My most recent work has focused on a concept I call Archetypology, which expands on the theory of archetypes first posited by the psychologist, Carl Jung, to also include the biological, socio-cultural and spiritual aspects of human life. The result is a holistic approach to understanding human nature based on a pattern of development called the cycle-ending-in-transcendence. You can read a brief introduction to Archetypology here. A book-length introduction to the framework is also now available.

The Universal State of America is an application of the Archetypology framework to the post-war dominance of the USA. This is an expansion on the primary thesis of my earlier book, The Devouring Mother, which analysed the collective psychology of the modern West as being predicated on the Devouring Mother archetype.

Alongside my non-fiction writing, I am also the author of a number of works of fiction including novels and short stories.
