Overcoming Soul Sickness with Carl Jung and Terence McKenna
🥰 Support TED and join the community on Patreon What do we do when we feel purposeless? Where do we turn when the vital energy is sucked from life? Original full video version here As the bleak statistics of the mental health epidemic demonstrate, for many, there is no clear answer. This disconnection from meaning and purpose, this depression of the soul, is devouring the psyche of millions. It's left us struggling to numb the pain through pathology, distraction, consumption, and ego games. Of course, none of the above brings us any closer to the deeper purpose we seek. They leave us thirstier for something real than we were to begin with. So, in this transmission, we'll confront this 'soul sickness' through the wisdom of luminaries like Carl Jung, Terence McKenna, Dr. Lisa Miller, and more. We'll also riff on some ways we might even be able to overcome it.

A couple of months back, Andrew awoke to one of his worst fears — News that his beloved studio was up in flames. By the time he arrived at the scene the structure, filled with countless irreplaceable art pieces and hundreds of thousands of dollars in gear, was completely engulfed in flames. As soon as he saw it, he knew it would be a total loss. I've been wanting to talk to Android ever since I heard the news. I'll be honest, the lucidity, wisdom, and real transformation Android embodies throughout this conversation took me by surprise.
