There is hope, robots!

The human frontal cortex, together with the differentiated ego-consciousness which it permits, renders the human being more free of the archetypal programme than any other animal. We can be much more flexible about which aspects of the programme we live out in reality. Archetypal imperatives are not absolute: experience transforms them into modes compatible with the living circumstances of the individual. …The crucial thing is that [we] consciously embrace the realities of [our] situation and actively make use of whatever archetypal opportunities there are. This includes embracing modes of life previously regarded as perverse.

Learn Jung’s Analytical Psychology!

This dude has announced a biweekly podcast on core topics of Analytical Psychology:

Once the core fundamentals are covered, I plan to create additional episodes that explore (amongst other topics), an interpretation of unconscious material, such as dreams. I am also interested in conducting interviews with a variety of Jungian Analysts.

There have been thirteen podcasts so far, with topics including: Jung’s Model of the Psyche; Projection, Shadow, Anima, Animus; the Persona, Dreams and more.

The podcast is available: here.
