Finding Hermes 9: The Metaphysics of Jung

[@sciagurrato1831]

The clarity and the facility with which Kastrup expresses himself - with little or no misspeaking or self-correction is mesmerizing. Ultimately breathtaking when you think that English is not his native language. Kastrup is one of the greatest thinkers of our time - one leg stands on science/technology (his first PhD) and the other on philosophy (his second PhD) - which provides him with the insight to range on thinkers from Schopenhauer to Jung. His debate with Sabine Hassenfelder, an experimental physicists, is brilliant, even startling like watching a great tennis player against a good tennis player.

As a connoisseur of Kastrup interviews, this was a really good one!

[@TheWorldTeacher]

Good and bad are RELATIVE. ;)

[@zicozeus9546]

Relative to him, he means

[@FR-yr2lo]

Really? II love him but it's his worst one.

[@benk.psy32]

This was absolutely incredible. The section about synchronicity blew me away, particularly because now I can assimilate the notion of "a world that unfolds in a web of associative meanings" in the process of relevance realization (a concept John Vervaeke elaborates upon). This was truly beautiful, thank you!!

My 2 favorite thinkers in one podcast! Thank you so much for inviting Bernardo.

[@TheEighthHouseSol]

Thank You God for Bernardo Kastrup. A million times over. Thank you for this Man. Whatever veiled love I have is for you and everyone else but yea, you did what I have not been able to.

[@cervantes01]

I've read Bernardo's Book and it's excellent, highly recommended reading.

[@fernandobaetajr]

I'm a fan of Kastrup. Congratulations!

[@KassJuanebe]

Thank you, Miguel. Great conversation. Beyond "interview." First time here, but have listened to many hours of Bernardo and read two of his books. Loved your exploration of the archetypes. I had an experience 25 years ago where I "became "multiple archetype figures. Very profound experiences that have never left me.

[@indigobluerainbowsun]

Such a wonderful interview

[@ljohnson7124]

Great interview, so appreciate this! So grateful for Bernardo’s insightful perspective on Jung, and that we are the eyes of nature. And hands! As nature discovers what it’s like to have hands

[@adamadams7314]

Brilliant interview; both interviewer and interviewee.

Great talk!

[@BlackestSheepBobBarker333]

I have litterally been listening to Jung all day lol. Excellent timing on this lol. Leave it to a Psychologist to so elequintly explain what plagues society.

[@adriancsmith6552]

Great insights into the mind of Jung from a very knowledgeable and articulate guest. Thank you!

[@samrowbotham8914]

I recently read the Jung book and would have liked to have seen more on the Gnostic Jung. I am now halfway through Brief Peaks Beyond which I am really enjoying. Then I will dive straight into More Than Allegory and I have read all of Bernardo's books. As I keep telling him please write one on Bishop Berkeley as he is the modern great-grandfather of Idealism and I think it would be a good book to write in light of what we now know regarding quantum physics. Berkeley is an important philosopher with respect to Idealism and I think it would be very nice to add him alongside Schopenhauer and Jung. Great discussion MC as always.

[@inglestaemtudo]

Wonderful interview!!! Not many people will believe, but a big synchronicity happened to me while watching this

[@TheWorldTeacher]

Try me.

[@sjorsvanhens]

For every 1000 new age larpers there is 1 Bernardo. And that is worth it. It took an engineer to finally decode Schopenhauer and Jung to the common public. I wonder if he thinks the dissociative personalities (our egos) cease to exist after death. In other words, if he is a monist.

[@maurylee5239]

Regarding the intuition of meaning: As an ecstatic mystical experience was fading I got a direct download statement of truth. "You are always surrounded by absolute beauty, always have been, and always will be, whether you are aware of it or not." In my pursuit of enlightenment I came to a paradox. I realized that I didn't need to feel enlightened because whether I felt realized or not, I was unavoidably That.

Excellent, fun interview!

This sounds like gaslighting by the archons/demiurge. "I didn't hurt you. You brought this on yourself. You attracted /manifested this black iron prison, not me. You made me hit you."

[@SlackKeyPaddy]

Watched Bernardo several talks on the New Thinking Allowed YT channel w/ Dr. Mishlove. Dr. Kastrup is a very interesting thinker.

[@mindistime1776]

Thank you, Miguel and bernardo! It has been a very thoughtful episode! I have been seriously needing to get back to reading “verbose” but very dear Jung!

[@jasmyneemmerick]

Top shelf discussion. Thanks!

[@ljohnson7124]

Stunning!!

[@adeptpeasant6161]

"JUNG BY NATURE" HA! That be a cool Bumber sticker! Thanks for this guys. I just ordered your book Bernardo. Miguel, I think u miss spoke when you said Covid. It's pronounced, Covid coup d'etat! Meow

[@paweljakubczyk2772]

Thank You. The Best!!!

[@mikerollin4073]

Excellent!

[@paulnoth1281]

At 09:32 Kastrup uses a term that sounds like “quasma-psychist” which I can’t seem to find. Anyone know how this term is spelled?

[@Artemis_1123]

Would you send me a link to Bernardo Kastrup Facebook group?? Thanks in advance

[@mattd8725]

I don't understand why we decide that meaning is something which meta-cognition builds up, like a tower, so that everything becomes meaningful. Rather than something which is torn down, like a tower, so that what remains are what appears meaningful. Is it not that the process of meaning is the tower being built and knocked down over and over. What appears as the archetype are towers with a family resemblance which we come back to more often than others?

[@oleghrozman4172]

47:05 You mean Krzysztof Kieślowski ?

[@junglejuice4052]

First time listener here. Thank you. Very interesting. Subbed! I wonder though why Jung’s god can only be instinctual (without meta conciousness) without us? Did Jung say why he thought this was so? Also, what does Jung say (if anything) about the part that love plays in any of this (is god love? Is love only a human experience or is it something else)

[@SP-ny1fk]

8:25 - can this meta-cognition be tested in others? A Gom Jabbar or a turing test perhaps. We know that metacognition can be taught through the interplay of text and image, in the form of picturebooks for example. ‘Making ourselves and our children more conscious of the semiotics of the picturebooks through which we show them their world and themselves will allow us to give them the power to negotiate their own subjectivities" - P Nodelman "If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales" - Albert Einstein It is conceivable that some sectors of society are being taught metaconsciousness while others are merely being taught how to be good mechanical servants.

[@bronyatheistfedora]

Doesn't Jung outright say that this theory of the unconscious isn't metaphysical

[@ejenkins4711]

And if death is noy the end then what? ⌚🌪️🦁

[@davidwise3426]

I'm so tired of hearing about thought-forms, independently conscious entities creating from people's own consciousness. To me this thinking is a quasi-form of materialism and denial of a multi-dimensional reality. Years ago it was popular to explain paranormal phenomenon as caused by spontaneous psychokinesis, now it's thought-forms. Some people simply refuse to accept metaphysical events occurring outside someone's psyche. Actually I think entities that manipulate our reality are putting this idea into minds to keep their agendas hidden. If that sounds like a paranoid schizophrenic, then you need to learn a few things. Frankly I don't subscribe to the belief that what I "experience is only occurring in my head anyway" and should accept it as such, when I witness the effects in my life and environment. This discussion doesn't move the needle at all, sorry. I could only watch half-way through again.

[@asteroxfoundation]

Personally, I believe it is much like a magnet...the entities are pulled into the matrix both from our minds and from a higher plane...the attraction brings them into our reality....as above, so below.

[@davidwise3426]

@@asteroxfoundation The LOA is a principle that's oversimplified and oftentimes used to cherry-pick in specific cases. Would you say those King Soopers shoppers attracted the shooter in Colorado? There are average families moving into nice homes and terrorized by spirits for months or years. Do all these families attract such paranormal activity? Everyone isn't playing with Ouija boards, worshiping Satan or leading wicked lives. There are many things that happen that we can't explain like abductions, hauntings, etc. A simple "law" doesn't explain everything or many things for that matter.

[@asteroxfoundation]

@@davidwise3426 I do see your point. I feel we attract things when our thoughts go above a certain threshold. For example, just because I have a sudden thought of slugging someone, doesn't mean that I will. Thoughts are forms of energy, but manifesting them into reality calls for something more profound. Why the carnage of the innocent when an unstable individual fails to confront their inner shadows and demons, I do not know. Only God or the Demiurge can answer that one. So many lives affected when one fails to do the work of looking inward and making the proper repairs. The victims and their families will be facing much grief and sorrow to try to heal themselves...the culprit, however, has very little left of their eidolon to salvage.

[@davidwise3426]

@@asteroxfoundation I won't go into many details, which I have on plenty of occasions, but I daily encounter non-physical entities and they or it has an immense ability to know exactly what I'm thinking and I'm notified of it. I'm not psychologically unbalanced, have a clean background and can validate what many researchers have concluded. For your own enlightenment, open your mind to the possibility that many things are occurring outside your consciousness and your thoughts are being manipulated (my PC just glitched on me, happens when I disclose certain facts) by something other than your ego. If you can't accept this proposition or consider the possibility, that's fine, we're on different paths and timeframes. By the way, the "repair work" I do on myself is my own customized strategy that proves effective for me. Obviously you seem pleased with yours and therefore perhaps new ideas wouldn't benefit you. Peace and light.
