This Jungian Life Podcast

We have looked to the stars to navigate our ships across night-shrouded seas. We have studied the stars to find their qualities in our character and divine our destiny. We have yearned for the stars as the gates of heaven where we hope to reside one day. Mysterious and inscrutable, humanity has ever projected the arcane depths of its collective psyche onto the sky and marveled at what they saw. Prepare to discover who the first astrologers were, why we require the night sky to encounter our depths, what the stars have meant to humanity across time, where we must seek to understand the legends and myths of the gods…and so much more.   *FIND A COPY OF THE DREAM WE ANALYZE HERE: https://thisjungianlife.com/the-star-archetype-of-revelation   *HERE’S A LINK TO THE BOOKS WE MENTION IN THIS EPISODE: https://bookshop.org/lists/the-archetype-of-the-star   LOOK & GROW   *WE’VE PUBLISHED OUR FIRST BOOK TOGETHER!

Dream Wise: Unlocking the Meaning of Your Dreams is a practical guide to interpreting your dreams. It is the fruit of our collective experience analyzing thousands of dreams and collaborating to create our podcast and Dream School. It is an answer to the collective call to know and be more. Jung understood the next stage of human development could only come from within, and dreams are the key to that living process. The images we receive each night express a symbolic language, carrying multiple levels of meaning, emotional energy, and archetypal patterns. The dream meets your personal history each night, seeking to free you. Collaborating with the dream maker increases the power of dreams exponentially. If we are faithful to dream work, opportunities to integrate shadow come forth, our hidden potential comes to our aid, and our authentic nature blooms. All this starts with you and a unique impulse to know more. Today, we will introduce you to Dream Wise in the hope that it will inspire you to unlock your dreams.   Prepare to discover…what dreams can tell us about our inner thoughts, feelings, and shared human experiences, how to analyze dream symbols and patterns to gain deeper personal insights, which dream themes point to unresolved issues or opportunities for growth, whether understanding your dreams can help you feel more balanced and self-aware, why exploring dreams is an important way to understand yourself and navigate life's challenges…and so much more.

Stoicism and Jungian psychology are a natural fit. The first invigorates and organizes the reasoning mind, and the second ensouls it. The amalgam of Stoicism and Jungian Psychology generates a natural resilience. It offers a frame to understand the interplay of reason, emotion, and imagination in service to inner growth. Integrated philosophical reflection empowers us to confront societal crises and develop autonomy through rational self-awareness. Inclusive Stoicism connects personal development to shared human values. The ancient discipline of clear thinking can heal us through narrative coherence, emotional management, and the integration of unconscious material. Combined with imagination, we gain tools to interpret emotions that help us navigate life. From this vantage, the modern epidemic of anxiety is seen as unmet potential in search of purposeful action and the cultivation of virtue as a template for a meaningful life. The ancient stoics explored the concept of the greatest good and found it in the wholesome and generous interconnectedness of individuals and society. Prepare to discover what shapes the interplay between reason, emotion, and imagination, how practices of self-cultivation foster resilience, adaptability, and a deeper meaning, which virtues and approaches lead to the integration of inner life with collective well-being, whether balancing rationality and emotional insight can support wholeness, why cultivating inner strength and understanding interconnectedness are essential for navigating complexity.  FIND A COPY OF THE DREAM WE ANALYZE HERE: https://thisjungianlife.com/stoicism  Our friend John White was a philosophy professor for twenty years then completed training to be a certified Jungian analyst.

When we betray ourselves, we abandon our values, needs, or truths to gain approval or avoid discomfort. This leaves us disconnected, fragmented, and unsure of who we really are. These patterns often start in childhood, where conditional love or invalidation teaches us to hide our authentic selves to stay safe or gain acceptance. We see this in our daily lives—staying in unbalanced relationships, ignoring our emotions, overworking, or making choices that don’t align with who we are. We justify it, suppress what we feel, or take on others’ beliefs without realizing how much it costs us. Trauma can make this worse by teaching us to keep our needs small or invisible, while societal norms push us to conform and silence our inner voice. To heal, we need to reconnect with our true selves. That means facing the parts of us we’ve denied, listening to our intuition, setting boundaries, and taking small steps toward living in line with our values. This isn’t easy, but it’s how we find our way back to a life that feels whole, honest, and truly ours. Prepare to discover what it means to act against your own values and needs; how emotional suppression, societal pressures, and unresolved trauma shape behaviors that disconnect you from your true self; which thought patterns, emotional habits, and external influences drive actions that compromise your integrity; whether internal conflicts and unmet needs can be transformed through self-reflection; why aligning with your authentic self is essential for psychological growth, meaningful relationships, and living a fulfilling life...and so much more.
