God/dess and the Psyche both have a power over our lives we do not see the workings of. One that can operate as both a divine blessing, or a seemingly wrathful curse.

The Planets Within: The Zodiac, Myth, and Healing.

September 25, 2021 / Clive Austin

How might we engage with the planets within, the archetypal fields of pattern and influence in ways that could help promote healing?

This was a question asked via our facebook group.

The short answer is ‘tentatively.’

There is also far more to say on the subject than contained in the video below, so much more that really needs to be said.

One way of view archetypes, as Jung suggested, is as self portraits of instincts.
