Just discovered and J Hollis and Jung; I have the intuitive knowing Jungian methodologies will change my life for the better. How I wish I would have listened to my philosophy Prof in college; he said, "You really ought to check out Jung, you'd probably get a lot out of his work." I was young, had my own ideas, and didn't heed his advice; I can't help thinking about the ways my life would have been so much better if I had! I'm 56, now and my old stories ain't cuttin' it anymore, so...guess it's still not too late! TY Don Huntley for uploading this for all of us, allowing us to better our lives!
We have to be thankful to people who introduce us to things that benefit us even when we are not ready. 😊 People rarely change or develop overnight, so good teachers know it is all about planting seeds.
that would be kinda boring, but I know what you mean. Although I believe that there are many other great thinkers that should be studied, or rather that each one of us has it's personal spark of wisdom and interests that he should cultivate, so I am for more diversity :) but 2/3 of the population that looks deep within and comes forth with raw diamonds that they then polish to share with the world? Amen to that!
When I listen to Hollis I am stirred not unlike when I had first discovered Emerson. The breadth of his knowledge touching upon a depth of learning and a lifetime of absorption in the classics is very impressive. Yet even more poignant is his simple humility as a teacher encouraging us all to follow our greatest truths.
I am so grateful for finding Hollis' work. I got the opporunity tp interview him a few weeks ago and will be releasing it via my podcast in a couple months.
Adventures Through The Mind Just listened to your interview. Great stuff! Please do more on Jungian psychology, dreams, archetypes, and other states of consciousness (besides psychedelic). Love your podcast!
I looked over some of Hollis books many yrs ago,, was not impressed,,, here I am some many yyrs later,, skipping through his lecture, = not impressed I';ll stay with Von Fraz and Jung. I will never make a goiod Jungianistism.
Brilliant, colorful - strong poetical choices - always great to find such hidden treasures on the Internet. But Dr. Hollis's approach is gentle - that's not American!
questioning is good but it is not the goal. the goal is beyond the goal or one may say leaving the goal for what it is, letting it be. a goal is a concept as any other, like me or mine or them and others, good and bad. it doesn't matter. inside each one of us is a mind, sharp like a blade, that cuts through duality. it doesn't matter if we believe it to be so or if we think it is BS. mind cuts all perception and cuts any notion down that raises in hope of independent existence. there is nowhere an independent entity can arrive but openness and having nothing to hold. nowhere to arrive. unborn. bright and shining through, in and out all the illusion of existence. om ah hung
Well isn't that the million dollar question! What consciousness is depends on who is asking, but there is a general idea of what it is. From a Jungian perspective consciousness is the active principle. It is associated with the Sun, day-time, exploration, awareness, the eye, etc. From a cognitive science perspective we have a few different theories, these are a few of the main ones. The truth is probably somewhere in between them all. Global work-space theory - Consciousness acts like a desktop for underlying processes to be visualised and manipulated within. Integrated Information Theory - Consciousness is a product of the integration of the various parts of the system (i.e. CNS/BrainMind) Radical Plasticity Hypothesis - Consciousness is a learned trait which arises from the brain learning to care about the information it is processing. It discriminates based on importance, meaning and salience. Parieto-frontal integration theory - Consciousness is centred in the frontal lobes, particularly the parietal lobe.
The phenomenon that allows an evolved primate to tap his fingers on a keyboard formulating words into a sentence derived from the being's psyche that asks the question, _"What is consciousness?"_ The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. The whole in the aforementioned phenomenon is consciousness. Or... Consciousness is nothing more than a fictive myth or construct that constructs all constructs.
James Hollis is loaded to the gills with wisdom. Love this man.

Even Jung would be impressed by Mr Hollis , he reminds me of the great Nathaniel Branden.
Jung spoke to his close associstaes about his dislike of JungIANisms, Such as Hollis is giving us. No thanks I';ll pass.
Imagine a world where 2/3rds of the human population are Jungians or study / read Jung...
It will happen

This man is wisdom incarnated, and I’m not being hyperbolic.

My Myth? What you believed as a child and forgotten to investigate.
loving finding these James Hollis videos in this Covid-19 turbulent time
I looked over some of Hollis books many yrs ago,, was not impressed,,, here I am some many yyrs later,, skipping through his lecture, = not impressed I';ll stay with Von Fraz and Jung. I will never make a goiod Jungianistism.
Thanks for posting this. I discovered Hollis this past year and am benefitting from his work.
Gift of God...
Holy Hollis...
I love Dr. Hollis.
Great video. Eye opening. Ty for sharing
category 'comedy'? Really? Hollis is far from a comedian, and he speaks of very important, serious matters. I love to listen to him.

Has the universality of art been poisoned in today’s culture to the point of being void of nutrients ? ...or is it just me ?
Tim Brady amen.

H1llman & Holls excellent .
I find it so odd anyone would give this a "thumbs down"... if you are reading this, would you tell me why?
Maybe they saw the comedy tag and were disappointed that the content was serious with only subtle points of humor? Lol
After listening to this i feel psychic emptiness. So what?
👍🏽🙏✨
