Depth Mystic Community Podcast

by Zach Tollen

Religion & Spirituality Philosophy

Season 2

46: Man and Machine Random Convo 1

The basic philosophy of Depth Mysticism having been covered in Episodes 1-44, we are now calling that Season 1 and transitioning into Season 2, where we just have a weekly conversation with no preplanned topic. The topic that came up naturally this week, however, was Man and Machine in relation to Zach's fledgling video game. And so it is!

Season 1

45: Intermezzo

This week, a short "Yin" intermezzo. Admittedly, we are still perfecting the craft of doing such Yin episodes. But we also want to make space for this type of episode, because it's certainly a part of the big picture. For the next intermezzo, I'd like to be more comfortable and open up more space for deep relaxed meditation. But part of Yin is being incomplete, uncomfortable, and still finding one's way, which is a part of life. Does that make sense?

44: Yin and Yang in America and Politics

In this episode, Depth Mystic Zach Tollen preaches extensively on Yin, Yang, Freedom, Slavery, America as Idea and Country, Free Will vs. Fate, elite politics, King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, the Egyptian Pharaohs, and Shamanism... and he ties it all together rather elegantly, I must say!

43: Nurturing the Mother of God!

We dive into an intellectual insight Jungian Depth Mystic Zach Tollen recently had, and how it seems to connect with the archetype of the Mother of God! Discussion Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1910776442826840 Discord: https://discord.gg/KqE3EfKC9P

42: Edward F. Edinger: A 20th Century Emerson

Our first question is about why the world is so dark nowadays, and then we proceed to this week's main topic, the great American Jungian analyst, Edward F. Edinger. (Then we tie the two topics together at the end, because Edinger definitely goes there!)

41: Why It's Called Depth Mysticism, plus Robert A. Johnson

This week we explain why I chose the name Depth Mysticism to describe our/my religious philosophy. Also, we cover the important works of another Depth Mystic, Robert A, Johnson, with whom I have the more in common than any other Depth Mystic!

40: "Mr. Unconscious"

This week, we talk about one of Zach's "autonomous unconscious complexes", how he encounters it in daily life, and its parallel to an important but mysterious figure from alchemy many hundreds of years ago! What is the Unconscious? What does the Unconscious think of Itself? Is that even a legitimate question? Yes, and it has a legitimate answer, and least according to Carl Jung, and in my own dream world! Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1910776442826840 Discord: https://discord.gg/KqE3EfKC9P

39: The Laundry

"After ecstasy, the laundry," goes the Zen Buddhist saying. For us, we're doing the Laundry after the Kenosis (the ancient Greek word for Emptying) of episode 38. Kind of a hodge-podge episode, a dialogue about what the episode should even be about. We find some stuff though. An Umbilical Cord to Reality! Among other things.

38: Kenosis

We talk about what Paul of Tarsus said Jesus had to do in order to save the world, and how this idea of "emptying" applies to our lives psychologically, and in particular to Zach's new identity as an artist, which he has to surrender to in order to finally develop the video game that is the other main part of his calling as a Depth Mystic.

37: Alpha and Omega Revisited, plus more on the Yoda of Depth Mysticism

This week we decide to revisit the theme of Alpha and Omega which we discussed back in Episode 15. We have our own idiosyncratic take on that phrase which applies exactly to who we are and what we're doing here on the Depth Mystic Community Podcast. Then we do another small segment on Carl Jung's, asking whether history would have been the same had he not existed.
