Barbara Hand Clow majored in philosophy at Seattle University, behavioral psychology at the University of Washington and then began extensive reading and study of Reichian, Freudian and Jungian Psychology. She began her study and practice of astrology in 1969. In 1980 Barbara and her husband Gerry co-founded Bear & Company Publishers. In 1982-83, she earned a Master’s degree in theology and healing. Her thesis compared Jungian psychoanalytic technique and past life regression therapy. Barbara is an international lecturer, workshop teacher and writer.

She returns to Red Ice to discuss Awakening the Planetary Mind. She’ll explain how we are on the cusp of an age of incredible creative growth made possible by restoring our lost prehistory. Through tracing humanity’s reemergence after prehistoric catastrophes, Clow explains how these events in the deep past influence our consciousness today. She says we are beginning a collective healing as ancient memories of prehistory awaken in our minds and release our unprocessed fear.

There’s a particular dimension where creativity arises. It’s a little bit like the wick burning the flame, and its sustenance is the oil – it’s in an oil lamp, and you are the flame. All the analogies, by the way, are very deficient, but it’s just a distant approximation to get you into a sense of what that place is. So you are the flame, and you feel your way into the very source – down the wick into where the oil is, inside yourself. That’s the place, the source, so if anything is new, creative, then it has a fragrance of the source.

Somehow, humans, even humans who are still very much identified with their mind, many of them are touched by when they see or hear or whatever – come into contact with – something that came out of that deeper level, whether it’s a work of art, or a piece of music, or it could just be somebody talking. And the words come from that deeper level. It could just be somebody who has a good sense of humor – even that is already a form of creativity. Spontaneous humor is to suddenly see something that one wouldn’t normally see – a connection between two seemingly unconnected things, and suddenly you connect them and everybody laughs. Some people have that. Some people have one small area in which they can be creative, and that can be enough to provide you with fulfillment and an income, for the rest of your life – and to contribute that gift to others.

Great stand up comedians, for example, have that gift. Of course, not everything they say is spontaneous, but when they prepare their stuff, they have to be creative. Now I don’t know if anybody here has tried to be a standup comedian, but it’s difficult. Many people try. It’s hard to be funny. But some have it, and it’s amazing – those few that have that gift. And there too, the sense of humor is spontaneously something arises, and there it comes. It’s being in touch with that. It’s wonderful to be able to be in touch with that, and feel the power that flows from there, out into this world. Now for that, of course you need some kind of vehicle, because the power needs to flow into some kind of form.
