Growing Beyond Ourselves

Living a Symbolic Life in a Technological Age. Our digital age presents unique challenges for the practice of the inner life. What can the insights of Jungian Psychology offer for dealing with these challenges? In this series, we explore Carl Jung's idea of "the symbolic life" through the lenses of depth psychology, mythology, fairy tales, poetry, religion, and more. We focus on three core questions: 1. What is the symbolic life? 2. Why do we need a symbolic life? and 3. How can we cultivate and live a symbolic life? This is a companion podcast to the book 'Religious but Not Religious: Living a Symbolic Life' by Jungian analyst Jason E. Smith.

In this episode:We talk about the value of letting things happen and why Jung felt it was essential for the task of individuation.Let's make this a conversation:Do you have a comment or  question about this episode, or about something you would like me to address in a future episode?

The Paradox of Happiness

In this episode:We look at how the attitude we take towards our dreams changes our experience of them, and affects our relationship with our inner lives.Let's make this a conversation:Do you have a comment or  question about this episode, or about something you would like me to address in a future episode?

The psyche is the object of psychology, and — fatally enough — also its subject. There is no getting away from this fact.” ~ C.G. Jung in 'Collected Works, vol. 11.'S1 Ep. 20: Taking Dreams Seriously"I share all your prejudices against dream-interpretation as the quintessence of uncertainty and arbitrariness. .." ~ Jung in 'Collected Works, vol. 16.'"It is on the basis of theory, for instance, that I expect dreams to have a meaning. I cannot prove in every case that this is so.... But I have to make such an hypothesis in order to find courage to deal with dreams at all." ~ Jung in 'Collected Works, vol. 16.' The Peddler of Swaffham from 'English Fairy and Other Folk Tales.'“I must content myself wholly with the fact that the result means something to my patient and sets his life in motion again. I may allow myself only one criterion for the result of my labours: does it work?” ~ Jung in 'Collected Works, vol. 16.'“In many ways the journey seems to be a foolish gamble...”  ~ Thomas Merton in 'New Seeds of Contemplation.'“The right way to wholeness is made up, unfortunately, of fateful detours and wrong turnings.” ~ Jung in 'Collected Works, vol. 12.'“Mistakes are, after all, the foundations of truth...” ~ Jung in 'Collected Works, vol. 9ii.'“Our errors are surely not such awfully solemn things.... A certain lightness of heart seems healthier than this excessive nervousness on their behalf.”  ~ William James in 'The Will to Believe.'“We must be willing to get rid of the life we’ve planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us” ~ from 'The Joseph Campbell Companion.'Like this podcast?Please consider leaving a review at one of the following sites:Apple PodcastsSpotifyPodchaser...or support the show with a donation at Buy Me a Coffee (link below)Music:"Dreaming Days," "Slow Vibing," and "The Return" by Ketsa are licensed under CC BY-NC-ND 4.0Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/digitaljung)
