About this episode

Do Western esoteric and mystery traditions have something to offer our collective moment? This two-part philosophical dialogue seeks to shed new light on the conditions for archetypal emergence in our time.

Conversation Waypoints

  • The clearing we stand in, and a gesture towards an ark
  • Wizards and saints
  • Understanding archetypes as shared, evolving psychic structures
  • Naturalism, supernaturalism, and the collective unconscious
  • Psychedelic experience as a gateway to Jung
  • Ego, Consciousness, and Self
  • How to become who we are, in right relationship, as a response to the chaos and oppositional fracture of our collective moment
  • How can we come together and build an ark (or new archetypes)?
  • Exploring this question through the lens of Jungian theory and distributed cognition
  • Aion, the turning of our age, and the Glass Bead Game
  • Optimal collaboration in novel mediums of communication as a response to the meta-crisis
  • Burning Man, synoptic integration, and throwing a good house party
