The Archetypal Brain: Jung from an Evolutionary Perspective

- 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.

I have seen very few episodes of TJL that I didn't relate with and learn something profound from, but this one is by far my favorite and most illuminating to date. Thank you Lisa, please have this guest on again soon, we could all gain a lot from the perspective of reconciliation of opposites he espouses.
Hi from Australia! What a treat to have a fellow Aussie on my favourite channel to listen to tonight and on such a great topic too! I’ve had so many what could be considered “mystical” experiences too and there is something quite magical about the way music can transport us to other dimensions. This is such a great interview and I’ll have to get a copy of this book!
Love your discussions. Thank you
Excellent episode, most interesting. Thank you to you both for this.
Great episode! As a biologist, one of the things I appreciate most about Carl Jung’s observations and theories is that they mesh very well with everything I’ve studied
about evolution, developmental biology, and neuroscience.
This was so interesting. Thank you for interviewing Gary.
What a guest!!! Encore! Encore!
He's developing on the core of what is truly Jung!
And I want to ask him more about the psycho spiritual aspect of is experiences within the indigenous tribes.... :)
Thank you
I definitely want to join the experiment. I loved taking your class!
Love what he said, "these mystical expierences were a part of culture." They need to be apart of our cuture again!
Yeah, music is awesome that way. It's a double edged sword of sorts though. It's used to influence states of being, to sell us things we really don't want or believe, etc. You just have to always remember that. I enjoyed your guest today, thank you very much.
Lisa’s interview of Gary Clark is fascinating! I read the book when it came out, and this conversation enabled a deeper and more precise understanding about the importance of Gary’s work and how it relates to Jung’s ideas.
Very rich topic, amazing guest. Hoping to get hold of his book.
What a wonderful interview. I learnt a lot. Thank you.
Thank you both for a wonderful conversation. I learned so much! (I, too, was gobsmacked by what Dr Clark said about our likeness to birds in how we educate are young. Fascinating. 😊)
Thank you for this wonderful content 🌞🌞🌻🌞🌞
Thank you so much for presenting such a fascinating topic.
A really great guest!
Excellent. Enjoyed It.
Also, super interesting guest/ subject, and I can't wait to try to receive the transmission on the 25th!
cymatics is the study of sounds vibrations creating visible patterns on membranes We are 80% water . 528 HZ frequency is my favorite. . It's divinely liberating watching bubble cymatics express itself in geometrical figures, or listening to an organ in a Cathedral
We need an episode on AI!!! Interested in yall's take on it, as it seems so prescient and is gearing up to change almost every aspect of our lives.
Jung didn't believe the collective unconscious or "objective psyche" originated in the brain but in a transcendent psychoid realm that is beyond the reach and perception of the senses.
❤❤❤
Brilliant discussion! Thank you for giving weight to Jungs theories! The landscape of modern psychology and psychotherapy is in much need of this shift in thinking. The postmodernist and social constructivist view is heavily betraying the roots of what psychology stands for. Modern psychology tries its best to avoid dreams and the more developed theories of the mind, but they cannot ignore the numinous forever. I pray the psychedelic research opens some eyes to the possibilities of psychotherapy and healing pathology 🙏
I'm a male, and my wife and I are both very gender-conforming in most every way, except that I'm much more Eros-oriented and she has to do all the Logos thinking that I find miserably tedious 🤣
