Have you ever experienced something so strange and seemingly unexplainable that you felt almost crazy? Yet, simultaneously, there was an undeniable gut feeling that this moment held significance. There is a term for this phenomenon: synchronicity. The psychologist and mystic Carl Jung coined the term synchronicity and first mentioned it publicly in 1930. He described it as a \"peculiar principle active in the world so that things happen together somehow and behave as if they were the same, and yet for us, they are not.\" Jung drew parallels between synchronicity and the Chinese concept of \"Tao,\" emphasizing the union of opposites represented by the complementary pairs of Yin and Yang. This concept is rooted in the oneness of humanity and the surrounding cosmos, aligning with the alchemical credo: \"As above, so below,\" signifying the interconnectedness of the inner and outer worlds, psyche and matter being one and the same.
In this episode, you'll join a conversation between myself and my friend Michael Phillip, the host of the Third Eye Drops podcast and YouTube channel. Through the exploration of depth psychology, myth, mysticism, and esoteric thought, we'll delve into various ideas and concepts, including individuation (self-realization), dream symbols, archetypes, and other Jungian and spiritual concepts that have guided us on our respective paths toward deeper self-knowledge.
Follow us down the rabbit hole if you dare… 🕳️🐇
