Things I'm proud of: Being one of the group of people who worked to bring nuclear power to a halt, in Springfield, Oregon, early 80s, and succeeded. My reasons: the apocalyptic dangers of nuclear energy. My part: going door-to-door every night for a few years in Springfield and towns up and down the Willamette Valley educating people about the dangers of nuclear and the financial scandal of the WPPPS plants. How it was done: Enough grass roots pressure was brought to bear. The organization I worked for, Oregon Fair Share, discovered Springfield law that stipulated that its citizens could not be indebted/taxed over a certain % without a vote of the people; there had been no vote; the costs overruns of WPPS would have led to indebtedness of approx. $8,000 per household throughout the Northwest - just to "mothball" the plants. This led to a lawsuit. Current US Congressmen Representative Peter deFazio became involved and helped in the lawsuit, which was taken on, pro bono, by an attorney, whose name I've forgotten. We won, creating the largest bond default in U.S. history. Other municipalities followed suit. Nuclear power was shown up to be the financial gravy train for investors and the financial ripoff for consumers that it is. No applications to build a plant were filed after that.

Other things I'm proud of: all of my writings; any way I've helped clients in therapy; any way I've helped students when I taught at the university; my websites and blogs, the fact that I was a hippie and a young radical and antiwar activist in the Sixties; the fact that I lived during the incredible Sixties and got to experience and get bitten by the idealism and global visionary bug, which I hold fast, to the this day; and the fact that I was the perfect age to understand and experience it - in my late teens and early twenties; the fact that I had the sense and courage to do thorough primal therapy in Denver during the years 1975-1980; my wife, Mary Lynn, my brothers and sisters, my nieces and nephews, in particular, still growing up Timothy; and especially my Godchildren, JoAnn, Tyler, and still growing up, eleven year old, smart, athletic, and amazingly for her age, sensitive and loving, Elizabeth.

I'm also proud of my ability to be silly as hell without caring, to be madcap, to make people laugh, to be rational, to wake people up, to be comedic, to be able to write more wisely than I have any realization of knowing, to notice the person left out in a group and to include that person, to care about the suffering of people I don't know, as well as those I do, and to feel their pain, to care about the plight of our planetmates, the other beings on this planet who don't have to resort to rarely effective language in order to communicate, to be able to forgive, to be tolerant, to be non-judgmental about what people do that doesn't effect others, and to be able to be on any person's level - from child to working stiff to university prof to corporate cog - and to hear, understand, and share with them in their language.

The most fun I've had: playing with nephew and Goddaughter, Elizabeth, and being in their world and playing with them and sharing with them my ability to make up wild outlandish fantasies of reality that we'd laugh and play around with, at the same time giving them the support, love, role model, advice, and acceptance of the adult I am; also the "work" I did with the developmentally delayed and emotionally disturbed, where I found that they had more ability to share in laughter and to be funny and clever, and to be loving, than most "normal" people - child or adult.

Another thing I'm proud of: Learning through the work above that everyone, no matter their level of intelligence or their emotional problems, are beautiful sparks of divinity with bits of genius, and certainly unique wonderful qualities, that make them delightful to be with.

My main mission in life: Searching for truth in world of Lies, Liars; wanting to help as we kill the planet, all of us, all our children, grandchildren, and all the planetmates, all the beings, of which God made millions of species, who have lived and had a home on this planet until only lately, the planet-killing half-borns, the species, Homo Sapiens, evolved, to their extreme detriment.

Where I grew up: Wilkes-Barre, PA

MY GREATEST DISCOVERY

The Experiential Psychotherapies, especially primal therapy, have proven that our entire personality, even what is called "human nature" are formed by experiences occurring much earlier in life than Freud ever imagined.
     They create the basis for our attitudes, philosophy, our spiritual beliefs, and our core personality.
     These experiences go back even before conception to experiences of the sperm and egg; and the earlier the experience, the more powerful its effect in forming the adult personality.
     Some of these experiences are inevitably traumatic, but they can be healed.
     For one who does this, benefits accrue which others have no way of comprehending, but they are invaluable, powerful, priceless, and make possible human potentials we are still discovering and exploring.
     A new consciousness, a new society, a new world is possible
through particular, specific, and highly unusual and unique methods -- which, ironically, are the most natural, simple, and obvious (for those whose trauma is no longer causing them to overcomplicate everything); but also, which methods are known, quite unfortunately, by very few therapists, even among those who call themselves primal therapists.

THE BLAH-BLAH-BLAH THAT THE LEFT BRAIN WANTS FOR CREDS

MICHAEL DERZAK ADZEMA (aka Mickel Adzema) is a free-lance scholar and writer who has written for a variety of international and regional magazines and journals. He has been published in a number of fields, with articles in The Journal of Humanistic Psychology, The Journal of Psychohistory, Pre- and Perinatal Psychology Journal, The Anthropology of Consciousness, Aesthema: The Journal of the International Primal Association, The Inner Door: The Publication of the Association for Holotropic Breathwork International, and Primal Renaissance: The Journal of Primal Psychology. He also writes for the popular/lay public in magazines that have ranged from The Rose Garden and Spirit of Change (with a number of articles in each) to Let's Live and Bestways magazines, and many others. He has published three books on this site -- Falls From Grace: Spiritual and Philosophical Perspectives of Prenatal and Primal Experience, Apocalpyse, Or New Age? The Emerging Perinatal Unconscious and Primal Renaissance: The Emerging Millennial Return (they are each available here, free of charge, in their entirety). He specializes in writing about psychology and spirituality; but has written extensively on their interrelation with topics such as the environment, consciousness, politics, health and nutrition, and metaphysics, as well as psychohistory.

Most recently, SillyMickel has expanded into multimedia forms of expression, combining the written word with sound, music, video, images, and the spoken word, but all for the same purpose of expressing points and educating on important subjects and issues, but hopefully in a more attractive and entertaining way that seeks to engage more of the receiver's senses and faculties; and, along with humor, more of the receiver's emotions. He is nearing completion on several multimedia productions, which will have the depth and breadth of a book, but which may be presented in a way that is interactive with possible parallel and alternating modes of reception, and always, some simultaneous modes of reception that are congruent in aiding focus as opposed to dispersing it. His projects are many, but he considers his most important ones to be the ones that have to do with the secret rapidly approaching apocalypse and the secretive response it is receiving, the roots of both -- Doomsday and its Cover-Up -- in political and economic hijinks and grave misdeeds, the relationship of all of this to to consciousness and psychological dynamics that are particularly primally understood, the forgotten others on this planet besides Homo Ego Maximus Erectus, primal reasons why people choose the horrible and violence and cannot accept happiness, and spiritual aspects of all of this, with metaphysical threads weaving it all together. You'll just have to keep watching this website; and there will be electronic productions that can be purchased for those who wish that also.

Mickel is also a primal facilitator, but his full-time occupation is with communication and education in the ways described above. He is assisted in all his work by his wife, Mary Lynn, who has a background -- educationally, experientially, spiritually, and idealistically -- in terms of social action -- similar to Mickel's though not as intense or deep. She is his main sounding board and feedback and channels insights at perfect times, which often serve to expand the vision and breadth of the end products. When this was written, they were both living in Northern California. Though by the time many people will read this it is hard to say where they are. Most accurate would probably be: mental abode: cyberspace; emotional abode: unity with all consciousness human and nonhuman; physical abode: closest would be one like the wind has.

He has received university education at a number of universities, including Franklin and Marshall College, East Stroudsbug State University, King's College, University of Colorado at Denver, University of California at San Diego, World's University in Ojai, California, and Sonoma State University; and he has studied and been enrolled in the fields of humanistic psychology, anthropology -- focusing on psychological anthropology, philosophy, religious studies, transpersonal psychology, and economics. He holds a Master's degree in "Spiritual Aspects of Prenatal Re-Experience," which he received from Sonoma State University in Rohnert Park, California. At the same university, both as a student and afterwards, he was a university instructor, each semester teaching a course in Pre- and Perinatal Psychology -- in fact, he has been cited by the Association for Pre- and Perinatal Psychology and Health (APPPAH), in their newsletter, as being the first person in the United States to teach a course in Pre- and Perinatal Psychology at the university level.

For twelve years, Mickel has been the webmaster and editor of this site, Primal Spirit: Powerful Catalysts for Fundamental Growth of Self, Society, and Planet, The Deeper Wave of the New Age, and within the last year he has expanded his internet presence to include the sites listed on the left, most of which are his original creations, in which he serves as webmaster. Of this recent proliferation and expansion, the best thing that can be said is "Thank God for Barack Obama and the good people of America, now a majority, who changed history, consciousness, global prospects, and in no small way, the life course of Mickel and Mary Lynn Adzema
