60: Zeus's Law: The Jungian Connection

Depth Mystic Zach Tollen traces the essential lineage of the ancient commandment—said to be enforced by Zeus himself—to be hospitable to strangers, all the way to the psychology of Carl Jung, showing how the myth of Baucis and Philemon was a cornerstone of Jung's mystical development and concept of himself.

59: Saving the World, a Quick How-To

Zach seems to have a fresh take on what it means to Save the World. The trick is to maintain the highest ideals while not losing touch with the earth. Sometimes you have to go on a hero's journey to do it. Other times it's just a matter of embodying the idea, even if you know you might not succeed.

58: Spiritually Transformative Experiences (STEs) and Their Communities (with acronyms!)

We discuss the differences between being a Jungian and having Spiritually Transformative Experiences, how the two don't necessarily align. We cover six different acronyms in all: STEs, NDEs, IANDS, ACISTE, CCRSTE (a new important type of STE!), and HSPs.

57: Am I Offering Mystical Consulting??

We struggle through a dialogue wondering if we ultimately want to be our own salesperson, or if we'd rather be attached to an institution where the salespeople—or the tax collecting thugs, as the case may be—are significantly distanced from the people providing the service. Capitalism versus Communism, and other Monetary Organisms.

56: Weak Yang! (And what to do about it...)

We discuss the concept of Weak Yang as it applies directly to our Slow Start writing our book and making our livestream. A pretty good episode! Substack: https://substack.com/@mysticzach Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1910776442826840 Discord: https://discord.gg/KqE3EfKC9P

55: A Short Episode About Live-Streaming (Potentially!)

Maybe we'll start Live-Streaming... who knows! The fate of the World may be at Stake! Substack: https://substack.com/@mysticzach Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1910776442826840 Discord: https://discord.gg/KqE3EfKC9P

54: The Definitions of Yin and Yang in "Zach-Tollenian" Taoism

Depth Mystic Zach Tollen has a unique but powerful definition of the Taoist concepts of Yin and Yang. Yin is Philosophical Femininity, which is different from biological Femininity. Yin is Reality. We cover Zach's elegant definition of this and of its counterpart, Yang, using the biblical story of the Garden of Eden as a perfect illustration. It's amazing no one has ever thought of these concepts in this way before!

53: Retribalize dot Org! Plus a Thing on Congress

This week, in the first half, Jungian Depth Mystic Zach Tollen confesses that he does not have all the answers! He has found a very astute innovator who has a startup called Retribalize which is pioneering in the modern world how to form that essential function of humanity that many of us have lost: being part of a Tribe. Here's that website: https://retribalize.org/ In the second half, the Depth Mystic explains Why (the U.S.) Congress Doesn't Work—in case you wanted to know about that!

52: Two Ideas: Divine Constraints, and Logoi

We cover two new ideas Zach is using to help him become more focused. Featuring a full recitation of the Apostle's Creed, plus a complete (albeit questionable) refusal to review Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey.

51: Splitting Our Identity!

Turns out we needed a new persona for our Substack since it felt phony to just be a Depth Mystic on that platform. Jungian Depth Mystic Zach Tollen, the Great and Powerful, will retain his identity on this podcast, but on the Substack, we are becoming a Nobody, an aspiring writer whose goal is simply to Say Interesting Things.
