    The Psychology of Astrology

    The Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Carl Jung studied astrology for over 40 years, and was primarily interested in the way astrology could help to explore the psyche. For Jung, astrology represents the sum of all the psychological knowledge of antiquity. The notion of seeing mythic narratives through patterns in the heavens is one of the earliest attempts to link the outer world with the inner world. The well-known Hermetic dictum, “As above, so below,” is key to astrology. It is the idea that man (the microcosm), is influenced by the universe (the macrocosm). That is to say, truths about the nature of the cosmos may be inferred from truths about human nature, and vice versa. At the exact moment of birth, each person receives the typical qualities of the libido or energy which is characteristic of him or her. Time, or the moment understood as a peculiar form of energy, seems to coincide with our psychological condition. For Jung, this leads to a peculiar hypothesis, that our personality does not have to do with the position of the stars, but rather with the qualitative effect of time, also called synchronicity, based on the ancient Stoic concept of cosmic sympathy. 👑 Become a Patron ⁠⁠Access exclusive material and deeper studies⁠⁠ — Support the work ☕⁠⁠ Buy a coffee⁠⁠ 💸 ⁠⁠PayPal⁠⁠ 👕 ⁠⁠Official Merch⁠⁠ — For deeper study 📜 ⁠⁠Full transcript⁠⁠ 📚 ⁠⁠Personal library⁠⁠ 💡 ⁠⁠eBooks⁠⁠ 🎨 ⁠⁠Artwork archive⁠⁠ Stay connected 📨 ⁠⁠Newsletter⁠⁠ ✍️ ⁠⁠Substack⁠⁠ — Elsewhere 🐦 ⁠⁠X⁠⁠ 📷 ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠ 📘 ⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 Recommended Reading▶ C.G.

    The Psychology of Angels

    Angels have fascinated human consciousness since the beginning of time. The word angel derives from the Greek angelos, which is the default translation of the Biblical Hebrew term mal’ākh (literally “messenger”). The angel is a messenger between God and mankind. Whether we talk about angels, daimons, djinns, fairies, or any other of such beings, they all hold something in common, despite their difference in appearance, namely, they are all archetypal images of the same fundamental pattern, the archetype of the ethereal being. These spirits coexist with us; they just exist at another level of reality. As the archetypal image of the call, the angel initiates individuation, the journey towards wholeness of personality (the Self), as well theosis (union with God). Therefore, angels can help us both psychologically and spiritually. The integration of the angel archetype allows us to examine the nature of our essence or soul, the uniqueness that asks to be lived in each of us, and that unfolds itself during our lifetime. Thus, angels carry our true vocation, which is a calling, towards the meaning of our life. 👑 Become a Patron ⁠⁠Access exclusive material and deeper studies⁠⁠ — Support the work ☕⁠⁠ Buy a coffee⁠⁠ 💸 ⁠⁠PayPal⁠⁠ 👕 ⁠⁠Official Merch⁠⁠ — For deeper study 📜 ⁠⁠Full transcript⁠⁠ 📚 ⁠⁠Personal library⁠⁠ 💡 ⁠⁠eBooks⁠⁠ 🎨 ⁠⁠Artwork archive⁠⁠ Stay connected 📨 ⁠⁠Newsletter⁠⁠ ✍️ ⁠⁠Substack⁠⁠ — Elsewhere 🐦 ⁠⁠X⁠⁠ 📷 ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠ 📘 ⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 Recommended Reading ▶ The City of God – Saint Augustine https://amzn.to/405uOTu ▶ The Soul’s Code – James Hillman https://amzn.to/3M3QQjJ ▶ The Life of Saint Teresa of Ávila by Herself https://amzn.to/3s1WZGv ▶ Journal of Dreams – Emanuel Swedenborg https://amzn.to/3S7Mlsy ▶ Marriage of Heaven and Hell – William Blake https://amzn.to/3Qpclyj ▶ The Essential Sermons & more – Meister Eckhart https://amzn.to/45D2rgP ▶ Duino Elegies – Rainer Maria Rilke https://amzn.to/45D21af ▶ The Way of the Dream – M.L. von Franz https://amzn.to/4051Pzo 🎧 Prefer Audiobooks?

    The Psychology of The Wise Old Man

    The Wise Old Man or Sage is an archetype that is recognised by almost everyone, be it in stories, games, movies, or everyday life. In myth he is often shown as one living in isolation, meditating and living a simple life deep in a forest, in the mountains, or in other uninhabited places. The Wise Old Man is a lover of wisdom, and uses his experience to guide others. He is portrayed as a mysterious person or a wizard, in contact with nature and the numinous and unseen forces that permeate our existence. The Wise Old man appears as a teacher of wisdom such as King Solomon from the Bible. In Hermeticism, he is Hermes Trismegistus, the fount of all wisdom and the teacher of the mystery of all ages. In China, the sage is Lao Tzu ("old man" or "old master"), the founder of Taoism, while in India there are the sadhus and yogis. In Arthurian Legend he is Merlin, in Nietzsche he appears as the prophet Zarathustra, and in Carl Jung as Philemon. In modern popular fiction we have Yoda, Gandalf and Dumbledore, among others. In the individuation process (the lifelong journey towards psychic wholeness), the archetype of the Wise Old Man is late to emerge, and is therefore seen as an indication of the Self (the total personality). 👑 Become a Patron ⁠⁠⁠Access exclusive material and deeper studies⁠⁠⁠ — Support the work ☕⁠⁠⁠ Buy a coffee⁠⁠⁠ 💸 ⁠⁠⁠PayPal⁠⁠⁠ 👕 ⁠⁠⁠Official Merch⁠⁠⁠ — For deeper study 📜 ⁠⁠⁠Full transcript⁠⁠⁠ 📚 ⁠⁠⁠Personal library⁠⁠⁠ 💡 ⁠⁠⁠eBooks⁠⁠⁠ 🎨 ⁠⁠⁠Artwork archive⁠⁠⁠ Stay connected 📨 ⁠⁠⁠Newsletter⁠⁠⁠ ✍️ ⁠⁠⁠Substack⁠⁠⁠ — Elsewhere 🐦 ⁠⁠⁠X⁠⁠⁠ 📷 ⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠ 📘 ⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━📚 Recommended Reading▶ Jung and Tarot: An Archetypal Journey - Sallie Nicholshttps://amzn.to/3PH7zM2▶ Awakening the Heroes Within - Carol S.

    The Quest for the Holy Grail (The Self)

    The Quest for the Holy Grail has fascinated the Western consciousness for a long time. It epitomises the true spirit of Western man and is, in many ways, the myth of Western civilisation. It is a perennial and timeless pattern that expresses fundamental concerns of the human condition. The Holy Grail is a mysterious object guarded by a king in a hidden castle. It has been described as a cup, dish, or a magical stone that can provide healing powers, immortality, eternal youth, and unlimited nourishment. It represents the fulfilment of the highest spiritual potentialities in human consciousness, which endows the world with a symbolic and spiritual meaning. The quest for the Holy Grail is always more or less the same, it is the hero’s journey, at the end of which one obtains the “treasure hard to attain.” It is the search for that which makes life most meaningful. Psychologically, the Holy Grail—like the philosophers' stone—is a symbol of the Self, the psychic totality and ultimate wholeness of the human being. The soul which represents the life principle, is that wondrous vessel which is the goal of the quest, whose final secret can never be revealed, but must ever remain hidden because its essence is a mystery. 👑 Become a Patron ⁠⁠⁠Access exclusive material and deeper studies⁠⁠⁠ — Support the work ☕⁠⁠⁠ Buy a coffee⁠⁠⁠ 💸 ⁠⁠⁠PayPal⁠⁠⁠ 👕 ⁠⁠⁠Official Merch⁠⁠⁠ — For deeper study 📜 ⁠⁠⁠Full transcript⁠⁠⁠ 📚 ⁠⁠⁠Personal library⁠⁠⁠ 💡 ⁠⁠⁠eBooks⁠⁠⁠ 🎨 ⁠⁠⁠Artwork archive⁠⁠⁠ Stay connected 📨 ⁠⁠⁠Newsletter⁠⁠⁠ ✍️ ⁠⁠⁠Substack⁠⁠⁠ — Elsewhere 🐦 ⁠⁠⁠X⁠⁠⁠ 📷 ⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠ 📘 ⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 Recommended Reading ▶ The Grail Legend - Emma Jung and Marie-Louise von Franz https://amzn.to/3KL9Oei ▶ Perceval, or the Story of the Grail - Chrétien de Troyes https://amzn.to/3YFvm1V ▶ Parzival - Wolfram von Eschenbach https://amzn.to/3KJgOIK ▶ Merlin and the Grail.

    The Psychology of Fairy Tales

    Fairy tales fascinate us and give us a sense of warmth and home-coming that comes from the mythical realm of the imagination, a necessary complement to our everyday life. We are fundamentally story-telling creatures, and there is much we can learn by reflecting on the fairy tales heard in childhood. They seem almost magical because they connect us with emotions deeply buried within that cannot find expression in outer life, because as we grow up, the world of imagination is shunned by our peers, considered as unproductive and good for nothing. Fairy tales can provide us with a sense that we are not alone in our life struggles. Humans have faced these struggles in one form or another since the beginning of time, and fairy tales represent this fundamental concern of the human condition. Psychologically, fairy tales reflect our inner landscape, and the characters can represent aspects of our own personalities. Jungian analyst Marie-Louise von Franz writes: "Fairy tales are the purest and simplest expression of collective unconscious psychic processes. Therefore, their value for the scientific investigation of the unconscious exceeds that of all other material. They represent archetypes in their simplest, barest, and most concise form." 👑 Become a Patron ⁠⁠⁠Access exclusive material and deeper studies⁠⁠⁠ — Support the work ☕⁠⁠⁠ Buy a coffee⁠⁠⁠ 💸 ⁠⁠⁠PayPal⁠⁠⁠ 👕 ⁠⁠⁠Official Merch⁠⁠⁠ — For deeper study 📜 ⁠⁠⁠Full transcript⁠⁠⁠ 📚 ⁠⁠⁠Personal library⁠⁠⁠ 💡 ⁠⁠⁠eBooks⁠⁠⁠ 🎨 ⁠⁠⁠Artwork archive⁠⁠⁠ Stay connected 📨 ⁠⁠⁠Newsletter⁠⁠⁠ ✍️ ⁠⁠⁠Substack⁠⁠⁠ — Elsewhere 🐦 ⁠⁠⁠X⁠⁠⁠ 📷 ⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠ 📘 ⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⌛ Timestamps (0:00) Introduction (3:43) What are Fairy Tales?

    The Psychology of Nightmares

    Nightmares. We all have them. But what exactly do they mean? Why do we have bad dreams? Is there any psychological meaning behind them? Nightmares are the source of much of the horror we see in stories, myths, movies and games. They are an encounter with the dark side of the unconscious, which often includes facing some of the most painful aspects of who we are. And one does not know what that part of oneself is, until one confronts it. Nightmares are the most substantial and vitally important dreams, and are of therapeutic value. They wake us up with a cry, as if all our repressed content forms a bubble which expands until it bursts one night, and we experience a nightmare. They are the shock therapy nature uses on us when we are too unaware of some psychological danger, and shock us out of deep unconscious sleepiness about some dangerous situation. As if the unconscious says, “Look here, this problem is urgent!” The psyche tells us to “wake up” and face what we have neglected. The majority of nightmares represent opportunities for personal healing through much-needed emotional release. 👑 Become a Patron ⁠⁠⁠Access exclusive material and deeper studies⁠⁠⁠ — Support the work ☕⁠⁠⁠ Buy a coffee⁠⁠⁠ 💸 ⁠⁠⁠PayPal⁠⁠⁠ 👕 ⁠⁠⁠Official Merch⁠⁠⁠ — For deeper study 📜 ⁠⁠⁠Full transcript⁠⁠⁠ 📚 ⁠⁠⁠Personal library⁠⁠⁠ 💡 ⁠⁠⁠eBooks⁠⁠⁠ 🎨 ⁠⁠⁠Artwork archive⁠⁠⁠ Stay connected 📨 ⁠⁠⁠Newsletter⁠⁠⁠ ✍️ ⁠⁠⁠Substack⁠⁠⁠ — Elsewhere 🐦 ⁠⁠⁠X⁠⁠⁠ 📷 ⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠ 📘 ⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⌛ Timestamps (0:00) Introduction (3:00) Dream-Motifs in Nightmares (3:37) Lilith: The First Nightmare (5:07) The Origin & Folklore of Nightmares (9:09) Non-REM Sleep (Night Terrors) (10:36) REM Sleep (Nightmares) (11:43) Nightmare in Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment (15:40) Fever Dreams and Franz Kafka (17:36) Post-Traumatic Nightmares and Recurring Nightmares (19:00) Precognitive Nightmares (20:36) Carl Jung and The Meaning of Dreams (26:07) The Shadow and Nightmares (28:32) The Devouring Mother Archetype (30:39) Active Imagination (33:08) Lucid Dreaming (36:14) Nightmares and Artists (37:40) Nightmare Artists: Beksiński and Giger

    The Psychology of The Wounded Healer

    The wounded healer refers to the capacity to be at home in the darkness of suffering and there to find germs of light and recovery. It is the archetype at the bottom of all genuine healing procedures. As long as we feel victimised, bitter and resentful towards our wound, and seek to escape from suffering it, we remain inescapably bound to it. This is neurotic suffering, as opposed to the authentic suffering of the wounded healer which is purified. The wound can destroy you, or it can wake you up. As Carl Jung wrote, "The doctor is effective only when he himself is affected. Only the wounded physician heals." 👑 Become a Patron ⁠⁠⁠Access exclusive material and deeper studies⁠⁠⁠ — Support the work ☕⁠⁠⁠ Buy a coffee⁠⁠⁠ 💸 ⁠⁠⁠PayPal⁠⁠⁠ 👕 ⁠⁠⁠Official Merch⁠⁠⁠ — For deeper study 📜 ⁠⁠⁠Full transcript⁠⁠⁠ 📚 ⁠⁠⁠Personal library⁠⁠⁠ 💡 ⁠⁠⁠eBooks⁠⁠⁠ 🎨 ⁠⁠⁠Artwork archive⁠⁠⁠ Stay connected 📨 ⁠⁠⁠Newsletter⁠⁠⁠ ✍️ ⁠⁠⁠Substack⁠⁠⁠ — Elsewhere 🐦 ⁠⁠⁠X⁠⁠⁠ 📷 ⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠ 📘 ⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 Recommended Reading ▶ Shamanism: Archaic Techniques of Ecstasy - Mircea Eliade https://amzn.to/3W8i6Rf ▶ Shaman: The Wounded Healer - Joan Halifax https://amzn.to/3htJp9L ▶ The Sacred and The Profane - Mircea Eliade https://amzn.to/3V7Euci 🎧 Prefer Audiobooks?
