I go through a journey of Carl Jung, Myers/Briggs, David Keirsey temperament theory, Human Design Ra Uru Hu, Quantum Human Design developed by Dr Karen Parker…. Ultimately any of these systems could help us get to a better collective consciousness right now if we cared more about understanding the collective than making the individual successful.

For episode 15 of Pop Apocalypse, we welcome Fryderyk Kwiatkowski, Assistant Professor at the University of Krakow, on to discuss the relationship between ancient Gnostic myth and modern cinema. Fryderyk takes us through the impact European intellectuals Carl Jung, Hans Jonas, and Eric Voegelin on popular conceptions of Gnosticism. Then we dive into analyses of the Gnostic elements in films like the Matrix, Dark City, Truman Show, and more recent cinema like Free Guy, Chappie, and the television series Silo.
As promised, if we ever found the recording Daniel lost, we would put them out for you to here. Well great news is Daniel found them and here is the final of three lost episodes. In this episode, we reflect on a profound quote shared by a listener: “The young man who rings the bell at the brothel is unconsciously looking for God.” What does it mean to seek wholeness in all the wrong places? How does addiction become a misguided spiritual quest—and what happens when we begin to recognize the deeper hunger underneath? Drawing on Carl Jung's insights and personal stories from recovery, we explore how acting out can falsely imitate connection, intimacy, or even divinity. We also talk about how real spiritual fulfillment—found through self-love, community, and the 12 Steps—can take the place of that desperate search. Join us for an honest, hopeful discussion on longing, God, and the journey toward true wholeness.
Marie-Louise von Franz was a Swiss psychologist who closely collaborated with Carl Jung from 1933 until his death in 1961. One of von Franz's primary topics of interest was fairy tales. For like myths, fairy tales contains timeless wisdom that teaches us about the human condition. Jung believed that so much wisdom was contained in […] The post Carl Jung and The Most Important Rule of Life first appeared on Academy of Ideas.
The author of the acclaimed introduction to the practice of Jungian psychology, Boundaries of the Soul, June Singer draws from personal and professional experience to discuss the importance of dreams, those gifts from the unconscious which profoundly imbue our conscious lives. This program provides an excellent introduction not only to Jung's dream theory, but also its application in psychoanalysis—from one of the masters of the art. June Singer, PhD was a major figure in the development of the Jungian movement in the United States. She earned a Ph.D. in Psychology from Northwestern University and completed training as a Jungian analyst in Zurich, Switzerland. During the 1960′s, Dr. Singer founded the Analytical Psychology Club of Chicago, which eventually became the C.G. Jung Institute of Chicago, in order to provide interested individuals an opportunity to study the works of Carl Jung. June Singer was a gifted analyst and a distinguished author and lecturer. Her text, Boundaries of the Soul, is considered to be one of the best introductions to Jungian thought. She also wrote two books about sexuality, and a Jungian study of the poet William Blake.

In this enlightening episode, Andrea Samadi welcomes resiliency expert and author Horacio Sanchez to discuss his latest book, "Unlocking School Bias: Using Neuroscience to Improve Student Outcomes." Together, they delve into how educators can effectively address bias in their classrooms by exploring neuroscience-based strategies. Horacio shares the significance of understanding subconscious biases, such as confirmation bias and impact bias, and their influence on students' well-being and achievement. He emphasizes the role of educators in creating inclusive environments by being aware of their own biases and adopting practical strategies that foster positive student interactions. This episode provides invaluable insights for anyone looking to make impactful changes in educational settings. Watch this interview on YouTube here https://youtu.be/V78873aZPBk On today's EP365 "Unlocking School Bias" you will learn to explore your own and your students' biases and discover: ✔ The latest research from psychology, education, and neuroscience. ✔ Different types of biases, including confirmation bias and impact bias, and how they manifest themselves in everyday life. ✔Practical strategies for educators who are ready to change their and their students' actions. ✔How patterns in one's environment create biases and affect the brain's development Welcome back to SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, an author, and an educator with a passion for learning and launched this podcast 7 years ago now, with the goal of bringing ALL the leading experts together (in one place) to help us to APPLY this research in our daily lives. Welcome back! It's always good to take some time away, for travel and family time, and it feels incredible to routine back to recording and routine. Thank you for tuning back in after our summer break where I hope you have taken some time off to refresh, before diving back into the second half of 2025. For today's EP 365, we meet with someone who I first heard about on our very first interview, EP #3[i], with educator, Ron Hall, from Valley Day School, Pennsylvania on “Launching Your Neuroeducational Program.” Ron Hall mentioned it was today's guest who opened his mind to connecting the brain to his classrooms, many years ago, and he has never looked back. Today, we welcome back resiliency expert, author Horacio Sanchez to the podcast for the 4th time. We met him first on EP 74[ii] on “How to Improve Brain Science to Improve School Climate”, EP 111[iii] on “Finding Solutions to the Poverty Problem: and again on EP 177[iv] where we gathered a team of experts to dive into the most significant insights they've noticed over the years in neuroscience. When we first met Horacio, we focused on his book The Education Revolution [ii]published by Corwin Press, that addresses the decline in empathy, increase in obesity, and the impact of implicit bias on minority students. Our conversation turned to focus on the problems we were seeing in the world at that moment (July 2020) highlighting the need for racial change through an understanding of race and culture. I knew that Horacio was deep into his next book, The Poverty Problem: How Education Can Promote Resilience and Counter Poverty's Impact on Brain Development that we went deep into on EP 74. Today we meet with Horacio Sanchez to review his latest book, Unlocking School Bias: Using Neuroscience to Improve Student Outcomes[v] that was released in February of this year, through Corwin Press. His most recent book, Unlocking School Bias ends the confusion around bias and provides educators with research and strategies that enable them to effectively address bias in the classroom and school in appropriate and productive ways. Learn to explore your own and your students' biases and discover: The latest research from psychology, education, and neuroscience Different types of biases, including confirmation bias and impact bias, and how they manifest themselves in everyday life Practical strategies for educators who are ready to change their and their students' actions How patterns in one's environment create biases and affect the brain's development Implicit bias occurs subconsciously and so quickly that the conscious brain is unaware that it happened. Yet, with mindful practice and reflection, we can rewrite the automated processes in our brains, stop our subconscious minds from determining our thoughts and behaviors, and help our students feel safe and successful in school. Let's meet Horacio Sanchez and explore our own biases first, and then see how this understanding can help us with our students in the classroom, or with the athletes we coach, or in our workplace. Welcome back for the 4th time Horacio! It's incredible to see you again. What have you been up to (other than traveling and working in schools?) INTRO: Horacio, I know that implicit bias came up on our first interview, and I've had other guest speak about this topic, but I wonder what made you want to write this book about Unlocking School Bias? Q1: After reading the Foreword by David Fink, where he mentioned that “he lived in a world where everyone around him constantly made assumptions about how people with dyslexia and adhd thought, felt and performed in school” and that “you can't dodge these assumptions (that we know are biases). I started to see things differently, especially as you know the work I do day to day is around helping students who are struggling readers. I want to be sure that I am aware of my own biases. With the insights from David's Foreword, why is it so important (or critical) that we check ourselves every day to stop our subconscious mind from determining our thoughts and behaviors? How can we do this? Q2: How do you see biases impacting student wellbeing and academic achievement? Q3: This topic has become popular over the past few years. What are some common misconceptions about biases that are harmful? Q4: What have you uncovered with the latest psychology, education and neuroscience research that can help us to break through the bias barrier? How can we use neuroscience to understand how our brains produce bias, predict when it's probable, and prepare ourselves for appropriate responses? Q5: Chapter 1 The Birth of Bias you cover the first year of life of a baby, and how “in-group bias is an unattended outcome of infant-mother attachment” as well as how a “fear of strangers” first occurs in the early years of life. How can this brain-science now help teachers in the classroom with their students? What about for those who work with athletes? Or the corporate space? Q6: In Chapter 2 The Cup is Half Empty on the negativity bias, you cover in depth how “negativity bias is already present in the first year of life” and that “we are alerted to negative things in our environment faster than positive ones” and that “we remember negative experiences longer and more vividly.” This chapter was hard for me to read because I work hard to focus on the positive side of things every day, squashing the negatives, and wondered if brain science will go against all the hard work that I put into this. What does neuroscience say about the negativity bias, and how can we use this understanding to improve results in our schools, sports and workplaces? Q6B: The part of this chapter on change interested me, as I do come across your example from the book on change in my day to day experience. What can we do to help us through change, knowing how hard it is for the human brain? Q7: In Chapter 3, Believe it or Not on Confirmation Bias, you cover how “our brain is programmed to see things in the environment that support existing beliefs” and that “research shows that teachers' beliefs about students might be the strongest predictor of outcomes.” This reminded me of what David Fink wrote about in the Foreword, that was behind the reason for why he has devoted his life to “addressing the biases that stunt student achievement and well-being.” How can we combat confirmation bias and update our belief system? Q8: Horacio, I love the work of Julie Porter, who created the graphic that accompanies your book. She explains each chapter, with an explanation of each bias, as well as strategies that educators can use. Since I'm always looking to extend the learning to our sports environments and workplaces, is there anything we should do different in our sports environments or workplaces as we are navigating these biases? Q9: As I was reading your book, and thinking of these subconscious biases that we all have, it made me think of something that came up in my brain scan evaluation with Dr. Shane Creado, after we recorded EP #84.[vi] Dr. Creado asked me if I had ever done any shadow work. At the time I hadn't and I didn't even know what it was. I thought it must have been important, so I've since started to look at Carl Jung's work, and I wonder, how are our subconscious biases similar to our shadow-sides, or the hidden parts of ourselves that we can explore to improve our self-awareness? Q10: What are some final thoughts of what we can do with the “200 milliseconds where our subconscious mind has shaped our perceptions and influenced our behaviors?” What can we do to lessen the impact of implicit biases and create schools, sports or work environments where we can all flourish?” Horacio, I want to thank you very much for coming back to the podcast for a 4th time. What's next on the horizon for you? We need to have you back for a 5th time, which will be a record for us on the podcast, beating out all guests.

Vậy là chúng ta cũng đã đi đến tập cuối cùng của mini-series Thế Giới Carl Jung rồi. Hôm nay cũng là đúng sinh nhật 150 tuổi của Jung (1875-2025), cho nên đây hẳn là một dịp có một không hai.Như một lời tri ân đến Jung, Trí cùng thầy Minh Niệm dành hơn một giờ đồng hồ để đi vào những câu chuyện của "shadow", của mặt nạ xã hội, của các nguyên mẫu. Khác với 3 tập trước – vốn nghiêng hẳn về các khái niệm, tập này Trí tin là sẽ "dễ thở" hơn một chút, phần lớn là vì thầy Minh Niệm nói quá hay nên là Trí... không phải làm gì nhiều.Nếu các bạn để ý, Trí có quyển sách "Con Nguời Và Biểu Tượng" (Man and His Symbols), nằm ngay trên bàn của mình. Đây là một quyển khác của Jung mà Trí yêu thích, được phát hành bởi Nhã Nam. Trí cũng thường nói mọi người rằng quyển này rất tốt để bạn bắt đầu bước vào thế giới của Carl Jung.
Happy 150th birthday to the legendary father of analytical psychology, Carl Jung!In this episode of the Radiant Astrology Podcast, my guest is Jungian analyst and astrologer Sherene Vismaya @sherenevismaya with a celebration of Jung - his life and work.Sherene shares how she first became interested in Jung when she was very young and formed a lifelong bond with his wisdom on the depths of the soul.We discuss pivotal moments of Jung's childhood which shaped his beliefs in the mystical, his great compassion for the mentally ill and his final prophesy for humanity.And of course, we take a look at his natal chart from both a Western and Vedic perspective, as well as the pivotal transits to his chart occuring now.Sign up for the (R)Evolution Rising Astrology for the Zeitgeist summit: https://www.radiantastrology.com/summit2025Learn more about Sherene Vismaya at: https://sherenevismaya.com/
So many high achievers do the “right things.” They read the books. They practice breath work. They follow the morning routines. They “hack” their productivity. All of these things can make them feel calmer, more in control, and more focused. Until chaos erupts, and you find yourself back in your same-old destructive patterns and emotional loops. Why does this happen? Because most personal development is only surface level. And since it's only surface level, as soon as your deeper parts get triggered, they act in the only way they know how. In other words, falling back into the same emotional loops is a sign that you haven't deeply healed your inner system yet. That's the bad news. The worse news?Doing more of the “right things” cannot fix these deeper wounds. In fact, they'll only make them worse. But in today's episode, you'll discover how you can actually heal these deeper wounds and finally integrate all of your parts into a harmonious inner system. It's the only proven way to permanently stop repeating the same destructive patterns. Listen now. Show Highlights Include: The cold, hard truth about why the personal growth changes you make never last (1:02) Carl Jung's secret for healing your emotional world and actually making it stick (5:04) Why making your inner critic shut up actually delays your healing journey (and why listening to it can finally make it stop sabotaging you) (5:32) The "Internal War” trap that leads to burnout, rage, and self-destruction (7:52) Here's what you can expect to feel on a daily basis when you fully integrate your parts (14:05) How high achievers actually make their work, their relationships, and their life harder (and the only proven way to get out of your own way) (14:55) For more about David Tian, go here: https://www.davidtianphd.com/about/ Want more success in leadership, deeper connections, or a greater sense of fulfillment?

En esta plaza singular que es X, donde las palabras son estoque y los argumentos muleta, vamos a presentar a dos invitados de lidia mayor. Y lo haremos con el lenguaje de los ruedos, no por folclore, sino porque nada como la tauromaquia para retratar el valor, el estilo y la acometida con que estos dos tuiteros se enfrentan a las fieras del pensamiento dominante. Aquí no hay paseíllo por cortesía: entran directamente a los medios, desafiando a la plaza. Dos espadas de la palabra digital, dos figuras que no rehúyen ni el quite ni el embroque: Vaitovek a vuelto @Vaitovekisback y el periodista y escritor Manuel Valera @mmvaleraes. Cada uno, con su capote de opiniones afiladas, lidia en la plaza virtual con un estilo propio: Vaitovek corta con derechazos polémicos, desafiando narrativas sociales y políticas, mientras Valera traza naturales profundos, embistiendo contra el poder y la censura con una faena que busca el clamor del tendido. Por desgracia mucho del publico se encuentra todavía en sombra y ni los ve ni comprende su toreo. Son maestros que, con sus publicaciones, torean el albero de las ideas, dejando huella en cada pase para quienes siguen sus lances en esta plataforma. El primero en salir al ruedo es el diestro @Vaitovekisback, que no se anda con tanteos: entra de frente y por derecho, con una faena cargada de arrestos y verdad. «Como saben quienes me leen soy ateo. Pero además tengo sentido de la justicia e instintivo gusto por dar de hostias a los matones. Y hoy está claro que los católicos son especie perseguida, por tanto este diablo ateo fostiara siempre que pueda a quienes les ataquen injustamente.» Desde los primeros lances ya se ve que no es torero de salón. Con el capote bien asentado y los pies clavados en la arena, suelta verónicas afiladas que cortan el aire de lo políticamente correcto. «Qué hasta los cojones estoy de la moralina hipócrita del "odio". Si alguien viola a tu hija o te incendia tu casa y no le aborreces con todo tu ser y no descansas hasta hacer justicia y castigarle exactamente como merece, al milímetro, ESTÁS MUERTO IMBÉCIL.» Sus muletazos —con carga polémica— no esquivan las zonas calientes: feminismo, victimismo, moralina hipócrita, plandemias, holocuentos… «Soy incapaz de expresar lo increíblemente harto que estoy del supremacismo victimista, histérico, llorica, hipócrita, despótico y lunático de la gran mayoría de las mujeres, las cuales se han vuelto, feministas y no, absolutamente insoportables en todo y para todo.» No hay quite templado ni media verónica para el lucimiento. Aquí cada pase es una estocada a la línea de flotación de los discursos dominantes. Habla de la pandemia como una farsa sin ruedo, de las vacunas como veneno con etiqueta oficial, y de las élites como resabios de inquisidores modernos. «Operación COVID: Sólo hay un crimen más execrable y perverso que envenenar masivamente a la población de medio mundo, niños incluidos, a saber: Hacerlo engañándoles, convenciéndoles de que el veneno es una vacuna contra una enfermedad fantasma inventada y representada al efecto.» Como buen matador de fondo, no rehúye el tercio de varas: se planta y aguanta los pitos del respetable que no quiere ver como flojean al toro, y lanza pases largos a la inmigración subvencionada, a la corrupción mediática y a lo que él llama "el culto al gilipollas". «¿Asesinar al Presidente del Gobierno de otro país para promover un cambio de régimen conforme a los intereses del tuyo es un golpe de Estado extranjero o una "transición política pacífica y modélica”?» Sus reflexiones sobre inmigración, con las que apunta a las subvenciones como cómplices de salarios rácanos, o sus desplantes a los medios tradicionales, comparados con un culto ciego, levantan polvareda en los tendidos. «Soy "racista". Y estoy orgulloso de serlo. Y voy a por los hideputas racistas musulmanes, judíos y de toda laya que están jodiendo a mi gente. Y tú no eres "racista" sino un pobre gilipollas nenaza que piensa que si les chupas la polla lo bastante la cosa no será tan mala.» Desde 2023 hasta este julio de 2025, nunca ha salido por la puerta de chiqueros: siempre está al sol, toreando en abierto. «Qué interesante sería un estudio exhaustivo sobre la relación matriz-filial entre logias masónicas (y think thanks, fundaciones, etc. asociados) y partidos políticos, comenzando por las Rev. inglesa, francesa, americana, bolchevique, etc. hasta nuestros días.» En resumen, un torero bronco y con raza, que no busca trofeos fáciles sino remover los cimientos. Y tras el primer toro arrastrado ya por las mulillas, aparece de luces Manuel Valera, que le cae como anillo al dedo, con el porte y la gallardía que mandan los cánones del arte taurino. ¡Ole maestro! grita un exaltado desde el tendido nada más ver como se echa la muleta a la izquierda con serenidad y temple. Su estilo no es el del golpe seco, sino el del pase largo y profundo, con hondura crítica y aroma de disidencia ilustrada. Celebra el despertar colectivo frente a narrativas como la pandemia o la ingeniería climática. «Ahora estamos mal, pero estamos mejor que antes, porque antes estábamos bien, pero era mentira. No como ahora, que estamos mal pero es de verdad.» Hay en sus tuits algo de vieja escuela, como los naturales de Curro Romero o los cambios de mano de Rafael de Paula: no muchos, pero cada uno deja eco. Sus mensajes destilan propósito, convicción y una pulsión ética que no necesita ruido para ser contundente. «Un propósito en la vida. Una misión. Tomar lo tuyo como un monacato, levantarte y ponerte a ello sin que nada sea capaz de pararte.» Desde 2022 aqui en Twitter, y con especial fuerza en este 2025 donde nos regala su Nautilus todos los días, su faena se ha centrado en desenmascarar el relato oficial, denunciar la ingeniería social y reivindicar la lucidez como forma de resistencia. «La risa deshace el miedo, provoca que se tambaleen los cimientos del poder y libera a los presos del terror.» No rehúye ni el tercio de muerte: entra a matar con la palabra justa. Acusa a farmacéuticas, a gobiernos, a medios, y a quienes siguen el rebaño por inercia. Y si en la plaza hay censura, la señala con precisión quirúrgica. «La gente empieza a hablar abiertamente de invasión, de ingeniería climática, del robo de todos los políticos, del veneno de las farmacéuticas... Quizá esté siendo tan progresivo que no se haya notado, pero vaya cambio desde 2020. Ningún disidente se vuelve obediente. Sí al revés.» En sus crónicas, los poderosos son criminales, los ciudadanos despiertan, y el cambio ya está en marcha. Su muleta no busca el aplauso fácil: busca verdad. «Están pataleando inmersos en el barro, literal y figurado, de su miseria moral. A los que os acabáis de dar cuenta de que nos gobiernan criminales, a nivel mundial, y son todos, sólo deciros que eso es lo que muchos llevamos diciendo desde hace tanto.» Pero —¡ay!— como en toda buena corrida, llega el momento de cambiar de tercio. Y es entonces cuando estos dos toreros, que han dominado la plaza con arte y arrojo, se transfiguran en toros. Dejan el traje de luces y se desvisten en pelo negro de Miura: bravos, astifinos, impredecibles. Vaitovek se crece al castigo y embiste con la mirada fija en el burladero de lo correcto. Valera, encastado, mete los riñones con cada tuit y no deja un metro sin pisar en el redondel del pensamiento. Y aquí estoy yo, capote en mano, dispuesto a recibirlos a puerta gayola. Sí, porque en este Spaces, los lances serán míos. Aqui estoy plantado en el centro de este coso digital, dispuesto a templar sus embestidas, a sacarles pases por bajo, a dejarme rozar la taleguilla si hace falta, y a buscar, en cada frase, ese olé que nace del buen toreo. El respetable está listo. La plaza de X vibra. Que suene el clarín: empieza la entrevista. ………………………………………………………………………………………. He elegido esta estructura taurina para presentar el Spaces del día 22 a las 22 horas porque, más allá del arte del toreo, este encuentro es un pequeño homenaje al glorioso Dúo Sacapuntas, ese par de genios del humor que todos recordamos vestidos de toreros en el mítico Un, dos, tres. Y por supuesto porque se, Manuel, que tu eres un grandísimo aficionado. Porque sí, amigos, cuando uno ve a @Vaitovekisback y @mmvaleraes juntos en acción, no puede evitar pensar en aquel inolvidable “¡cómo estaba la plaza, abarrota!”, y su archifamoso 22, 22, 22. Aunque aquí en vez de chistes vienen derechazos dialécticos y naturales argumentativos. Así que prepárense, que el tendido digital se viene arriba… ¡y sin falta de subirse al carro de las mulillas que aqui no va a servir ninguno para hacer rabo de toro! ………………………………………………………………………………………. "Las mentes grandes discuten ideas; las mentes promedio discuten acontecimientos; las mentes pequeñas discuten sobre personas.” Eleanor Roosevelt ………………………………………………………………………………………. Bueno, ya sabéis que no creo en casualidades, así que hayamos coincidido los tres en un dia 22 a las 22 horas me indica una sincronización muy importante en nuestros caminos ya que este numero está cargado de una energía especial ligada a la construcción, el poder y el cumplimiento de metas. Ya sabéis que una de las cosas sobre las que hablo es la numerologia, lo hice en mi primer libro sobre Blasco Ibáñez, explicando un poco como en numerología están los números básicos que van del 1 hasta el 9 y luego números especiales que no se pueden reducir a una sola cifra, números llamados “maestros” como el 11, 22, 33. El número maestro 33 combina los poderes más competentes de expresión y realización (la del número 3) con el maestro y el tutor por excelencia, el 6. El rosario islámico tiene 33 cuentas. En la mitología hindú el 33 expresa perfección. Una de las cifras preferidas de todo masón que se precie y que desea lucir dentro de su estrella de seis puntas. Su verdadera esencia constituye la última etapa en la evolución espiritual, el Maestro de maestros. El 33 es el número maestro que en su perfección no se puede transformar en un 6. Tenemos un 6 infértil, un 6 egoista, un 6 que no es humano sino inhumano, del demonio del ego. Para el que no lo sepa este número representa la edad de la Maestría en la Iniciación de Jesús (su muerte, resurrección y ascensión), aparte de otros detalles esotéricos. El "33" simboliza el grado alto de consciencia espiritual por parte del ser humano”. Ese 33 representa plenamente a Blasco Ibáñez, en su maestría, en su autoidolatria, en su soberbia que lo impulsaba a ganar más y más dinero. Cuando hablamos de masones, y Blasco lo era, el 33 es el número de los maestros iniciados, el más alto grado dentro de la masonería. Y para ellos son muy importantes las columnas del templo. En la numerología caldea, cada letra del alfabeto porta un valor numérico que revela significados profundos y conexiones místicas. Las palabras Jachim y Boaz, nombres de las emblemáticas columnas del Templo de Salomón, encarnan un simbolismo poderoso ya que si sumamos el valor de cada una de sus letras nos dará el número 33, considerado un número maestro en diversas tradiciones espirituales como he dicho antes. Pero es que tenemos también el 11, ya que cada columna podría ser representada por un uno de forma individual. Curiosamente en la biblia, en Reyes 7 se describe la construcción del templo y termina hablando de ellas en el verso 22. Siendo estos los versos 21 y 22: «Estas columnas erigió en el pórtico del templo; y cuando hubo alzado la columna del lado derecho, le puso por nombre Jaquín, y alzando la columna del lado izquierdo, llamó su nombre Boaz. Y puso en las cabezas de las columnas tallado en forma de lirios, y así se acabó la obra de las columnas.» Jachim, que representa la fuerza, la estabilidad y el principio activo, y Boaz, que simboliza la sabiduría, la receptividad y el equilibrio, se alzan como guardianas del equilibrio cósmico en el umbral del templo. Que ambas palabras converjan en el valor 33 no es casualidad: este número, asociado con la maestría espiritual, la compasión y la elevación de la conciencia, refleja la unión armónica de lo divino y lo terrenal. Así, Jachim y Boaz no solo custodian la entrada al espacio sagrado, sino que invitan a quienes las contemplan a integrar la dualidad en un camino hacia la iluminación, resonando con la vibración de la perfección espiritual que encarnan el 11, el 22 y el 33. Pero vamos a dejarnos de zarandajas y descorrer de par en par el velo que guardan estas dos columnas. ¿Por dónde empezamos? ………………………………………………………………………………………. Del 11 y del 33 se ha hablado mucho, pero a menudo dejamos en segundo plano al segundo número maestro por excelencia: el 22. Este número no solo posee una vibración poderosa, sino que también está profundamente enraizado en múltiples tradiciones espirituales y sistemas esotéricos. El 22 guarda una conexión simbólica con los 22 Arcanos Mayores del Tarot, que representan el viaje del alma hacia la conciencia plena, así como con las 22 letras del alfabeto hebreo, fundamentales en la Cábala. Esta antigua tradición mística asocia el número con los 22 senderos que conectan los diez sefirot del Árbol de la Vida, canales por los que fluye la energía divina y que reflejan etapas del crecimiento espiritual y humano. En la Biblia, este número aparece implícitamente a través del simbolismo de las 22 letras hebreas, mientras que en el hinduismo, se relaciona con las 22 consonantes fundamentales del sánscrito, cada una portadora de resonancias sagradas utilizadas en mantras y rituales. Asimismo, en la cultura china y el feng shui, el 22 se considera un número auspicioso que representa doble bendición, éxito, y una profunda armonía entre el cielo y la tierra. Numerológicamente, el 22 es conocido como el "Maestro Constructor", ya que combina la intuición y sensibilidad del número 2 con la fuerza práctica y estructuradora del número 4 (2 + 2 = 4). El 2 es la pareja, la dualidad y el cuatro es la casa donde esta pareja criara a sus hijos. Esta dualidad le permite convertir sueños elevados en realidades tangibles, construyendo sobre cimientos sólidos. Es un número que conjuga la visión con la acción, la espiritualidad con la materia, lo abstracto con lo concreto. Quienes vibran con el 22 poseen un potencial excepcional para planificar, liderar y materializar proyectos de gran escala que tienen un impacto positivo y duradero en la sociedad. Son visionarios pragmáticos, dotados de una capacidad singular para traducir ideales en estructuras estables, ya sea en el ámbito social, político, artístico o espiritual. Sin embargo, esta energía también conlleva un reto: el peso de su propio potencial. La presión por alcanzar metas elevadas puede generar bloqueos, inseguridad o una tendencia al perfeccionismo paralizante. Por ello, el 22 exige madurez emocional, firmeza interior y una fuerte conexión con un propósito superior. Solo así puede desplegar toda su fuerza constructiva sin caer en la dispersión. En su expresión más elevada, el número 22 representa la sabiduría aplicada, el servicio desinteresado y la construcción de un legado que trasciende al individuo. Es un puente entre lo divino y lo humano, entre la idea y la forma. Un número reservado para aquellos llamados a dejar una huella profunda en el mundo, no solo con sus acciones, sino también con su visión de futuro. ………………………………………………………………………………………. Os voy a leer 22 axiomas alquímicos que dan mucho que pensar: 1.Nada resiste a la voluntad del hombre cuando conoce la verdad y quiere el bien. 2.Querer el mal es querer la muerte. Una voluntad perversa es el comienzo del suicidio. 3.Querer el bien con violencia es querer el mal; pues la violencia produce el desorden y el desorden el mal. 4.Se puede y se debe aceptar el mal como medio del bien; pero es necesario ni quererlo ni hacerlo, de otro modo se destruiría con una mano lo que se edificaba con la otra. La buena fe no justifica nunca los malos medios; ella los corrige cuando los sufre y los condena cuando los toma. 5.Para tener derecho de poseer siempre es necesario querer pacientemente y por largo tiempo. 6.Pasar su vida queriendo lo que es imposible de poseer siempre es abdicar la vida y aceptar la eternidad de la muerte. 7.Cuanto más la voluntad salta obstáculos más fuerte resulta. Por eso Cristo glorificó la pobreza y el dolor. 8.Cuando la voluntad se dedica al absurdo, queda reprobada por la eterna razón. 9.La voluntad del hombre justo es la voluntad de Dios mismo y es la ley de la Naturaleza. 10.Por la voluntad la inteligencia ve. Si la voluntad es sana, la vida es justa. Dios ha dicho: «Que la luz sea», y la luz es. La voluntad dice: «Que el mundo sea como yo quiero verlo», y la inteligencia lo ve como la voluntad ha querido. Es lo que significa la palabra “Así sea”, que confirma los actos de fe. 11.Cuando se forman fantasmas, se llena el mundo de vampiros; precisa alimentar esas puerilidades con pesadillas voluntarias en las que intervienen la sangre, la vida, la inteligencia y la razón sin saciarlas jamás. 12.Afirmar y querer lo que debe ser, es crear; afirmar y querer lo que no debe ser, es destruir. 13.La luz es un fuego eléctrico puesto por la naturaleza al servicio de la voluntad; ilumina a los que saben emplearla, quema a los que abusan de ella. 14.El imperio del mundo es el imperio de la luz. 15.Las grandes inteligencias cuya voluntad no se equilibra bien, se parecen a los cometas, que son soles abortados. 16.No hacer nada es tan funesto como hacer mal; pero es más cobarde. El más imperdonable de los pecados mortales es la inercia. 17.Sufrir es trabajar. Un gran dolor sufrido es un progreso realizado. Los que sufren mucho viven más que los que no sufren. 18.La muerte voluntaria por abnegación no es un suicidio; es la apoteosis de la voluntad. 19.El miedo es solo una pereza de la voluntad y por ello la opinión difama a los cobardes. 20.Llegad a no temer al león y el león os temerá. Decid al dolor: quiero que seas un placer y llegará a ser, no solo un placer, sino hasta más que un placer, una dicha. 21.Una cadena de hierro es más fácil de quebrar que una cadena de flores. 22.Antes de clasificar a un hombre como feliz o desgraciado, sabed que es lo que ha hecho con la dirección de su voluntad. ¿Sabéis quién escribió estos 22 principios? Pues nada más y nada menos que el ocultista francés Alphonse Louis Constant, más conocido como Eliphas Levi (1810-1875), sí, el del baphomet. Este escribió su famoso libro, en realidad son dos, Dogma y ritual de la Alta Magia y lo estructuró en 22 capítulos, paralelos a las cartas de Tarot, y que además de sus hechizos, talismanes, amuletos e invocaciones, contiene una serie de conocimientos arcanos y estas 22 proposiciones para mejorar como seres humanos. Me he leido entero dogma y muy poco el denominado ritual, aunque os digo que contienen mucha información respecto de la magia blanca y la magia negra, pactos con el demonio, nigromancia, y los peligros de introducirse en estos ámbitos sin los conocimientos adecuados. ………………………………………………………………………………………. Y como hago a veces, hoy nos vamos a despedir el programa con algunas citas, por supuesto de nuestros dos invitados. Empezamos con Váitovek y esta demoledora y potencialmente problemática cita sobre uno de los tabúes de nuestro tiempo, los judíos: «El judaísmo bíblico es supremacismo racista absoluto. Su deidad tiene como objetivo EXPRESO para su pueblo el saqueo, esclavización y exterminio final de todas las naciones, ie, de TODO EL MUNDO. Ergo es con mucho la ideología más criminal, execrable y deforme de la historia.» Le toca el turno a Manuel Valera, casi mi tocayo por parte de apellido, que lleva deleitándonos con su Nautilus desde 2015, que a modo de cuaderno de bitácora nos cuenta todos los días lo que siente un escritor de la mejor forma que sabe hacer, escribir: «La risa deshace el miedo, provoca que se tambaleen los cimientos del poder y libera a los presos del terror. Con cada carcajada se escucha el sonido de las cadenas que caen y el estruendo de los muros de las prisiones mentales, deshechos. Por eso al que manda le viene mal que la gente ría libremente.» No tengan miedo y cuiden de sus familias, esa es mi cita recurrente para despedir estos Spaces…hoy, además, les dejo con una de Carl Jung, psiquiatra y psicoanalista suizo, fundador de la psicología analítica, simplemente para hacerles pensar: «Ningún árbol puede crecer hasta el cielo a menos que sus raíces lleguen al infierno.» ……………………………………………………………………………………….

Send us a textIn this episode, I explore some of the ideas that Carl Jung expounds upon in his 1933 book, "Modern Man in Search of a Soul." There's the notion that we cannot fully accept others unless we've fully accepted (i.e., loved) ourselves; that the parts of ourselves we deem unacceptable will be banished to the unconscious and wreak havoc in ways we can't control, while we WOULD have more control if we accepted them; that "certainties can arise only through doubt"; and that problems are necessary; problems are what necessitate our growth and expansion. I also talk about what it means to "be oneself" if that self is always changing, like a river. And I discuss the concept of everything containing its opposite, and why I no longer ascribe to the popular Buddhist belief that man's "true nature" is loving-kindness and compassion.

In this conversation with Nir Menussi, I found myself reflecting on how much of my life has been about trying to reconcile two worlds: the depth of Torah and the pull of everything outside it. We spoke about the lived application of Kabbalistic ideas, and it hit a familiar nerve. For a long time, I believed I had to choose one world or the other.Growing up, the message was clear. Everything outside of Judaism was unholy. The books, the music, the teachings. All of it. So when I started finding meaning beyond the boundaries I'd been given, I assumed it meant I had to leave Judaism behind.For me, real healing began when I stopped separating the two.We talked about Carl Jung and how voices outside our tradition can still stir something deeply Jewish. I've experienced that firsthand. Truth showing up in places I never expected. When the conversation turned to psychedelics, it got even more personal. I've seen them used as an escape hatch, a way to dodge pain. But I've also seen what happens when there's real intention and the courage to integrate the experience afterward. The visions aren't the healing. The healing is what comes after, when the lights are off and you're left facing yourself.We covered a lot. The sparks Kabbalah says are hidden in all things. How sometimes the least likely path becomes the most revealing. Nir and I didn't align on everything. Jung felt more mutual than psychedelics. But we found shared ground in the ongoing search for G-d's voice, speaking through all parts of life.I hope you enjoy the conversation. And if Nir's work resonates, check out his books and his podcast. I've been listening regularly, and I'm learning a lot.See you on the other side,Eli

Today's Lake and Shed framed conversation is once again about the fifth Cormoran Strike novel, Troubled Blood. Nick discusses Rowling's history with the Clerkenwell neighborhood. John talks about Troubled Blood as a double re-telling of The Faerie Queene, Book One, with Strike and Margot as the Redcrosse Knight and Oonaugh and Robin as Una.New to the Lake and Shed Kanreki Birthday series? Here's what we're doing:On 31 July 2025, Joanne Murray, aka J. K. Rowling and Robert Galbraith, will be celebrating her 60th birthday. This celebration is considered a ‘second birth' in Japan or Kanreki because it is the completion of the oriental astrological cycle. To mark JKR's Kanreki, Dr John Granger and Nick Jeffery, both Nipponophiles, are reading through Rowling's twenty-one published works and reviewing them in light of the author's writing process, her ‘Lake and Shed' metaphor. The ‘Lake' is the biographical source of her inspiration; the ‘Shed' is the alocal place of her intentional artistry, in which garage she transforms the biographical stuff provided by her subconscious mind into the archetypal stories that have made her the most important author of her age. You can hear Nick and John discuss this process and their birthday project at the first entry in this series of posts: Happy Birthday, JKR! A Lake and Shed Celebration of her Life and Work.Tomorrow? Our first look at Christmas Pig with both Nick and John talking about the Blue Bunny. Stay tuned!Links to posts mentioned in today's Lake and Shed conversation for further reading:* The Clerkenwell/Islington Gate of St John (Twitter Header)Faerie Queene!John Granger:* How Spenser Uses Cupid in Faerie Queen and Its Relevance for Understanding Troubled Blood* Reading Troubled Blood as a Medieval Morality PlayElizabeth Baird-Hardy* Day One, Part One: The Spenserian Epigraphs of the Pre-Released Troubled Blood Chapters* Day Two, Part Two: The Spenserian Epigraphs of Troubled Blood Chapters Eight to Fourteen* Day Three, Part Three: The Spenserian Epigraphs of Troubled Blood Chapters Fifteen to Thirty* Day Four, Part Four: The Spenserian Epigraphs of Troubled Blood Chapters Thirty One to Forty Eight* Day Five, Part Five: The Spenserian Epigraphs of Troubled Blood Chapters Forty Nine to Fifty Nine* Part Six: The Spenserian Epigraphs of Troubled Blood Chapters Sixty to Seventy One* Spenser and Strike Part Seven: Changes for the BetterBeatrice Groves* Trouble in Faerie Land (Part 1): Spenserian Clues in Troubled Blood Epigraphs* Trouble in Faerie Land (Part 2): Shipping Robin and Strike in the Epigraphs of Troubled Blood* Trouble in Faerie Land (Part 3): Searching for Duessa in Troubled BloodThis is a tentative listing by category of the posts at HogwartsProfessor about Troubled Blood. There's much more work to do on this wonderful work!1. Chiastic StructureRowling's fixation on planning in general and with structural patterns specifically in all of her work continues in Troubled Blood. From the first reading, it became apparent that in Strike5 Rowling-Galbraith had taken her game to a new level of sophistication. She continued, as she had in her four previous Strike mysteries, to write a story in parallel with the Harry Potter septology; there are many echoes of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the fifth and equivalent number in the Hogwarts Saga, in Troubled Blood. Just as Phoenix was in important ways a re-telling of Philosopher's Stone, so Troubled Blood also echoes Cuckoo's Calling — with a few Stone notes thrown in as well. The new heights of Rowling's structural artistry, though, extend beyond her patented intratextuality; they are in each of Strike5's first six parts being ring compositions themselves, the astrological chart embedded in the story chapters, and the six part and two chapters correspondence in structure between Troubled Blood and Spenser's Faerie Queen.* Structure Part One* Structure Part Two, Notes Two to Six* Structure Part Three, Notes One to Three* Structure Part Four, Notes One to Three, Eight, and Ten* Structure Part Five, Notes One to Four, Nine* Structure Part Six, Notes One to Four* Structure Part Seven, Ring Latch, Story Axis* Astrological Clock Structure of Troubled Blood* Career of Evil Echoes* Order of the Phoenix Echoes* Cuckoo's Calling Echoes* Philosopher's Stone Echoes2. Literary AlchemyPer Nabokov, literary artistry and accomplishment are known and experienced through a work's “structure and style.” Rowling's signature structures are evident in Troubled Blood (see above) and her characteristic hermetic artistry, literary alchemy, is as well. Strike5 is the series nigredo and Strike and Robin experience great losses and their reduction to their respective and shared prima materia in the dissolving rain and flood waters of the story.* Strike's Transformation* Robin Ellacott and the Reverse Alchemy of the First Three Strike Novels* Lethal White as the Alchemical Pivot of the Strike Series* The Wet Nigredo: Troubled Blood's Black Names, Holiday Three Step, and Losses3. Psychology/MythologyRowling told Val McDermid that if she had not succeeded as a writer than she would have studied to become a psychologist:V: If it hadn't worked out the way it has. If you'd sat there and written the book in the café and nobody ever published it, what would you have done with your life, what would you have liked to have been?JK: There are two answers. If I could have done anything, I would have been really interested in doing, I would have been a psychologist. Because that's the only thing that's ever really pulled me in any way from all this. But at the time I was teaching, and I was very broke, and I had a daughter and I think I would have kept teaching until we were stable enough that we were stable enough that I could change.Because of her lifelong study and pre-occupation with mythology, it is fitting that in Strike5 readers are confronted with a host of references to psychologist Carl Jung and to a specific Greek myth which Jungian psychologists consider essential in understanding feminine psychology. All of which leads in the end to the Strike series' equivalent of the Hogwarts Saga's soul triptych exteriorization in Harry, Hermione and Ron as Body, Mind, and Spirit, with Robin and Strike as Handless Maiden and Fisher King, the mythological images of anima and animus neglected and working towards integration.* Carl Jung and Troubled Blood* A Mythological Key to Cormoran Strike? The Myth of Eros, Psyche, and Venus* The Anima and Animus: The Psychological Heart and Exteriorization of the Cormoran Strike Novels4. Valentine's DayThe story turn of Troubled Blood takes place on Valentine's Day and the actions, events, and repercussions of this holiday of Cupid and Heart-shaped candies, not to mention chocolates, shape the Robin and Strike relationship drama irrevocably. Chocolates play an outsized portion of that work symbolically, believe it or not; the word ‘chocolate' occurs 34 times in the first four Strike novels combined but 82 times in Troubled Blood. I explore the importance of this confection in two posts before beginning to explain the importance and appropriateness of Valentine's Day being the heart of the story, one that is in large part a re-telling of the Cupid and Psyche myth.* Troubled Blood: Interpreting the Poetry of Cormoran's Five Gifts To Robin* Troubled Blood: Poisoned Chocolates* Troubled Blood: The Secret of Rowntree* A Mythological Key to Cormoran Strike? The Myth of Eros, Psyche, and Venus5. Edmund Spenser's Faerie QueenTroubled Blood features several embedded texts, the most important of which is never mentioned in the book: Edmund Spenser's Faerie Queen. Serious Strikers enjoyed the luxury of not one but two scholars of Edmund Spenser who checked in on the relevance and meaning of Rowling's choice of the greatest English epic poem for her epigraphs, not to mention the host of correspondences between Strike 5 and Queen. Elizabeth Baird-Hardy did a part by part exegesis of the Troubled Blood-Faerie Queen conjunctions and Beatrice Groves shared her first thoughts on the connections as well. Just as Lethal White's meaning and artistry is relatively unappreciated without a close reading of Ibsen's Rosmersholm, so with Strike 5 and Faerie Queen.* Spenser's Faerie Queen (Above)6. The GhostsRowling's core belief is in the immortality of the soul and her favorite writer of the 20th Century is Vladimir Nabokov, whose work is subtly permeated by the otherworldly. No surprise, then, that Troubled Blood is haunted by a host of ghosts, most importantly the shade of Margot Bamborough but to include the women murdered by Dennis Creed and Nicolo Ricci. Their influence is so obvious and so important that it has spurred discussion of the spectres that haunt the first four Strike novels whose presence had not been discussed prior to the revelations of Strike 5.* Troubled Blood: The Dead Among Us* The Ghosts Haunting Troubled Blood* The Ghosts Haunting Cuckoo's Calling, Silkworm, Career of Evil, and Lethal White7. The NamesThe Cryptonyms or Cratylic Names of Troubled Blood are as rich and meaningful, even funny, as those found in Lethal White. From Paul Satchwell's “little package” to Roy Phipps as the Spanish King Phillip, from the nigredo black elements of Bill Talbot and Saul Morris to the Spenserian echoes of Oonaugh Kennedy and Janice Beattie, and the Rokeby-Oakden coincidences, Strike5 is full of name play. Did I mention that the detectives solve the mystery largely through their exploration of names? Douthwaite and Oakden only pop-up after Strike has revelations consequent to serious reflection on their names and pseudonyms. Rowling-Galbraith really wants her real-world readers to be reflecting on the Dickensian names of all her characters.* The Cratylic Names of Troubled Blood: A Top Twenty Round Up8. The Flints and GaffesRowling commented in one of her interview tableaus for Troubled Blood that she had worked extra hard to get the dates right in this most complicated of novels and that her proof reader and continuity editor found a big mistake. Serious Strikers, though, were left crying “Alas!” and laughing aloud at the number of bone-headed gaffes in The Presence's longest work to date. It remains her best as well as her longest book to date, but, really, get the woman the help she needs to comb the book for errors pre-publication. Can you say, “Isla”?* Troubled Blood: Flints, Errors, and Head Scratchers* Troubled Blood Gaffes: A Second Look at Ages and Dates9. The AstrologyThe principal embedded text in Troubled Blood, the one Robin and Cormoran read repeatedly, create keys for, and discuss throughout the book, is Bill Talbot's ‘True Book.' It features an astrological chart for the exact time and place of Margot Bamborough's disappearance in 1974, which map Talbot used to try and solve the case. Strike is profoundly disgusted by this approach but spends, as does Robin, much of his time trying to figure out the chart or at least what Talbot made of it. Troubled Blood, consequently, turns into something of an exploration of astrology and its relevance to understanding ourselves and the world. Unpacking what Rowling means by it, not to mention what the natal charts of Robin and Cormoran tell us about these charactes, their relationship, and Rowling-Galbraith's intentionally hermetic artistry, is a large part of the exegetical work to be done on Troubled Blood.* Nick Jeffery: Troubled Blood — The Acknowledgements* Part Three, Note Five* Troubled Blood: Strike's Natal Chart* Astrological Clock Structure of Troubled Blood* Astrological Allegorical: The Sun Signs of Characters in Troubled Blood* A Second Look at Talbot's Chart: What Does it Reveal to the Unbiased Eye?10. The Tarot Card SpreadsWe know that Rowling has significant skills when it comes to astrology. What is less well appreciated is that almost from childhood she has played with tarot card reading which knowledge has informed her work. This is comic in Trelawney, say, but comes to the fore in Troubled Blood‘s card spreads: the Celtic Cross in Talbot's ‘True Book,' his embedded three card spreads in the illustrations of that tome, and Robin's two readings, one in Laemington Spa and the other in her flat at story's end.* Part Three, Note Six* Part Four, Note Five* Part Five, Note Five* Part Six, Notes Five, Six, Eight* Bill Talbot's Tarot: The Embedded Occult Heart of Troubled Blood* Robin Ellacott's Tarot: The Missed Meanings of Her Twin Three Card Spreads in Troubled Blood11. Who Killed Leda Strike?To Rowling-Galbraith's credit, credible arguments in dedicated posts have been made that every person in the list below was the one who murdered Leda Strike. Who do you think did it?* Jonny Rokeby and the Harringay Crime Syndicate (Heroin Dark Lord 2.0),* Ted Nancarrow (Uncle Ted Did It),* Dave Polworth,* Leda Strike (!),* Lucy Fantoni (Lucy and Joan Did It and here),* Sir Randolph Whittaker,* Nick Herbert,* Peter Gillespie, and* Charlotte Campbell-Ross12. Embedded TextsAll of Rowling's novels feature books and texts, written work as well as metanarratives, with which her characters struggle to figure out in reflective parallel to what her readers are trying to do with the novel in hand. Troubled Blood is exceptionally laden with these embedded texts. Beyond Talbot's True Book and Spenser's Faerie Queen noted above, we are treated to selections from The Demon of Paradise Park, Whatever Happened to Margot Bamborough?, Astrology 14, and The Magus.13. The Murderers: Creed and BeattieA demon-possessed psychopath and the brain-damaged lonely woman… Each is described as “a genius of misdirection” and being without remorse or empathy. The actual murderers in Troubled Blood are distinct, certainly, but paired as well, as one of the many mirrored pairs in this story.14. FeminismTroubled Blood, Rowling has said, is a commentary of sorts on changes in the history of feminism. It is an unvarnished, even brutal exploration of the heroic age of the feminist movement, its front and back, largely through the personalities, circumstances, choices, and experiences of two pairs of women, Margot Bamborough and her plucky Irish side-kick Oonaugh Kennedy and the paired through time couple of Irene Bull-Hickson and Janice Beattie.15. Rokeby 3.0Jonny Rokeby makes his first appearance, albeit only by phone call, in Troubled Blood and yet it has reset thinking about Strike and his biological father considerably. Kurt Schreyer thinks the head Deadbeat is more Snape than Voldemort — and, if this is the case, we need to re-read the series to see how much Strike's emotional injuries from childhood neglect have misshaped his understanding of his dad so he lives in upside-down land.* Guest Post: Rokeby Redux – Is Strike's Father More Snape than Lord Voldemort?

Today's Lake and Shed framed conversation is about the fifth Cormoran Strike novel, Troubled Blood. Nick discusses Rowling's history with the divinatory art of astrology and the occult resources and reference works she brought into play in writing a novel whose primary embedded text is a murder scene's astrological chart. John talks about the astrological clock structure of twelve houses in which Galbraith tells this remarkable story.New to the Lake and Shed Kanreki Birthday series? Here's what we're doing:On 31 July 2025, Joanne Murray, aka J. K. Rowling and Robert Galbraith, will be celebrating her 60th birthday. This celebration is considered a ‘second birth' in Japan or Kanreki because it is the completion of the oriental astrological cycle. To mark JKR's Kanreki, Dr John Granger and Nick Jeffery, both Nipponophiles, are reading through Rowling's twenty-one published works and reviewing them in light of the author's writing process, her ‘Lake and Shed' metaphor. The ‘Lake' is the biographical source of her inspiration; the ‘Shed' is the alocal place of her intentional artistry, in which garage she transforms the biographical stuff provided by her subconscious mind into the archetypal stories that have made her the most important author of her age. You can hear Nick and John discuss this process and their birthday project at the first entry in this series of posts: Happy Birthday, JKR! A Lake and Shed Celebration of her Life and Work.Tomorrow? Another look at Troubled Blood, this time with an introduction to Rowling's ties to Clerkenwell from Nick and with John making a case for reading Troubled Blood as a re-telling of Spenser's Faerie Queene, Book One, with Strike and Margot as the Redcrosse Knight and Robin and Oonaugh as Una. Stay tuned!Links to posts mentioned in today's Lake and Shed conversation for further reading:* Nick Jeffery: Troubled Blood — The Astrologers in the Acknowledgements* J. K. Rowling, Author-Astrologer, Pt 1: How Did We Not Know About This?* Troubled Blood: Strike's Natal Chart* Astrological Clock Structure of Troubled BloodThis is a tentative listing by category of the posts at HogwartsProfessor about Troubled Blood. There's much more work to do on this wonderful work!1. Chiastic StructureRowling's fixation on planning in general and with structural patterns specifically in all of her work continues in Troubled Blood. From the first reading, it became apparent that in Strike5 Rowling-Galbraith had taken her game to a new level of sophistication. She continued, as she had in her four previous Strike mysteries, to write a story in parallel with the Harry Potter septology; there are many echoes of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the fifth and equivalent number in the Hogwarts Saga, in Troubled Blood. Just as Phoenix was in important ways a re-telling of Philosopher's Stone, so Troubled Blood also echoes Cuckoo's Calling — with a few Stone notes thrown in as well. The new heights of Rowling's structural artistry, though, extend beyond her patented intratextuality; they are in each of Strike5's first six parts being ring compositions themselves, the astrological chart embedded in the story chapters, and the six part and two chapters correspondence in structure between Troubled Blood and Spenser's Faerie Queen.* Structure Part One* Structure Part Two, Notes Two to Six* Structure Part Three, Notes One to Three* Structure Part Four, Notes One to Three, Eight, and Ten* Structure Part Five, Notes One to Four, Nine* Structure Part Six, Notes One to Four* Structure Part Seven, Ring Latch, Story Axis* Astrological Clock Structure of Troubled Blood* Career of Evil Echoes* Order of the Phoenix Echoes* Cuckoo's Calling Echoes* Philosopher's Stone Echoes2. Literary AlchemyPer Nabokov, literary artistry and accomplishment are known and experienced through a work's “structure and style.” Rowling's signature structures are evident in Troubled Blood (see above) and her characteristic hermetic artistry, literary alchemy, is as well. Strike5 is the series nigredo and Strike and Robin experience great losses and their reduction to their respective and shared prima materia in the dissolving rain and flood waters of the story.* Strike's Transformation* Robin Ellacott and the Reverse Alchemy of the First Three Strike Novels* Lethal White as the Alchemical Pivot of the Strike Series* The Wet Nigredo: Troubled Blood's Black Names, Holiday Three Step, and Losses3. Psychology/MythologyRowling told Val McDermid that if she had not succeeded as a writer than she would have studied to become a psychologist:V: If it hadn't worked out the way it has. If you'd sat there and written the book in the café and nobody ever published it, what would you have done with your life, what would you have liked to have been?JK: There are two answers. If I could have done anything, I would have been really interested in doing, I would have been a psychologist. Because that's the only thing that's ever really pulled me in any way from all this. But at the time I was teaching, and I was very broke, and I had a daughter and I think I would have kept teaching until we were stable enough that we were stable enough that I could change.Because of her lifelong study and pre-occupation with mythology, it is fitting that in Strike5 readers are confronted with a host of references to psychologist Carl Jung and to a specific Greek myth which Jungian psychologists consider essential in understanding feminine psychology.

“Will men be able to give up toying with the idea of another war? It is now a question of existence or nonexistence. . .For the danger that threatens us now is of such dimensions as to make this last European catastrophe [i.e., World War II] seem like a curtain-raiser.” Carl Jung, Epilogue to “Essays […] The post The Psychology of War – Are We Doomed to Destroy Ourselves? first appeared on Academy of Ideas.

In this episode of the RockneCast, I dive into Rule 8 from Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos—and wow, did it hit home. The rule? Tell the Truth, or at Least Don't Lie. Here's my confession: I'm a liar (and you might be too). But not in the obvious way, like saying one thing while knowing the opposite is true. On pages 214 and 215, Peterson unpacks a deeper kind of lie—the one where we betray our authentic selves. It's those moments of quiet desperation when we hide our deepest fears from the people we love most, on the issues that matter most. This failure to be real creates an undercurrent that silently erodes our relationships. In this episode, we'll explore insights from Kierkegaard, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, and Carl Jung—all packed into just two pages of this incredible book. Man, I wish I'd read this sooner! Join me as we unpack the power of truth and the cost of failing to express our authentic self.
In this powerful episode of the Mindset Matters podcast, Patrick and Steffany take a deep dive into a topic that touches every aspect of our daily lives: the ego. Titled Partner With Your Ego, this conversation explores what it really means to stop battling your ego and instead learn how to understand it, work with it and grow through it. Patrick opens by reframing the ego as neither friend nor enemy but as a lifelong companion. Together, they explore insights from leading thinkers like Eckhart Tolle, Dr. Gabor Maté, Michael Singer, Carl Jung, Richard Rohr and Brené Brown. Each expert offers a fresh lens: Tolle reminds us the ego clings to false identities and craves being right, while Maté reframes the ego as a protective child shaped by early environments. Singer calls the ego our restless inner narrator, Jung invites us to integrate our shadow selves and Rohr highlights the masks we wear to seek approval and control. Patrick and Steffany unpack how our need to be right, loved or in control often reveals hidden fears and old wounds. They challenge listeners to ask what their ego is still protecting and how old patterns may be blocking deeper connections, success and peace of mind. Steffany shares how small moments of self-awareness - noticing when we defend ourselves, seek control or put on masks - can create profound shifts. They urge listeners to question their identity, drop the armor and stand firm in their authentic values. If you're ready to shift from fighting your ego to partnering with it for growth, clarity and real connection, this episode delivers wisdom, laughter and practical tools to help you show up as your truest self.
In this episode Laura and Maria meet with the renown Laurence Hillman to explore how astrology and dream interpretation can work together. They look at the world of archetypes, as developed by the hallmark theories of Laurence's famous father, James Hillman, a protégé of Carl Jung and author of The Soul's Code. Laurence himself has pioneered the use of archetypal work in astrology and dreams, working with businesses and organisations around the world on personal development and leadership programmes. As a professional archetypal coach he specializes in helping clients, whether individual or corporate, understand their deeper purpose in life's calling through these challenging times. ** And DR Hillman is coming to the DRI in London on Tuesday, August 26, 2025 to run a workshop on the whole subject of astrology and Dreaming. Check out the DRI website driccpe.org.uk for tickets ** In the episode the team reflect how celestial archetypes, like the Sun and Moon, in someone's astrological chart can create a story about the person's character which will then surface in dream time to deepen the interpretation. They look briefly at Laura's Sun and Moon positions in her chart and Maria recalls how she had a prophetic dream that led her to tracking down Laurence Hillman and finding out more about Laurence's work. Laurence has written several successful books including Planets in Play, How to Reimagine Your Life Through the Language of Astrology and is the co-author of Alignments, How to Live in Harmony with the Universe. And also the co-author of The Archetypes at Work, Evolving Your Story, One Character at a Time.

What happens when a rigid devotion to rules, order, and perfection replaces our ability to feel, connect, and live? In this episode, we explore two moving character studies from Fredrik Backman's novels A Man Called Ove and Britt-Marie Was Here. Through Ove and Britt-Marie—both fictional but deeply familiar—we see the beauty, heartbreak, and potential of the obsessive-compulsive personality. These stories show what can go wrong when emotional life is outsourced or buried—and what can go right when we begin to reclaim it. From tragic emotional isolation to unexpected transformation, this conversation offers insight, humor, and hope for anyone trying to loosen the grip of perfectionism.

Bioneers: Revolution From the Heart of Nature | Bioneers Radio Series
By around 2044, the U.S. will become a majority-minority nation. This seismic demographic shift has triggered a cultural earthquake, provoking a radical spike in hate crimes. In times of massive disruption and economic stress, what Carl Jung called the “shadow side of the psyche” comes into play: the pronounced psychological tendency in the collective psyche is to project these shadow qualities with unusual potency onto whomever people see as “the other.” But is there also a deeper story? Perhaps the question to ask is: Who benefits? In this half hour, we hear from Heather McGhee of Demos. She sees a direct connection between today's extreme inequality and this peak moment of racial panic and white anxiety. This is an episode of the Bioneers: Revolution from the Heart of Nature series.

Hey love. I'm running an experiment that proves "perfect" is a scam the world plays you.What if the essence of "BE-ing COMPLETE" is the real superpower?What is perfectionism, really?FIRST ETYMOLOGY. I've created a habit of looking at teh true essence of a word, to remove the evolution of “SPELLS” that change the words meaning over years of interpretation. Looking back to the early 13th century, “perfection” meant a consummate, finished state—something so excellent that nothing was lacking, nothing left to desire.It was about flawlessness, COMPLETION.But as the centuries rolled on, perfectionism shifted into something more: a relentless urge for flawlessness, correctness, for achieving some outer standard set by invisible authorities.Here's the BIG POINT:Perfectionism has become a tool of “power dynamics.”We internalize the idea that we have to prove our worth by performing—by living up to someone else's idea (OR OUR OWN CRAZY EXPECTATIONS) of perfect action.Standards get set outside of us, and we start dancing to their tune.We're told the rules, we're graded, measured, always aiming for the bar that keeps moving just out of reach.It permeates systems of achievement, the workplace, religion—almost everything is rigged to constantly pull us outside of ourselves for validation.So, what happens?We slowly start to negate our own inner truth.The 1-800-MUST-BE-PERFECT calls the subconscious and the internal search for self-worth gets wrapped up in a neverending chase for approval and flawless performance, always determined by someone or something else.Even as we begin our spiritual journeys and start trusting ourselves a little more, those ingrained habits of judgment—the old right-and-wrong, good-and-bad mindset—can keep us trapped.Essentially, you're living outside-in.TRUST ME. There's another way to release this unconscious rat race destroying your joy.As we peel back these layers, something transformational begins to happen.We rediscover discernment.Unlike judgment, which is harsh and external, discernment is about witnessing what's true for us in each living moment.It's subtle but profound: a felt sense, a resonance, an inner alignment.Instead of asking, “Am I perfect?” we start to ask, “Am I complete, right now?”When we let go of perfectionism as some external finish line, we step into participation with life that is whole, balanced, and authentic.We become the authority of our own experience, finding completion in the present, even when things are messy or unfinished on the outside.So, here are the questions that become our new compass:What do I want, truly?How do I begin now?What's my next step?Am I complete in this experience, in this moment?When judgment drags us out of presence, we can gently come back to these questions—back to ourselves.The difference is subtle but life-changing.Here's a simple example:Let's say you bought a course because a friend insisted it would change your life.You started, but then got busy, or distracted by another book or podcast.Guilt whispers, “I spent the money, I should finish.”But if you pause and ask, “Am I complete with this, right now?”, the experience stops being a test of failure or worth.It just becomes an experience—not another metric to judge yourself by.This shift—this move from outward striving to inward knowing—has deep roots in the history of spiritual wisdom.In ancient times, this was known as Gnosis.The word “Gnosis” simply means knowledge, but in Gnostic traditions, it carries a far deeper meaning: it's the intuitive, experiential knowledge of the soul, the direct knowing of our spiritual essence.Gnostics understood that true liberation wasn't about following commandments and dogmas set by institutions, but about discovering the divine spark within ourselves—an inner truth found in lived experience and contemplation.Contrast this with the outward focus of, say, the Ten Commandments of Christianity, which for millennia have drawn lines between inner and outer truth, between personal knowing and external authority.Much of what we call religious “truth” was actually a way of placing authority outside the individual, of hiding the deeper, direct knowing that is available to each of us.As we reclaim our birthright of Gnosis, we step into a very old, and very radical, way of being.It is not new; it is ancient wisdom that's simply been forgotten, or hidden just below the surface.In the Gnostic texts—like the Gospel of Philip—we see a completely different map for awakening.The focus is on inner knowledge, not just faith or ritual.The Kingdom of God is not some future place, but an awakening within—a recognition that the “Light of Christ,” or the divine spark, lives in every person.True transformation is not about perfect behavior or future salvation; it's about finding resurrection and newness of life within, while we're still alive.One of the most beautiful teachings ascribed to Jesus in these texts is:“I am the light that is of all; I am everything: everything has come out of me and everything has returned to me.Cut a tree, I am there; lift up a stone, and you will find Me there.”This is an invitation beyond dogma and duality.It's a call to recognize that inner light—something the gospel of John echoes: “There was the true Light, which gives light to every man who comes into the world.”Ironically, as faith became institutionalized, this inner way was often suppressed.The experience of God as directly knowable was sidelined, replaced with belief in outward forms.Carl Jung warned us that if religion is just faith and belief in stories, but doesn't touch our souls and awaken us from within, then “nothing of any importance has happened.”So, what's the antidote?It's coming HOME to ourselves.Feeling complete in the moment—being present to our truth, our balance, not someone else's version of perfection.Myths, as Jung also said, become dead if we stop living in relationship with them—if they no longer grow and give us answers from within.So as we move forward, we're called to become spiritual adults—responsible for our own relationship with divine reality, yet humble in the vastness of what we cannot know.We discover not just ancient wisdom, but a way of living that transforms both ourselves and our world.We become participants, not subjects; whole, not perfect.Remember:YOUR soul is a unique perspective of Creation.Our journey isn't about meeting a standard of perfection set by others, but about cultivating ever-deeper levels of discernment and presence—refining our truth from the inside out, moment by moment.The paradox, of course, is that the more we surrender the quest for perfection, the more whole and complete we become—right here, right now.Thanks for listening.If this episode sparked something in you, I invite you to pause for a moment, breathe, and ask yourself—not “Am I perfect?”, but “Am I complete in this moment?”There's your answer.Blue Skies, KassandraThe Light Between is a reader-supported publication.

Trong mỗi chúng ta, đều có một vùng “hoang nguyên” – một miền đất mênh mông không tên cần được chữa lành, một miền đất nằm ẩn trong tầng sâu thẳm nhất của nội tâm. Đó không phải là nơi ta có thể nhìn thấy bằng mắt thường, nhưng là nơi ta luôn mang theo, dù có đang sống, đang thở, hay đang bước giữa dòng đời. Có người đi qua hoang nguyên ấy trong giấc mơ. Có người, như Dylan, nhân vật trong cuốn tiểu thuyết nổi tiếng “Người dẫn hồn”, chỉ nhận ra nó sau cái chết.Nhà tâm lý học Carl Jung từng nói:"Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes."(“Ai chỉ nhìn ra bên ngoài thì đang mơ; ai nhìn vào bên trong mới thực sự tỉnh thức.”)Đây không chỉ là một câu chuyện hư cấu, mà là một hành trình mà tác giả muốn nhắn nhủ và nhắc nhở tất cả chúng ta về sự tỉnh giấc, về nỗ lực chữa lành và dũng cảm quay về bên trong. Một hành trình mà biết đâu, chính bạn cũng đang và sắp đi trên con đường ấy.......Mời bạn lắng nghe chia sẻ hôm nay!-------------------------Nếu bạn muốn mua sách giấy để đọc, có thể ủng hộ Better Version bằng cách mua qua đường link này nhé, cám ơn các bạn!

Ever think about someone you haven't spoken to in years, then they call you? You're not imagining things. Carl Jung called these meaningful coincidences "synchronicities," and believed they reveal something profound about reality itself. The universe isn't random chaos—it's an organized, responsive system that actually listens to human consciousness. From CIA experiments with psychic spies to ancient traditions that taught reality-bending techniques, the evidence suggests our thoughts influence the physical world in ways science is just beginning to understand. Twin boys separated at birth who lived identical lives, a balloon that traveled 140 miles to find another girl with the same name, and quantum physics experiments that prove consciousness affects matter. These aren't just stories. They're glimpses into how reality really works - and how you can learn to influence it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FpxLpEzJpAs SOURCES & LINKS • Project: STARGATE.

This episode dives into the brutal, mind-altering experience of spending 60 days alone in Antarctica, and how extreme suffering became a catalyst for spiritual awakening, peak performance, and deep inner peace. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with elite adventurer, Marine Corps veteran, and Fearvana founder Akshay Nanavati, who dragged a 420lb sled solo across Antarctica in a brutal test of endurance, fasting, and spiritual transformation. Akshay shares how he used suffering as a tool to transmute PTSD, expand consciousness, and awaken what he calls the “paradox of oneness”—where discomfort unlocks the deepest joy. Together, they explore how cold therapy, isolation, and extreme hardship reshape dopamine, mitochondria, neurochemistry, and the stories we tell ourselves. Akshay's journey through darkness retreats, trauma healing, and polar expeditions opens a raw and unfiltered look at self-quantification, mental resilience, and human performance at the edge. This episode will challenge your assumptions about comfort, suffering, and what it means to live fully awake. Whether you're optimizing for longevity, exploring consciousness, or breaking free from invisible scripts, this conversation blends science, spirituality, and hardcore biohacking with moments of unexpected humor and wisdom. You'll Learn: • How intentional pain resets your dopamine response and boosts performance • Why Akshay chose fasting and cold exposure over nootropics and psychedelics • How darkness retreats and solitude sharpen consciousness and intuition • The neuroscience behind pain, trauma, and transformation • Why true freedom lies in facing discomfort—not avoiding it • How to find God in suffering and create meaning from chaos Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

He's the son of Timothy Leary and one of today's leading voices in the psychedelic renaissance of the 21st century. But Zach Leary's journey hardly unfolded in the way you might expect. In this deeply informative and myth-busting podcast, Tami Simon speaks with Zach about his new book with Sounds True, Your Extraordinary Mind. With a "friend to friend" approach to discussing the amazing potential for the safe use of psychedelics, Tami and Zach converse about: carrying forward the legacy of the front-runners of psychedelic exploration, including icons like Terence McKenna, Humphry Osmond, Dr. John C. Lilly, and of course, Zach's father Timothy and Richard Alpert (Ram Dass); acknowledging the mistakes of the past and dispelling the myths and misconceptions about psychedelics; bringing legitimacy to the use of psychedelics for healing and insight; a review of the major compounds and their sources (natural and manmade), such as MDMA, psilocybin mushrooms, ayahuasca, LSD, and ketamine; the importance of the 3 S's: set, setting, and sustainability; turning insights into action; challenging experiences (instead of "bad trips"); Carl Jung and shadow work; using psychedelics to overcome our fear of death; Zach's personal battle with addiction and how psychedelics supported his recovery; the nature of consciousness; psychedelics as humanity's evolutionary partner; and more. Note: This episode originally aired on Sounds True One, where these special episodes of Insights at the Edge are available to watch live on video and with exclusive access to Q&As with our guests.
