Wow--this was recorded in 2013? Too bad I'm only seeing it now! But thank you for posting, none the less.

Such wisdom and mind opening words from Dr. Hollis, once again. He seems to speak the things I think, but can not conceptualize through my thoughts, much less words. Thank you. I am always waiting for his next discussions/talks.

Thank you. I just bought the book. Thank you for writing this - this is exactly what I was looking for - but didn’t even know it had a name. So appreciative. Telling your story helps people like me understand my own. Funny how stories translate knowledge in a way that theory simply cannot.

I'm a 70 year old MSW & love to hear Dr. Hollis's lectures. So informative. 😊

Again at 1:30:00 . . . Dr. Stein says, “It’s impossible to have a conv with anyone without it turning into a conv about Trump.” Tragically, my fellow Jungians are complicit in bias by NEVER imagining that Trump is speaking to something important, is saying something true. Jungians need to follow their own advice and integrate what is in opposition.

What an absolutely fascinating comment Dr. Hill makes around the 1:00:00 mark. In discussing how Neumann was strong enough to stand up and challenge Jung - who had his followers and “yes men” around him - Dr. Hill remarks that he wishes someone would do the same to Trump! I will clarify here that I do not like Trump one bit. But the naïveté of Dr. Hill’s remark demonstrates exactly why we are in such a partisan political crisis - and how the Left (and, sadly it seems, my fellow Jungians, generally speaking) has done an abysmal job of looking more deeply at which forces are most dangerous. Trump is the one standing up against an international Order that is corrupt and dangerous - and Order that has so many blind followers and “yes men.” We may not like his mannerisms or personality or the language he uses, but we NEED to understand the Trump phenomenon more than how it appears on the surface. Kamala Harris is much more dangerous, albeit in much different ways.

What a profound lecture, I'm ordering the book...Thank you🙏

Very interesting. Jung interviewed African Witchdoctors. Amazing journey. And he went to church. 🙏

Hollis is such a treasure! I'm so glad we have these videos of him talking about his work for posterity. Such an illuminating lecture. Thank you.

Excellent course. Transformative indeed. Thank you 🙏

The quality of our dreams is both a reflection of our thoughts and actions as well as a general foreshadowing of the fate of our souls in the next life...A nightly, temporary karma that beckons us to change - for the good - so as to avoid a more permanent karma❤️‍🔥 Beauty(🌷)+Complexity(🌎) =Intent(❤️) The Figure 8 Analogy: An analogy on life, death, the dream-state and the symbolism intertwined within the human experience. We human beings are not traveling in the abstract motion of a straight line towards death (for instance, the numerical straight line of say 1-89). Instead, we are moving in the motion of a figure 8. The Figure 8 is a natural repeating pattern that is divided into two halves and is thus the perfect symbol to represent the human life cycle and our two primary states of existence that we are continuously moving in and out of -the Awake state and the Dream state. When we awake from sleep we come full circle to when we fall back asleep (represented by the bottom half of the figure 8 )and when we go into the dream state we come full circle to when we awake from the dream state (represented by the top half of the figure 8 ). Upon death; the figure 8 of life untwines, but it’s not the body untwining from the mind that this analogy represents. It's two states of mind untwining to form a larger state of mind (8-0)… Because the awake state is really a state -of mind, with our body's physical reality "consciously" intertwined; and the dream-state is also a state of mind with our body's physical reality "subconsciously" intertwined. Therefore; upon death, these two states of mind untwine to form a “larger” state of mind. A state that has all the potentialities of the dream-world (flying, telepathy, psychokinesis, etc) combined with all the actualities of the awake world(nature, form, bonds, etc). This I refer to as the transitional analogy. While conceiving The Figure 8 Analogy, I realized life and death must be perceived -from one point of view- as seperate entities(the transitional analogy(8-0), but must also be perceived -from another point of view- as inseparable entities(the symbolic analogy👇), both of which are ultimately linked by the dream-state. The “Symbolic Analogy” consists of the untwined figure 8 of life/the “circle of death” ( O ) abstractly overlapping the ‘circle of life’ (Earth(🌎)with the overlapping area representing the dreamstate-like the common area in a Venn Diagram-and implies that the dream state is just as much a part of life as is of death (by which explains precognitive dreams, prodromal dreams, "visitations" by deceased relatives, etc) for the dream-state has a foothold in the afterlife; and is based on the premise that “while our body sleeps our dream state symbolically represents the state that awaits upon our body's ultimate rest.” In other words, while we are lying down and sleeping/dreaming, this natural process symbolizes where we go when we're ultimately lying down/dead -to a place like our dream-state...A state "of mind” with our body's physical form+Earthly bonds eternally engrained and intertwined. ✋🏻💫👁️~8~👁️💫🤚🏿

Be silent and listen: have you recognized your madness and do you admit it? Have you noticed that all your foundations are completely mired in madness? Do you not want to recognize your madness and welcome it in a friendly manner? You wanted to accept everything. So accept madness too. Let the light of your madness shine, and it will suddenly dawn on you. Madness is not to be despised and not to be feared, but instead you should give it life...If you want to find paths, you should also not spurn madness, since it makes up such a great part of your nature...Be glad that you can recognize it, for you will thus avoid becoming its victim. Madness is a special form of the spirit and clings to all teachings and philosophies, but even more to daily life, since life itself is full of craziness and at bottom utterly illogical. Man strives toward reason only so that he can make rules for himself. Life itself has no rules. That is its mystery and its unknown law. What you call knowledge is an attempt to impose something comprehensible on life. C.G. Jung, The Red Book

“🍄”As I stepped beyond the threshold, I entered another world-like Dorothy walking into Oz. A slight breeze swirled the leaves and branches and blossoms of the garden, brushing the skin on my arms. Soft air and clear light caressed my face. Just then, the music stopped. It took me a moment to realize that the music in my head was actually in my iPod and the iPod must have run out of power. I took out the ear buds and a far more fantastic music flooded in, leaves rustling, birds chirping, insects buzzing, the distant shoosh of tires on the road invisible behind the trees. I sat at the wrought-iron table and put my feet up. The crystalline light astonished me. The air, neither hot nor cold, was invigoratingly dry. I felt energy radiating from my body into the air, mingling with the radiations emanating from all the life surrounding me. I scanned the back yard. The ornamental grasses had begun to shoot out golden tufts; the crepe myrtle, hydrangea, stone crop, petunias and geraniums all had covered themselves in blossoms. Figs grew large and heavy on the fig tree, which exploded tropically in one corner of the yard, and fat red tomatoes swelled on the still leafing vines in another. Tendrils of Virginia creeper and wild grape dripped from the pines across the back fence, persimmons hung from the persimmon tree like Christmas ornaments. I had seen all this the previous morning, and many other mornings before that. But now I had stepped into a page from an illuminated fairy tale. Just as that thought entered my mind, three large yellow butterflies appeared, flitting in spirals around me. I laughed aloud: I was in Oz after all🌄… …I can’t think of any other way to put this but to say the sky opened, and grace poured down all around me. Light itself had transformed into a palpable substance, spilling down as if from a fountain. But it was more than light. It was blessings of every kind, goodness incarnate, flowing inexhaustible and immutable from above. I didn’t say to myself, “What is this?” I didn’t guess. I knew, I saw, I was in the presence of God. This wasn’t a God with whom I could have a conversation, at least not two-way. I think I said, or shouted, “Ok, I am DEFINITELY not an atheist,” but God was mute, or rather, I understood, or perceived, that the only response God would ever make was the boundless bounty of beauty cascading over me. After the shock and awe, my first thought was that this gift absurdly overmatched anything I could possibly have deserved. I thought, and said aloud, “Why me?” Instantly, that seemed too pleased with myself. I could just look at this phenomenon that confronted me, this Niagara Falls of beauty pouring down, and know that I hadn’t been “chosen.” I was no one special. This was just what God was, a permanent condition that somehow had remained invisible to me until this moment..” reset.me/story/tried-psychedelic-mushrooms-35-years-saw-light/🌈 🍂🌄🍄🌄🍂

Im not sure what people hope to achieve by doing this. i struggle with schizophrenia and there is not a lot in the universe that you would want to contact. The "Source of all creation" really is a twisted thing, why would you want to contact the very thing that does so much harm to the world... Iykyk. Ps: this is probably the best and possibly the only way to seek out the Spirit for yourself. PPs: i cant do this method because i am already aquatinted with what people are trying to "summon", thats what your actually doing. If i had my time again, i would keep myself. Not that i ever stood a chance to fight back (i laugh quietly)... Fight god... I did everything i could to get out but all was in vein, so i had to endure. Thatnks for making me feel something. 🤔

2:05 “we are looking into the very bottom portions of the human psyche” but that’s not the case actually as imagination (booze) warps the psyche and does so over time as well. When the scientist said imagination is the greatest thing ever he was either foolish or manipulative both of which deceive even themselves

“the spirit in the bottle” is booze lol

Unbelievably insightful and enlightening information. I am surprised this video doesn't have more views and likes. Thank you ACJ for this content.

Wonderful to hear Andreas, wish the video hadn't been cut up though.

"PromoSM" 😜

It often feels like it is those who are adopted who talk about this feeling of being unwanted but what about the children who grow up with birth parents and yet who still feel unwanted or like they are not supposed to be here or have to somehow fight to feel worthy or like they have to "earn love".

Excellent. Thanks. Great help with my literature analysis channel. I read Jung and Joseph Campbell many years ago, and this is helping me reconnect.

Wonderful lectures, these and the Fairy Tales lectures. They are a great help with my literature analysis channel. Thank you.

Trump is the only anti - war and anti - crime person. I have never expected Salant's views are so flat. Anyways, R.I.P. Nathan, you work enlightened us huge way.

Thanks for this. Very timely after reading an article in Therapy Today 04/24 volume 35 Defeating the Death mother by Julia Vaughan Smith

Excellent lecture. Thank you

Religion is incontestably one of most earliest, and universal, expressions of the human mind - Jung

This is dangerous if you don't have a daimon to intercede between you and the archetypes in the subconscious. I get my gifts through my daemon, and I give him the credit, the gratitude, the recognition. I recovered from BPD enough to be fairly functional as a teacher. My middle name literally came from Goethe.

Outstanding … thank you.

Wow, very exciting to see these works emerging.

No comments? People are so boring. One of the most meaningful films of the 21st century. It should have been at least half as popular as Oppenheimer.

Happy Birthday Murray!!!

happy birthday Murray. your essays in your little book, one the story of the butterfly, sticks with me. and the fact that you were a chicagoan for a time. the Chicago writers, Nelson Algren, Saul Bellow, Mike Royko mean a great deal to me. Poetry writing came to me late in life, so your writing is meaningful to me on numerous levels. Happy birthday Murray. Blacksmith Shop, by Czeslaw Milosz I liked the bellows operated by rope. A hand or a foot pedal - I don’t remember. But that blowing and blazing of fire! And a piece of iron in the fire, held there by tongs, Red, softened, ready for the anvil, Beaten with a hammer, bent into a horseshoe, Thrown in a bucket of water, sizzle, steam. And horses hitched to be shod, Tossing their manes; and in the grass by the river Plowshares, sledge runners, harrows waiting for repair. At the entrance, my bare feet on the dirt floor, Here, gusts of heat; at my back, white clouds, I stare and stare. It seems I was called for this: To glorify things just because they are.

Thank you so much for the opportunity to be part of this wonderful moment. I'm in my 30s, so I will consider myself to the mentioned "younger generation", especially because BTS brought me into contact with Laura London and through her podcast and interviews I got to know Dr. Steins work. His effort to write books dedicated to the younger generation are deeply appreciated, are a great introduction for beginners to Jungs work and are an invitation to go deeper. It was an honor to be with you, I felt welcomed and included. Thank you.

It was an honor to be part of Dr. Stein's birthday celebration. Thank you so much for including me amongst this stellar group!

My favorite bite-“ The central core secret of every fairy tale includes the hero or heroin listening to the unconscious or not listening to ..And in the fairy tale those that do listen to the archetypal unconscious elements usually are rewarded and those that don’t may have tragedies befall them.” (2:00:07)

I've been on the Nigredo phase for God knows how long, and i can't seem to move forward. And i'm in such state of desperation that i fear madness or suicide. I'm overwhelmed by all the information i've consumed, all the books, all the articles, all the videos. Most of them are very insightful but i can't interiorize anything. My inner critic is very powerful. If anybody can lend a hand with any recommendation you may have, i'd appreciate it deeply.

Thank you!!

The “god” of evil-angelicalism (first concocted by the likes of Calvin, Luther, Spurgeon, et al) was never much more than a giant Egodaddy in the sky who anticipated Herr Drumpf by about 400 years. Voltaire rightly declared that if God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him, so when Nietzsche eulogized the death of this vacuous Protestant pastiche of a deity, evangelicals were left bereft. The emergence of Drumpf was a necessity to fill the god-sized hole in the Protestant soul, which Nietzsche had obviated. If Donald Trump did not exist, it would have been necessary for the bankrupt evangelical mind to invent him. So, their actual god happens to go by the name “Jesus,” but it’s Donny Drumpf in fact.

Learned so much from him😢

Nathan's insights spawn another generation of disciples who witnessed the transcendent healing power of those who got close enough to the hem of his garment (as Monica Witman astutely concluded)

Hello, can you answer a question: Why can't' I find volume 4 and 5 of the CW of MLVF?

You do realize by getting into politics you just alienated 50% of your listener base, right?

I wonder how much Jordan Peterson stole from Marie-Luise von Franz..

absolutely enthralling and gripping. יישר כחכם. Hope there will be more performances - richly deserved

Audiobook version, please? 🙏🏻

Oh geez.. Im starting to think I have about 50 complexes

Uh... Um...
