ECLIPSE: Archetype of Awe, Wonder, and Triumph

Encountering a total eclipse can evoke a primal connection to nature and the infinite, constellating a deep sense of belonging to the universe and each other.
Eclipses profoundly impact observers, evoking awe, transcendence, and a shared sense of unity. These celestial events encourage deep personal reflection and stronger social connections among those who witness them. They transform ordinary moments into extraordinary ones, re-enchanting the world and reinforcing the bond between humanity, nature, and the cosmos. Mysterious and awe-filled, in ancient times, Eclipses inspired myths and religious rites that shaped culture, politics, and even war.
Prepare to discover... how human beings engage with and interpret awe-inspiring events; what effects awe, mystery, and the numinous have on the human psyche; where individuals and societies find meaning and transcendence in natural phenomena; whether events like eclipses can re-enchant a disenchanted world; which aspects of human nature are illuminated by our reactions to eclipses; why the human response to eclipses and similar events can be a profound source of insight into our collective and individual psyches, revealing deeper truths about our fears, hopes, and the interplay between consciousness and the cosmos… and so much more!

It means the world to me, i really appreciate it❤. Greetings from Indonesia🙏🏼🔥❤️

[@clarebonetree9339]

Thank you, so rich as ever. Really struck by the idea of challenging the darkness to rescue our god, this beautiful illustration of the human capacity for agency even in darkness

[@Liyah-encyclopedia333]

Wow Joseph’s description of his personal experience is always so infatuating

[@SleepyLeeeee]

I think you guys just described the song "A Total Eclipse Of The Heart." This sense of awe people experience during the eclipse is very strong but the reality is we have it on tap everyday in different ways. I would compare the feeling to being alive.

[@Kintsugi979]

Yes, the feeling of awe is inside us. We SEE nature in its majesty, but FEEL awe inside of us. Therefore, we have access to that feeling anytime we want.

This episode was so good it made me cry and happy to be alive

In the dream, I couldn't help but be struck not only by the Fight Club imagery, but also by memories of the video game Mortal Combat and the Dojo Master's command to "FINISH HIM !!!" The initial "sportsman-like" concern for the opponent could be conflict avoidance or a resistance to a barely controlled ruthlessness the dreamer knows is dangerous- it's a blurry line.
Thanks Deb and Joseph , this one's a keeper, full of small points of reference that loom large for me, I'll be returning to it often I think- the only thing that partially eclipsed its impact was the absence of Lisa's input, so maybe when she returns from the shadowlands a revisit of the subject would be in order, so she can add her tales of her "Sol Negra" experience for additional illumination. 🌒🌑🌘

❤❤❤

[@MourningCoffeeMusic]

Gosh, I really need my dreams analyzed by these guys. Especially a recent wild one I had !

[@Satyanadevarya]

Hey guys, pls do an episode on psyche, suffering and everything High Priestess pls

[@advandepol7537]

I looked it up, and to my astonishment in many cultures, even hinduism, the solar eclipse is a bad omen. Makes me wonder whether the effect is related to the spiritual context within a certain culture.

[@prod3362]

then i pretend im not plagarizing and act smarter than i am

[@nickacca]

Maybe don't look at the eclipse. Seems like a silly idea.
