Here is what I'm noticing: Although I am not familiar with Jung or Greek history in depth I find solace in the thoughtfulness and pace of this conversation. There is something here that is calling to me to see further, feel more deeply and honestly, and to become more dedicated and focused. I am full of feelings of gratitude and love for these gifts. Thank you both.

Great intervieu

I just came across Peter Kingsley, and being familiar with Adyashanti, that is a good endorsement

Beautiful: "our ambitions are our obstacles, to stillness, awareness and contemplation".

Dear Mr. Kingsly. As a livelong devotee of The Jesus Prayer, not belonging to any group or otherwise, I cant wait to dive into your work. I just came about you via a podcast by Adyashanti, a long time beloved teacher. Your work seems to embody an answer to my hearts insisting sadness.

Incredible. Thankyou 🙏

Amazing!!! ❤️

I believe that at certain junctures of our history, Masters appear to enact change. We have seen this with philosophy, healing, science and art. We need to come back to the sacred, first within ourselves. Can we begin by asking questions, by simply being curious instead of accepting the status quo. Waking up and taking responsibility for our consciousness.

Wonderful. Thank you for uploading 🙏🙏🙏

Big meeting of minds.

Beautiful. Enjoyed the Spirit of the Depths video as well. 🙏🏼🙇🏻‍♀️

Refreshingly quiet video. Not just information, but a teaching. The book CATAFALQUE is extremely illuminating and existential. Absolutely recommended.

This almost brought me to tears of happiness. Yes, we all must work to find and to hear and to see our own dead. They aren't given. I've been trying to do this for some time, but it was unclear to me what I was really aiming toward. Some of it has just crystallized for me; and now I'll be reading the Red Book. Sincere thanks.

Peter Kingsley's work has provided me with the key (clavis) to understanding not only Carl Jung, but also sensing the all-encompassing workings of the cosmos. He is a magician, no doubt in my mind, and I have now time-stamped my life to BK (Before Kingsley) and AK (After Kingsley). It becomes eerie when one apperceives the subtle workings of the soul, but it is simultaneously the most beautiful experience imaginable.

Wonderful to hear your voice Peter. I loved this book...hoping to be able to get Catafalque soon! Blessings...

Thank you for sharing this, we all could use Peter's words and inspiration more than ever.

Brilliant and merciful.

I remember in high school learning of the ancient derivations of many common words along with their astounding original meanings, and thinking there must have been something very deep at play in ancient Greece. Peter's work confirms these suspicions like no other source I've encountered.

I very much enjoy reading your writing. Thanks

Please give us more Peter talks. This is very needed and inspiring!

No puedo esperar a leer la versión en español que publicará Atalanta 🌻

❤️🙏🏻❤️

time for wider understanding Kingley still didnt come......my big respect for kingsley and evrything he wrote or said

A fascinating, rich conversation. I've listened to it twice, and I am addicted to its rich approach to the lower world that the age of reason tried to hide. The Universe is not "rational" it is a mystery I love to explore.

Peter Kingsley and his work are stand alone and his books, work and experience are for everyone and not for everyone...if you are ready, read Peter Kingsley's books, accompany them, allow them to accompany you. His work are for these times and for all times and he is true.

I believe this ancient tradition is rooted in Central Asia which once was labeled Turkestan.

Interesting to come upon this encounter. I was able to spend time with Adya years ago when there were only a few of us in a room in California. I have found all of his books to be amongst my favorites. Each offering such valuable deepening understandings. I have read most of Peter's books and especially love Catafaulk and finding out about the intensity of Jung. The tome Reality gave me a new understanding of Western Civilization of which I was acquainted somewhat through Osho's books on Heraclitus and Pythagoras which I love. I never understood how Empedocles and Parmenides views were inverted leading to our over focus on mind and rational thought. It all made sense to me of how the greatest taboo--knowing the truth of one's being was subverted, ignored, overlooked and denied in favor of the simulacra of ego persona. To read Reality is to literally enter into an altered state. Definitely night-time consciousness.

Mr. Peter Kingsley. Just few days ago I finished the quite manifold pleasure of reading all of you books. As a student of the exquisite for many years, I feel you are a rare important quide into things most serious and deep . Thank you. Thank you.

I think my mind just got blown away. Like hearing Terence McKenna talk...

Amazing. Thank you!

Thank you for talking to us ! We love seeing you talking to us about your books and your thoughts and your experiences. You are such a profound thinker. xx

Many thanks for your patience in diving into the depths and withdrawing the Gold from beneath the dross. I am finding your book overwhelming yet deeply fulfilling. I too have been honoured by crawling out of hell and your book speaks to me on a level that I rarely encounter. All the best...

Thank you Mr. Kingsley. Your work inspire many young generations.

Ah! My prayers have been answered. Peter, your voice is deeply important and resonant. A wider audience needs to be exposed to you, in my estimation. I know J Mishlove at New Thinking Allowed was bowled over and shocked by Catafalque, hopefully the two of you can correspond? His audience is vast. I also might mention Aeon Byte Gnostic radio...host Miguel Connor is a rather Genuine humane being. The world needs to hear your words...and it seems only a handful in academia know of you. Understandably, a youtube channel may not be your style...but how bad could it be? You’ve already traversed the depths of Hades! Wishing you and those you love well. This snippet really made my day....my Love goes out to you.

For so so long, we that follow your work, didnt hear even a word from you...nice to see you again...😊🍀

So epic

This guy has a lovely voice. I shall order the book now!

I look forward to meeting you in this lifetime.

Very interesting person and ideas.

It sounds like you are talking about the imaginal when you talk about the false split between dreams and reality. Is Corbin’s interpretation of ta’wil an awareness of what you’re talking about?. I’m just getting started with your work so forgive me if these are questions that you’ve already addressed.

It’s easy to think about the potion that Tristan drinks on the boat with Iseut(and really the whole romantic tradition in general) when they discuss apotropaic magic.

Thank you so much for this video..I really admire Peter Kingsley's patience for western oriented patient minds, preparing them for the Catafalque, abridging with the deep historical collective big memory...Sharing the pieces of links gradually with a dedicated effort in his works... Sharing his own mind-soul path so diligently, so naturally that enables his readers to re-discover their own roots to set them free (liber) for the future....It is a pleasure to watch him alive, unveiling western minds cluttered layers and hi-story.. Puzzle pieces on the Path to Wisdom ( Hikmet) ...For a bigger knowing beyond knowing ! For a new human Being beyond supposed humanity. Blessings Peter !

I noticed the endorsement from Victor Maier. No greater praise, Dr. Kingsley.

“To give birth to the ancient in a world that is new.” This is one of the many gems shared in this conversation between Peter Kingsley and Murray Stein. After watching, I find myself really looking forward to Peter’s new book. I’ve found his work to be compelling and at times a corroboration of experiences I’ve had that are difficult, if not impossible, to name. Thank you for this great discussion!

The reason I have to - and will - listen to this again and again, is because I'd assumed that some parts of me who heard it, had walked out the door long ago. I could tell from certain spine chilling moments, that when those parts heard the words they'd given up hearing, they turned around and started heading back. Oh how I wish Peter Kingsley could keep the conversation going, so I could find courage, company and the determination to meet them at the door. Thank you for this!

so so so good. I will be listening to this again and again. Really hope for more conversations like this with Peter Kingsley and Murray Stein. simply excellent!

I appreciate the commentary on our habitual response to personality #2, "The Mystery", starting around minute 17. "The thing is there is no 'Of Course...' with personality #2...". It reminded me of a section of Answer to Job that also particularly struck me: "It is altogether amazing how little most people reflect on numinous objects and attempt to come to terms with them, and how laborious such an undertaking is once we have embarked upon it. The numinosity of the object makes it difficult to handle intellectually, since our affectivity is always involved. One always participates for or against, and 'absolute objectivity' is more rarely achieved here than anywhere else" (section XVI). The "absolute objectivity" referred to here, I take to mean staying awake and responding to the thing itself apart from preconceived ideas and tendencies, which tend to either dismiss (the "of course" of the common rationalistic response) or concretize (the common 'true believer' response) the original numinous object. What strikes me so much about this passage is how he puts his finger on how it is precisely the "numinous" quality of a thing that evokes this response in us. It is nowhere more difficult to remain awake than in encountering the numinous. This is also evoked toward the end of this video, when Peter discusses the fact that the Greek word for incantatory spells (pharmakon) is the same word as for poison and the remedy for poison. In such a situation, what option do we have, but to remain awake? This is the challenge and the opportunity. Thank you for sharing this exploration!

Peter is mesmerizing, as usual. I found myself astonished by the connections made between Empedocles and Jung. I don't know what will happen to us if we ignore these messages from the deep.

ILLUMINATING. Thank you both for the conversation. Please continue the dialogue in the future.
