DREAM WITH US, and we’ll teach you how to interpret them!⁠⁠⁠⁠

With Deb and Joe out this week, Lisa speaks with Gary Clark, a visiting research fellow at the University of Adelaide, about his book Carl Jung and the Evolutionary Sciences.

The discussion delves into the influence of indigenous cultures on understanding consciousness, the role of anthropology in Jung's work, and the implications of evolutionary development on human psychology.

Humanity's ancient rituals underscore the importance of integrating the primordial emotional brain with the newer neocortex. Reconnecting to these practices in a contemporary setting can help facilitate integration and well-being, especially during the tumultuous adolescent years.

Gary and Lisa further explore the connections between maternal love, Jungian psychology, and the biological underpinnings of social bonding. They discuss the concepts of anima and animus, and the psychological implications of sex-based differences.

They also delve into the roles of Eros and Logos in understanding gender differences and the potential of psychedelics in exploring consciousness. More than ever, there is a pressing need for a synthesis of modern scientific understanding with the rich, archetypal dimensions of human experience.
