The Alchemical Mind

For this episode, I bring you a short speech from Terence McKenna on the importance of surrendering and finding your own path, as an addendum to the discussion from the previous two episodes on learning to be honest with yourself and others. Stick around to the end of the speech for some commentary from myself as well as some announcements for what's coming up for the show in the coming week.

On this episode of The Alchemical Mind, we return to our deep dive of Gnosticism with a look at The Gospel of Mary, a beautiful and deeply esoteric text which dives into the Platonic influence on the early Christians, how the soul can return to the Pleroma by overcoming the Archons, and most importantly, the important of partaking on both the left hand and right hand paths to achieve ultimate awakening.

For this episode of The Alchemical Mind, I will be diving into Carl Jung's Seven Sermons To The Dead and discuss how this deeply Gnostic modern work helped lead Jung to his important revelations on the theory of mind and how psychology has been deeply influenced by the ideas of archetypes, shadows, and magic present in ancient traditions.

Welcome to The Alchemical Mind. On this episode, I will wrap up the three part series on the shadow self with a 20-minute speech by Alan Watts on Carl Jung and the concept of the shadow self. If you listened to the previous two episodes, you may find Watt's understanding of the subject to serve as a nice book-end to the discussion.

On the next episode, I will be discussing the results of my solo meditation retreat so I hope you are looking forward to listening to that, as much as I am about sharing my experiences.

Meditation has become ever more popular and chances are that even if you've never tried any type of mediation - and I bet you have - you have a general idea of what meditation involves. Since we recently dove into the problem with the monkey mind, I wanted to take a bit of time to dive into a few simple meditation techniques which have been invaluable for me to achieve some peace and mental quietude.
