UNLOCK THE POWER OF SYMBOLS

Author, teacher, and Jungian analyst Murray Stein helps us unlock the power of symbols.

Symbols, as the keys to unlocking psychological forces, have the transformative potential to heal our suffering and restore our relationship to the center of our being. These images connect our waking minds to the unconscious reservoirs of creativity and emerging potential. From historical religious practices to modern everyday life, symbols evoke powerful emotional and psychological responses that can guide or manipulate us. Whether through dreams, visions, or cultural contexts, symbols bridge the material and spiritual worlds, restoring our instinctive sense that we live our lives from the inside out.

Prepare to learn what symbols are and their significance in Jungian psychology, how to engage these images through techniques like active imagination, journaling, and creative expression, which symbols carry significant psychological and emotional weight, whether symbolic experiences can lead to transformative psychological insights, why symbols are essential in bridging the material and spiritual worlds and so much more…

This conversation is a powerful symbol in itself.
The difference between hallucination and vision is so simple and mindblowing
Thanks!

I love the art of symbols. It’s gotten me deep into Reiki and sacred geometry.

Loved his distinction between dreams and visions. Visions are broken down into three categories by St. Augustine who borrowed heavily from the ideas of latter Neoplatonists, imaginative (in dreams), corporeal (occur when we are awake) and finally intellectual where the mind suddenly grasps some revealed truth. The first two include universal characteristics like rays of light. The rushing sounds heard during this process, according to Iamblichus, were the same sounds generated by the movement of stars and recreated by Pythagoras in his prototheurgical rites as a means of initiating his pupils into this inner mystery of the midnight sun. Great interview.

How come an episode on Wotan hasn't been done yet? 🤔

Interesting example of symbolism within music, which can evoke unconscious feelings. When experienced collectively within a political context (such as Hitler did with Wagner), the symbol evoking the yet unconscious feeling can be disorienting and twist people in the wrong direction, but is it really "symbol" within music (not containing language) that evokes unconscious feeling?

I guess the takeaway is that we should recognize the power of symbol and better learn how to work with it.

dual aspect monism sounds interesting, monadology is Leibniz not Spinoza but how you describe it seems similar to chitta in vedic science

Very nice and interesting. One thing, Jesus Christ is an archetype and not more, trust me.

Suddenly pops up a question in me. What is the difference between the intelligence of the dreammaker and our personal intelligence.
