No other podcast has this! https://economist.com/TOE This podcast explores the uncanny link between two of the twentieth century's great visionary works. Becca Tarnas, assistant professor at the California Institute of Integral Studies, joins to discuss her doctoral research into the parallels between Carl Jung's Red Book and J.R.R. Tolkien's lesser-known visionary writings. The central claim: working independently, both men produced strikingly similar imagery, timing, and figures — Jung's Philemon and Tolkien's Gandalf, the Eye of the Evil One and the Eye of Sauron — while each insisted their material felt discovered rather than invented. From there the conversation moves through active imagination, the reality of archetypes, psyche versus mind, and the line between mystical insight and psychosis — a wide-ranging look at where imagination ends and reality begins.

Engels, Silvia www.deutschlandfunk.de, Interviews

Robert Forte has been at every major inflection point of the psychedelic movement for half a century, and he is skeptical of where it is going. That skepticism, coming from someone who knew Wasson, Hofmann, Grof, and Eliade personally. Forte brings a rare formation to this conversation: graduate training in religious studies at the University of Chicago under Mircea Eliade, decades of work with the foundational figures in psychedelic scholarship, phenomenological site work in Greece, and the republication of The Road to Eleusis — the thesis that seeded the most popular book in the current psychedelic renaissance. He is a historian of religion who has lived inside the territory he studies. This conversation opens with a Sufi tale about "changed waters" — a story about what happens when an entire culture shifts its baseline of perception and the one person who held onto the old water eventually drinks the new, because the loneliness of being different became unbearable. Forte has used this story to frame his entire body of work. From there we move through his formation: a childhood mystical experience by a stream, a turning point in a Columbia lecture hall when a professor wrote R. Gordon Wasson on the chalkboard, and the life that followed. We explore the mystery traditions and what secrecy actually protected, the difference between psychedelics as cultural healing and psychedelics as weapon, and the documented record — MKUltra, media promotion, Huxley's dark warnings, and an account linking JFK's alleged psilocybin experience to his 1963 peace speech. We close on what Forte considers the essential question for this moment: how do we cultivate virtue and discernment when the sacred is being commercialized faster than it can be integrated?

In this episode, we delve into the simple yet profound practice of meditation through the lens of a unique approach—staring at the wall. Our guest, Mark Blacknell, shares his journey from chaos to clarity, blending mental health, spiritual tradition, and practical discipline to find inner balance and live more intentionally. This conversation is about turning inward, embracing change, and appreciating the quiet power of presence.Key Topics:How staring at a wall simplifies meditation and enhances focusThe importance of mental health treatment alongside spiritual practiceThe role of shadows and inner voices in self-awarenessBalance as a metaphor for life's constant changeThe danger of gatekeeping in spiritual communitiesThe significance of presence and gratitude in everyday lifeWhere to find Mark:https://stareatthewall.org/Join the Greyhorn Pagans:Patreon: Greyhorn PagansGreyhorn Pagans WebsiteInstagram - Greyhorn PagansTelegram Group - Greyhorn PagansSupport FireFaeBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/greyhorn-pagans-podcast--6047518/support.Subscribe to Patreon for bonus content, early access and more!

In aflevering 18 neemt Arno Roelofs ons mee in een van de kernbegrippen uit de alchemie: de drie oerstoffen zwavel, kwik (mercurius) en zout. Wat ooit letterlijke chemische stoffen waren voor de middeleeuwse alchemisten, blijken symbolen — archetypen — voor processen in de menselijke psyche. Arno legt uit hoe Paracelsus deze indeling introduceerde, hoe Jung er de "middeleeuwse psychologie" in herkende, en hoe je zwavel (het vurige, initiërende, yang), zout (het aardse, vasthoudende, yin) en mercurius (de verbindende, bewuste middenweg) terugziet in je lichaam, emoties en denken. Onderweg passeren onder meer de polyvagaaltheorie, de Chinese filosofie van yin en yang, het christendom, het hindoeïsme en een stukje van esoterische leer van Alice Bailey. In de podcast noemt Arno de volgende boeken: Mysterium Coniunctionis van Jung Alice Bailey (esoterische leer over wil, liefde-wijsheid en intelligentie) Boeken van Karen Hamaker-Zondag De Polyvagaal theorie en zijn eigen boek Psychologie van Accupunctuur Heb je vragen laat het dan vooral weten.

I'm thrilled to be back on the podcast mic again—I've been healing from a double mastectomy and I'm doing well! Thank you to everyone who has been thinking of me. This update covers: the surgery experience, the energy healers and lymphatic masseuse I've been working with, a few essential things I bought for the recovery phase, something my friends did that was a huge help, and the mini revelations that have come to me during this sabbatical of sorts. I'm sharing a bit from the Omega retreat that I hosted with Satya Doyle Byock, a Jung story that set me straight, synchronicities from an oracle deck that I love, and what I'm up to next—now that I've realized I cannot out-robot the robots.

What if trusting life doesn't mean trusting that everything will become stable, coherent, or reassuring? In this episode, Vanessa explores change as both a spiritual and psychological problem: why we confuse trust with continuity, why change can feel like abandonment, and what it means to stay in relationship with reality as it keeps moving. Through Octavia Butler's “God is Change,” Heraclitus, Buddhist impermanence, process theology, attachment theory, meaning-making research, and Jungian transformation, we look at the grief and freedom of releasing the fantasy that life's job is to preserve the forms we love. Trust is not certainty that everything will work out; it is the willingness to remain present with what is real as it changes form.For educational purposes only.

Stewart Alsop sits down with Daniel Freed, forty thousand words deep into a book that ties together consciousness, totalitarianism, archetypes, and religion, and the two spend the conversation tracing how those threads connect. They work through Jungian archetypes as behavioral blueprints embedded in stories across generations, unpacking the father, mother, and son roles and what they reveal about tradition, potential, and the individual. From there they get into Jordan Peterson's model of storytelling as a defense against totalitarian thinking, detour through Buddhism, Taoism, and the idea of the absolute, and Daniel walks through his own attempt to prove the limits of representing consciousness using axioms borrowed from math and logic, including Cantor's diagonal argument. The back half moves into Daniel's math and computer science background, touching on David Hilbert, Von Neumann, combinatorics, and complexity theory, before wrapping up with a look at Stewart's hardware prototyping experiments.Timestamps00:00 Introduction to archetypes, Jung, and why psychologists write dense books00:05 Mother, father, and son as story roles; tradition, potential, and the individual00:10 Totalitarianism, narrative architecture, and Peterson's four degrees of freedom in a story00:15 Objects, relational properties, and why the thing-in-itself breaks down under scrutiny00:20 The absolute, the Tao, and consciousness as a limit you can't directly represent00:25 A proof sketch against representing consciousness; diagonal arguments and formal limits00:30 Relevance realization, Popper, and why consciousness may resist full scientific modeling00:35 Applying the story model to groups: how collective narratives can become totalitarian00:40 Egregores, faith vs belief, and how ideas spread through modern institutions00:45 A turn into math: computer science, injury, Hilbert, and the power of axioms00:50 Quantum math, Von Neumann, and complexity theory as problem reductionKey InsightsArchetypes work like compressed behavioral data. Daniel frames archetypes not as arbitrary symbols but as patterns tested across generations of storytelling — when a story trains believers to kill the father figure and chaos follows, more value gets placed on the father and tradition over time, and the same logic explains why the mother figure comes to represent potential and the son comes to represent the individual.The son-outranks-the-father pattern underwrites Western individualism. Daniel argues that across traditions, the hero figure eventually outranks the established order, and this is the root of ideas like free speech and presumption of innocence — a fundamentally anti-utilitarian stance since it values the single person over the group's interest.Jordan Peterson's four-part story architecture doubles as a defense against totalitarianism. What is, what should be, the path between them, and the unknown or chaos form the minimum structure needed for a conscious being to experience anything as new. Daniel took this framework and applied it to group narratives, showing how holding one element of a group's story fixed while individuals change creates the conditions for totalitarian control.Every property is relational, so there's no "thing in itself." Drawing on Nietzsche, Daniel walks through the idea that qualities like hardness or mass only exist as effects on other things, which means an object stripped of all its relations has nothing left to define it.Daniel built a formal argument for why consciousness can't be fully represented. Using three axioms about distinctions resting within "respects" and borrowing Cantor's diagonal argument, he shows that certain respects can't have a ceiling, meaning any total representation of consciousness runs into the same problem uncountable sets do.Faith and belief are distinct but feed each other. Stewart draws out the difference — belief as propositional, faith as more emotional and fundamental — and Daniel agrees that propositional belief tends to translate into faith once people start acting it out.Daniel's path ran from computer science to math because of a wrist injury. Unable to type, he shifted toward math and ended up carrying over proof techniques from complexity theory and combinatorics into his philosophical work, citing David Hilbert's method of reducing ideas to rigorous axioms as a direct influence on how he now approaches philosophy.

Show Notes:  Kiki (formerly Karen) Snyder shares her 35-year journey since her breakdown at Harvard, which landed her in restraints at McLean Hospital during exams in 1991. She discusses being misdiagnosed as severely bipolar, the 32 years she lost to toxic psychiatric medications, and the self she rediscovered. "Karen was full of fear and anger. Karen wanted to speak to the manager. But Kiki's in charge now. I am the manager." Learn more about her transformation on Instagram at @assignedkarenatbirth and at assignedkarenatbirth.com. From Karen to Kiki Kiki elaborates on her transformation from Karen to Kiki. A massage therapist specializing in Somatic Experiencing taught Kiki that our brains lie to us, our bodies know the truth. Kiki's body clearly told her it was finally time to leave the zip code she'd lived in for 50 years. She describes the upheaval of uprooting from Northern Virginia to coastal North Carolina after her mother's passing, and the impact of that change on her emotional well-being. Facing Pain and Healing from Trauma Kiki discusses the debilitating effects of the psychiatric medications she was on for 32 years and her work to taper off them. She describes the emotional numbness and exhaustion she experienced while on these medications. Kiki explains how getting off the medications allowed her to process trauma and emotions, leading to a significant personal transformation. She emphasizes the importance of sharing her story to help others who may be going through similar experiences. A Career in Social Media  Kiki recounts her career in social media, including her role at AOL in the early days of the Internet.  She describes her work at VeriSign, where she first discovered Web 2.0, which became social media. Her perseverance in the face of resistance resulted in the founding of VeriSign's social media program. Kiki shares her regret at not even considering the offer to relocate to Silicon Valley when the program she founded was moved there. She now realizes that her fear of not being strong enough was fueled by medications and years of being told she was fragile and sick. She discusses her subsequent role at the Federal Aviation Administration, where she founded their social media program.  Layoffs and Life Changes Kiki shares her experience of being laid off from her dream job at a big ad agency on the same day she moved to coastal North Carolina in 2024. Her entire division was cut, an early wave of workers displaced by AI. She reflects on the impact of the layoff, leading to a significant life change. Spirituality and Synchronicity Kiki talks about her interest in spirituality, metaphysics, and Jung's concept of synchronicities. She talks about sharing her story with the world and the positive responses she has received from others. Kiki discusses her efforts to let go of control, a trait she inherited from her former self, Karen.  A Burner Phone and AI "Therapy" Kiki shares her tips for beating her phone addiction. She installed the BePresent app, which helps her limit wasted time on social media. She recommends Claude, the AI chatbot she uses as a sounding board and where she worked through the grief and anger of losing three decades. And most importantly, a second phone. Every night the real phone stays in the kitchen and the "burner" comes to the bedroom, holding only music, an alarm, and the chatbot. Her advice to anyone trying to put their phone down: Get another phone! Harvard Reflections Kiki reminisces about her favorite classes at Harvard, including Irv DeVore's human behavioral biology class and Helen Vendler's poetry class. She shares her fascination with language and culture, particularly the unique language of Gen Z. Kiki discusses her plans to create new content by translating Shakespeare's sonnets into Gen Z slang. She expresses her excitement about learning and exploring new topics, including spirituality and metaphysics.

The binary was never the point. Individualism on one side, collectivism on the other — pick a jersey, join a team. But the line that actually matters runs somewhere else: between a person who has a self and a person who has dissolved into the group. In this episode, Joel and Yerasimos pull the threads on what collectivism is actually doing to the psyche — the altruistic programming that weaponizes moral guilt against your own desires, the truth-seeker community that becomes its own herd, and the envy that surfaces when you watch someone else stop asking permission to live. The conversation moves through Rand's virtue of selfishness, Jung's safe road, and the heroic act of individuation.

Hay partes de nosotros que amamos mostrar. Y hay otras que aprendimos a esconder, rechazar o negar. Jung llamó "sombra" a esos aspectos de nosotros mismos que quedan fuera de nuestra identidad consciente. Y muchas veces, aquello que no reconocemos dentro aparece frente a nosotros a través de nuestras relaciones. La persona que elegimos. Lo que admiramos de ella. Lo que no soportamos. Lo que activa. Lo que duele. Incluso aquello que una relación termina rompiendo dentro de nosotros. En este episodio, Durga Stef habla de la sombra desde un lugar profundamente personal: después de un divorcio y 20 años de matrimonio, observa su propia historia desde una perspectiva distinta. ¿Y si algunas relaciones no llegan únicamente para acompañarnos? ¿Y si también llegan para mostrarnos partes de nosotros que necesitan ser vistas, integradas y liberadas? Tal vez crecer no significa convertirnos en alguien nuevo. Tal vez significa dejar de rechazar partes de quienes ya somos. Nos vemos dentro …

Being with the Body in Depth Psychology: Development, Trauma, and Transformation in the Unspoken Realm (Routledge, 2024), featuring a foreword by Donald Kalsched, examines the integration of the subjectively experienced body in the practice of depth psychology. Barbara Holifield draws from philosophical perspectives, neuroscientific and infant research, developmental theory, and trauma studies to offer a comprehensive overview of embodiment within a relationally based psychoanalytic approach. Clinical vignettes demonstrate the critical value of working with the bodily-felt dimension of implicit relational memory and emphasize how bodily-felt sense facilitates access to feelings. The primacy of bodily-based knowing revealed through infant research illuminates an interior world of sensorial apprehension that conceptually based knowing and psychoanalytic thought often overlook. Furthermore, it establishes the body as intrinsic to relational life. Freud's 1923 statement that “The ego is first and foremost a bodily ego,” is as cogent today as it was then (1961, p. 26). It has only been confirmed by infant research and affective neuroscience. Psychic life is born in the body and is sustained by the body. It is in and through the body that relationship begins. Disruptions in one's earliest relationship with the primary caregiver are synonymous with disruption of the integral unity of psyche and body. Further, the book highlights the organizing role that felt sensation, sensory perception, and affective experience have on facilitating the re-establishment of psyche indwelling the soma. Because disruptions of the felt sense of psyche integral to soma occur in infancy, work of this nature falls out of the purview of traditional psychoanalysis. “It requires instead a working-through focused on the present, on the heart of the analytic relationship, and on the activation of an awareness of one's own inner mode of functioning” (Lombardi, 2017, p. 23). Focus on direct sensorial and relational experience in the body is foundational in working with the analysand's unformulated experience. As this occurs, affects are able to be borne, reflected on, and lived as feelings-in-the-body while simultaneously making way for the establishment of new relational organizations. Throughout the book, clinical examples show how the mythopoetic imagination and soma entwine––at times, attention to the somatic dimension stirs the creative unconscious in the form of dreams, active imagination, artworks, and movement. Reciprocally, the imaginal world informs and stimulates somatic experience. In this way, the mythopoetic reality revealed in a depth analysis weaves somatic experience into a tapestry of personal meaning, facilitating deep psychophysical transformation. Here the body serves as a portal to the numinous––healing that goes far beyond the relief of symptoms to a renewed sense of aliveness. This book offers guiding principles for psychotherapists and clinicians of all levels to engage the bodily basis of experience in their clinical practice. It will appeal to general readers interested in integrating mind and body, including those in the healing arts, fine arts, dance, athletics, meditation, yoga, and martial arts.

Being with the Body in Depth Psychology: Development, Trauma, and Transformation in the Unspoken Realm (Routledge, 2024), featuring a foreword by Donald Kalsched, examines the integration of the subjectively experienced body in the practice of depth psychology. Barbara Holifield draws from philosophical perspectives, neuroscientific and infant research, developmental theory, and trauma studies to offer a comprehensive overview of embodiment within a relationally based psychoanalytic approach. Clinical vignettes demonstrate the critical value of working with the bodily-felt dimension of implicit relational memory and emphasize how bodily-felt sense facilitates access to feelings. The primacy of bodily-based knowing revealed through infant research illuminates an interior world of sensorial apprehension that conceptually based knowing and psychoanalytic thought often overlook. Furthermore, it establishes the body as intrinsic to relational life. Freud's 1923 statement that “The ego is first and foremost a bodily ego,” is as cogent today as it was then (1961, p. 26). It has only been confirmed by infant research and affective neuroscience. Psychic life is born in the body and is sustained by the body. It is in and through the body that relationship begins. Disruptions in one's earliest relationship with the primary caregiver are synonymous with disruption of the integral unity of psyche and body. Further, the book highlights the organizing role that felt sensation, sensory perception, and affective experience have on facilitating the re-establishment of psyche indwelling the soma. Because disruptions of the felt sense of psyche integral to soma occur in infancy, work of this nature falls out of the purview of traditional psychoanalysis. “It requires instead a working-through focused on the present, on the heart of the analytic relationship, and on the activation of an awareness of one's own inner mode of functioning” (Lombardi, 2017, p. 23).

In this episode, I cover: What the Law of Polarity actually says about energy, contrast, and charge — and why relationships without it go flat Jung's anima and animus: the masculine within the woman, the feminine within the man, and why knowing which one leads matters What the wild teaches us about polarity — from lionesses to wolves — and why nothing in nature survives on two things leading in the same direction at once Why a strong woman doesn't need a smaller man — she needs one secure enough that her strength makes him rise instead of react The truth about misogyny: why a controlling, reactive man isn't "too masculine" — he's dysregulated, and fear is wearing masculinity as a costume Why real polarity isn't about who's on top — it's about who's finally free to be fully themselves Key takeaway: Polarity isn't mystical or performative. It's nervous-system level real. And understanding it correctly changes how you read chemistry, safety, and who you choose.

Carl Jung called it “an acausal connecting principle” — but for Dan Ross, a Jungian analyst working in hospice care, synchronicity isn’t just theoretical. In this episode, Dan reveals what thirty years of end-of-life work taught him about Jung’s most misappropriated theory, its roots in Jung’s relationship with physicist Wolfgang Pauli, and why studying synchronicity seems to produce more of it. This episode is rich with poignant examples blended that will leave you thinking differently about how synchronicity works in your own life. Daniel Ross, RN, PMHNP, MSN, MBA has been a nurse for 40 years and in hospice for over 30. As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, he brings both a medical and psychiatric experience to the field of end-of-life care. He is a Jungian Analyst at the C. G. Jung Institute of Chicago where he has been Director of Training in the Analyst Training Program and Co-Director of the Jungian Psychotherapy Program and Jungian Studies Program.

Angelo Musso"Ascendente"Destino, libero arbitrio, psicologia degli archetipiEdizioni Nisrochwww.edizioninisroch.itL'astrologia può essere letta non solo come pratica divinatoria, ma come linguaggio simbolico capace di mettere in relazione esperienza umana, immagini archetipiche e ricerca di senso. In questo volume, Angelo Musso dedica la propria indagine all'Ascendente zodiacale, interpretato come una delle chiavi più significative per comprendere la struttura profonda della personalità.Lontano da una visione rigidamente deterministica, Ascendente considera i segni zodiacali non come forze esterne che dominano l'uomo, ma come immagini interiorizzate, capaci di agire sull'inconscio e di influenzare il modo in cui ciascuno interpreta eventi, relazioni e scelte fondamentali. Attraverso lo studio del segno solare e dell'Ascendente, il lettore viene guidato in un percorso di consapevolezza psicologica e spirituale, orientato alla comprensione delle proprie potenzialità, dei propri limiti e delle proprie risorse interiori.Il libro attraversa le basi dell'astrologia, il significato dell'oroscopo, dello zodiaco, delle case astrologiche e del grafico di nascita; approfondisce poi il rapporto tra Ascendente, destino, libero arbitrio, identità e psicologia. Ampio spazio è dedicato ai dodici Ascendenti, al rapporto con il Discendente e alle 144 combinazioni tra segno zodiacale di nascita e Ascendente. In appendice sono presenti anche tavole semplificate per il calcolo dell'Ascendente.Ne emerge una possibile psicologia degli archetipi astrologici, nella quale destino e libero arbitrio non si oppongono rigidamente, ma si incontrano nel processo di conoscenza di sé.Angelo Musso è psicologo clinico e psicoterapeuta, allievo dell'astrologo Peter Van Wood.

Some of the most respected people in history claimed that information, warnings, visions, or guidance reached them from an intelligence outside their ordinary conscious minds.Socrates trusted a mysterious divine sign that had followed him since childhood. Joan of Arc said saints gave her a mission that changed the course of a war. Carl Jung held conversations with Philemon, a winged teacher who seemed to possess knowledge independent of Jung's conscious personality. Srinivasa Ramanujan believed the goddess Namagiri revealed mathematics to him through dreams. Nikola Tesla detected repeating signals through his experimental equipment and wondered whether another world was attempting contact.In this episode of Idiot Mystic, we examine what these five people actually reported, what their experiences led them to do, and the skeptical explanations involving intuition, dreams, neurological events, cultural expectations, unconscious cognition, and misunderstood technology.Were they encountering God, spirits, autonomous parts of the psyche, extraterrestrial intelligence, or something that does not fit comfortably into any of those categories?Whatever the source, these experiences became entangled with philosophy, warfare, psychology, mathematics, and the early search for intelligence beyond Earth.Maybe the strangest part is not that they believed something spoke to them. It is how much of history changed after they listened.Listen to Idiot Mystic on YouTube and Spotify, and read more at:Website: https://idiotmystic.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/idiotmysticTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@idiotmysticDiscord: https://discord.gg/dXKjhZrZmMShare the episode with somebody who enjoys strange history, spirituality, psychology, paranormal encounters, and questions that refuse to stay inside one explanation.Until next time, take care of yourself, please.

For twenty years I picked the hardest thing in the room and made sure people could see me do it. I called it ambition. It was an eight year old who didn't feel like he mattered, running every decision I made, and I never once heard it. There's a line usually put on Jung. Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will determine your life, and you'll call it fate. This one is about the thing driving you that you can't see. Where it comes from, why self-awareness doesn't catch it, and what it quietly does to a business once it's built one. Then the part that made me want to record it. Every amplifier a business owner has ever held reflects his inner world back at him. Headcount used to. Now AI does, faster, with no sanity check left in the loop. If your thinking is unclear, AI won't fix it. It multiplies it. Inside: the three ways something ends up in your blind spot, how a financial planner worked out he was creating chaos just so he could solve it, and the one thing I'd train before handing your thinking to a machine. Take the assessment I run with every client at tomfoxley.me.

Why are so many political activists crashing into severe burnout and depression? Can the deep psychology of Carl Jung provide a radical toolkit for modern survival without retreating from the fight? In this episode of Varnblog, we sit down with ecotherapist and author Rob Faure Walker to deconstruct his groundbreaking book, Radical Jung .We dive into a mind-bending exploration bridging the Marxist radical imagination with Jungian analytical psychology. Rob shares his personal journey through school teacher union organizing, severe activist burnout, and finding spiritual navigation via dream integration and Gnostic texts. Together, we unpack how modern capitalism has become truly nihilistic, why mainstream psychoanalysis often defaults to isolationist individualism, and how right-wing figures like Jordan Peterson have weaponized and essentialized Jungian concepts on hierarchy and gender .Furthermore, we explore the terrifying intersections of state power, counter-extremism governmentality , and how billionaire techno-oligarchs like Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and Mark Zuckerberg project their own "shadow of privilege" onto marginalized groups while building automated survival bunkers and centralizing control .If you are looking for a deeper psychological toolkit to understand the algorithm's control over our unconscious mind , structural political failure , and the path toward true recovery , this deep-dive conversation is for you.✨ Grab Rob Faure Walker's new book, Radical Jung, out now from Revo Press!Send us Fan Mail Musis by Bitterlake, Used with Permission, all rights to BitterlakeSupport the showCrew:Host: C.

Host Richard Cunningham welcomes co-host John Coleman for July's Marks on the Market, joined by two veteran venture investors: Phil Jung, who helps lead the venture investing business at Sovereign's Capital, and Mark Phillips, co-founder and managing partner at Eleven Tribes Ventures. The panel digs into a historic first half of 2026 for venture capital, the "barbell" strategy reshaping early-stage investing, and why faith-driven investors need to understand both the opportunity and the constraints of the AI boom. Phil and Mark bring an early-stage, seed-focused lens shaped by operator-led, vertically focused founders — from wire harnessing to waste management — while John Coleman zooms out to the macro picture: record public market concentration, a $725 billion capex commitment from the hyperscalers, and the possibility that this technological shift could be ten times bigger and ten times faster than the Industrial Revolution. The conversation closes, as always, with reflections on Scripture and what it means to build — and rest — under God's sovereignty in the middle of historic disruption. Key Topics: A record-breaking first half of 2026: $412 billion invested in venture capital, more than all of 2025 combined The "barbell" approach to early-stage investing: mega AI valuations on one end, capital-efficient vertical AI solutions on the other Why physical products, deep tech, and hard tech are back in vogue after years out of favor Constraints on the AI boom investors should watch: capital expenditure limits, energy demands, and regulatory fragmentation Token costs, open-source models, and who ultimately controls the data Closing reflections from Psalm 127 and John 4 on surrender, weariness, and calling Notable Quotes: "It really is an unprecedented venture market in the moment that we have never seen before." - Phil Jung "Increasingly your software platform, your product is no longer the moat... it's distribution... and then it's integration." - Mark Phillips "We serve a God who's in control, who's unchanging, who created a universe far more complex than anything we're talking about here." - John Coleman

It's not often (ever?) that I get to talk Hegel, Jung, and Goethe with songwriters. But Dragos Chiriac of Men I Trust and I go deep into philosophy in this episode. I am a huge fan of the band and enjoyed our discussion immensely as we discuss the impact these writers have on Chiriac and why he returns to them over and over.Lest you think this episode was all about existential angst, we also discussed the relatively simple reason why the band wrote my favorite Men I Trust song "Billie Toppy."

Registration will close this month for The Tender Harvest, a harvest yoga, meditation, and culinary retreat at world-class Ballymaloe House in County Cork, Ireland. Join this Sept 20-26, 2026, for a time of deep nourishment, learning, and inspiration. Just 2 rooms still available!A dog's retching yanks me from sleep. I've been floating between worlds all night, and suddenly I'm across the room before a thought can take shape. The dense atmosphere of a dream lingers as I kneel to wipe the floor, then thins as my mind reaches for it. I was in a foreign place, though the landscape felt familiar. I was with friends, though they were not themselves. There was a house. The house was a river. Its rooms were water.With a sigh, the dog returns to bed. The house settles back into stillness. I move mutely to my meditation cushion. Incense lit, tea steeping, for a time, I watch tendrils of smoke and steam mingle in the dawning air.Practice teaches us to notice what's here. Gradually, our attention steadies and we begin to perceive what is real—the interplay of spirit and matter, psyche and body—through the tuning fork of our awareness. We grow quieter, more supple, more receptive—less beholden to neurosis and fixed assumptions. What we lose in certainty, we gain in texture and attunement.As humans, especially now, our well-being depends on how honestly we inhabit the faculties of our aliveness. What do we know to be true, and by what inner or outer measure? How much doubt do we allow in the margins of confirmation? What may appear real, yet on closer examination, carries the subtle signature of an illusion? And, inversely: where have we developed trust in modes of knowing that defy rational explanation?In classical yoga philosophy, pramana offers a basic epistemic map. It names three valid sources of knowledge: direct perception (pratyaksha), inference (anumana), and trusted testimony (sabda). I know the river is cold because I have placed my hand in it. I know the river is cold because it flows from glacial melt. I know the river is cold because someone I trust has told me so.Of these, direct perception carries the weight of fact. Yet fact alone does not confer context. The elephant's tail may still seem a pestle to a blind man, as the Buddhist parable goes. Here, the animal's trumpet or a friend's account can augment our own perception. Thus, these three sources of knowledge uphold one another.But in Paris last month, standing beneath Hilma af Klint's paintings at the Grand Palais, I sensed how this era of dissolving certainties is inviting us to loosen and refine our frameworks for human intelligence. Knowing is not the intellect's final stamp of approval. It is a function of our embodied, psychic, and spiritual capacities—and it keeps calling us to widen what we recognize as real.Born in 1862, af Klint painted vast, abstract diagrams of a reality folded within this one: swirls of color, spirals, botanical forms, and galaxies. Her pioneering abstract works, begun as early as 1906, were long kept hidden and revealed only, at her direction, decades after her death. Working with a circle of women known as The Five, she participated in séances where language and image moved through them. One presence, whom she called Ananda, instructed her to create a series of paintings “for the temple.” These “pictures for the future” were meant for the future, for an audience who could see beyond the pastoral and parlor depictions of her time.Standing before af Klint's paintings a century later, I considered what it takes to be faithful to what arrives through intuition—to stake our knowing on image, or symbol, or an inner insistence just beyond explanation.Carl Jung described intuition as that which “mediates perceptions in an unconscious way… and has the character of being given.” Distinguishing it from the more rational functions of thinking, sensing, and feeling, Jung characterized intuition as irrational, bypassing conscious logic to immediately grasp hidden patterns, meanings, and future possibilities.In the years surrounding the First World War, Jung recorded dreams, visions, and dialogues with figures arising from his psyche. He came to understand that aspects of the psyche “produce themselves and have their own life.” The Red Book was later compiled as a document of these encounters and his willingness to be reshaped by them during an epoch of social collapse. His family kept the manuscript hidden for decades, wary of how the public would judge Jung for its contents.Certain ways of knowing do not sit neatly within pramana. They are not quite direct perception, not quite inference, not quite testimony, unless we expand the aperture of perception to include dreams, images, symbols, and phrases that arrive unbidden. These belong to another register, one involving a relationship with what we do not fully understand. A mingling with mystery. A participation.An increasing number of my therapy clients report consulting AI about the emotional content of their lives. I feel ambivalent. On one hand, it seems to help people articulate their inner life with greater clarity and identify practical therapeutic tools. On the other hand, if deferred to prematurely, AI's logic can displace the authority of these clients' own process, pulling them away from their attunement to the questions themselves.As artificial intelligence becomes an ever more seamless extension of cognition, my concern is what happens to the musculature of our knowing. Will we still value entering the river to feel for ourselves? Or standing beneath a painting whose frequency has waited a century to be transmitted? Or cultivating the integration of direct experience, the rigor of inference, and the discernment of who and what we trust?The meaningful questions of our lives ask something of us in return. Some questions are not meant to be resolved or even unveiled too directly. Some things must be distilled in time—granted permission, respect, faithful return, and a tolerance for not yet knowing.Together, we are making sense of being human in an era of radical change.

The Moon pulls the tides of the ocean, but the question that won't let us go is simpler and stranger: what is it pulling in us? Melanie Reinhart joins me for a wide, grounded, moonlit ramble through lunar consciousness, astrology, and the body. We start with the moon as a constant companion for earthlings, a reliable rhythm of waxing and waning that can steady us when life feels politically, personally, and collectively turbulent.From there, we drop into somatic territory. We talk craniosacral therapy and the experience of “tides” in the system, from surface noise to the deeper mid tide and the long tide where time feels different. That becomes a living metaphor for the lunar path: not a heroic push to achieve, but a deepening that restores life force. We also bring in the Orphic Hymn to the Moon as an invocation practice and explore why reverence matters, not as an antique idea but as a way to relate to powers we still live inside.We get practical about moon phases too: the dark of the moon as a window for retreat, the full moon as an emotional amplifier, and how lunar timing can support better choices in work, conflict, learning, and creativity. We move into dreams as night-world digestion, why forcing interpretations can block the nourishment, and how light pollution mirrors a cultural forgetting of darkness, sleep, and imagination. If you care about the lunar cycle, dreamwork, depth psychology, the Jungian unconscious, or the roots of astrology in the night sky, this conversation is for you.*the above blurb was auto-generated by Buzzsprout's AI.Cover Artwork is The Fairy of the moon by Hermann Kaulbach (b&w) circa 1891 with a background extension from Canva.The Orphic Hymns including the one in this episode dedicated to the moon, and the invocation with Musaeus. It's the Thomas Taylor translation from 1792. Melanie's personal favourite.Find out more about Melanie and her work here. She has many great books including, famously, Chiron and the Healing Journey.Melanie reads from:Dane Rudhyar, The Lunation Cycle: A Key to the Understanding of Personality, from the section “The Pattern of the Lunation Cycle.”Rudolf Steiner, “In Pure Rays of Light” The verse appears in Esoteric Instructions (GA 264), with related commentary in an esoteric lesson of 5 December 1907 (GA 266/I).We discuss:Iain McGilchrist's book: The Master and his Emissary and associate right brain activity with the moon and left brain with Mercury.Jung, obviously, comes up a lot. I paraphrase this quotation from him.We also talk about the Tides in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy. If you'd like to know more about that the work of Franklyn Sills (may he rest in peace) is a good starting point.Clearing up the confusion of the 'far side' vs the 'dark side' of the moon we go to NASA...But always appreciative to Pink Floyd for creating such confusion but also such a cracking album.Melanie also mentions the Dark Sky Movement. Such important work. Have a look at darksky.org.We also acknowledge that "mentor" is not etymologically related to Mene or taurus. What we're engaging in during that section is a nice bit of folk etymology.Join the Newsletter!Podcast Musician: Marlia CoeurPlease consider becoming a Patron to support the show!Go to OnTheSoulsTerms.com for more.

Tonight we continue the story of a young and coming of age Jung. We will see how he caught hold of his first professional victim, and how through abuse he sat the standard for every guru and new religious leader to come, in the first decade of that, oh so very abusive, century. How he courted Freud with silky words before saying to much, about his ambitions, his vision for psychoanalysis as a secret society of initiation.We will begin to understand his relationship with Eugen Bleuler, the foremost Swiss psychiatrist at the time, coiner of terms such as schizophrenia and autism, their initial shared passion for eugenics, criminology and the Aryan hypothesis.Initially in the intro, I will take you back once again to the early 1800s to deepen upon a few things, I certainly had enormous fun, finding out about the things that i did end up finding out about, so I recon so shall you.The music interludes throughout the show will be filled with me reading-out-loud the surviving letter correspondence of our characters. It follows its own strict chronology from the first letter up until one of the important breaks even though it might at time be a bit ahead or behind that of our own main story.Please share the show, write reviews, give stars and comment to let us know how what you think! Warm welcomes to another long evening with the Return of the Repressed.

We'll explore the profound psychological affinity between C.G. Jung and Friedrich Nietzsche and position their work as a bridge between philosophy and depth psychology. For this task, I'm joined by Dr. Paul Bishop to discuss his new work, Jung and the Epic of Transformation Volume 3: Nietzsche's “Thus Spoke Zarathustra” and the Challenge of Transformation. He'll analyze the symbolic highlights of Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra, from the “death of God” to the perilous walk of the “rope-dancer,” and their impact on Jung's theories of the collective unconscious. You'll discover how ancient mystery cults and alchemical metaphors of the “green lion” and the “philosopher's stone” serve as archetypal blueprints for modern spiritual renewal. By revealing the “secret” kinship between these two sons of clergymen, we'll provide a visionary guide to navigating the depths of the human soul in a secular age.

What is the goal of psychoanalysis? Is it greater self-knowledge, or the recovery of our capacity simply to be?In this third Freudian/Jungian conversation with psychoanalyst Donald Carveth we explore Winnicott's notion of the true self alongside Jung's understanding of the Self, individuation, and the religious attitude. We discuss conscience and the superego, the image of God (imago Dei), love, community, and why Jung increasingly turned toward Christianity in his later work.The two earlier Freudian/Jungian conversations are found here and here.For more psychoanalytic thinking visit Don's youtube page.

Matt and Michael wrestle with a question that has been hanging over both of them. Why have they stopped paying attention to the news? Is that a good thing or a bad thing? They land on the idea of a Cartesian crisis. Nobody trusts anything anymore. Every headline is met with an actually from someone who thinks they have the real truth. They explore how skepticism can lead to nihilism or to wisdom, and why character assassination has replaced actual argument. Then things get interesting. The conversation turns to what it means to truly love someone versus simply labeling them, why we have lost the definition of racism, and how dress codes and tattoos are really just signals we send to the world about who we want to be. They contrast David Bowie and Bob Dylan as two models of subversion, one grounded and one spinning off into the void. They talk about Jung, individuation, and why growing up means learning to reincorporate what you once rebelled against. And they end with a story about a fake recruiter that captures just how deep the trust crisis really goes. Cheers y'all

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

Midlife Sexuality & Open Relationships (Season 6 | Episode 246) with Dr. Rosalyn Dischiavo Embracing Your Act 3: Sexuality, Identity, and the Golden Shadow [AMIR] Welcome back to The Open Nesters Podcast blog! We are your hosts, Tessa and Amir, and today we are taking a dive straight into our archives to revisit one of our most profound, perspective-shifting discussions. In this special episode, we welcome back Dr. Rosalyn Dischiavo—affectionately known as Dr. Roz—founder of the Institute for Sexuality Education and Enlightenment. We sat down with her to unpack the multifaceted transition of “Act 3,” that vibrant, wide-open stage of life that emerges after the kids have left the nest. We are trading empty for open, exploring new adventures, and diving deep into how this phase impacts our sexuality, identity, and personal capacity. Midlife Sexuality & Open Relationships During our chat, Dr. Roz completely reframed the often-stigmatized “midlife crisis.” Rather than a juvenile panic, she aligned with Carl Jung's view that this period is a profound combination of a mortality crisis and an identity crisis. Dr. Roz reminded us that the Chinese word for crisis beautifully combines the symbols for danger and opportunity. Sometimes, our lives require a little bit of ripping apart—or at least some careful dissecting and rearranging—to make room for a genuine biological and spiritual awakening. It is a powerful reminder that our “Act 3” is an opportunity to wake up to our fullest potential. One of the most fascinating concepts we explored is what Jung called the “golden shadow.” Most of us are familiar with hiding our darker, socially unacceptable urges in the shadows. However, Dr. Roz pointed out that we also hide our most enlivening, extraordinary traits—our deep intelligence, our raw sexiness, and our sheer awesomeness. Whether out of genuine humility or a desire for social conformity, we often dim our own light so we do not threaten the status quo. Stepping into our open nester years means finally reclaiming that golden shadow and giving ourselves permission to shine without apology. Exploring Polyamory, Identity & The Open Nest with Dr. Roz As we embrace this new stage, our very identities are often put to the test. Many of us have built our self-concept around being monogamous and faithful parents. But what happens when we decide to open our relationships or explore new erotic themes? Dr. Roz emphasized that identity is inherently fluid, yet challenging our long-held definitions of faithfulness can shake our core values and relationship safety. Whether we view new relationship styles as a capacity, a behavior, or a deep-seated sexual orientation, navigating these waters requires us to openly redefine what loyalty and commitment mean to us and our partners. For those curious about polyamory, swinging, or kink, Dr. Roz offered some incredibly grounding advice: do not just jump in blindly. It is easy to fall into a “kid in a candy store” mentality, but opening a relationship without preparation is a recipe for disaster. We highly recommend starting with books to educate yourselves before attending local meetups or informational munches. And remember, energy, time, and holidays are not infinite! Bringing new people into your life requires intense communication, boundary-setting, and a mutual understanding that you are initially there just to look and learn. We also dove into the fascinating world of core erotic themes, specifically discussing Jack Morin’s four cornerstones of eroticism: longing and anticipation, prohibition, power dynamics, and overcoming ambivalence. Dr. Roz explained how these themes naturally turn up the heat in our relationships. For example, simply experiencing the longing of a partner being on a date with someone else, or the anticipation of trying something taboo like swinging, can reignite passion in existing partnerships. These dynamics push us to look at our desires through fresh lenses, proving that expanding our erotic capacities can make us infinitely more interesting to ourselves and our partners. Of course, you cannot talk about open relationships without addressing the elephant in the room: jealousy. Dr. Roz was adamant that the polyamory community often unfairly shoves jealousy into the shadow, treating it as something uncool to admit. But if left unexamined, jealousy becomes malignant. We must regularly shine a flashlight on it, breathe through it, and use tools like Kathy Labriola's The Jealousy Workbook. True compersion—feeling joy for your partner’s pleasure—is not just a magical feeling of lightness and rainbows; it is an active choice to support your partner even while you are actively processing your own jealous insecurities. Finally, we rounded out our beautiful conversation by discussing the lost art of receiving, the central theme of Dr. Roz’s book, The Deep Yes. As parents and partners, we have spent decades giving from a place of scarcity until we are completely burnt out. Dr. Roz taught us that we must learn to receive fully—whether it is food, sleep, touch, or beauty—until we are so full that our giving simply spills over from a place of natural abundance. We are so grateful for Dr. Roz’s wisdom, and we hope this archive dive inspires you to embrace the fluidity, expansion, and beautiful messiness of your own Act 3!

Meghan's guest this week is Lisa Marchiano—Jungian analyst, author, and co-host of the popular podcast This Jungian Life. She's long been intrigued by Carl Jung's ideas but also found them somewhat elusive. So she asked Lisa to help me understand why Jung resonates so deeply with so many people and why his work feels especially relevant today. They discuss archetypes, the shadow, synchronicity, Jung's break with Freud, and how Jungian psychology can help us make sense of political polarization, ideology, loneliness, and our search for meaning in an increasingly fractured culture. If you enjoyed this conversation, you can continue it in person! Lisa will join us this October at The Unspeakeasy's second annual Small Gathering for Big Ideas in Kingston, New York (October 19–21), alongside John McWhorter.
