In this episode, I sit down with the brilliant Dr. Michael Conforti, Jungian analyst and founder of the Assisi Institute, to explore the intricate interplay between archetypes, dreams, and the unconscious. Together, we delve into how patterns of meaning shape our lives, the role of the collective unconscious in human behaviour, and the transformative power of symbols in guiding us through personal and existential challenges. Dr. Conforti's decades of experience in Jungian depth psychology shine through as he shares profound insights into the mysteries of the psyche and how understanding these universal patterns can foster healing and self-discovery.

Many Americans, world leaders & people everywhere are deeply concerned about what seems to be the mental clarity and fitness of the newly-elected President ofthe U.S.Donald Trump. Without formal means required by law to evaluate Presidential candidates or any other elected official, we rely upon our own sense of assessment as well as those of professionals to arrive at a deeper understanding of what we may be dealing with here.  With numerous nations with nuclear capability, with the mounting effects of Climate Change across the planet such as drought, food shortages, rising sea-levels and numerous wars in motion at any given moment, with the capacity to destroy the world many times over with a few commands, the mental and emotional stability as well as non-reactive, intellectual clarity of the Commander-in-Chief is an absolute necessity.   To discuss this, Mitchell Rabin is joined by a physician, Dr. Rick Lippin, Jungian psychoanalyst, Dr. Michael Conforti and Professor of Psychiatriy at Tufts University, Nassir Ghaemi MD MPH. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/abwmitchellrabin/support

For Beyond 50's "Spirituality" talks, listen to an interview with Michael Conforti of the Assissi Institute. He'll talk about the study of Archetypal Patterns. According to him, it was Jung and von Franz who taught us that not only does patterning occur in the outer natural world, but also within the individual psyche. From fairy tales, sacred texts and our dreams, we find expressions of this inner tendency towards ordering and meaning. These patterns reflect the eternal principles which have influenced life from the beginning of time and remain alive in each of us throughout our lives. You'll also learn about the research done by the Assissi Institute on trauma and the healing of it.

We'll explore with Michael Conforti and Loralee Scott-Conforti how to understand and tap into the creative unconscious, how creativity can be better understood from an interdisciplinary perspective, and the role that archetypes play in creativity. Michael Conforti is a Jungian analyst and the founder and director of The Assisi Institute, and Loralee Scott-Conforti is the executive director of The Assisi Institute, as well as a producer, writer, lecturer and choreographer. The Assisi Institute is an educational center dedicated to the study and application of Archetypal Pattern Analysis.

  After the mass school shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, CT, in December 2013, I moderated a 2-part teleseminar series with Jungian analyst Michael Conforti for the Depth Psychology community and the general public in which we engaged in a depth psychological and archetypal discussion about the event. In preparation, I opened Issue 81 of Spring Journal (2009), a long running publication of Archetype and Culture called "The Psychology of Violence." Inside, I discovered a powerful and intriguing article by psychologist and professor, Glen Slater, entitled "The Mythology of Bullets." In the essay, Slater addresses the major mainstream issues that always arise in such devastating events: gun violence, media influence, and mental health.  However, Slater goes much deeper to look at the archetypal aspects of guns in America, how our inherent cultural roots come into play, and how the uncompromising drive of the American Dream insists we succeed at any cost. This drive enables us to project the causes of our failure onto others; to do whatever it takes to remove the perceived obstacles that have defeated and marginalized us, and to objectify fellow human beings.  More, with little cultural capacity for reflection or container in which we can view our failures, difficulties, sadness, anger, and depression, we reach out for the one mythical object that allows us to regain control--a gun. Join me with Dr. Glen Slater for an engaging and important discussion of the roots of mass shootings and the depth psychological and archetypal aspects of guns in America.Glen Slater Ph.D. holds degrees in Religious Studies and in Clinical Psychology and has taught Jungian and Archetypal perspectives at Pacifica Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara for nearly two decades.

The horrific tragedy in Newtown, CT, has left us all grappling with the trauma of senseless acts of violence perpetrated on the most helpless and innocent among us, our children.

How do we find hope in the horror when tragedy strikes?It was Carl Jung who taught us not a only about the reality of the psyche but also offered up a courageous admission of the reality of evil.
