Expert on all things archetypal, Laurence Hillman, Ph.D returns to the mind meld.
Laurence holds a Ph.d in psychology, he’s well versed in archetypal psychology (he’s the son of its founder, the late James Hillman, who’s had a huge influence on me) Laurence is also the creator of Archetypes at Work and has spent his life studying the archetypal grammar of astrology.
In this one, we riff on the archetypal meaning of synchronicity, fate versus free will, dreams as a conduit for archetypal communication and much more.

From acorns to archetypes to soul journey to storytelling ... from mystics to alcoholics to Mercury to cheese-selection ... from left-brain to right-brain to tribalism to alien(ation) ... this is a riveting, world-class, alchemical conversation. 💫💖🙏

As someone who just recently embraced the mythical and magical, one part of the resistance by the left-brain imbalanced (i am still recovering) is the fear of being seen as foolish and irrational. I love the what are you giving up question.

This was amazing, ranking up with Mind Melds with Godsey! An avalanche of wisdom, all of which my ears needed to hear at this point in time. I have been asking "what is my purpose?". I have been going through an awakening for the past few years and this conversation answered so many questions for me. Thank you Michael and Laurence!

[@THIRDEYEDROPS]

✨🙏✨

[@tomrhodes1629]

Just found this channel, excellent. I'm the prophesied return of the biblical prophet Elijah, and synchronicities were key in my education. Everyone's purpose here is exactly the same and for the exact same reason - but it's the most esoteric secret in this entire Universe. Want the modern version of The Emerald Tablets? Want The Philosopher's Stone? The Book of GOD, just a click away. I won't be aware of any responses to this comment, but I'm easy enough to find.

[@haychlee]

Very nice conversation to listen to, thank you both. I'm enjoying the energy of Feb'24 and I'm moving forwards with a positive inner power. Will listen again, to get more to stick. Big hugs xxx

[@deb4610]

Thanks for having Dr Hillman back! I’m reading his book “Planets in Play” and it ties a lot of different concepts together for me. Since I have some knowledge of astrology, it is an easy way for me to look at and try to understand and “see” the different archetypal forces. Interesting conversation ❤️

[@user-bh1fo2wg1g]

Conversations are like Tree branches, they start with one branch and you never know which branch you will take next

[@Gnosticpunk]

This was great! glad to see you have Dr. Hillman back on the show. Big fan of his father's work and had no idea he had a son until I watched your first interview with him. I am curious how he feels about Tarot and if he would consider that as one of those alternative tools you can use to find meaning. It's always been curious to me that Jung never talked about Tarot much, being that is has so much rich archetypal imagery.

[@Jason-O-]

While the host was discussing his sync regarding his cat meowing (7:30). I looked down to find my cat looking up at me meowing. WOW

Much of this conversation reminded me of “The Master and His Emissary” by Dr. Iain McGilchirst. Fascinating stuff, on both accounts. 👏

Thank you both and I also liked Stein; would listen to his audio while jogging on the treadmill. Now Tarnas was a huge fan of Hillman too . Funny i never heard Peterson talk about Hillman but Jung always. Thanks so much for your podcast❤

"The difference between an alcoholic and a mystic is consciousness." Well. That blew my mind. Thank you Mr. Hillman.❤❤

[@mattgraves3709]

As someone who is in a huge worldwide community united for spiritual reasons and personal growth while also helping others, we are acutely perceptive of synchronous and see it often. Some of us, many of us have lost everything, freedom included only to have tapped into this and gone to the other end of the spectrum, successful by every metric.

[@apokalupsishistoria]

8:45 I think more relevant to Jung, Odin has a lot of the same characteristics as Mercury (where even today Wednesday = Wodens Day and in French they have their Wednesday as “Mercury’s Day”)

[@susannaemmerich1166]

[@charlesmay897]

So I'm listening to your interview and it starts with a reference to Mercury. I just had my natal chart read after having seen the first interview you did with Lawrence and both buying AND (actually) reading two of the books you listed, only to learn that Mercury is my chart ruler, which was a complete surprise. This is synchronicity and confirmation that there is a path and I've never not been on it. The difference is that now I "know the place for the first time." Now I'm going to nuzzle in for more...TY for sharing the road

[@THIRDEYEDROPS]

Morphic resonance as discussed by Rupert Sheldrake seems to have a connection to synchronicity.

Maybe a dream is your higher self running a simulation of another life of you

[@michelleramauro8602]

According to Jung the Self archetype is generating dreams/dream images, it is our transcendent self with a priori knowledge of who we are, are meant to be, our life purpose

[@adrianbenedictmendoza6818]

I do believe in Spiritual entities being individuated or separate from human beings while also being the archetypes inside the human psyche. Worlds within and without. The fact that even depth psychologists were also quite afraid to take the Archetypes as literal, independent beings says something how deep and deceptive the nature of spiritual warfare is. In occult traditions, archetypes called Egregors. Even non physical constructs like companies, corporations, social movement, institutions have underlying archtype or spiritual entities influencing them. Satan - It's just your brain Lucifer - It's all your mind

[@WilliamMartin74]

As far as your analogy about the open world RPG, the Jungian, Robert Moore wrote an excent book, specifically for masculine people, called King, Warrior, Magician, Lover. It deals with the quaternity of masculine archetypes and how to balance them. PS, in classic WOW, I play as a Nightelf Rogue, in order to sort of be independent (single player). It's of course, not the way Blizzard intended the game to be played. This is also generally how I live as well. Sometimes games are a way to further live out an archetype.

The 20 day cycle and the 36 decans are the best we have, and we have had them globally for thousands of years. Those instantaneously correlate with sequence and function of the periodic table and the 20 standard amino acids.

The issue with the transgender movement is the amount of influential children claiming to be trans because it’s popular. One girl in a friend group of 7 will claim to be trans and later they all will claim the same. Some people are truly suffering, and it’s become a fad.

Why is free will suddenly a binary question?

Which archetype do you guys think has been normalizing the phenomenon of minors having their genitalia surgically removed? Or laws making it a crime to misgender someone? I’m glad Jordan Peterson is “abrasive” about those issues. Someone had to step up.

[@getoncourse4621]

Trickster. It’s definitely the trickster because his job is to use the paradigm of an overemphasized archetype to bring another out of the collective shadow. The U. S. Has a shadow warrior archetype and a shadow royal archetype. We have a pronounced, magician and lover archetype, so what happens is the legalese from the magician combines with the promiscuity of the overemphasized lover. To balance them the warrior is needed. In fact, the whole reason the country has been overrun by crazy people is because we won’t get our goddamn warrior out of the shadow.

[@THIRDEYEDROPS]

Seems Aquarian to me - “The Aquarian Archetype embraces innovation through radical individuality, a strong will and originality. Celestial insight and democracy are also key characteristics of the Aquarius who favors original thinking as well as bizarre and eccentric attitudes.”

[@josephmorton1500]

@@getoncourse4621 Interesting take… and on that rationale, one could argue Trump and Peterson, along with those whom they’ve galvanized, as a representation of the shadow warrior awakening within the modern collective subconscious.

By archetypes do you mean soul guides? Its seems like hes using the term to describe soul guides but soul guides are just fellow souls who have taken on the job to guide you, they can also be apart of your own soul. I also disagree with the free will stance as a soul you have 100% free will and as a human you still the final choice in any action you might commit.

Do think that the archetype is the thern we seek to slap back into correct behaviour. The system however would much prefer that you ignore such treasures and class Jungian as mystical gibberish.

[@volvaheidrbores663]

Hermaphrodite does not mean Androgynous. True Androgyny is on the spiritual only, it's the male and female twin spirits together. ( twin flames, soul mates). It's all about gender and it can only be with the male and female together. Soul mates can't be the same gender. A Hermaphrodite is an error and can only happen on the physical world. On the physical , genetic and phenotypical level we're all female, All the bodies start out female in the womb, if it is to mutate into a boy it happens at week 6-8 in utero but sometimes an error happens, the body gets stuck in between, thats a Hermaphrodite, not Androgynous. It is an error that sometimes occur. On the spiritual level we have male and female. People are confused, taught wrong to push and enforce the agendas of the l-g-b-t. It's evil truly.
