‘The Late Bloomer’ is the fourth and penultimate volume of Dr. Estés’ five-volume audio masterpiece known as ‘The Dangerous Old Woman.’ To the uninitiated it is difficult to describe the wisdom, insight, inspiration and stories in each volume of this series.
With the myriad skills of a therapist with decades of experience, and a depth psychologist and Jungian analyst at the top of her game, Dr. Estés deftly blends well-known stories, personal family legends and insight into a series of audio recordings that engage and inspire the listener.
As is usually the case with great work, teaching happens at many levels. Although Dr. Estés is a certified Jungian analyst, that label is too limiting. While Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell raised awareness of Archetypes, many cultural stories, legends, myths and wisdom have passed on from our ancestors for millennia. Often practitioners of depth psychology become Jungian analysts as a result of their education and studies. Dr. Estés seems to have been born to become one of our generations greatest oral and written story tellers, commune with Archetypes, Saints and Angels, as well as maintain a relentless desire to help, inspire and advocate for others.
One of the greatest gift of this series is its ability to guide the listener to discover who they really are, nurture and empower their “Original Voice,” and cast off social, cultural and personal bindings that separate the listener from his or her destiny and birthright.
Volume Four offers inspiration, comfort and encouragement for everyone, particularly those who sometimes believe time has slipped by and their creative or life opportunities are lost. Dr. Estés describes how often the most important creative and soul work takes time and that to everything there is a season. She patiently reminds and illustrates that it is never too late to heed our Soul’s calling. The story of ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes’ illustrates how we can give our identities away and fall prey to the lies society, others and even our own ego tell us. ‘The Fisherman’s Wife’ is one of the greatest tales ever told of how to be grateful for what we have, and pursue that which truly matters. ‘Grandmother Katerin And The Story Of The Red Boots,’ is a metaphor for most great spiritual and religious revelations. If the listener feels “stuck” or questions his or her value, this recording affirms it is never too late to pursue destiny and dreams and that the time do that is NOW!
While it is easy to think these audio recordings are intended for adults, they are easily accessible to adolescents and young adults. Like the best timeless wisdom teaching, they contain messages for listeners of any age or stage of growth and development. For the observant listener, the art on each recording cover is a symbol for the series.
Don’t hesitate to buy this outstanding volume and series. Whatever you pay for the recording, and invest in time listening, is an extraordinary value sure to pay rich emotional, mental, physical and spiritual dividends.
