Intro!
Barbie's New Age Genius
·
I am a fragile man. Highly—almost desperately—well-meaning. Incredibly insecure. Enduringly unsure whether I’m worthy of love. “I’m just Ken,” as Ryan Gosling sings in the Barbie movie. Perhaps, like Ken, I’d even be in danger of being radicalized nearer to borderline Incel territory were I not a happily married simp.
A wonderful, deep conversation. Shadow work is tricky and difficult, in my experience. Many opportunities for spiritual bypassing, but I don't sense any of that here. You two head straight into the darkness and shed some light. Thanks so much!
P.S. I'm also a member of the Sanity Project, where I've had the pleasure of interacting with Richard L. but not with you, Geoff.
