My best friend got into Buddhism about 6 years ago.. around the same time I started reading my first psych books. I thought he was a weirdo but I was wrong. I’ve always been looking for a bridge in understanding between the western traditions in psychology and eastern spiritual understanding. And boom, here is the perfect commentary! Thanks bro
@@as_the_turntables yea man, I like to think I’m a little wiser now.. I hope so, but yea I probably thought that way when I was younger because I was raised Catholic and didn’t maintain an open mind to other ideas.. there’s a Jungian term for that state, but I forget it. Anyways, I totally see the connection and I no longer think he was a weirdo lol
@@NoLefTurnUnStoned. dang… you’re right bro, got them mixed up. Is that where they talk about reality being a cycle of lives called samsara and the dangers of attachment etc.? Cuz it was that one whichever it is!
@@domthagreenthumb8175 Yeah that’s Buddhism. They have some overlapping similarities. The principle of “Non-Doing” for example. But Taoism is much more minimalist you might say.
This is awesome! I was put onto the "Secret of the Golden Flower" and Jung's interest in that text by a recent book by the Australian jungian analyst Robert S. Matthews titled "The Paradoxical Meeting of Depth Psychology and Theoretical Physics". He talks about Jungs interest the concept of the mandala. It's very good
Translating the transcript, which is not word-for-word Jung, but an AI version, is like what must have faced the translators of the ancient texts of the Nag Hammadi Library! Nevertheless, we are grateful for the audio reading and the transcript. Jung is indispensable to anyone deeply interested in the gnostics, alchemy, psychology and self-realisation.
Consciousness. That’s all there is. Rest is a play. Shakespeare had it when he observed life is a stage. We are the actors playing our role.play ends. The body is changed. No big deal.
Blessing to all, you are not alone in your path. We are here, at far but close brothers and sisters
Amen.

@@domthagreenthumb8175 why did you think he was a weirdo? Buddhism is very much psychology based.

This Taoism not Buddhism.

Thank you for the reference!
This is both comedically contradictory yet fiercely beautiful and brave.
Truth is always a paradox, because it's beyond the opposites.
The tone of the reading is that of a museum audio tour.
Enjoy the tour, the museum is your own psyche.
