Thank you for this resource! I find that people are so sensitive about gender, and yet it informs literally aspect of their lives. Women saying “there’s no difference between men and women” and then say “I’m looking for a masculine man.” So we can’t escape it, and like with everything in the unconscious there is so much to gain from unpacking it in the depths of your soul. I even sensed some trepidation of talking about it in this 1986 recording. Jung reminds me of Nietzsche, where it’s actually controversial to read his works that were inspired by the unconscious. It makes them so vital and rare, and I’m finally glad to understand how women are using this to great effect. I mean the idea that in the boss babe, sensitive guy era, where no one is dating or mating at the same levels, where isolation comes in the name of inoffensive unity. We need this great thinkers inspired work, done over a lifetime and revealed relatively recently, because as someone who’s spent his whole life studying philosopher, I have never encountered a psychological explanation and system of tools that can do what Active Imagination and an understanding of the archetypes can do. Someone asked me to describe it, wondering if it helps you see into the future. I told her it feels like falling in love, more than any kind of self help concept. That is what makes Jung so truly special, his worldview even allows for androgyny and gender bending or ideally whole people. That’s why integration not only explains the confusing things we’re seeing in the modern world, but how to embrace them in a very special way, internally and externally, to unlock true transformation worthy of myth.
