Stuff that Helps! 5 The Magical Other Oct 21, 2019

Show notes

"You complete me!" Not really. As a follow up to the last episode on the Shadow, I'm diving into the image of the Magical Other. Let's talk about projections and fantasies in intimate, long-term relationships. And how to grow up. This episode is in my series Stuff that Helps!, where I popularize stuff I've found helpful. This week will be about the work of James Hollis, a Jungian Analyst and author who coined the phrase the Magical Other. According to Hollis the fantasy of the Magical Other is one of the chief sources of suffering in long-term relationships, not to mention a kind of false god in the Western world. Enjoy!

A Little Podcast on the Shadow Oct 09, 2019

Show notes

With so much finger pointing and blame right now, let's talk about the shadow and projection. Ken Wilber calls shadow work the great gift of psychology in the 21st century. So what is it? How do we get close to the possibilities and invitations hidden beneath our conscious awareness? Enjoy!

We've Lost the Plot 7: It's the End of the World (As We Know it) Sep 11, 2019

Show notes

We've lost the plot again! Let's talk about The Apocalypse, which really means "to reveal." With so much anxiety and fear, is there a reason to be hopeful? What does the destruction and renewal symbol have to teach us right now? "No one ought ever love their suffering/but no one ever loves without its pain/as we die we come to wondering/if there was something we could not yet see/that winged Thing that merges with Earth's suffering/to make us what we would otherwise never be." (Rilke)

Step Away From the Enneagram Part 2 Aug 19, 2019

Show notes

The last podcast created some controversy, so let's go further. In this episode, I bring in some other voices on the subject of "know thyself" - I discuss the early adolescent tensions of authenticity and social acceptance from the work of Bill Plotkin, the traps of identification according to Cynthia Bourgeault, radical consciousness from Ken Wilber, and the Cosmic Dance of Thomas Merton. Enjoy!
