For this episode, I welcome back previous guest Laura Lewis-Barr. Laura first appeared on Some Other Sphere in episode 116, where we discussed her work as a stop-motion filmmaker, creating short movies inspired by myths, fairy tales and the ideas of people such as Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell. This time around, Laura joined me to talk about the relationship between states of illness and paranormal phenomena. The idea for this subject matter was prompted by an experience she had whilst on holiday in Greece in 2024, during which she suffered from an attack of Bell's Palsy. The interview begins with Laura describing the events that led up to the attack, along with the symbology and archetypal imagery she noticed around that time. From there our conversation opens out into a broader discussion on the liminality of being unwell, centred around an article by Dr Sabina Dosani titled ‘Ghosts and Angels: The Supernatural in Illness Narratives'. We discuss the effect illness can have on a persons sense of self and their perception of the world around them. and we finish up talking about some of the mythic characters and stories that feature motifs of illness and injury. A full account of Laura's illness experience can be found at https://www.storysanctum.org/post/speaking-symbols-with-gorgons. The article by Dr Sabina Dosani that Laura and I discuss in the interview is available at https://medicalhealthhumanities.com/2025/02/25/ghosts-and-angels-the-supernatural-in-illness-narratives/.

In today's Daily Trudge, I'm going back to the roots of recovery — the time before AA had a name, a book, or a Big Book promise. We'll look at Dr. Carl Jung and Dr. William Silkworth — two men who helped shape the foundation of Alcoholics Anonymous without ever sitting in a meeting. Dr. Silkworth called alcoholism “an allergy of the body and an obsession of the mind.” Dr. Jung told a hopeless drinker that only a spiritual experience could save him. When you put those ideas together — medicine and spirit, science and surrender — you get the spark that changed millions of lives. The truth is, recovery started the moment human reason admitted defeat and grace stepped in.

Retired U.S. Army Colonel Karl Nell — a key figure in the Pentagon's UAP research efforts — recently made waves by declaring that UAP disclosure is dead. In this episode, Ryan Sprague unpacks Nell's remarks through his essay “Frankenstein and Flying Saucers” from the acclaimed book UFOs: Reframing the Debate (edited by Robbie Graham). Drawing on the insights of Carl Jung, Jacques Vallée, Jenny Randles, David Clarke, and Greg Bishop, Ryan explores how our understanding of UFOs mirrors Frankenstein's creation — a reflection of humanity's fears, desires, and need to define the unknown. This thought-provoking discussion challenges the “extraterrestrial” assumption and asks: could the truth behind UFOs lie not in the stars, but within ourselves?

-The call to climb- James Robbins- What is lyrical poetry? This episode takes a deep dive into the obstacles holding us back from our true potential with author and personal growth strategist James Robbins. Drawing from the core themes of his transformative fable, The Call to Climb, Robbins explains that the path to fulfillment isn't found in external goals, but through internal self-discovery.The conversation explores powerful psychological "gems" by connecting modern personal growth with the timeless wisdom of Carl Jung's analytical psychology. Robbins discusses the critical role of the unconscious in shaping our reality, introducing:The "Copy-Paste Life": How recurring patterns and plateaus are signs of an unconscious loop that keeps us stuck, preventing us from realizing our highest purpose.The "Appointment with the Soul": A concept, inspired by Jungian thought, that calls us to intentional introspection and self-knowledge to break free from fear and external expectations.Discover how confronting your unconscious is the key to clarity, courage, and ultimately, an enriched journey toward your authentic self..James Robbind:Websiteshttps://www.jamesrobbins.com/The Call to ClimbBooksNine Minutes on MondayThe Call to ClimbSocialsInstagram: @james.r.robbinsYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@james.r.robbinsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/jamesrobbins97/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@james.r.robbins
We compare ourselves both to other people, and to the “inner possibilities” of the life we're meant to live. In this episode we draw wisdom from Carl Jung and Theodore Roosevelt, and discuss social media, identity, AI, and Cain and Able. "The world is full of people suffering from the effects of their own unlived life. They become bitter, critical, or rigid, not because the world is cruel to them, but because they have betrayed their own inner possibilities. The artist who never makes art becomes cynical about those who do. The lover who never risks loving mocks romance. The thinker who never commits to a philosophy sneers at belief itself. And yet, all of them suffer, because deep down they know: the life they mock is the life they were meant to live.” — Carl Jung “I wish to preach, not the doctrine of ignoble ease, but the doctrine of the strenuous life, the life of toil and effort, of labor and strife; that highest form of success which comes, not to the man who desires mere easy peace, but to the man who does not shrink from danger, from hardship, or from bitter toil.” — Theodore Roosevelt, 1899 Find us here: x.com/mattmccloskey x.com/michaelvaclav All Matt's Links - https://solo.to/mattmccloskey All Michael's Links - https://solo.to/michaelvaclav Sovereign Goods - www.etsy.com/shop/SovereignThreadGoods Cafe Medici - mediciroasting.com/?srsltid=AfmBOo…9eDe2OliQmjTc2A
Ouverture d'émission par un hommage, encore...Cette fois, c'est John Lodge, le bassiste des MOODY BLUES qui s'en est allé tutoyer les étoiles ce 10 octobre, il avait 82 ans. S'il n'en était pas membre fondateur, il était très vite devenu un élément essentiel suite à un changement de personnel deux ans seulement après la création du groupe qu'il rejoindra avec Justin Hayward en 1966. La musique classique s'invitera dans les compositions et arrangements de Moody Blues, direction les routes de ce qu'on appellera plus tard... le rock progressif. Extrait dans ce numéro de l'album "To Our Children's Children's Children" paru en 1969 et un titre fort à propos et composé notamment par John... Puisque nous sommes dans les légendes de sa Majesté, un certain PAUL MCCARTNEY, certes le Grand Maca ne fait pas spécialement dans le rock prog, mais c'est un touche à tout, et c'est en réécoutant cette semaine son album "Chaos And Creation In The Backyard" (l'un de mes préférés ! ) que j'ai eu envie de partager un extrait avec vous et j'ai choisi un titre somme toute, pas complètement hors de propos ici... Un (petit) YES, pour se faire plaisir avec un extrait de l'album "TORMATO" paru en 1978, dont la pochette n'est pas (pour la 2ème fois consécutive) attribuée à Roger Dean mais à Hipgnosis, célèbre collectif de graphistes anglais avec le fameux Storm Thorgerson. Mais le rendu n'était pas à la hauteur des attentes du groupe, puisque la légende veut que son claviériste Rick Wakeman mécontent du visuel proposé, lui jettera une tomate (sur le visuel, pas sur Storm ! ) L'album qui devait s'intituler "Yes Tor", deviendra un mix de "Tor" et de "Tomato" (tomate) et la pochette conservera le graphisme original gratifié de la solanacée écrasée...Yes qui par ailleurs est en pleine tournée américaine pour célébrer l'album "Fragile" et dont son vétéran, le guitariste Steve Howe, s'apprête à publier un EP vinyle en tirage très limité (qui devrait toutefois sortir sur les plateformes) consacré à Bob Dylan... En parlant d'Hipgnosis, on associe forcément ce nom à PINK FLOYD dont la quasi intégralité du catalogue est signé de cette boite mythique ! Et quand deux mythes se rencontrent : un visuel parfait pour représenter l'absence, thème d'un album majeur (voire pour beaucoup le meilleur) du Floyd, on obtient "Wish You Were Here". Vous le savez, depuis la fin de saison dernière on revient sur cet album dans l'ordre des morceaux. Depuis la rentrée nous en sommes à la face B et dans ce numéro c'est au tour de la chanson-titre d'être mise à l'honneur. Fans du groupe préparez vous à mettre la main à la poche, depuis que Sony s'est offert le catalogue des anciens de Cambridge, ils doivent chercher à rentabiliser leur investissement ! Bref, une nouvelle édition spéciale 50 ans paraîtra le 12 décembre prochain sous différent formats (CD, digital, LP, Blu-ray, coffret) avec des démos et versions inédites (en plus des quelques unes déjà parues dans la réédition de 2011) et un bootleg live à Los Angeles de 1975 restauré et remixé par un certain... Steven Wilson... Je parlais de musique classique intégrée au rock des Moody Blues, ce qui fut la même tendance chez leurs collègues du BARCLAY JAMES HARVEST qu'on réecoute toujours avec beaucoup de plaisir, ici avec un extrait de leur 2ème opus "Once Again" ce qui nous amène à l'année 1971... Pour limiter ce vertige temporel, quelques anglais contemporains mais également talentueux comme NICK FLETCHER considéré par un certain Steve Hackett (Genesis) comme le meilleur guitariste rock/jazz du Royaume de Sa Majesté, rien que ça ! Il faut dire que Nick nous entraine dans une fusion efficace, ici autour d'un concept à propos de "La Persona", théorie du psychiatre suisse, Carl Jung selon laquelle un individu présente un visage social au monde pour donner une certaine impression et cacher sa vraie nature, ce qui donne pour titre à cet album concept :"The Mask Of Sanity". C'est tout nouveau et fort recommandé par votre serviteur (qui fait de la radio pour éviter de mettre un masque ! ) Il n'y a pas que les anglais dans la vie ! La Pologne par exemple nous gratifie de belles formations rock prog que vous pouvez parfois entendre dans cette émission ! Ainsi PINN DROPP qui vient de publier son 4ème album (après un EP numérique à leur débuts en 2017). "For The Love Of Drama" est le titre de cette galette toute chaude, et là encore c'est un régal pour les cages à miel ! Et puis l'Italie, avec RANESTRANE, ce groupe formé en 1998, inspiré par leurs aînée Goblin ou PFM mais aussi par les cousins britanniques Genesis ou Marillion... Marillion dont deux représentants (le guitariste Steve Rothery et le chanteur Steve Hogarth) ont ramené leurs talents sur l'album inspiré de Stanley Kubrick et son "2001, L'Odyssée de L'Espace". Ici extrait du 1er volet de la trilogie consacrée à l'œuvre Kubrickienne : "A Space Odyssey Vol.1", paru en 2018 avec la guitare de Mr Rothery sur le titre diffusé ce soir... En France, nous ne sommes pas en reste avec deux générations dans ce numéro. Celle de ANGE, avec un 2ème extrait du tout nouvel album fort réussi "Cunégonde", album qui sera entièrement présenté au cours de la saison ! Pendant ce temps là, le groupe poursuit sa tournée "Quitter la Meute", vérifiez les dates près de chez vous. Pour notre belle région, il faudra attendre le 13 février 2026 (Tours) ou le mois de mars pour la Bretagne mais on en reparlera d'ici là ! Enfin, l'espoir de voir briller le rock progressif français passe aussi par la jeune génération et je mise notamment beaucoup sur "PLEDGE OF HEALING" dont "One Step Closer" le 1er album a fait les belles soirées d'Amarok en 2023. Fondé par Claire et Cyril, le projet ne peut et ne doit pas en rester là ! La bonne nouvelle c'est que le groupe est entré en résidence et semble avoir du boulot sur la planche...Tant mieux, je ne sais pas vous mais j'espère et rêve de connaître une suite discographique à l'aventure.... Thierry Joigny Chaque jeudi, à 20h Suivez Amarok sur Facebook également sur Instagram
From fairground palmistry to the science of fingerprinting, historian Alison Bashford explores the secrets, history and psychology of the hand.Alison was in a London library when she discovered a ginormous palm print of a gorilla, taken two days after it died at London Zoo in the 1930s.She had no idea whatsoever about why someone had made this mysterious print, or why it had been kept in pristine condition for all these years.Alison plunged into researching the history of the hand, from fairground palm reading to Jungian analysis.She was transported into the magical, scientific and pseudo-scientific attitudes to markings on the body.She encountered Victorian wellness entrepreneurs, how Down Syndrome was first diagnosed in neonates, and celebrity palm readers whose influence reached all the way to former British Prime Minister, William Gladstone.Further informationAlison's book Decoding The Hand: A History of Science, Medicine, and Magic is published by The University of Chicago Press.This episode of Conversations was produced by Alice Moldovan.

This week I interview journalist and author Olga Khazan about her new book on personality change, Me, But Better. We talk about the Big Five traits—openness, conscientiousness, extraversion/introversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism—and how they play out in ordinary life rather than in personality quizzes. Olga explains what research actually shows about how much you can change, how anxiety and depression tie into neuroticism, and why introversion can quietly turn into isolation. We also discuss everyone's favorite personality expert, Carl Jung, the politics of “openness,” what's happened to our social lives since the pandemic, and how the culture of “self-care” has blurred into hiding from the world. Other threads include: • The science behind gradual, behavioral change instead of “life hacks” • How “fake it till you make it” can work without faking yourself entirely • Gender differences in agreeableness and the social cost of being direct • Why liberals often score higher on neuroticism—and what that might really mean • The relationship between personality, motherhood, and the urge to optimize everything Guest Bio: Olga Khazan is a staff writer for The Atlantic and the author, previously, of Weird. She is a two-time recipient of journalism fellowships from the International Reporting Project and the winner of the 2017 National Headliner Award for Magazine Online Writing.

When the film The Matrix hit theatres in 1999, the basic plot of humanity being hijacked into a false reality struck a chord. Many people back then sensed something wasn't quite right with the world—that "something else" was going on. Today, many researchers and professional journalists, from Tucker Carlson to Naomi Wolf, are proving peoples' instincts right, exposing the staggering depth and complexity of the assault on humanity and our basic freedoms—from COVID to Deep State corruption to AI to social credit scores to the endless wars in the Middle East, etc. So far few have realized there is something behind the conspiracy theories and the corrupt men and women involved in them. There is another layer to humanity's alarming trajectory that must be exposed before it can be fully understood, halted, and reversed. The source and nature of the matrix goes far deeper than greed and madness. For thousands of years, every culture on Earth has described a hostile, invisible intelligence bedeviling humanity, dragging us down. The ancient Greeks called this influence the Archons—malevolent beings controlling people's thoughts, feelings and actions. Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung called this invisible force “antimimos, the imitator and evil principle,” equating it with the Antichrist. Native American tribes call these beings wetiko and windingo. Christianity and the well-oiled entertainment industry have unwittingly (or otherwise) trivialized this parasitic intelligence in its depiction of Satan or the devil. Cracking the Matrix: 14 Keys to Individual & Global Freedom is designed to help people finally see this ancient, interdimensional force, understand its agenda, recognize its blatant presence behind globalist machinations and events, learn how to break free of its controlling influences and stand up in their true power and create the New Heaven and the New Earth.

Send us a textIn this special 200th episode, I explore the power of embracing your Shadow. Drawing from the timeless psychology of Carl Jung, the heartfelt teachings of Debbie Ford, and my own personal journey, we dive into the hidden parts of ourselves that hold the keys to authentic growth and wholeness.This episode is a deep reflection on how the aspects we reject can become our greatest allies when we bring them into the light. I share how shadow patterns show up in everyday life, how I've encountered and integrated my own, and why embracing what we've hidden is the path to true inner freedom.

In this episode James P. Dowling talks us through the unlikely friendship between physicist Wolfgang Pauli and psychologist Carl Jung. Their dialogue on quantum mechanics and archetypes pulled science and myth into the same room, forcing each to reckon with the other's language. Out of their exchanges came visions of atoms haunted by the unconscious, and shadows that reached into equations. We follow their conversation to ask what happens when reason and dream try to share the same desk.PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-showHOMEBREW MUSIC - Check out our new album!Hard Copies (Vinyl): FREE SHIPPING https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/products/vinyl-lp-secretary-of-nature-everything-is-so-good-hereStreaming:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-hereJames' website: https://jungtoliveby.com/00:00 Go! 00:08:00 The Trickster Archetype and Personal Development00:12:00 Intuition and Rationality in Model Making00:16:00 Consequences of the Enlightenment and Modernity00:20:00 Historical Lessons from the French Revolution00:22:23 Discussion of Instinct vs. Rationality in Human Behavior00:24:12 The Role of Dopamine in Human Decision Making00:26:18 The Impact of Abandoning Symbolism in Modernity00:29:00 Motivation in Physics and the Pursuit of Glory00:33:26 The Dichotomy between Science and the Human Experience00:39:11 Integrating Jungian Concepts with Biology00:44:58 Discussing Jung's Word Association Test and Complexes00:50:12 Understanding Affect, Emotion, and Archetypes00:57:32 Jung's Methodology and Interpretation of Complexes01:05:12 Approaching Jungian Concepts in Personal Development01:07:33 The Quest for Identity and Self-Reflection01:09:37 Generational Differences in Self-Concept01:16:52 Life Stages and the Search for Meaning01:19:10 The Duality of Growth and Identity01:25:09 The Healing Power of Creativity01:28:31 Creative Participation as a Human Experience01:32:06 Internet's Dual Role in Creativity01:36:23 Understanding Creativity and Instinct01:39:51 Renaissance vs. Revolution in Institutions01:41:53 Engaging with the Unconscious Mind01:46:47 Shifting Perspectives on Artistic Process01:48:52 Discussion on Competing Teams in Science01:52:34 The Tradition and Lineage in Science01:56:12 Creativity and Glory in Scientific Pursuits02:04:36 The Nature of Truth and Scientific Frameworks02:09:43 Cultural Narratives in Science and AI Development02:10:29 Exploration of Myth and Reality02:12:06 Darwin's Legacy and Evolutionary Theory02:16:52 Archetypes and Scientific Paradigms02:19:14 The Role of Mathematics in Physics02:23:39 Understanding the Limits of Rational Inquiry02:27:24 Simulation Theory and Metaphysical Speculation02:32:05 The Interplay of Mathematics and Experience02:33:00 Exploration of Human Psyche and Evolutionary Perspectives02:36:12 Jung's Insights on Individual Calling and Collective Responsibility02:39:01 Invitation to Further Exploration and Collaborative Learning#jungianpsychology, #quantummechanics, #carljung, #archetypes, #depthpsychology, #unconsciousmind, #psychoanalysis, #philosophypodcast , #sciencepodcast, #longformpodcastMERCH: Rock some DemystifySci gear : https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/AMAZON: Do your shopping through this link: https://amzn.to/3YyoT98DONATE: https://bit.ly/3wkPqaDSUBSTACK: https://substack.com/@UCqV4_7i9h1_V7hY48eZZSLw@demystifysci RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/2be66934/podcast/rssMAILING LIST: https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S SOCIAL: - Discord: https://discord.gg/MJzKT8CQub- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/DemystifySci- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/DemystifySci/- Twitter: https://twitter.com/DemystifySciMUSIC: -Shilo Delay: https://g.co/kgs/oty671
Mind Love • Modern Mindfulness to Think, Feel, and Live Well
In this episode, you'll discover:Why your body rebels when you're living someone else's scriptThe third option between toxic masculinity and invisible masculinityHow real masculine power actually improves intimate relationshipsWhat if the price of being the "good guy" is losing yourself completely?I'm so tired of hearing women complain about where all the good men are. You know what I think? They're out there. They're just so busy trying not to be toxic that they've made themselves invisible. We've swung from one extreme to another. Now instead of dealing with assholes, we're dating ghosts.You've got two terrible options in the dating world. Door number one: the obvious red flags who think emotions are for weaklings and leadership means being the loudest jackass in the room. Door number two: guys who are so terrified of taking up space that there's nothing actually there. Sure, they're nice. Sure, they're safe. But they're also the type to suggest going Dutch on the first date because making any kind of move feels too risky.Men are killing themselves at three times the rate of women, but they won't ask for help. And honestly? I get it. The message they're getting is confusing as hell. Be vulnerable but not weak. Be strong but not aggressive. Lead but don't be controlling. No wonder they're paralyzed.The thing is, we're all paying for this mess. When the men in our lives are walking around dead inside, our relationships suffer. Our kids learn that strength means shutting down. Everyone loses when half the population is too scared to show up authentically.Carl Jung wrote about the wounded healer. The person whose deepest pain becomes their greatest gift. A lot of men have learned to be incredibly sensitive to everyone else's feelings because they've completely numbed their own. They'll bend over backwards to make you happy while slowly suffocating inside.Today our guest is Isaac Wathen, a men's coach who helps guys move from people-pleasing to actual leadership. After his own health crisis forced him to face how disconnected he'd become, Isaac figured out how to reclaim masculine power without becoming a total dick about it.Links from the episode:Show Notes: mindlove.com/422Join the Mind Love CollectiveSign up for The Morning Mind Love for short daily notes to wake up inspiredSupport Mind Love SponsorsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I never set out to be a counselor for the strange and unexplainable...but as I taught meditation, continued my psychology education and opened myself to counseling work, a pattern formed. People didn't just bring stress or heartbreak. They brought UFO sightings, shadow figures in doorways, mantis beings in dreams, voices with no bodies, premonitions that came true.These weren't “fringe” people. They were parents, professionals, students. And they weren't looking for someone to prove or disprove their stories... they were looking for someone who wouldn't laugh. Someone to listen.This video is about what it's like to sit with experiencers. How hearing enough of these stories softens your categories of science, spirituality, and psychology. How history is full of experiencers, in the form of shamans, saints, mystics, who had ritual frameworks to hold their visions, while today's experiencers drift without containers.I talk about sleep paralysis, archetypes, Carl Jung, mantis beings, grays, and shadow people but mostly I talk about the power of witnessing without judgment. Because empathy can sometimes dissolve shame faster than explanation.It's also about me...ewww I know and how listening to these stories has reshaped my own sense of reality. Certainty is brittle. Mystery is fertile. And maybe, in witnessing others, we start to touch a truth that doesn't need proof to be felt.If you want to talk about your experiences...or really anything else, you're welcome to stop by our Discord server.https://discord.gg/dXKjhZrZmMOr if you prefer my unsolicited rants in written form, there is a blog on www.idiotmystic.com and a contact form. I'll warn you though...there are typos. If you made it to the end of this...I truly hope you're well, should I have said that at the start?
You are what you do, not what you say you'll do. - Carl Jung
DREAM WITH US, and we'll teach you how to interpret them!Some mothers attack life in their children. They crush appetite, joy, curiosity, and initiative. They call it love or duty. It is not love. It is domination dressed as care. She withholds warmth to make the child obedient. She intrudes when the child needs space and vanishes when the child needs help. She shames tears, punishes play, mocks ambition, and polices the body. She turns boundaries into punishments and favors into chains. The Death Mother archetype is ancient and modern, requiring careful confrontation to free the parent and the child from its destructive grip.

Send us a textIn this powerful continuation of the Shadow Into Light series, host Andrea Atherton invites listeners into the heart of love's most hidden terrain — the shadow parts we carry into relationships. Building on the foundation of Episode One, Andrea weaves together the wisdom of Carl Jung's shadow and Dr. Richard Schwartz's Internal Family Systems model to illuminate how these disowned parts of ourselves show up in partnership. Far from being simply “bad behaviors,” these parts are protective, reactive, and deeply human, often surfacing as jealousy, criticism, withdrawal, or defensiveness.Through relatable examples and heartfelt reflections, Andrea reveals how these shadow parts collide in what she calls the shadow dance — the repeating cycles of conflict and projection that so many couples find themselves locked into. Listeners will discover how unresolved wounds from the past can magnify small moments into painful ruptures, and why arguments with a partner often feel more intense than the situation at hand. With compassion and clarity, Andrea shows that these patterns aren't signs of failure, but opportunities for self-discovery and growth.Ultimately, this episode is an invitation to see love not only as a mirror of our light, but also as a container for healing our shadows. Andrea guides listeners toward gentle practices for noticing when a “part” is activated and reminds us that every conflict is an opening to bring compassion where there was once blame. Episode 221 offers hope that by learning to meet our shadows with tenderness, we can shift from disconnection to deeper intimacy, transforming the shadow dance into a path of conscious love.30-minute Consultation with Andrea https://www.andreaatherton.com/booking-calendarAndrea Atherton Websitehttps://www.andreaatherton.com/Love Anarchy Websitehttps://www.andreaatherton.com/podcasthttps://loveanarchypodcast.buzzsprout.comLove Anarchy Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/loveanarchypodcast/Andrea Atherton Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/andreaatherton-17/
The Quantum Life: There Is a Better Way to Live by Dr M Teri Daunter https://www.amazon.com/Quantum-Life-There-Better-Live/dp/1639453652 The Quantum Life is provocative, intellectually and spiritually challenging. It will trigger you and it will awaken you because it demonstrates how you live in a world that is psycho-spiritually crippled. You are sleeping imprisoned it informs. You are so bound to the dumb conformity built from deceptive tricks that you hardly perceive your bonds. Normal is not healthy. Normal is neurotic. You have been chained and hampered and living a life of fiction Dr. Daunter exhorts. The Quantum Life illustrates how you span two dimensions simultaneously. It teaches the reader to operate from a much larger computer with infinite information. It teaches you to release blocked creativity, endow your life with meaning and give you the opportunity to see yourself in the bigger scope of life by connecting to your Infinite Creative Intelligence. The Quantum Life provides you the longest vision in the room and awakens you to a profounder self-knowledge. This fascinating book examines the idea of The Quantum Life -a way of approaching life that empowers one to realize that the true purpose of life is to be an active creator in a universe that is both conscious and connected. In fact, consciousness is at the center of what is known as The Quantum Life. The book's introduction describes this belief as presenting an "inherent psychology of Consciousness." The beginning of the book offers the theory that orthodoxy has brainwashed the masses. Calling it a disease, which merely shackles through "collective hypnosis and conditioning," Daunter continues her argument that Quantum Spirituality sees the individual as a finite-infinite being with endless potential and endless possibilities. She recognizes C. G. Jung's clinical research concerning the collective unconscious and how it affects one's spirituality, physical health, and decision-making "as the seed from which Quantum Spirituality grew." Daunter offers up an intriguing premise presented in an easily comprehended manner. She is undoubtedly passionate about the prospect of the human capacity to live The Quantum Life achieving full consciousness. The author's passion for her subject and her unwavering belief in the human ability to transcend the confines of orthodoxy make this a concept one might wish to explore. Daunter's book presents unorthodox ideas about life in an easy-to-understand and enthusiastic manner. Readers from all religious and philosophical backgrounds may find much food for thought in this work. US Review of Books by Kat Kennedy There are frequent mentions of the work of Carl Jung in these pages. Alongside these are exhortations which ring both contemporary and true, such as "Be the CEO and guardian of your soul." This book is ultimately hopeful, a welcome departure from passive belief systems. The book calls for the awakening of mankind to its true calling, namely achieving selfhood and discarding false worship. Dr. Daunter writes, "Heaven and hell are states of consciousness in which you live." This is evocative of the best of another spiritual whistleblower, namely William Blake. - David Allen, Pacific Book Review

How should we support the dying, and how should we approach death itself? What is conscious dying? What does Carl Jung's work say about facing death?In this episode we have the complex topic of how to face Death, through the lens of psycho analyst Carl Jung. I'm sure that some of you will have found this episode because you're facing death during this time, either your own or of a loved one; and to those of you I offer my condolences and healing prayers, and hope dearly that what we discuss today will offer some perspective and assistance, and my apologies in advance if any of our ideas cause you pain: death and mourning are extremely personal topics. But I also hope that many others of you are here simply to try and form a healthier relationship with death.The inspiration for this episode came not only from my own experience facing my own parent's mortality, but also from my intuition that our modern, consumeristic, aestheic and individualistic society has made us more afraid of death than ever; perhaps because of our modern societies focus on material well-being, and the power of technology to guarantee it. My gut feeling is that we need to become aware of this unconscious taboo, as it seems to be hindering a deeper and perhaps more wholesome acceptance of mortality in general. And that's why I wanted to speak to a specialist like my guest psychoanalyst Monika Wikman. Monika received her PhD in clinical psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology and then qualified as a Jungian psychoanalyst at the Jung-Von Franz Center for Depth psychology in Zurich. She is an expert on topics including archetypal phenomena surrounding death, dreams, active imagination and alchemy. Her work with the dying culminated in a research project called ‘Dreams of the Dying' at UC San Diego Medical Center. She is also the author of the book, “Pregnant Darknesss: Alchemy and the rebirth of consciousness”. What we discuss:00:00 Intro.04:30 How to support the dying.07:05 Death informs us.09:00 Facing our own mortality - the history of Conscious dying.13:18 The Osiris Myth. Dismemberment and rememberment.16:45 Death is the ultimate goal, an achievement, according to Jung.19:15 Death duellers.21:45 The last step of individuation.24:45 Symbolic death, according to Jung.30:00 ‘The wound is where the light enters you'.

Inspired by the dandelion—so often dismissed as a weed yet full of nourishment and healing—Sonia reflects with emotion and compassion on what it means to be misunderstood, overlooked, and yet quietly resilient. While the poem was born from feeling, listeners may also hear echoes of psychology within it. Carl Jung's shadow self reminds us that what we push away may hold hidden medicine, and the study of resilience speaks to the strength of rising again after being uprooted. Themes: - Misunderstanding and hidden value - Emotional resilience in the face of rejection - Jung's shadow as a lens for integration - Nature as metaphor for the human spirit

Subconscious Realms Episode - 299Synchronicities with Thrash!!"Synchronicities are meaningful coincidences, described by Carl Jung, where two or more events are connected not by cause-and-effect but by their surprising and personal significance, mirroring both internal psychological states and external happenings. Jung saw synchronicities as an "acausal connecting principle" that could offer psychological guidance, much like dreams, by revealing connections between the unconscious mind and the outer world. Recognizing synchronicities involves being open to seeing meaningful patterns and potential messages from the universe.

The loss of the collected works of Joseph Campbell or Carl Jung would be a devastating blow to entertainment, culture, history, etc., considering how much these men influenced the former. But if we think about this in regard to ancient history, it is very difficult to ascertain much of anything about people that lived thousands of years before our time, especially when we have only fragmentary evidence of their existence. However, when there are parallels in this evidence we should pull at that common thread rather than dismiss it and reduce it to coincidence. Just ago we were still telling people slaves built the Giza pyramids and now museums are telling the public that skilled workers paid in oil and spices perform the construction. On the other hand, there's a movement that pushes the idea most Egyptian artifacts are manufactured in the 20th century. What's more interesting than orthodoxy and conspiracy is the fact that there are incredible parallels between overlooked Egyptian artifacts, and what we find in India and further east in Asia all the way back around to the Americas. With the recent announcement of a 1.1 million-year-old skull, the ideas about human origins being anything but African and past advance civilizations is growing more evident.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

On the 100th anniversary of the League of Nations' 1925 Resolution on the Collaboration of the Press in the Organisation of Peace, we talk with Professor Kaarle Nordenstreng to explore how media, moral disarmament, and broadcasting shaped interwar internationalism and later global media debates. Professor Nordenstreng shares his thoughts on his research on the 1925 Resolution and the developments that led up to the 1936 International Convention on the Use of Broadcasting in the Cause of Peace. He connects these landmarks to the first mass media declaration by UNESCO in 1978. He also recounts highlights from his career from his early involvement in radio to interviewing Carl Jung in 1961, and speaking at the UN in 1982, and reflects on the continuing challenges of journalistic ethics, disarmament, and multilateralism today. The episode connects past media diplomacy to today's challenges, urging renewed focus on media ethics, international cooperation, and the power of journalism to shape public opinion for peace.

"Jung was essentially an evolutionary theorist". These are the words of Gary Clark, a Visiting Research Fellow in the School of Medical Sciences at the University of Adelaide in Australia, who has written a book on the intersection of Jungian Analytical Psychology and evolutionary neuroscience. If you want to learn more about Gary you can check out his book "Carl Jung and the Evolutionary Sciences: A New Vision for Analytical Psychology" (and grab a free PDF of its intro) here. You can also dive into the rest of his work on academia.edu and ResearchGate. In this conversation, I sit down with Gary to explore the intersection of Jungian psychology and evolutionary neuroscience, examining how recent psychedelic research provides empirical validation for Jung's theories about the collective unconscious and archetypes. We discuss how modern neuroscience, particularly studies of primary and secondary consciousness systems, maps onto Jung's framework of ego consciousness versus deeper archetypal layers. The conversation covers the revolutionary potential of psychedelic research for studying previously inaccessible aspects of consciousness and Jung's prescient evolutionary approach to depth psychology.⏳Timestamps00:00 James's Intro01:07 Opening and situating Gary's work03:35 Affective Neuroscience and the Primary and Secondary layers of consciousness09:00 Psychedelics, the numinous and evolutionary theory22:17 Have we found the (neuroscientific) archetypes?28:40 Psychedelics and the Collective Unconscious34:53 Jordan Peterson's Jungian synthesis36:57 Peterson gets chimpanzees and ancient humans wrong46:01 Leaving Jung behind: Depth Psychology maturation as a science58:50 Mapovers between Iain McGilchrist's work and Gary's1:01:19 What Gary's working on now1:07:32 Gary's guest recommendation: Erik Goodwyn
Have you ever dismissed that quiet inner nudge, only to regret it later? While most of us think we’re missing intuition, the truth is we’re systematically blocked from accessing it. We’ve been conditioned to trust logic over the whispers of our unconscious mind. But what if there was a way to reopen that bridge between rational thinking and deeper inner knowing? In this transformative episode, psychologist and bestselling author Athena Laz reveals the hidden psychological trap that’s been severing your connection to intuitive wisdom since childhood, and introduces a powerful archetypal framework that can restore it. The Science Behind Your Blocked Intuition Athena shares compelling research that proves intuitive abilities are real and measurable. Studies by researcher Rupert Sheldrake demonstrate that humans can sense when they’re being watched from kilometres away, even when facing the opposite direction. Countless people worldwide dream of natural disasters before they occur, often in places they’ve never visited. This isn’t mystical thinking. It’s documented human capacity that most of us have learned to ignore. Introducing the Medial Archetype The conversation centres on a revolutionary concept developed in the 1950s by analyst Tony Wolff, a brilliant collaborator of Carl Jung. Wolff identified what she called the “medial archetype” – a psychological structure that serves as a bridge between: The conscious and unconscious mind Dreams and waking reality The seen and unseen worlds Inner wisdom and external action Athena brings this forgotten archetype into modern times, showing how anyone can access this bridging function regardless of gender identity or background. Why Society Programmed You to Distrust Your Gut The episode explores how social conditioning systematically disconnects us from our natural intuitive abilities. From childhood, many of us learn that psychic experiences, vivid dreams, or “knowing” things without logical explanation aren’t acceptable. This creates what Athena calls a “psychological trap” – we possess the capacity for expanded awareness but have been taught to dismiss it as imagination or wishful thinking. Recognising the Medial Archetype in Daily Life The medial archetype appears through various channels: In Dreams: Figures serving as messengers or guides Symbols of bridges, rainbows, or infinity signs Angels or beings facilitating communication In Mythology: The Greek goddess Iris, who travels rainbow bridges between the divine and mortal realms Characters who mediate between different worlds or states of consciousness In Daily Life: Synchronicities that carry authentic weight and meaning Moments when inner and outer reality seem to respond to each other Natural emergence of symbolic experiences without prompting Practical Steps to Reconnect With Your Intuition Athena provides actionable guidance for developing intuitive abilities: Start Playfully Guess where the best parking space will be Before checking your phone, sense who the next email might be from Practice on low-stakes situations to remove pressure Begin Dream Work Write down the last dream you remember each morning Look for recurring symbols or themes Notice connections between dream content and waking life events Commit to Stillness Start with just 2 minutes of quiet sitting daily Gradually build to 10-20 minutes Develop “meta-awareness” – noticing your thoughts without judgment The Light and Shadow of Archetypal Work Working with the medial archetype brings significant benefits: Increased discernment Enhanced trust in the unknown Better navigation of life transitions Deeper connection to inner wisdom However, Athena emphasises potential challenges: Feeling overwhelmed by collective energies Difficulty maintaining healthy boundaries Need for grounding practices and realistic expectations Why This Matters Now More Than Ever In our polarised world, the medial archetype’s bridge-making function becomes crucial. As technology accelerates life to unsustainable speeds and external focus creates widespread anxiety, reconnecting with inner guidance offers both personal healing and cultural evolution. Research shows the average person spends over two hours daily scrolling mindlessly online while claiming they don’t have 10 minutes for inner stillness. Athena challenges this priority, asking: “Can you afford NOT to sit in those 20 minutes?” About Athena Laz Athena Laz is the bestselling author of “Women Who Dance in the Dark,” “The Alchemy of Your Dreams,” “The Sisterhood of Seers Oracle Deck,” and “The Deliberate Dreamer’s Journal.” Her books have been translated into more than 13 languages worldwide. As an intuitive, psychologist, and lucid dream teacher, she helps thousands of people connect with spirit and psyche through dreams, mysticism, intuitive development, and archetypal work. Three Golden Nuggets: Start Today Find Play in Seriousness – Approach intuitive development with curiosity rather than pressure. Do what makes you feel good. Record Your Dreams – Write down the last dream you remember each morning. This simple practice re-energises dream recall and memory. Practice Two-Minute Stillness – Sit quietly for just two minutes daily, developing awareness of your thoughts without judgment. Key Takeaway Accessing your intuitive abilities isn’t about becoming more “spiritual” – it’s about becoming more fully human. The boundary between inner and outer worlds is far more porous than we’ve been taught. Learning to navigate this reality with skill and discernment can transform how you make decisions, understand yourself, and move through the world.

In an age of constant information, it's easy to feel lost in the noise. On this episode of Great Practice, Great Life, Steve Riley welcomes back attorney and author Ronald Chapman II to discuss how to navigate our complex digital world and take back your own truth. Drawing on his experiences as a Marine Corps JAG officer and nationally recognized trial lawyer, Ronald offers practical ways to think clearly in an algorithm-shaped media landscape. He shares strategies from Truth and Persuasion: In the Digital Revolution, showing how recognizing cognitive biases and applying systems thinking can strengthen your narrative and leadership. Their conversation moves from the psychology of decision-making to the modern “tribes” formed by our media diets, with touchpoints to Daniel Kahneman, Carl Sagan, and Carl Jung's call to “make the unconscious conscious.” They explore how tailored messaging contributes to fragmentation—and why that matters for lawyers speaking to clients, teams, and juries. Ronald underscores the value of introspection and clear communication, encouraging critical thinking, grounded inputs, and well-researched information. As Ronald and Steve examine the interplay of truth and persuasion, they emphasize authentic dialogue with yourself and others. Ronald's reflections on his career and growth testify to the power of integrity in both personal and professional realms. They close with a call to embrace complexity, think deliberately, and lead with purpose. In this episode, you will hear: An exploration of truth and persuasion in the digital age, informed by Ronald's experience as a Marine Corps JAG officer and trial lawyer How cognitive biases and systems thinking can enhance personal narratives, legal strategy, and leadership The impact of algorithm-driven curation on individual perspectives and broader societal fragmentation Why media “diets” and tailored messaging create modern tribes—and what that means for juries, clients, and families System 1 vs. System 2 thinking (Kahneman) and practical ways to guard against snap judgments The role of authenticity, introspection, and Jung's “make the unconscious conscious” in maintaining integrity Practical steps to reclaim focus, choose better inputs, and communicate more persuasively in a fragmented environment Subscribe & Review Never miss an episode.

I dive into Carl Jung's concept of the Puer Aeternus—the eternal child, or what we might call the “man-child.” I explore how this archetype shows up in our lives through procrastination, fantasy, and avoidance of responsibility.
