Donald Kalshed's work has been so valuable to me, one of few people's work on trauma that actually speaks to me and for that I'm very grateful.

1:15:39 (comment from audience member) "In Hindu psychology it is said that when you have a trauma that you must overcome personally, then you would be individuating. But when you have an archetypal defence activated, then you are meant to help humanity individuate, and your task is beyond the personal realm it becomes a karmic task to help with the individuation of the community"
