The Imitation of Christ, Nietzsche, and Jung - Ep 19

Satya Doyle Byock & Carol Ferris enter a series of more playful Red Book chapters, beginning with "Divine Folly" in which Jung departs from his own religiosity to express the critical importance of living one's own existence. Jung picks up a copy of "The Imitation of Christ" by Thomas a Kempis and starts a dialogue with the work of Friedrich Nietzsche. Carol illuminates the astrology of January 14th, 1914 and the Grand Cardinal Cross in Jung's horoscope. Ann Carroll explores Western Civilization's wrestling with the 2,000 year-old Christian narrative. Satya defines courage as vulnerability and inner work.

Om Podcasten

Exploring Carl Jung’s magnum opus, The Red Book, chapter-by-chapter. In each episode, Salome Institute director, Satya Doyle Byock, and Astrologer Carol Ferris discuss C.G. Jung’s vast work while reflecting on Jungian psychology and history, the astrology of Jung's time and ours, and the political, social, feminist, and anti-racist relevance of this work today. C.G. Jung’s journey into the unconscious began in 1913, just months before the sudden beginning of WWI. It was this descent, laboriously documented in a large red leather book that has come to be known as "The Red Book" that underlies all of Analytical Psychology, also known as Jungian Psychology. You do not need to be steeped in Jungian Psychology or in astrology to enjoy this Jungian Podcast. Satya & Carol make this work socially and personally relevant for people of all backgrounds, even those with little experience with this material.
