The Two Tongues Podcast

This episode concludes the first part--Liber Primus--of Jung's Red Book. Shit is getting thick, as Jung encounters the force of consciousness in the form of the Prophet Elijah and the force of unconsciousness in the form of Salome. We descend together into the underworld over and over and see many wild and strange things. We shrink to miniscule size Alice in Wonderland style; we see images of the...

In this episode Kyle and Chris talk about the immediate effects of cutting pornography out of your life. Chris talks out an idea that he's been developing in the form of an image. Kyle explains why women are too emotional to be taken seriously and accuses every Disney movie ever made of being progressive propaganda, Chris pumps the brakes. Jordan Peterson and his very rare terrible takes are calle...

In this first installment of Jung's Greatest Pupil, we discussed Erich Neumann and the symbol of the Uroboros. In Part 2 we pit Neumann against Marie-Louise von Franz. von Franz takes us on a journey through various fairytales from around the world and reveals the psychological symbolism in them. Much like Jordan Peterson did with his Biblical lectures, von Franz does with humanity's oldest storie...

In this episode we talk music, manipulation, politics and porn. We cover Kyle's reluctant transformation from Anarchist to right-wing-ishness, the process of psychological maturity (and the disturbing fact that many people never do). A little sex-ritual orgy, inspiration and motivation to top things off. Enjoy :)

In this episode we examine the opening chapter of Erich Neumann's great book The Origin and History of Consciousness...the book that Jung said he'd wished he'd written. We cover the stories we tell about the birth of the cosmos--our creation myths--and learn how they are really covert stories about the birth of consciousness. These stories center around the symbol of the Uroboros, the snake eating...

This was a spicy one! Chris and Kyle return to politics. We cover Showtime's series--Billions--, Jordan Peterson, manipulation of the masses, Capitalism and much, much more.  Enjoy :)

In this episode we return to Carl Jung's Red Book. We go back into Jung's psyche to discourse with the Spirit of the Depths and with Jung's Soul. We find ourselves in civil war; a place where death is inevitable. It is this inevitability, however, which guarantees immortality, because death always begets life. We struggle with paradox, fear and ambiguity and find on the other side an image of ours...

On this episode we pretend to know about guns and have an interesting exchange about marijuana and Catholicism. We discuss the power of ritual and the ways of seeing the magic in the world. Jordan Peterson comes up, of course, and a few negative remarks about the British. Covered everything except for Monkey Pox. Enjoy :)  

This episode is the exciting conclusion of our 3-part series on Sir Humphry Davy's book "Last Days of a Philosopher." In this installment we get to know "The Unknown," the unnamed and mysterious stranger we introduced in the last episode. We question time, recoil at the knowledge that everything is complicit in death, decay, decomposition and entropy. The good news, we learn, is the promise that b...

Chris and Kyle reunite after a week off for an explosive episode! How did that happen? Well, someone brought up abortion and the rants ensued with torrential force. No idea how that happened, but that's not all. We managed to squeeze in Russia, the slave trade, and a self-congratulatory review of the podcast's new website www.thetwotonguespodcast.com   Enjoy :) 

This episode picks up where we left off, right after Sir Humpry Davy tells us his crazy sci-fi revelation of traveling to space with a sun-being and observing the beings existing on other planets. Here we introduce a mysterious stranger who adds a scientific filter for Davys vision. They discuss sentience and matter, god and man, how they exist and in what relationship until bit by bit a theory of...

This episode picks up where we left off in Jung's "Red Book." Jung had burrowed within himself and suffered there until he succeeded in manifesting his Soul. But just as he succeeded in this, he realized that he and his Soul are in civil war. Jung (and all of us) are at war within ourselves, perpetually. But why?  To die, so that you can be reborn. And what does this even mean? Find out here! Enjo...

In this episode Chris and Kyle discuss the new film "The Northman," among other things; we weigh in on the Ukraine-Russia conflict and, to not be outdone in controversy, we discuss traditional gender roles and speculate on their origins. Men are expendable, everyone manipulates everyone else and may God have mercy on our souls. Enjoy :)

In this episode we explore the wildest account from the most reasonable of scientists. We take a look at Sir Humphry Davy's dying words, which recount his very own mystic experience! From the guy that invented the Davy Safety Lamp and presided over the Royal Society of England, from a guy knighted by the Monarch of Great Britain, we hear accounts of aliens, of space travel, of fire-beings! You rea...

Chris and Kyle are back after a 2 week hiatus. Your patience has paid off. We talk instincts, manipulation, politics and capitalism. But wait, there's more. Then Matt joins for the second hour where we talk movies, movies, movies.  Enjoy :)

In this episode we pick up where we left off in Carl Jung's "Red Book." The spirits within continue to speak with us as we sink deeper and deeper into ourselves. Jung traces the flight of his soul from other people to events in the world, right back into the labyrinth of his own thoughts. His soul was living everywhere except for within himself. So this is where we tread today, down, down, into th...

Think you know Carl Jung? Think you understand his psychological theories, Archetypes, the Collective Unconscious and all of that? Well...think again! In this episode we delve into Carl Jung's "Red Book," which contains his deepest thoughts, longings and questions. It is a conversation with the forces and powers within; it was never intended to be published, but was after Jung died. Now we can hav...

This is our final installment on Dr. Sojstedt-Hughes "Modes of Sentience." It was a hell of a ride! We questioned our assumptions and our reality, pondered eternity and sentience and became acquainted with Spinoza, Whitehead and Davy. What now? What's left? How about...wait for it...a speculative trip through hyperspace? How about a grand unified theory of Space and Sentience? Oh, I'll feed you ba...

Kyle and Chris are in peak form on this one. We talk sex, psychedelics, ancient Egyptian Pharaohs, Don't Say Gay legislation and Shane Mauss.  Enjoy :) 

We continue our exploration of Dr. Sjostedt-Hughes "Modes of Sentience" in this episode. We tackle substance vs process (and try our best to help all you dogmatic materialists out there see the "light of process"), admit to being bamboozled and explore a potential solution via psychedelic experience. Pepper in a little, mythology, the World Tree and Shamanism and there you have it. Enjoy :)

Kyle and Chris are back together after taking a week off so that Kyle could heal up from a knee injury. We talk current events, the good, the bad and the ugly. Oh, also the balls on Poland, leaving a legacy and what could God be if not a "being"? Enjoy :)

In this episode Chris tackles chapters 4 and 5 of Peter Sjostedt-Hughes' Modes of Sentience. Dr. Sjostedt-Hughes gives me a run for my money in describing the mystic experience and in highlighting its influence on Western philosophy. We talk Plato on acid, turn-of-the-century scientists huffing nitrous oxide and Nietzsche writing letters under the pseudonym Dionysus.  Enjoy ;) 

This episode covers Chapters 2-3 of Peter Sjostedt-Hughes book Modes of Sentience, which is all things Alfred North Whitehead. We talk Spinoza, God as "Process" and quantum physics. Oh, and there's a vocabulary lesson involved. Enjoy :)

Josh joins Chris and Kyle again for another inflammatory conversation (brace yourself). We talk Atlantis, railguns, polar shift, solar flares and a whole lot of histories mysteries.  Enjoy :) 

This episode rounds out our exploration of David Chalmer's The Conscious Mind. In Part 2 David left us eagerly anticipating a non-reductive explanation of consciousness. Did he deliver? Find out here. Enjoy :)
