On Meeting Patricia Sun
Patricia’s work in the world quickly moved from academia to a home no longer hidden: a personal partnership with anyone who cared to work with her, piece by piece, on the expansion of private politics to a global realm and the exposure of the lie that we are powerless.
January 1981On The Mind And Cancer
I think it’s important that we appreciate that what we’re doing with this approach is to bring to awareness an unconscious tool that has existed in our culture for centuries, that tool being the use of physical disease to meet important emotional needs. Disease has been called Western civilization’s only form of meditation.
November 1980Woman’s Choice: A Sampler
Excerpts From A New Intimate Monthly Journal Of Feminine Expression

July 1979The Bach Flower Remedies
An Interview With Larry Miller
