I have come to Haridwar- the city name literally translates as gateway(dwar = door) to God (Hari=God), to attend to some important matters. I am suffering from insomnia. At first, I thought my bodily rhythms were disturbed due to jet lag but the body has had enough time to adjust. I use my sleepless hours to write. Despite some pretty difficult circumstances, I am getting time to reflect on the contributions the Indian culture has to make to psychology and spirituality. I am especially keen on remodeling the four ashramas for modern life as ways of living more naturally and consciously in keeping with the patterns of the psyche from birth through death. I see myself as being in the Vanaprastha stage of life - see my page on this blog explaining what that entails.
