…with spiritual transformation has given us in the 20th century, in the late 20th century, the heir to heir to Carl Jung the heir to Paracelsus, the heir to brother Klaus, Albert Hoffman, Alchemist, philosopher, chemist, human being, a man of whom…
…are all different energies, whether they're visual, emotional intellectual or whatever. A mystic philosopher by the name of Gurdjieff, he and Carl Jung have this concept that I've been working with that works well for me and I've been working with it for…
…flying saucer thing from one end to the other and I'm talking 47 to say 54. And they studied it and they studied it and Carl Jung was brought in and all kinds of people were brought in and at the end of that period they concluded that what it was,…
…a misunderstanding and of course when you read dissident views on time or when you did in the 50s and 60s you read Carl Jung who wrote about what was called synchronicity, which he called an acausal connecting principle, and I spend a lot of time on…
…fascinated. The future and the nature of time. Then he goes on to say that the greatest impact on their early thinking wasn't Carl Jung or HG Wells or Jules Verne, but it was Arthur C. Clarke's novels, Childhood's end and the City and the Stars. Now,…
…of great antiquity. And one of the things that has struck various people who've become involved with it, Leibniz, Benjamin Franklin, Carl Jung, that it seems to work like psychedelics. It seems to be a general, an exception to the general rule that this…
…been told. And this was fairly shocking to me because part of my intellectual journey had been through the psychology of Carl Jung. So I was very prepared for the idea that all dreams, all religious mythologies are seamlessly connected to each other under…
…computer? Well, in a way, what I think is going on is that the concept of the collective unconscious, which was enunciated by Carl Jung in the early decades of the 20th century, he and Freud basically discovered that the mind had a flip side that could…
…is truth. So it may be that, or it may be deeper. Terrence, what do you say? Well, it's funny, again, to mention Jung. He had this concept which he called synchronicity, which is the apparent coincidence of a mental state with an event in the exterior…
…you owe money, and suddenly there's a fish right on the street in front of you. This is called a synchronicity. And Jung felt that there was a kind of, what he called acausal connectedness, and that this was how the unconscious attempted to communicate…
…really got me is the presence of these english speaking entities in the trance. I mean, that I did not expect from Jung and from Freud. You expect residual memories, but not these entities, these beings. And then the question is, where are they? Who…
…the idea that what we're saying might be simply constructs from the subconscious? Yes. Well, that's the other possibility. Carl Jung had this wonderful phrase in talking about elves and fairies, and he said, autonomous psychic components escape from the…
…You made me think of something else. And part of this whole process, particularly working with ayahuasca, there's a term that Carl Jung coined is called individuation. And essentially we are a cast of thousands, whether it's, you know, okay, I'm hungry, I'm…
…called Flying Saucers, a modern myth of things seen in the sky. And to my mind, no one has really gone beyond Jung. He understood very clearly that saying that something is a denizen of the psychic realm no way precludes. It's also having efficacious…
…This is presenting a tremendous barrier to us, to the expression of our wholeness. And I'm completely willing to line up behind Carl Jung on the notion that the UFO is an expression of our longing for wholeness. Imprincipio et verbum, et verbo caro facta…
…is something to be found. First of all, this is very important for the psychedelic life. Again, I was very lucky. I read Carl Jung very early, before the Jungians really got a hold of. Him and ruined it. And what Jung is saying about conceiving your…
…I was very lucky. I read Carl Jung very early, before the Jungians really got a hold of. Him and ruined it. And what Jung is saying about conceiving your life as a quest is absolutely true. Psyche is some kind of semi malleable medium, and if you set…
…of ideas to make a new world and tell that story again in film, backing it with these tremendously powerful alchemical images that Jung and others showed, work inexorably on the psyche. Whether you wish to be part of the process or not, to merely gaze…
…hold the details. And there are many of them, of this extremely complex worldview that were it not for people like Carl Jung, the swiss deaf psychologist, would have remained completely inexplicable to modern people. It is not chemistry, and it is not myth…
…entered into a kind of participation mystique, in which the contents of the unconscious were actually projected onto matter. And Carl Jung made much of this because he realized that these alchemical texts, which are so cryptic and bizarre, could be treated…
…that occurs to me is we human beings come equipped with something called the unconscious mind, discovered by Freud and Jung in Vienna, you know, for us, but apparent throughout history, the unconscious mind. And part of this technological and historical…
…flying saucers, or one of the best, was written just a couple of years after the first flying saucers were seen. It's by Carl Jung, and it's called flying saucers, a modern myth of things seen in the sky. And he talks there about how the human mind,…
…in the alembic, the alchemical vessel, and what was going on in their own imagination. The two categories weren't separate. So Jung noticed that these descriptions of chemical procedures that come out of alchemy are not to be taken seriously as real…
…the first books, becomes association, becomes associated with accessing the database of the culture. Well, what we've learned through Freud and Jung is that the database of the culture goes deeper than we may have anticipated, and that the final keys to the…
