Why do we distract ourselves? Why does anxiety feel disconnected from logic? And can the body express memories the mind has buried? In this episode, we impact Carl Jung's ideas on metaphysics, the unconscious, and the hidden relationship between the body, mind and spirit. From 7 sermons to the dead to the process of becoming conscious of what drives us, we explore how symptoms, addiction, emotional flatness and creativity may all point towards something deeper... This is a conversation about inner life and what happens when we stop avoiding it.

Gnostic Quote & Inner Daimon1:49 – 3:25

E

EricHost

1:49

Otherwise, into the heart of the matter, there's that great Gnostic quote.

E

EricHost

1:55

So I just wanted to drop it at the beginning.

E

EricHost

1:56

Daniel, it's one of my favorites from the Gospel of Thomas.

E

EricHost

2:00

I try to share it whenever it comes up and is appropriate.

E

EricHost

2:02

So it says, if you bring forth that which is within you, what you bring forth will save you.

E

EricHost

2:07

If you do not bring forth that which is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you.

E

EricHost

2:13

Wrong language from the Gospel of Thomas.

E

EricHost

2:17

And that just hit me because Jung is like a Gnostic person.

E

EricHost

2:21

And he'd obviously be very familiar with that kind of thinking.

E

EricHost

2:24

So this whole idea of whether or not you follow what is within you would have been a big deal for him.

E

EricHost

2:30

So that's one of my favorite Gnostic quotes.

E

EricHost

2:32

What do you think about that one, Daniel? Is that one yours?

D

DanielHost

2:36

I mean, I've never heard it before.

D

DanielHost

2:37

Oh,

E

EricHost

2:37

no shit.

D

DanielHost

2:39

I don't know if it could be my favorite.

D

DanielHost

2:41

I just absorbed it.

E

EricHost

2:42

Well, maybe it will become your favorite.

D

DanielHost

2:44

That's right.

D

DanielHost

2:44

The possibilities are endless.

E

EricHost

2:47

Yes.

E

EricHost

2:48

Yes.

E

EricHost

2:48

Lots of Gnostic quotes, but maybe you vibe with this one in the end.

E

EricHost

2:52

Yeah.

E

EricHost

2:54

Sorry, my voice is being a little funny.
