• SHADOWLAND: Self-Harm Cults – The Story of Sarah

  DREAM WITH US, and we’ll teach you how to interpret them!⁠⁠⁠*Content warning: contains references to sexual abuse, animal cruelty, self-harm, and cult exploitation*This is Shadowland, a new podcast experience from This Jungian Life that explores the lives of people who work and take refuge in the hidden places of our culture. We hope our work will bring insight, compassion, and understanding to the darker side of human experience.In that spirit, we meet Sarah, a mother whose daughter was rescued from the self-harm cult called "764." This dangerous group has been identified by the FBI, who continue to prosecute their leaders. Despite those efforts, it continues and targets children. We explore how she discovered her daughter's entrapment, the process of recovery, the growing danger of these types of groups, and the toll it has taken on her. Sarah's ongoing work investigating these cults requires that we protect her identity. We are using a pseudonym, altering her voice, and obscuring her face.*Information on the 764 cult *FBI Public Service Announcement.

• The Symbolism of Travel Inner and Outer

  DREAM WITH US, and we’ll teach you how to interpret them!⁠⁠⁠⁠Travel speaks to something far deeper in us than simply going from one place to another; it’s a powerful metaphor for inner change. In our dreams or daydreams, the drive to “hit the road” or venture overseas often signals Psyche’s desire for growth and transformation. Instead of just showing us new sights, these journeys hint at unexplored parts of ourselves—regions of the unconscious that hold insight, energy, or aspects of our own personality we’ve yet to embrace.When you find yourself repeatedly dreaming about traveling or caught up in fantasies of far-off adventures, it may be your inner life nudging you toward new perspectives, solutions, or even a bold reinvention. Much like ancient heroes setting sail to unknown realms, we, too, embark on soul-level quests whenever we step beyond our comfort zones. Seen this way, traveling—physically or in our dreams—becomes a path to self-discovery. Each trek outward reflects a deeper journey within as we gradually gather up previously hidden pieces of ourselves, weaving them into a truer, fuller picture of who we are meant to become.Find Copies of the Three Dreams We Analyze HERE: https://thisjungianlife.com/travel_dreamsLOOK & GROW⁠⁠⁠⁠Join THIS JUNGIAN LIFE DREAM SCHOOL⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Do you have a topic you want us to cover?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WE NEED YOUR HELP!

• FACING REJECTION

  DREAM WITH US, and we’ll teach you how to interpret them!Facing Rejection forces us to confront what we fear losing—belonging, recognition, identity. Rejection alters how we see ourselves, engage with others, and interpret the world. It shapes unconscious complexes, creates projections, and influences attachment. It appears in myths where exiled figures return transformed, in dreams where locked doors symbolize what we refuse to see, and in defenses against further pain. Healing from rejection requires engaging with its effects, not avoiding them. Some of us externalize rejection, which becomes resentment, further isolating us. Others internalize it as self-doubt, creating cycles of withdrawal and hiding. Some break the pattern, using rejection as a catalyst for self-development, learning to integrate what was once denied. Rejection strips away illusions, forces an encounter with shadow, and demands a new understanding of self-worth. It is present in villains seeking revenge, heroes growing through exile, and those transforming suffering into insight. Growth is not in avoiding rejection but facing its effects without retreating into bitterness or fear. In today’s episode, we explore how rejection influences Psyche, how myths encode its lessons, how shadow work leads to integration, and how individuation turns rejection into wisdom. PREPARE TO DISCOVER what rejection reveals about the forces that shape our experiences, how rejection creates opportunities for transformation, which unconscious patterns emerge when rejection is internalized, whether rejection leads to individuation, why rejection is necessary to reclaim unconscious material …AND SO MUCH MORE. Here’s a copy of the dream we analyzed: https://thisjungianlife.com/facing-rejection LOOK & GROW⁠Join THIS JUNGIAN LIFE DREAM SCHOOL⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Do you have a topic you want us to cover?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WE NEED YOUR HELP!

• The Archetypal Brain: Jung from an Evolutionary Perspective

  DREAM WITH US, and we’ll teach you how to interpret them!⁠⁠⁠⁠With Deb and Joe out this week, Lisa speaks with Gary Clark, a visiting research fellow at the University of Adelaide, about his book Carl Jung and the Evolutionary Sciences.The discussion delves into the influence of indigenous cultures on understanding consciousness, the role of anthropology in Jung's work, and the implications of evolutionary development on human psychology.Humanity's ancient rituals underscore the importance of integrating the primordial emotional brain with the newer neocortex. Reconnecting to these practices in a contemporary setting can help facilitate integration and well-being, especially during the tumultuous adolescent years.Gary and Lisa further explore the connections between maternal love, Jungian psychology, and the biological underpinnings of social bonding. They discuss the concepts of anima and animus, and the psychological implications of sex-based differences.They also delve into the roles of Eros and Logos in understanding gender differences and the potential of psychedelics in exploring consciousness. More than ever, there is a pressing need for a synthesis of modern scientific understanding with the rich, archetypal dimensions of human experience. Learn more about our Dream Telepathy Project Find the books mentioned in the showLOOK & GROW⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join THIS JUNGIAN LIFE DREAM SCHOOL⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Do you have a topic you want us to cover?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WE NEED YOUR HELP!
