This is probably the most compelling 8 minutes and 50 seconds of YouTube content I've listened to. There is an amazing amount of meaning packed into this piece. It was exquisitely narrated too.

I was just asking myself what is Depth Psychology after listening to a talk given by Jefferey Keihl.
Other than Jung, I knew James Hollis would have the best defintion! I found this video on James Hollis's website! Beautifully
explained wih the perfect voice and images. There are so many barriers to the soul\psychi, everyone wants a piece of it!
Thank you James Hollis for sharing your deep understanding of Jung and his work! I have read several of your books and listened to many while I paint. My soul is always nourished when I read or listen to your books. Many thanks!

I would appreciate links to IN DEPTH discussion of non-dreaming, and whether it is a problem, and whether or not it is possible to remember them. FWIW I have been advised that it is not necessarily pathological, just an individual difference, not always a defense.

Would you mind directly linking the song in this video? I cannot find it through googling it or searching Astral & Shit's bandcamp. Thanks!

Of course! Unhelpful reinforcement histories stand in need of redress; and a sort not known to stem from intuition alone. Though the subsequent expression and release striven after, abreaction, is already to be witnessed in psychotherapy. I might watch again, keeping minutes. Where do you find these stentorian narrators?!

Was this read from a book? If so, which one? Dr. Hollis wrote many books.
