The Embodied Podcast

In today's episode I discuss the mythological and psychological significance of the three headed dog and how it shows up when we are psychologically moving towards the underworld of psyche.

In today's episode I discuss a few quotes on humiliation. "To come into contact with the Self is always humiliating for the Ego." and Jung's "A victory for the Self is always a defeat for the Ego."

Part two in our alchemical series is the albedo, the Whitening. Given the work done on the soul so far, the Whiteness is associated with an important emergence of an alchemical liminality. This is where the material is no longer black, but is not yet reddened. Psychologically, a receptivity is emerging that catalyzes a deeper connection to the materials of the soul. "The albedo white refers to alc...

In today's episode I discuss the first of the three phases of the alchemical process, the nigredo, the blackening. This Blackness is the alchemical nigredo containing the outdated ruling principles of the ego. These are dissolving in the solutio. “Right at the beginning you meet the “dragon,” the chthonic spirit, the “devil,” or, as the alchemists called it, “the blackness,” the nigredo, and this...

In today's episode I discuss a quote by Jungian scholar David Miller,  "A journey into hell is a ‘descent into the imaginal ’and hence it is actually ‘the ascent of the soul,’ providing the ego, ‘a perspective from a soulful point of view." I unpack what this means as I approach my work bridging traditional Apollonian, rational scientific approaches to psychology, with more Hermetic, nuanced appro...
