Podcasts about Carl Jung

Welcome to “When Words Fail, Music Speaks,” the podcast where we battle depression and anxiety with the transformative power of song.In today's episode your host, the ever‑curious James Cox, sits down with Natalie Nokomis—the hauntingly beautiful, dark‑pop artist who blends trip‑hop, alternative R&B, and a pinch of horror‑movie vibe into music that feels like a midnight meditation.From Natalie's winding journey—yoga instructor, massage therapist, Whole Foods worker, bartender, real‑estate licensee, and longtime customer‑service pro—to her mid‑life awakening during COVID, we hear how she and her husband, producer Cosmicus, turned a shared love of horror films and personal‑development into a unique sonic world.Together they dive deep into:The roots of “dark pop” and how it differs from mainstream pop or pure horror‑themed music.Shadow work and Carl Jung, and why embracing our “dark side” can be a vital part of healing.Personal trauma turned art, including the loss of Natalie's mother at 16 and the ongoing influence of family mental‑illness on her lyrics.The creative process as therapy, from spontaneous lyric‑writing to confronting the ego versus the authentic self.Upcoming releases—the metamorphic single “Shed,” the soon‑to‑drop tracks “Alchemy” (September) and “Star Sailing” (November), plus a heartfelt January tribute “Hopeless January.”Future projects like an acoustic Christmas song, the “Dark North” merch line, and Cosmicus' spooky Halloween playlists.Whether you're a fan of haunting atmospheres, hard‑rock riffs, or the quiet confidence that comes from karaoke nights, Natalie's story reminds us that music isn't just entertainment—it's a lifeline, a mirror, and a bold declaration of freedom.Stay tuned, lean in, and let the conversation guide you toward your own shadow‑embracing, soul‑healing soundtrack.

Episode Title: What the Silence Has Been HidingSeason 3: Series Finale: "What Do You Have To Believe To Believe That?"What are you waiting for?Not in the abstract. Specifically.The investors. The board. A little more capacity. The lawyers. The kids to go off to college. To lose the weight.Or the biggest trap of all: Waiting for things to get back to normal.Here is what thirty years of sitting with leaders at the highest levels has taught Dov Baron about fate.Carl Jung wrote: "Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will run your life, and you will call it fate."The fifth partner who turned out to be exactly like the four before. The job with the same impossible boss you didn't find; you unconsciously selected them. The pattern you keep blaming on bad luck.Psychoanalysts call it repetition compulsion. The mind keeps rebuilding the situation it never resolved, hoping it wins this time.It's not fate. It's the manuscript of your architecture of meaning that you keep signing off on.The only exit is seeing the pattern from outside.Normal isn't coming back. And the cost of waiting for it is something this episode names directly, without softening it, at a personal, civilizational, and generational level. IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST EPISODEThis episode is the answer. Episode 1 is the question.Start with Episode 1: You Didn't Think It. It Was Thought For You. [URL]Five episodes. One mechanism examined from the personal to the civilizational. Each episode is complete in itself. Together, they build the most important argument this series makes. WHAT THIS EPISODE IS ABOUTThis is the series finale of What Do You Have to Believe to Believe That?Four episodes examined the mechanism operating in Peter Thiel, JD Vance, and Curtis Yarvin. This episode turns the lens around.On Dov Baron. On the armor built from intelligence and called wisdom. On ten thousand whispered moments called something else. On the jaw wired closed for nine months after a hundred and twenty-foot fall. On a cat named Tuffy ‘Mr Tuf', found cold and stiff on an ordinary evening, who finally got through when the armor couldn't hold.And on the new feudalism we are already living inside. The technocrats as digital landowners. The mental and emotional taxes paid in attention, privacy, and the capacity for sustained thought. The cognitive overload designed to make genuine examination feel impossible.That's not a bug. It's a feature.Because a person who cannot finish a thought cannot mount a coherent examination of the architecture running their life.And the people in your care are living inside the consequences. THE COST OF THE UNEXAMINED LIFELeadership from an unexamined wound does not produce vision. It produces the wound at scale.This series has offered four episodes of evidence for that claim. The world has offered fifteen years of consequences.The meteorologists at NOAA gone before the hurricane season. The FDA reviewers who decided whether your medication was safe. The IRS specialists who pursued fraud by those who could afford lawyers. The Schedule F executive order removing over 317,000 federal employees and replacing them with pre-vetted loyalists.These are the operational consequences of unexamined wounds given civilizational resources.The geopolitical, economic, and environmental world has fallen off the mountain.Normal is over.And you and I and our children are living inside what comes next. THE EXAMINATIONThe armor Dov built, so effectively disguised as wisdom that it had him convinced, could not survive one ordinary evening alone with a dead cat he didn't particularly like.Because armor only works when there's something to protect.True transformation is not a new layer of spackle. It's full demolition. The phoenix can only rise from the flames when every false image has burned away.The only exit from the pattern is seeing it from outside.If something shifted for you across these five episodes, not just in your thinking but in the place below your thinking where some version of Tuffy Mr Tuf gets through when the armor can't hold, reach out directly at dov@dovbaron.com with the subject line: The Examination.Not to buy anything. To find out whether you're ready to discover what you actually believe. And who built the part of you that believes it. THE QUESTION TO CARRYThe Sound of Silence ends with the neon god still there. Still being bowed to. Because the people in the song never asked the question.You have. Four times in four episodes. And now once more.What do you have to believe to believe that?And what are you willing to do about it?

Not observing. Being the person that founders and senior executives call when the external success has arrived and something essential is still missing.Most people who find this series want to know one thing.How do I get access to that room?His work sits at the intersection of the Emotional Source Code and the Emotional Meaning Architecture: psychological frameworks that reveal what drives behavior, identity, and meaning before it reaches conscious examination. The same frameworks that produced the analysis you've been listening to across five episodes.He has worked exclusively by referral for twenty years. He has personally interviewed every client. And he has said no to at least as many as he has said yes to.If you are a founder or senior executive or leader in any form who has arrived at the place where what you've built is no longer enough, where the winning has stopped being the thing, where the armor has started to feel heavy in a way it didn't used to feel, reach out directly at dov@dovbaron.com with the subject line: The Examination.Not to buy anything. To find out whether you're ready to discover what you actually believe. And who built the part of you that believes it. ABOUT THE POLYMATHIC PERSPECTIVEThe Polymathic Perspective examines the emotional logic beneath power, culture, identity, and meaning. Together, we discover how psychological, cultural, and geopolitical patterns drive behaviors, not just in people, but in systems. If you've been told your curiosity is a liability, it's your greatest asset.

" Until you make the unconscious, it will direct your life, and you will call it fate." - Carl Jung

What is synchronicity, and are coincidences meaningful? Explore Carl Jung, incredible true coincidence stories, chaos theory, fate, signs from the universe, and the mysterious connections linking our lives.What if the coincidences in your life aren't really coincidences?Why do seemingly unrelated events sometimes line up with astonishing precision? What does it mean when you think about someone you haven't seen in years—and suddenly they appear? Why do certain unlikely events happen at exactly the right moment?In this fascinating episode, we explore synchronicity, meaningful coincidences, coincidence and causation, interconnectedness, and the possibility that there are hidden patterns within the apparent randomness of life.Inspired by a passage from Lyall Watson's The Dreams of the Dragons, this episode explores some of the most remarkable examples of synchronicity ever reported—including a devastating church explosion in Nebraska, actor Anthony Hopkins' incredible encounter with a lost book, a future husband appearing unexpectedly in a childhood photograph, and a startling real-life coincidence involving a long-lost romantic connection.Could these events simply be random chance? Or could they reveal something deeper about how interconnected our lives really are?What Is Synchronicity?Synchronicity is a term most closely associated with Swiss psychologist Carl Gustav Jung, who used it to describe meaningful coincidences—events that appear to be connected by meaning even though there is no obvious causal relationship between them.Jung's ideas raise a fascinating question:Can two unrelated events be connected in a meaningful way?This episode explores the difference between coincidence and synchronicity, and why some coincidences feel so extraordinary that we instinctively wonder whether the universe is trying to tell us something.We also look at the historical idea that the world may be fundamentally interconnected—a concept explored by philosophers, physicians, psychologists, and scientists throughout history.Are Coincidences Meaningful?One of the central questions of this episode is whether coincidences can have meaning.Psychology, philosophy, probability, spirituality, and science all approach this question differently.Some coincidences can be explained through probability and statistics. Others may be examples of our brains recognizing patterns in random events.But that doesn't necessarily eliminate the personal meaning of the experience.Sometimes a coincidence stops us in our tracks.Sometimes it makes us wonder.Sometimes it changes how we see our lives.And sometimes the most interesting question isn't "Was this supernatural?" but:"What does this experience mean to me?"Is There a Pattern Inside Randomness?The episode also explores an intriguing connection to chaos theory.Although chaos can appear completely random, mathematical systems can contain recognizable structures and patterns—including strange attractors.Could the apparent randomness of life contain patterns that we don't yet understand?Could synchronicity somehow emerge from hidden connections within complex systems?There is no simple answer, but these questions sit at the fascinating intersection of science, psychology, philosophy, spirituality, and mystery.Episode Highlights✨ The astonishing story of the 1950 Beatrice, Nebraska church explosion and the choir members who were all inexplicably late

Years before AA existed, Carl Jung, the famous Swiss psychiatrist, sent his patient Rowland H. in search of a spiritual solution for his alcoholism. Since then, millions have followed in his footsteps. Bill Wilson corresponded with Jung thanking him for his contribution to AA and many in the fellowship, including Wilson himself, benefitted from the “depth” or “analytical” psychology practiced by Jung's professional followers. But therein lies a problem. The Jungian form of treatment is both lengthy and costly, often far out of reach for most addicts. But can a person in 12-Step recovery experience in-depth transformation without benefit of a trained analyst - and can it aid in enriching their recovery journey? In this series, Fr. Bill explores an essay titled “The Aims and Goals of Jungian Analysis” as it appears in a book edited by Dr. Murray Stein. By substituting the word “RECOVERY” for “ANALYSIS” the outlines of a journey very similar to the one Jung pointed his patient toward comes into clearer view. At least that's the hope for this series!In this fourth and final episode Dr. Stein joins Fr. Bill to review the goal and aims of Jungian analysis while discussing how those in 12-Step recovery might best achieve similar outcomes. Show notes:Murray Stein Website: https://www.murraystein.com/wp/Jungian Analysis, edited by Murray Stein. The work contains 18 essays on specific aspects of Jungian analysis written by top Jungian analysts. It probably goes deeper than many might be prepared to venture but it's well worth the stretch. A later edition of Murray's book is titled The Practice of Jungian Analysis.

Sobriety didn't just save Colette Baron-Reid's life - it opened the door to the creative force behind 19 oracle decks, 8 books, and a whole new way of manifesting. If you've ever wondered how healing, intuition, and art can literally rewire your brain, this conversation will change the way you think about recovery and possibility.Colette joins Megan for a raw, expansive conversation about what it took to get sober, what it means to rebuild a life from the ground up, and why the path to manifestation is less about control and more about surrender. She shares the early experiences that shaped her, the hard-won lessons of recovery, and the spiritual awakening that began with a single quiet moment and a tree.You'll discover:Why creativity can act as a tool for building new neural pathwaysHow doodling, symbols, and elevated emotion connect to manifestationThe difference between chasing an outcome and becoming the person who can receive itWhy gratitude and surrender matter more than forcing certaintyHow recovery created the conditions for Colette's art, music, and intuitive work to emergeMegan and Colette also dig into the emotional reality of addiction, the “big ego and inferiority complex” Carl Jung observed in alcoholics, and why sobriety can reveal both the people and the patterns that are no longer for you. Their conversation goes deep into the difference between being dry and being truly sober, and why inner work, amends, and self-reflection are essential if you want a life that actually feels like yours.Colette Baron-Reid is the author of The Art of Manifesting, a longtime spiritual teacher, and an artist whose work bridges intuition, neuroscience, and creativity. Her new album, My Dark Church, is also part of that same fearless return to self.Essential listening if you're sober-curious, in recovery, or standing at the edge of your own next chapter and need proof that it is never too late to begin again.

An unpublished Dune Encyclopedia manuscript called Psychology of the Fremen never made it past Willis E. McNelly's editing desk, until now. Abu and Leo dig into what got cut, in part one of a two-episode dive into the Fullerton archives' unreleased psychology entries. Carl B. Yoke, a Kent State University professor, wrote it as one of five planned psychology profiles that also covered the Bene Gesserit, the Sardaukar, the Harkonnens, and the Imperium. Yoke's Fremen entry builds its case through an invented smuggler-poet, whose writings and observations of Fremen psychology survived in the Bene Gesserit archives on Wallach IX. From there, Abu and Leo trace a psychological system mapped almost entirely onto Carl Jung. This episode contains NO SPOILERS for the Dune novels.

El privilegio de toda una vida es convertirte en quien realmente eres… Carl Jung

Molly and Clarissa sit down for another Clinician's Corner to dig into shadow work — what Carl Jung meant by it, why it's not just a "woo-woo" concept, and why it belongs in food addiction recovery. They talk about the parts of ourselves we learn to hide (anger, desire, ambition, even joy), how those exiled parts often drive the very behaviors we're trying to recover from, and how projection, envy, and even compliments can point us straight to what we've buried. This episode previews the Shadow Work module inside Liberation, Sweet Sobriety's brand-new 10-module program launching this fall. WHAT WE COVER Why Molly built a shadow work module into Liberation, and how it connects to the Shame module covered in a previous episode Carl Jung's quote — "Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life, and you will call it fate" and what it means in practice The iceberg metaphor: the curated 10% we show the world vs. the 90% underneath driving our behavior Where the shadow comes from (genetics loads the gun, environment pulls the trigger) and why this isn't about blaming parents How substance use, food behaviors, and other compulsive patterns often exist to manage and suppress shadow parts Recovery work doesn't make the shadow disappear — and why it can get louder, becoming a high-risk time for return to use Projection: how "accusations are often confessions," and why the people who irritate us most can be mirrors The Golden Shadow — the positive traits (confidence, joy, ambition) we also learn to suppress or deny Why receiving compliments can feel unbearable, and what that has to do with shadow work Envy and jealousy reframed as information rather than something shameful Individuation and integration — Jung's idea that the goal isn't to eliminate these parts, but to become a whole person who can hold all of them How return to use fits into this: not a moral failure, but sometimes a shadow part that hasn't been integrated A personal moment on privilege, shame, and how rejecting a part of ourselves can limit our ability to help others What to expect from the Shadow Work module inside Liberation LIBERATION — SWEET SOBRIETY'S NEW PROGRAM Liberation is the next step after Foundations — a deeper 10-module program covering shadow work, shame, anger, guilt, the inner critic, ADHD and the nervous system, trauma, highly sensitive people, and more. You do not need to have completed Foundations first. Modules release the week of September 21. Live sessions begin October 15 at 1:00–2:30 PM Eastern.

A bridge doesn't erase the river. Two sides can remain distinct and still find a way to connect.Returning guest Jason duPont joins Jay Doran for Part 2 of a conversation that began with a deceptively difficult question: Does it show more love to advocate for struggle?After their first conversation, the question stayed with Jay. It challenged him enough to write, reflect, question his own assumptions, and reconsider what love actually means beyond affection, agreement, transaction, or even relationship. What follows is less an interview and more an open philosophical exploration between two friends willing to think out loud, disagree, reconsider, and allow the conversation itself to change them.Jason offers a definition that becomes foundational to the episode: Love is the voluntary recognition of another human being as having value independent of their usefulness to you. Jason reflects on growing up in an environment where what appeared to be love could often feel transactional. Those experiences forced him to reconsider what it means to care for another person without needing recognition, reciprocity, usefulness, or anything else in return.Jay approaches the question from another direction. What if love is not something we possess at all? What if love is the container that allows two different people, realities, experiences, and value systems to encounter one another without requiring either to disappear?From there, the conversation moves into struggle, environment, identity, sacrifice, forgiveness, disagreement, dignity, choice, leadership, responsibility, and the complicated relationship between character and culture. One of the most important distinctions emerges around disagreement: Understanding is not agreement. Empathy is not endorsement. And disagreement is not the opposite of love.Two people can see the world differently without becoming threats to one another. But when disagreement becomes contempt and another person is reduced to an obstacle, an idiot, an enemy, or something less than human, the relationship fundamentally changes. Love requires something more difficult. It requires the willingness to understand another person's reality without necessarily abandoning your own.As Jason eventually defines it: Love is the willingness to be changed by another person's reality without abandoning your own integrity.In this episode, Jay and Jason explore whether advocating for struggle is an act of love, why love cannot be reduced to transaction or usefulness, how childhood and environment shape our understanding of love, why understanding does not require agreement, why empathy is not endorsement, the danger of contempt and dehumanization, forgiveness and freedom, the relationship between struggle and growth, the difference between helping someone grow and projecting your own values onto them, why environment matters without becoming destiny, the intersection between character and culture, the importance of choice, and why relationships can transform both people rather than requiring one person to fix the other.Throughout the conversation, Jay and Jason repeatedly return to the tension between character and culture. Jason argues that circumstances do not have to become destiny. People can choose differently, overcome the environments that shaped them, and refuse to allow their history to dictate their future. Jay agrees while emphasizing that environment still matters. Culture can make growth easier or harder. It can expand choice or restrict it. It can create the conditions where relationships flourish or where people retreat into protection, contempt, and isolation.Those ideas are not mutually exclusive. Perhaps that is the point.Carl Jung wrote that when two personalities truly meet, both are transformed. Jay and Jason demonstrate that principle throughout this conversation. Neither enters simply trying to win. They question each other, challenge definitions, expose contradictions, refine their thinking, and leave the conversation differently than they entered it.Because a bridge does not ask either side of the river to disappear. A bridge doesn't erase the river. It simply makes it possible to cross.

What if an alien invasion didn't arrive in spaceships?What if it arrived as an idea?This week, Greg and Ash are joined by filmmaker Peter Stylianou, writer and director of the new UFO/sci-fi horror film THE NICE ONES.Inspired partly by the strange social psychology Peter observed during lockdown, THE NICE ONES explores what he describes as a kind of “mind virus” — people believing they are acting for the greater good while becoming increasingly incapable of seeing themselves reflected in the people they oppose.That idea eventually became something much darker:“Maybe the mind virus is the alien.”But the conversation takes an unexpected turn when Peter reveals an extraordinary personal experience.Years ago in Camden, Peter says he looked at a man he knew and noticed something deeply strange about his eyes.At first, Peter assumed he was wearing novelty contact lenses.Then the man blinked.And his eyes appeared completely normal.Peter doesn't claim to know what happened.He considers unusual lighting, perception, psychology and even the possibility that his own subconscious created an image to warn him about the person.But he also leaves open another possibility:What if he actually saw something?That experience became one of the inspirations behind THE NICE ONES.From there, the conversation moves deep into the territory Pursuit listeners know and love — UFOs and UAP, consciousness, interdimensional theories, Carl Jung, manifestation, poltergeist phenomena, astral travel, spiritual experiences and the question of whether some paranormal encounters might exist somewhere between an external phenomenon and the human mind.We also discuss the viral “that motherf***er is not real” plane incident and how the experience of suddenly becoming the focus of millions of people helped inspire the film's protagonist.And Peter takes us behind the camera to reveal how an independent filmmaker creates ambitious sci-fi on a micro-budget, why one enormous manor house became multiple locations, the realities of film distribution and why actually paying to watch independent films matters.Plus:The McPherson Tape.Paranormal Activity.Dogman.Project Blue Beam.Spiritual protection.Strange synchronicities.And why the things we cannot see may be far more frightening than the monsters we can.This one goes places.THE NICE ONES — coming soon.FOLLOW THE NICE ONESInstagram: @theniceonesfilmX: @TheNiceOneFilmFacebook: The Nice Ones 2026TikTok: @the.nice.ones10Website: redguerillafilms.com/theniceonesPursuit of the Paranormal is hosted by Greg & Ash, exploring UFOs/UAP, ghosts, consciousness, cryptids and the stranger edges of human experience.

¿Puedes cambiar tu realidad sin cambiar primero la persona que la está viviendo? Muchas veces queremos una vida distinta, pero seguimos reaccionando desde los mismos miedos, hábitos, creencias y patrones de siempre. En este episodio exploramos una pregunta incómoda: ¿Qué tiene que pasar para que una conducta nueva deje de sentirse como actuación y empiece a convertirse en identidad? Hablamos de por qué a veces “actuar como si” puede ayudarte a cambiar, por qué otras veces genera fricción interna, y qué puede haber detrás de eso que solemos llamar autosabotaje. También exploramos: por qué tus hábitos terminan influyendo en la forma en que te ves; por qué puedes querer cambiar y aun así volver a lo conocido; cómo la necesidad de coherencia puede mantener una identidad antigua; qué papel juegan la autoimagen, la pertenencia y el miedo al fracaso; la diferencia entre practicar una nueva forma de ser y construir una máscara; y hasta dónde llegan las ideas de William James, Alfred Adler, Maxwell Maltz, Carl Jung, Neville Goddard y Paramahansa Yogananda. No se trata de “pensar positivo” ni de fingir una vida que no existe. Se trata de entender algo más profundo: tu identidad influye en tus acciones, pero tus acciones también pueden empezar a modificar tu identidad. Y quizá ahí está una parte importante del cambio. Si quieres profundizar todavía más en este proceso y conocer el programa que recomiendo para trabajar transformación personal de forma estructurada, comenta: REVOLUCION y te envío el enlace.

En este episodio exploramos qué sabemos realmente sobre la relación entre mente, conciencia y realidad: desde percepción, placebo y profecías autocumplidas hasta experimentos sobre intención, las ideas de Carl Jung, William James, Yogananda, Neville Goddard, Donald Hoffman, Bernardo Kastrup y Vadim Zeland. Hay algo que la evidencia deja bastante claro: no experimentamos la realidad de manera completamente pasiva. Nuestra atención, expectativas, identidad y creencias participan en cómo percibimos, interpretamos y respondemos al mundo. Pero aparece una pregunta mucho más difícil: ¿Termina ahí nuestra participación… o la conciencia puede intervenir en la realidad de una forma todavía más profunda? En este contenido no buscamos una respuesta definitiva. Separamos lo que tiene respaldo científico, lo que pertenece a la filosofía y lo que todavía permanece en el terreno de las hipótesis. Porque quizá la pregunta no sea simplemente si creamos nuestra realidad. Quizá la pregunta realmente interesante sea: ¿Hasta dónde llega nuestra participación? Si quieres profundizar por tu cuenta, algunos conceptos mencionados en el episodio que puedes investigar son: • efecto placebo y nocebo • placebo de etiqueta abierta • profecía autocumplida • procesamiento predictivo de la percepción • PEAR — Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research • generadores de números aleatorios e intención humana • sincronicidad de Carl Jung • teoría de interfaz de Donald Hoffman • idealismo analítico de Bernardo Kastrup • imaginación en Neville Goddard • intención externa en Vadim Zeland • Maya y conciencia en Paramahansa Yogananda ¿Cuál es tu postura? ¿Crees que solamente interpretamos la realidad o que participamos en ella de una forma mucho más profunda?

Send us a text!Five years after first releasing our conversation with Existential Kink author Carolyn Elliott, we return to Episode 40 in memory of a guest whose warmth, wit, and ideas have stayed with us.We begin with a new introduction reflecting on the early days of Mormons on Mushrooms, the generosity Carolyn brought to this conversation, and how our relationship with shadow work has evolved. Mike questions the temptation to use the unconscious for egoic gains and wonders whether we can approach our patterns with more curiosity and less relentless digging. Doug explores his own attraction to secrecy.Then we revisit our original conversation with Carolyn about existential kink: the unconscious pleasure hidden inside rejection, scarcity, humiliation, frustration, and other experiences we consciously claim not to want. We explore the “good boy” conditioning of Mormonism, Doug's missionary rejection kink, Mike's encounter with the angry and instinctual parts beneath his Mormon niceness, and the difference between acknowledging a desire and acting it out.The conversation expands into psychedelics, religious repression, collective shadow, racism, good and evil, compassion, and what it might mean to love the parts of ourselves we would rather pretend do not exist.Carolyn was delightful, provocative, generous, and completely herself. We're grateful we had the chance to speak with her—and deeply sad that we never got to take her up on that invitation to trip together.Topics include:Remembering Carolyn ElliottExistential kink and Jungian shadow workThe unconscious pleasure inside recurring patternsMormon repression and “good boy” conditioningRejection, secrecy, confession, and shameWhen shadow work becomes another form of self-punishmentCuriosity versus endlessly digging for woundsPsychedelics and plant medicineCollective shadow, racism, and inherited patternsHolding compassion for the parts of ourselves that frighten usNote: The original interview is presented as it was recorded. References to Carolyn's programs, contact information, and upcoming events reflect the time of the original publication.Content note: This episode contains a brief disclosure of childhood sexual abuse, along with discussion of psychedelics, addiction, sexual themes, and strong language.Want more?

Carl Jung's Active Imagination: Talk to Your Shadow Self and End Self-Sabotage Discover Carl Jung's active imagination—a powerful self-improvement mindset technique for remarkable success: how to dialogue with your shadow self and dismantle unconscious self-sabotage. Tracy breaks down Jung's Black Books method as a direct negotiation with shame, doubt, and rage, transforming these hidden patterns into authentic success habits. Learn the neuroscience-backed inner dialogue framework entrepreneurs use to rewire imposter syndrome and activate real, sustainable achievement—no therapy required. https://YourSuccessDNA.com Sponsor - https://DarkHorseEntreprenuer.com Tracy explains Carl Jung's “active imagination” as a direct method for confronting the unconscious and negotiating with the shadow self through literal inner dialogue, developed during Jung's intense period after splitting with Freud (1913–1918) and recorded in his Black Books and later the Red Book. It reframes shame, doubt, rage, and sabotage as protective survival mechanisms and outlines Jung's inner map of characters (persona, shadow, anima/animus, and the Self). The host describes a simple but challenging protocol—set an intention, wait for an image or figure to appear, speak to it, and listen without controlling—illustrated by cases like a business “wolf,” a greedy shadow, and a screaming painted woman that transform through conversation. The episode emphasizes integrity, responsibility, and a practical prompt: complete the sentence, “The part of me that sabotages me is trying to protect me from…,” and invites listeners to a newsletter for deeper work. 00:00 Meet Active Imagination 01:15 Jung's Dark Night 03:02 Shadow Self Explained 04:23 How The Technique Works 06:01 The Wolf Story 08:28 Shadow Integration Pivot 09:53 Jung's Three Layers 12:06 Why It Stays Rare 13:42 Results And Responsibility 16:15 Whiskered Wisdom 18:11 One Sentence Exercise 19:03 Final Recap And Sendoff Carl Jung, active imagination, Jungian methods, Shadow self integration, Shadow work, shadow self, personal development, Self-sabotage, psychology, Jungian psychology, individuation, anima, animus, the Red Book, self sabotage, Overcoming self sabotage, entrepreneur mindset, success mindset, business tips, self help, Manifestation, growth mindset, self improvement mindset, peak productivity, growth mindset, self improvement, personal development, success habits, startup grind, habit mastery, mindset hack, productivity tips, achieving success habits, authentic success habits, entrepreneurial self care, entrepreneurial success habits, habits for success, habits improvement, mindset habits, mindset success, productivity improvement, self improvement habits, self improvement mindset, success mindset habits, remarkable success, self-improvement mindset, authentic success habits, mindset success, self improvement habits Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

You know that feeling when you try so hard to seem normal that you become a weirdo? Self-improvement works the exact same way. The more you chase happiness, the further it runs. The more validation you seek, the emptier you feel. This episode breaks down 7 painful paradoxes when we take on personal growth — psychological traps where trying harder makes things worse. We dig into King George VI's stutter, Carl Jung's shadow work, and why Steve Jobs getting fired was the best thing that happened to him. You'll learn why over-planning destroys resilience, why self-help books can quietly wreck your confidence, and why real change happens slower, yet more easily, than you think. Takeaways: Stop directly chasing happiness. Let it arrive as a byproduct of living with purpose. Build self-worth internally. External validation is a leaky bucket you can never fill. Accept your flaws before fixing them. Rejection breeds resistance, not change. CTA: Press play and learn why the hardest part of growth is knowing when to stop trying so hard.

Years before AA existed, Carl Jung, the famous Swiss psychiatrist, sent his patient Rowland H. in search of a spiritual solution for his alcoholism. Since then, millions of us have followed in his footsteps. Bill Wilson corresponded with Jung thanking him for his contribution to AA and many in the fellowship, including Wilson himself, benefitted from the “depth” or “analytical” psychology practiced by Jung's professional followers. But therein lies a problem.The Jungian form of treatment is both lengthy and costly, often far out of reach for most addicts. But can “DEPTH RECOVERY,” to coin a phrase, be experienced without benefit of a trained analyst and can it aid in enriching a recovery journey?In this series, Fr. Bill explores an essay titled “The Aims and Goals of Jungian Analysis” as it appears in a book edited by Murray Stein. By substituting the word “RECOVERY” for “ANALYSIS” the outlines of a journey very similar to the one Jung pointed his patient toward comes into clearer view. At least that's the hope for this series!In this second episode, Stein outlines the four stages of psychic change expected over the course of analysis. They closely parallel the road we travel in deep 12-Step recovery.Murray Stein, the book's editor and the author of the essay under discussion will join Fr. Bill for the final episode in this series.Show notes:·      Jungian Analysis, edited by Murray Stein. The work contains 18 essays on specific aspects of Jungian analysis written by top Jungian analysts. It probably goes deeper than many might be prepared to venture but it's well worth the stretch.

Is it intuition or a trauma response? Former US intelligence analyst Erin Gunzelman has spent six years testing that question on herself — trusting her body 100% of the time and treating reality as a mirror — and shares what happened when she stopped ignoring the signs.Erin grew up on Maryland's Eastern Shore, built pattern-recognition software in the intelligence community, and walked away when chronic pain — what Western medicine calls endometriosis — forced her to listen to her body. A yoga teacher training in 2018 opened the door; a divorce and the shutdowns of 2020 emptied everything else out. With nothing left to lose, she packed her car and began the experiment she now shares as the Mirror Method: following the winks, recording hundreds of dreams ("what if Carl Jung had AI?"), and learning blindfold vision — perceiving color without using her eyes. Michael tried it himself a few hours before this recording, and he's still integrating.Together they unpack the nervous system as a portal rather than a problem to fix, why sitting in muddy water beats stirring it, ego death and the capital-T truth question, the terror of real freedom, plant medicine and outsourcing your power, and how letting go of control opens possibilities you can't yet see.Episode Chapters:00:00:00 Introduction00:01:32 From intelligence analyst to mystic00:04:01 When the body forces an exit: illness and finding yoga00:07:12 Dream journaling — what if Carl Jung had AI?00:11:39 Is it intuition or a trauma response?00:13:43 Muddy water: staying with reality instead of regulating it away00:17:15 Is there a capital-T truth?

The thing you once wanted became the thing you have to do — and the moment it did, it stopped being fun.Psychotherapist and Jungian analyst Gary Trosclair calls this the Should Effect: the quiet process by which genuine desire hardens into rigid obligation. You start with a choice, and end up with a commandment — enforced by an internal "hit man" of humorless self-discipline that was supposed to help you, but now runs your life.Drawing on three decades of practice, this episode explores how driven, perfectionistic people lose the very thing that motivated them:

What does it mean to live faithfully in an unfinished universe - one in which creation is still evolving and Christ is still drawing all things toward communion?In today's episode, Matt sits down with Dr. Ilia Delio, Franciscan sister, theologian, Josephine C. Connelly Endowed Chair in Theology at Villanova University, founder of the Center for Christogenesis, and author of more than twenty books, including "The Christian Mutation".Drawing from the work of Bonaventure, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Carl Jung, and modern physics, Dr. Delio explores what Christianity might look like if we took evolution, science, and the deeply relational nature of the universe seriously.Together, Matt and Dr. Delio discuss moving from original sin toward original love, why relationship may be at the very foundation of reality, and what it means to understand sin as a resistance to relationship. They also explore the decline of institutional religion, the questions younger generations are asking, artificial intelligence, the problem of evil, and whether Christianity itself must continue to evolve.At the center of the conversation is a provocative possibility: What if love isn't simply something we feel or something Christianity teaches, but something woven into the very fabric of existence? And if the universe is still becoming, what would it mean for the church to become with it?In this episode:- Teilhard de Chardin and the relationship between science and faith- Bonaventure, Thomas Aquinas, and two ways of understanding Christianity- Original sin versus original love- Physics, interconnectedness, and the relational nature of reality- Sin as a resistance to relationship- Why younger generations are leaving institutional religion- Whether Christianity is answering questions people are no longer asking- Artificial intelligence and the future of humanity- Love, evil, and human transformation- What the church might become if it took evolution seriously- Whether love can endure even if the universe itself eventually diesLearn more about Dr. Ilia Delio: https://wisrinstitute.org/about/ilia-delio/

Have you ever felt ashamed of a thought you'd never say out loud? In this episode of DarrenDaily On-Demand, Darren Hardy introduces a psychological concept discovered by Carl Jung that explains why even the most admired figures in history wrestled with dark, hidden impulses they never fully escaped. He shares surprising confessions from Mother Teresa and other revered leaders, then tells a parable about a gatekeeper who learns the hard way that being seen accurately isn't the same as being judged fairly. Darren breaks down what actually matters when your inner thoughts don't match the person you want to be, and why chasing the elimination of your darker side is the wrong goal entirely.

She's also the author of Save the Cat! Writes a Novel and other books and courses for writers at the Writing Mastery Academy. Her latest book is Page One to Done: Finish Your Novel in 30 Days with the Fast Drafting Method. So welcome to the show, Jessica. Jessica: Hi, thank you so much for having me. I'm so honoured to be here. My writing community speaks so highly of this podcast, so I'm excited. Jo: Oh, well, thank you, and you were requested, so this is going to be a good one. First up— Tell us a bit more about you and how you got into writing and publishing. Jessica: Well, I started writing when I was seven. I like to put in air quotes, I wrote my first, quote, “novel” when I was seven. It was about three pages long. I got the bug very early. I didn't realise it was an actual career choice that you could take seriously until way later in life, after I'd already graduated college with a degree in economics and I was working as a financial analyst, and I was just writing on the side for fun. Then, as luck would have it, I got laid off from my job, and I ended up trying to take writing a little bit more seriously in that time. That's when I found the Save the Cat method, which absolutely changed everything for me. Before that, I had loads of rejection letters, and I eventually sold my first novel to St. Martin's Press, and I've been writing and publishing ever since. That was 20 years ago now. Jo: 20 years, wow. It's so interesting. So you were in economics, you were a financial analyst, and you got into writing. Did you have any pushback from either your own brain that was like, “I cannot make money this way,” or your family? Or how did you make that leap? Because we just hear that it's not a career, financially, really. Jessica: I know, and I think I went into it very blindly, using television as my resource of this is how much money I can make writing. Like Sex and the City, she was selling books for lots of money. So I was like, oh, I just have to sell one book, and then I'll be set. That was not the case. My first advance was so much lower than I expected, and what happened, though, was kind of interesting. I sold my first book, way lower advance than I was hoping for. I wasn't making any money anywhere else, so I was taking on all these odd jobs that I could do in my own time. I was doing transcription work, and I was working at a school half the time. I mean, I just had so many really weird jobs. I think what happened was, because I didn't have another financial net to help me, it just pushed me really hard. So once I sold one book, I was like, well, I need to sell another one and another one, and I ended up in this 20-year cycle, which I've slowed down thankfully, since, but of writing so obsessively, I should say. I just kept selling books and selling books. My advances got higher and higher, and eventually I was able to support myself with my writing, but it was not instant at all. Jo: Actually, that's a really good note there, because we often hear so much of these debuts that get paid a ton of money, and then they disappear, and they almost spiral down. Whereas what you've done is spiral up. Which is almost a better way to do it perhaps, with your reputation with traditional publishing. Jessica: It's funny, I tell this story a lot to writers who are looking to get published, that the big advance is not necessarily the end-all be-all. Because I have heard that story before, someone gets a very big advance, and then it doesn't earn out, and they can't sell another book because the publisher's lost money. I had the opposite experience. My advance was so low, and my publisher got worldwide rights. They bought worldwide rights. So they started selling foreign rights of my first book really early on, and I earned out before the book even came out, with just a few foreign sales. That ended up setting me up for success, because I was making money for the publisher from day one, and I was able to sell more books, and so I sort of worked my way up. I really do credit a lot of that to how long I've been able to stay in this game. Jo: No, it's a good way of thinking about it, because people forget the publisher isn't a charity. The publisher has to make money from your book. So it's nice that you make money, but they have to make money, or they're not going to bother, right? Jessica: Yes, exactly. Jo: So let's come back to Save the Cat, because you mentioned that the original method really changed how you write, and then of course you did Save the Cat! Writes a Novel. So I've got that. I imagine a lot of people listening have got that. Tell us a bit about why that methodology made such a difference to you, and why you think it's so useful. Jessica: Well, you'll sense a theme here. I went into this business, like I said, without knowing a lot, and I went into it the way I think a lot of writers do, which is, I had an idea, I sat down, and I tried to write it. I had no guidance, no map, no structure, and I just wrote. I actually finished something, which is surprising, but then I started to get all these rejection letters that basically said similar things, which was, “You're a good writer, you have a good voice, but there's no story here.” I just didn't understand that feedback, because I had finished something. I could print it out and stack it on my desk. Wasn't that a story? Apparently it was not. Then a screenwriter friend of mine that I was talking to about how I was getting all of these rejection letters with the same note said, “You should read this book that recently came out. It's called Save the Cat, and it's for screenwriters, but I think it could work for novels because it just seems to be all about structure and storytelling.” So I read the book cover to cover so quickly, because if anyone's read the original, it's just so readable, and everything started clicking in my mind. I realised, wow, I really don't know how to tell a story. I could plot out everything I had done wrong, and I went back to my book and I started rewriting it from page one with this new structure in mind. When I finished that, I ended up getting an agent for that book, and the agent sold that book. I've been using the method ever since. It just made so much sense to my brain. What I tell writers is, “Use the method that makes sense to your brain.” All storytelling structure methods are basically telling the same story, just with different words, sliced and diced a little bit differently, but structure is structure, and a story is a story. It has to have a beginning, middle, and end. It has to have conflict, it has to have a middle twist, and things like that. So this one worked for my brain, and I started to teach it to other novelists, because at the time there was still just the screenwriting guide. So I started to teach how I was using it to other novelists, and that turned into the book, Save the Cat! Writes a Novel. Then I wrote a young adult version of it as well. And I still use it to this day. It's just something that's always made sense to me. Jo: So were you hired by the estate? Blake Snyder died, right? So were you hired to write that, or is that something you arranged? Jessica: It was kind of something that was arranged. I think Blake Snyder Enterprises is the name of the company. Blake Snyder died in 2009, sadly. When I started using the method, I was blogging about it on my blog, and I would share some of my beat sheets of the novels I was writing. The people who had taken over his estate reached out to me and said, “Hey, can you blog for us? Because we don't have a lot of novel content on our blog. We just do screenplay stuff.” And I said, “Of course.” I had a fangirl moment. Oh my gosh, they've reached out to me and this is so exciting. So I started blogging for them, and then that turned into the workshops that I started doing with them. Then we partnered up on the book. I think it was one of those things that felt inevitable, like we were just working toward it. I was living in LA at the time. They're based in LA. And I remember having breakfast with them, and we all just looked at each other and said, “So we need to write a book, right? There has to be a book.” So we ended up sharing the copyright, and, as you see from the title, it says based on the books by Blake Snyder. It's very much his method. Then I brought some of my novel flair and some of my own little tips and tricks that I had picked up over the years and applied it to his method. Jo: I love that. We are going to come to your other book for writers in a minute, but just on that intellectual property sharing, writing in other markets, you also write for Disney Publishing. This is so fascinating to me. Now, there are lots of people who do write for other properties. So how did that come about writing for other properties, and how does that fit into your portfolio of the things that you do? Jessica: Yes, writing for other properties is really fun. It's probably not for everyone. You have to know what you're getting into before you pursue it, because it's very much not your IP. You're writing under someone else's brand, you're in their canon, and there are certain rules you have to follow. So you have guidelines. I found it to be really fun and kind of a break from some of my own stuff, because I didn't have to come up with everything. I didn't have to invent all the new worlds and all the new characters. A lot of them were just given to me, and I could play within the boundaries of that sandbox, and I really found that inspiring. So what happened actually is I was on a writing retreat with a bunch of other writers, and there was a writer at the retreat who already wrote for Disney Press and was supposed to write this new series for them, based on their Descendants series. She said to me, “I really can't do it, but I'd love to recommend someone else to them.” I think we had been talking about how big of a fan I was of Disney or something, and she said, “Do you want me to recommend you?” And I said, “Yes, absolutely.” Another big fangirl moment. So the editor of that series reached out to my agent. They talked to me. They got writing samples from me through my agent, and then before I knew it, I was hired to write, I think the first contract was maybe for two or three of the books, and then we renewed for a few more. It was just really fun. Then I formed a relationship with that editor. We ended up working on another series for younger kids, based on the Disney Princess LEGO series, which was much younger and new for me. It had illustrations. That was a whole new challenge, but I found it really fun. As I said, it was a nice break from writing my own things, because I could write them fairly quickly. They did have very fast turnarounds at the publisher too, but I could use my skills for structure and storytelling and apply it to a world that already existed, and it was a nice pairing. Jo: I love this. So much of what you've done seems to have come from relationships or just putting yourself out there in the world. Jessica: Yes, good observation. I hadn't thought of that. Jo: Whereas I think a lot of people think that it's all about cold pitching. It's not so much, from what you're saying. Jessica: Yes, and I did another IP project with Simon & Schuster called Boys of Summer, which was a young adult novel. That one specifically came from my agent. So a lot of times publishers will reach out to agents and say, “Here's what we're doing. Do you have authors who would fit?” And my agent will often reach out to me and say, “Here's the pitch I got from a publisher. Are you interested in submitting yourself for this?” That's what happened with Boys of Summer. They actually sent out an outline to a bunch of writers who were interested, and I had to write sample chapters to the outline, or I think it was the first couple of chapters or something. I was very gratefully selected to write it. That came about from having an agent, and a lot of times having an agent is a way into IP work. And then those connections can help too. Jo: Fascinating. Right. Well, let's get into your book Page One to Done, which as I said, one of my listeners actually requested to have you on the show to talk about this book, because she said it was absolutely fantastic and helped her finish her book. So why finishing? What is the problem? Why write a book on actually finishing? What are some of the common issues that people have? Jessica: Well, thank you to that listener. I really appreciate it, and here I am because of you. Connections once again. So Page One to Done came out of my own struggle with finishing, and not just finishing, but finishing efficiently and maintaining joy throughout the process of writing a novel. As I said, I was writing very fast and furiously, and my deadlines were piling up, and I started to feel like writing a novel stopped being fun. It started to become a very frustrating process, and I realised that was a lot about how I was approaching the first draft, which, as most writers know, the first draft is very hard. When I started to look further into it, I found this statistic online that's widely accepted in the writing community, which is that 97% of first drafts are not finished. Which is, wow, mind-blowing, but also not that hard to believe once you think about the challenges of writing a first draft. Taking an idea from a seed, developing it into a full plot with character development and arcs and subplots and side characters and themes and all the things that you think a story should have, getting that all onto the page and actually reaching the end. It's very, very difficult, and I never lie about how difficult it is. So I was struggling to finish things quickly, to enjoy the process, and I noticed that other writers were too. I felt like, well, I have this plotting guide that I love, this structure guide, Save the Cat! Shouldn't this be easier once I have an outline? And it wasn't. And that, I think, is because we forget that there's another part of the process. It's not just about developing a compelling character. It's not just about having a well-paced plot. You have to be able to get ideas out of your head and onto the page in a way that doesn't make you want to quit. I think one of the problems with the first draft is most of us write something down, it does not match what's in our head, and we start to get more and more frustrated. The process becomes overwhelming. We're holding too much of the story in our head. We're going back to page one to revise with every new idea we have, so it starts to slow down. The farther we get into the book, the longer that back to page one process takes, and things start to spiral out of control. I think that's essentially what happens to this 97% of first drafts. The writer quits because it's not good enough. It doesn't match what's in their mind, and there's too much to hold, and it starts to become overwhelming. So this is what was happening to me. Even though I was finishing things, the process was still very overwhelming, and I started to experiment with different things. Different mindset shifts that I could make, different ways I could change my writing routine to really enhance the process, to get into flow faster, to stay in flow for longer, things like that. It took me about five years, and I developed this collection of mindset shifts and strategies and routines that I could not only apply to myself, but I turned it into a system that was repeatable, and I started teaching it in my Writing Mastery Academy. I called it the Fast Drafting method, and it's all about letting go of this idea that our first draft has to be perfect or even that good, and just focusing on getting ideas down as quickly as possible, even if that creates a big mess. It's this freeing process of doing that in a way that we don't get in our own way. So I started teaching it to other writers. People were finishing things who had never finished things before. Writers who had taken two years to write a first draft were writing first drafts in weeks. The biggest comment I was getting was, “This is so freeing. This is so liberating. This is so fun.” And it gave people the motivation that they needed to actually sit down and revise the book. Before, either they never finished, so they never got to the revision process, or they were so overwhelmed and bogged down by the two years it took for them to write one draft, they didn't have the energy to revise and get it to the next level. So anyway, all of this is to say it was working for me, it was working for other writers. I turned it into a book called Page One to Done, and it's my three-phase process, mindset, preparation, and drafting, which I equate to running a marathon. You wouldn't run a marathon without proper training and proper nutrition and the right mindset, just like you wouldn't write a novel without the right mindset, the right preparation, and the right skills you need to get to the end. Jo: That's fantastic. You mentioned training there and some of the routine changes. So I hear new writers say, “Oh, I can't write unless I maybe have two hours or three hours to write down stuff, and I never have three hours at a time, so I never have time to write.” I hear that a lot. So what would you say to those people? What is a routine and a mindset shift that might help those people? Jessica: That's great, and I hear that all the time too. I interviewed a handful of authors for this book who had gone through the fast drafting method with me, and I would say the majority of them wrote for 30 minutes to one hour a day and were able to finish their books in a matter of weeks to maybe two months. That's because what I teach in the book is not about the amount of time you have. It's about how you use that time. When you really structure your day and your writing time with intentionality, you do whatever you can to block out distractions, get into flow, stay in flow. I'll give you one amazing tip that basically solves all of these things in a second. But when you really bring intentionality to those 30 minutes, you can write more in 30 minutes than you can in three hours without bringing these kinds of intentional choices. So that's one of the things I teach. You don't need more time. You actually just need to approach the time you have with the right mindsets and the right intentions. So one of the biggest shifts I tell people is just don't write and revise at the same time. For one, it pulls your brain in two different directions and creates the requirement of context switching, because essentially drafting and revising are two different jobs. Drafting is getting ideas out of your head and onto the page. Revising is polishing those ideas. They require very different headspaces and very different skills. So when we try to do both of them at once, we're pulled in two different directions. We're essentially trying to polish something we haven't even figured out yet, so we're polishing in the dark, if you will. It causes our brain to snap back and forth so many times. The term context switching is very big in the zeitgeist today, and that's because it's eating up our brain capacity. So if you spend 30 minutes just getting ideas down without judging them as they're coming out, without trying to revise them as they're coming out, you will get a lot of words down. A lot of that has to do with just what do you expect out of those 30 minutes? If you expect to write a chapter of absolutely brilliant polished prose, you're probably not going to do it, and you're going to feel like you wasted three hours. Then the next time you have three hours, you're like, “Well, no, I'm not going to do that. It's too frustrating, and I don't have three hours to begin with.” But if you sit down with the idea of, “I'm going to get all my ideas down. I'm going to just enjoy this process and live in my story for these 30 minutes,” you will be amazed at how much will come out onto the page. And you can absolutely finish a book that way. So intentionality is how you set up your workspace. Making sure that your phone is on do not disturb, making sure there are no pop-ups on your screen, making sure there are not even windows open behind your document. Every time your mind thinks about something else, you have to bring it back, and that eats brain power. So it's things like that. I have a whole chapter on how to set up a writing routine. One of the biggest tips I give people is to do what I call a pre-writing ritual. This is based in neuroscience, and there are all of these studies that back this up, that our brain does something where it associates an activity with another activity. So let's say right before we sit down to write, every time we do that, we do 10 jumping jacks, just as an example. But we only do 10 jumping jacks before we write. We don't do 10 jumping jacks before we sit down to do our taxes or answer emails. It's just before we write. Your brain starts to create this associative link with jumping jacks and writing. These are ways that we can prime our brain to get into the writing mode, and after doing that a handful of times, you do your jumping jacks, and your brain is literally already in your story before you sit down. It starts to soften that resistance that happens when we think, “Oh, I have to go write now,” or, “I've got to go write a certain amount of words,” or, “I have to work with my story.” It softens that, where it just becomes, “Oh, this is what I'm doing now.” Setting up these pre-writing rituals, which could include jumping jacks, could include something else, a lot of examples we can explore if you want, creates that associative link and allows us to get into the writing zone even faster. So by the time we sit down, we're already primed to go. We're not wasting a lot of that time going, “Oh, should I do it now? Should I do it later? I've got to open my document. Oh, my coffee's a little low.” All the things that we do to delay writing. They start to fall away. Jo: Yes, I mean, I always tell people, you and I turned up on time. We arranged this. We respect each other. We turn up, and we're doing this within a time slot. So I always say to people, “Look, make a calendar entry for your writing,” and do you respect your writing enough to turn up on time and do the work? We had a few minutes of saying hi or whatever, and then we got on with our work, which was this interview. So if you've arranged to start writing for that half an hour, then it is work still, right? You need to turn up and honour that. Jessica: Yes, and actually I have the same tip in the book. I say put it on your calendar, block it off. For the reasons you said, it creates in your brain the idea that this is a serious thing. It's not just a, “Oh, I'll get to it when I get to it,” like folding the laundry. It's like, no, this is what I've decided to do, I'm serious about it, I respect it. Just like any other appointment that you would respect, like lunch with a friend or an important business meeting, you show up for it. You don't go, “I think I'll show up to that business meeting in a few hours when I feel like it.” Also it keeps the routine consistent, because one of the tips I give is to always write at the same time every day if you can, because again, that associative link created in your brain, that habitual routine. So if you put it in your calendar for the days that you're going to write, you won't schedule over it by accident, which is just another logistical thing. I say something similar to what you just said, Joanna, in the book, which is basically, if you booked a massage for an hour, you would stay for the hour, right? Because you paid for this massage. Jo: Hell yes. Jessica: It's important to you. You're not going to get up in the middle and start texting your friends. You want your massage. If you treat your writing like any other thing that's important to you and show up for it consistently, it will show up for you, too. Jo: Yes, and I think the other misconception is that, okay, so that person has made it, and they're at the desk. I listen to rain and thunderstorms in my headphones. That's kind of, I guess, my routine. But that doesn't mean that I can just stream something wonderful. You talked about separating the writing and the editing, but sometimes it really is pretty basic, right? Morgan walked into the room. That will often be my thing, and then I'll be like, “Okay, well, why?” And what was the room like? Or was it even a room? So sometimes you just have to start writing something rather than wait for a perfect sentence. Jessica: Oh, yes, absolutely. Waiting for the perfect sentence, you'll be waiting for a long time. I say waiting for inspiration, you'll be waiting for a long time. My joke is, if I waited to write only when I felt inspired, I'd finish a book about every 20 years, if that. I think that's very important, and I teach a lot of tips and tricks in the book on how to get past that resistance, because of course, we don't want to just sit down and write something that we don't like. We don't want to just write down, “Oh, she stared at her computer for 10 minutes.” But sometimes we have to write that down to get to the next sentence or the next plot point or whatever barrier is in our mind. So one tip I'll tell people is put things you don't like in brackets, the square brackets. It's a really simple tip, and it's one of the tips I share in the book. Just put it in brackets and move on. What the brackets do, at least for people who use it, is it's like scaffolding. It's a reminder to your brain, this isn't permanent. This isn't going to stay. I'm going to come back to this later and fix it once I figure out what the story is and what she's actually doing in the room at this moment. For now, it's there. It's on the page. I can move past it. For me at least, the brackets are just this really nice reminder of the scaffolding. Nope, nope, nope, not perfect, not permanent, moving on. Then you can come back later and flesh it all out. I share a lot of anecdotes from my 20 years of writing novels, and one that I particularly like is I was working on a novel, and I had this scene that was just so awful, where all of my characters were sitting in a room. I had no idea what room it was or what it looked like, and they were talking about their feelings. It was just so awful and boring, but I had to get through this scene because I had to establish certain things that came later. I was complaining and complaining about this scene. I was on a writing retreat at the time, and my writer friends were like, “Let's just do a writing sprint, and we'll all write really fast, and we'll all get through our bad scenes, and we'll move on.” So I did that. I moved past the boring scene. It was still boring all the way to the end, but here's the thing, I couldn't figure out what happened in that scene until I'd figured out the whole story. So I wrote the bad version, and then in the next draft I came back and I was like, “Oh, this scene should take place on this bridge that I wrote in the finale that I didn't even know I needed, and it's this very symbolic bridge, and they can be standing on the bridge, and then they should be talking about this because that's going to pay off in the third act,” and I hadn't even thought of that yet. So all the things were coming together, but I could never have come up with that at the time. If I had just sat there and tried and tried, I probably would have gotten stuck at that scene and quit. So I had to just write the bad version, move past it, and come back later. Jo: Yes, and I think maybe because you're famous for structure, people think that maybe you wouldn't have to do that, because you already came up with that in the plotting. It sounds like you're also putting in those elements and foreshadowing and deepening things in the edit. So that's quite comforting for me as a discovery writer, because I end up doing so much more of that kind of thing in the edits. Jessica: Well, something I like to say is that we're all discovery writers, just different degrees. Because the writing process, no matter how much you plot in advance, is always going to be a discovery process. There are always going to be things you didn't think of. There's always going to be a way to tie things together that you never could have thought of before you started writing. So much of the story evolves and gets processed on the page and in your mind as it's coming out onto the page, and it's delusional to think you can think of all that before you start engaging with the characters. You can come close. I've known writers who have come very close, but almost all writers will discover something that they didn't know in the outline. I would argue that that's actually the fun part of writing. It's not the days when writing goes exactly to plan. They're nice, but they're not necessarily the fun parts. The fun parts are when you sit down to write the scene you thought was going to be the scene, and suddenly this new detail appears, and you go, “Oh my gosh, this totally unlocks everything, and I never even thought of it.” It could be in a text message. It could be on a billboard. It could be something the character just blurts out that you weren't expecting, and suddenly your whole story comes together in that moment, or maybe just the scene comes together. It's those moments, I think, that we write for. So even just expecting the book to come out exactly as you plotted is one of those mindset shifts. If you shift it and think, “This is really fun. I get to discover new things about my story that I wasn't expecting,” that, again, just makes the process a little more fun. So instead of, “Oh, this isn't what I thought it was going to be,” or, “This isn't what I outlined,” which is focusing on what's wrong with the book, it becomes, “Oh, wow, this is teaching me something I never expected about my story, and that's pretty cool.” Jo: Yes, I think that moment, Carl Jung called it, I guess, synchronicity, the moment when these things come together and it feels just incredible, that's the moment we all look for. It does seem to happen on every book. Everything clicks into place, and I look forward to that moment with every book. I did want to ask you about a novel that you have coming out soon as we record this, called How to Write a Murder. Now, this is a new genre for you, and it's quite meta because it's about writers as well. So talk about writing a brand new genre now at this point in your career. What are the challenges of trying to reach a new audience? Why do this book now? Jessica: Wow, great question. I love challenging myself to do something new. I wrote contemporary for many years and then thought, “I'm going to try a sci-fi.” Or, “I'm going to try middle grade now.” I think I go where the story wants, where I'm inspired to go when it comes to story ideas. However, with mystery, it's been one of those things that's always been on the back of my mind, like a wish list, a bucket list. I want to write a murder mystery. I just never had the right idea. Or I never had the time, or I never had the space. Then I finished my last novel contract, and I took a break, because I had been writing on deadlines for years. I took a very, very much needed break from deadlines. For the first time in I think 15 years, I did not have a book deadline. I just asked myself, “Jessica, what do you want to write?” As opposed to, what's the next book that's due? And the answer was very clear. I want to write that murder mystery. I toyed with a few ideas, and then I started to think about, okay, so I wrote this book on plot that a lot of people know and use. What if someone used that book to plot a literal murder? What would that look like? This meta explosion came to mind, which is that I wanted to write a murder mystery that's structured like a plotting guide for murder mysteries. The characters in the book are all writers who are familiar with this plotting guide, and the events of the story are unfolding like the plot of a murder mystery according to this book. You have no idea which one of them is actually using the book to plot the murder, because they all know the book. So one of the taglines is, “One dead body, seven mystery writers, and they all know how to get away with murder.” It was sort of my culmination of everything I'd done in my career. All the plotting workshops I'd taught, all the revision courses I'd taught, and of course this plotting structure method I'd been teaching for years, and I put it into this book. It's a fictional version of Save the Cat! It's called The Bestseller Formula. The premise of this book is that someone is using a murder mystery plotting guide to plot a literal murder. So the reader is learning how to write a murder as they're reading about the murder on the page. Jo: I love it. I know lots of people are going to want that. It does bring the business side of things into more difficulty, because of course you have readers, like you mentioned middle grade, you've got YA books, and obviously, I guess, the writers that you teach will be interested. How is this going to work for your book marketing and your business? Because it also sounds like this might be a standalone. Jessica: It is a standalone as of now. I have some sequel ideas, but we're not pursuing them yet. It is a different market for me, for sure, and that's become a challenge as I'm marketing, because I'm not in the thriller mystery space yet. I haven't written a novel for adults since the very, very beginning of my career. I've been mostly writing for teens and middle grade. The good news is most of my teen readers are now adults, because it's been so long since I wrote for teens. So there's that. I think the book will appeal to mystery readers just because it's a fun mystery, and there's a fun meta element to it. I think it's going to appeal to writers as well. So I'm very much leaning on that, at least for the launch. I hope my writer community will get behind this book, because it's very much an ode to storytelling. It's an ode to writers. I dedicated it to writers. As a writer, you will understand this book on a level that a reader never will. You will get so many of the little inside jokes that a reader might just skim past. So I did very much write it for writers, with the hope that readers will also enjoy it. I had the most fun writing it I've had, I think, of writing any book. Partly I think that was because I wasn't writing it under deadline. I was just writing it for me, but also just because it felt like the book I'd been destined to write for so long. Jo: Fantastic. So we're out of time. So where can people find you and your books and everything you do online? Jessica: How is that possible? I feel like we just started. JessicaBrody.com is the best place to find everything. If you're interested in my writing courses, you can check out WritingMastery.com as well. Jo: Well, thanks so much for your time, Jessica. That was brilliant. Jessica: Thank you, Joanna. I had so much fun.The post From Page One To Done: Fast Drafting Your Novel With Jessica Brody first appeared on The Creative Penn.

Thomas Edison, the man who quite literally lit up the world, spent the last years of his life trying to build a telephone that could call the dead. Not a séance, or ouija board. An actual machine with wires, valves, probably a few odd little pulleys and gears, sitting on a bench in his lab pointed straight at the afterlife.And he's honestly not even the strange one in tonight's episode.. Tonight, five men who wrote the rulebook for how modern science is supposed to work. The ones with their names carved into buildings all over the country. Every one of them went on the record saying he'd seen something no scientist is allowed to believe. Seems like maybe the people who wrote the rules turned out to be the ones who'd later go on to break them. Let's get into it.Did these men truly experience the supernatural splendor of the other side? Or were they bamboozled by the crafty ways and parlor tricks of spiritualist con artists?

Years before AA existed, Carl Jung, the famous Swiss psychiatrist, sent his patient Rowland H. in search of a spiritual solution for his alcoholism. Since then, millions of us have followed in his footsteps. Bill Wilson corresponded with Jung thanking him for his contribution to AA and many in the fellowship, including Wilson himself, benefitted from the “depth” or “analytical” psychology practiced by Jung's professional followers. But therein lies a problem. The Jungian form of treatment is both lengthy and costly, often far out of reach for most addicts. But can “DEPTH RECOVERY,” to coin a phrase, be experienced without benefit of a trained analyst and can it aid in enriching a recovery journey?In this series, Fr. Bill explores an essay titled “The Aims and Goals of Jungian Analysis” as it appears in a book edited by Murray Stein. By substituting the word “RECOVERY” for “ANALYSIS” the outlines of a journey very similar to the one Jung pointed his patient toward comes into clearer view. At least that's the hope for this series!Murray Stein, the book's editor and the author of the essay under discussion will join Fr. Bill for the final episode in this series.Show notes:Jungian Analysis, edited by Murray Stein. The work contains 18 essays on specific aspects of Jungian analysis written by top Jungian analysts. It probably goes deeper than many might be prepared to venture but it's well worth the stretch. (USED COPIES ARE AFFORDABLY PRICED.)

Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week's episode we conclude our three part journey through the seventeen stages of the heroes journey as laid out by Joseph Campbell in his seminal work “Hero with a Thousand Faces.” In the free section of the show we discuss THE ULTIMATE BOON which we explore in its various manifestations including the traditional narcotic coded drink of the gods and heroes; soma. We also discuss the reluctance to return from the journey (looking at you Odysseus), the magick shapeshifting flight and the occasional need (plot twist) for the hero to be rescued from without. In the extended show we Cross the Threshold and explore what exactly that means, if it's even possible to describe it; which is the next, difficult step which gives way to the journey coming full circle, the work accomplished and freedom rings once more.

We're finished with the mirage men, and now we'll spend a few episodes considering what it all means, you know? And by "it all", I mean "UFOs". We'll start with one of the first books published about UFOs by a major cultural figure. Carl Jung's Flying Saucers--A Modern Myth of Things Seen in the Sky was first published in 1957, at the height of the first UFO craze. He has some interesting things to say, and also a bunch of cranky diatribes and paeans to nonsense, so we'll have a nice time taking a closer look. Hosted on Acast.

Early adulthood can feel like a search for meaning in a world that keeps asking for stability. In this episode of The Dream Journal, host Katherine Bell speaks with Satya Doyle Byock about quarter life as a developmental stage, the tension between stability and meaning, and how dreams can reveal what the conscious mind has not yet understood. Satya discusses her book Quarterlife: The Search for Self in Early Adulthood, her work with the Salome Institute of Jungian Studies, and why young adults may be encountering questions of purpose earlier and more urgently today. The conversation explores Jungian psychology, individuation, stability types and meaning types, the symbolic power of dreams, nightmares, active imagination, and Jung's Red Book as a map of psychological crisis and transformation. You'll also hear reflections on falling dreams, fortress and fire imagery, the role of the unconscious in personal growth, capitalism, and why crisis can become an opening to a deeper life when we learn to listen inwardly. In This Episode Why quarter life deserves to be understood as its own stage of adulthood The difference between stability types and meaning types How dreams can help reveal what is missing, defended, or ready to change Why nightmares may signal psychic movement rather than simply fear What Jung's Red Book teaches about crisis, active imagination, and transformation How inner work can help rebalance a culture focused on external achievement Guest Links Learn more about Satya Doyle Byock at SatyaByock.com and through the Salome Institute of Jungian Studies.

Late-night radio maverick Walter Sterling is back on the air—broadcasting on a brand-new emergency hotline after the studio's phone lines were mysteriously "unfoned". In this hour of The Other Side of Midnight, Walter tackles the glossy, hyper-unrealistic world of the Prime Video hit Off-Campus (arguing that real college kids look like tired, pizza-craving students, not elite models) and dives deep into why solitude is a superpower with a little help from Carl Jung.

Every person carries a longing for real connection, yet the moment true intimacy arrives, an old instinct can trigger the urge to retreat. In this episode, Lorin unpacks Carl Jung's concept of the negative mother complex and how early emotional wounds continue to shape adult relationships. He identifies five specific patterns that grow out of this wound: becoming the fixer who caretakes at the expense of real connection, fearing closeness and creating distance from partners who are actually showing up, overachieving to earn love instead of receiving it freely, choosing intense but destructive chemistry, and settling for safety while avoiding true passion. Lorin walks through how to recognize each pattern as it happens and gives a specific practice for shifting it, so intimacy stops feeling like a threat and becomes the depth of love and connection listeners actually desire.Mentioned in this episode:Healing Your Relationship with the Masculine A 4-week immersive program for womenHealing the Mother Wound - Brand New Edition A 2.5-hour live online workshop with Lorin Krenn

She is author of Body As Shadow: Jung's Method of Embodied Healing. Her website is https://ericalorentz.com/ Erica explores Carl Jung's understanding of the body as an essential pathway to the unconscious rather than a mere physical vessel. She describes how authentic movement, active imagination, and the subtle body can deepen psychological healing, transform trauma, and restore the connection between psyche, soul, and embodiment. Lorentz also examines Jung's relationship to imagination, the feminine, spirituality, and the role of the body as a living expression of the soul. 00:00:00 Introduction 00:02:17 Body as shadow 00:07:24 Authentic movement 00:13:20 Witnessing the unconscious 00:18:22 Healing through embodiment 00:25:55 The subtle body 00:31:15 Active imagination 00:39:16 Archetypes and soul 00:49:16 Conclusion New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man.

In this episode the guys break down exactly how to pick the right workout for your goals — covering why enjoyment matters more than most people realize, how to honestly assess whether you actually like what you're doing, the ROI of strength training versus other modalities, and why appropriateness for your actual life is the deciding factor. They also get into the origin of clowns (spoiler: ancient India and Egypt, not the circus), the CLOW peptide stack from Vita Bella and why Sal and Katrina are both using it for recovery and skin health, Sal's revelation that he quit jiu jitsu because his ego got destroyed at a tournament in 2006 not because of scheduling, the Rafael Nadal documentary and what it teaches about identity and decline, and Carl Jung on why the back half of life is actually better than the first. Then they answer questions from Instagram on optimal body fat for women, how to increase maintenance calories without gaining fat, fixing forward rolled shoulders, and the ethical situations trainers face on the job.   MAPS Upper Lower: https://mapsupperlower.com Code: LAUNCH for 40% off.

What do medieval alchemists, your recurring bad memories, and the reason you can't feel joy have in common? In this lecture, Dr. Jordan B. Peterson traces a single thread from Carl Jung's strangest work to a revolutionary discovery that emerged in four different scientific fields at once, one that changes how you understand every movie you've watched and every choice you've made. Along the way he reveals the writing exercise he built with colleagues from Harvard and McGill that can measurably lower your stress, the 90 minutes a week that determine whether a marriage survives, and the question our culture never asks anyone even once in their life. The night closes with a live Q&A where Dr. Peterson does not hold back on the state of Canada, and a story about a suit that changed more than he expected.
