I wrote Pandora’s Panacea in 2007 and would describe it as a hologram. Every time you read it you will see the writing from a different angle, and yet in many ways, still see the whole picture. The book is described as ‘a work in progress’ and contains the psychoanalysis of great works of art from paintings, through fairy tales, such as the Wizard of Oz, into spirituality, mysticism … and us. Some people will assume in the back of the book I have just written some poems. Others will see that they are in fact transcriptions from the archetypal realm of the unconscious. Each poem is a transference, the real-life experiences of people whose hearts and minds are in various stages of conscious evolution. Some, when despair came crashing through the boundaries, others when the light that follows flooded in. In some poems I have written of broken hearts, of minds in turmoil and confusion, in others, I write of happiness, joy, companionship, and the ultimate experience of an infusion of grace. My poetry follows a typical, archetypal, a-typical pathway of experience, with the poems set out sequentially, more or less in parallel with a chronological reincarnation of the ego and rise in conscious comprehension. You can read more about the fundamental pattern of the Universe, and how I discovered it, in the front part of the Pandora’s Panacea, but here are just a few of the experiences I found in other people’s minds, portrayed in one of the few languages of the unconscious, recognised by the heart, the soul’s code.
