I can attest that William Stimson is no new-age mountebank out to fleece people of money or their personal power. I am not associated with his dream group in any way, but I have met him and found him to be honest, creative, and quite deliberate in his endeavor to bring a higher level of self-reflection to people's lives. Mr. Stimson is an accomplished academic published in educational journals. What's the problem? Why be so quick to disparage his effort to bring something different to Taiwan? If discussing dreams is not your cup of tea, then move on and leave others to do the work they choose to do.Braden Ricohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08122746045604907515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-1139415015479017332006-02-09T00:10:00.000+08:002006-02-09T00:10:00.000+08:00I don't recall Bill's letter, but I will say he is...I don't recall Bill's letter, but I will say he is not a con artist nor a new age nut job. He is an intelligent, decent, and caring man. I participated in one of his dream workshops and found it well worthwhile; I would recommend it to anyone who believes in Jung's approach to dreams and life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-1139218028315782022006-02-06T17:27:00.000+08:002006-02-06T17:27:00.000+08:00I should hasten to add that I loved its powerfully...I should hasten to add that I loved its powerfully pro-Taiwan sentiments.
