Old Struggles on a New Earth

Daniel Pinchbeck

The Sexual Revolution, Take Two

Daniel Pinchbeck

When I separated from my last partner, I realized that I did not feel that monogamy was working for me as a model. Yet I also knew that I craved long-lasting, deep, and sustainable relationships. Since then, I have sought to reconcile my conflicting yearnings, and wondered if other models of relationships are possible or desirable. (more)

Meeting The Spirits

Daniel Pinchbeck

Initiatory rituals have been an essential part of human cultures for thousands of years, yet in our modern secular culture they have been abandoned. If we hope to overcome our current global crisis, we need to attain a more sophisticated understanding of the world of the spirits, as well as techniques for dealing with them. (more)

Mission Possible

Daniel Pinchbeck

When people in our culture want to be enthralled and inspired by a story, we run to the movies, where dramas of life, death, and redemption are played out at pulse-pounding high speed. Most of us do not fully realize that we are currently participating in a real-life thriller that could go as down-to-the-wire as any episode of Mission Impossible or Star Wars. (more)

From Ego to We Go

Daniel Pinchbeck

When I was in my twenties, literature was my ruling passion, and my heroes were writers such as Fitzgerald, Kerouac, Virginia Woolf, and Henry Miller. I longed to emulate the passionate intensity of their prose, and the “negative capability” which infused their characters with recognizable life.(more)
