Summary
How can understanding the symbolic power of twisters help us navigate and transform the chaotic forces in our lives with resilience and wisdom?
Twisters symbolize the spontaneous upheaval in the ordinary affairs of life that can be annihilating or transformative. These swirling vortexes are manifestations of the sacred, expressions of celestial and generative power that were communicated to the terrestrial realm. From Kiowa legends to Jungian analysis, tornados personify an aspect of the unconscious capable of volatility and violent acts of destruction, yet the same forces provided life-giving rain. These wild archetypal storms signify inner turmoil, grief, and erotic passion. They symbolically evoke psychic tension gradually building to the bursting point or more sudden in-breakings of highly charged transpersonal energies. If we can face the power of these vortices of force, inner and outer, we will come to know the source of our own life.
Prepare to discover what deep psychological insights can be drawn from the symbolic power of tornadoes in our lives, how diverse cultural interpretations of storms can enrich your understanding of personal and collective challenges, which archetypal elements resonate with your own experiences of chaos and transformation, whether the metaphor of twisters can be a guide for navigating life's emotional and spiritual upheavals, why the storm, as a potent symbol, captivates the human psyche and represents the balance between destruction and renewal…and so much more.

| 0:03.0 | Three good friends and Jungian analysts, Lisa Marciano, Deborah Stewart and Joseph Lee, |
| 0:09.0 | invite you to join them for an intimate and honest conversation that brings a psychological perspective to important issues of the day. |
| 0:17.0 | I'm Lisa Marciano and I'm a youngian analyst in Philadelphia. |
| 0:22.0 | I'm Joseph Lee and I'm a youngian analyst in Philadelphia. I'm Joseph Lee and I'm a youngian analyst in Virginia Beach, Virginia. |
| 0:27.0 | I'm Deborah Stewart, a youngian analyst on Cape Cod. In light of all of the tornadoes that are happening in the United States |
| 0:41.1 | right now, we were moved to think about the archetype of the tornado, its mythic significance. |
| 0:50.0 | How can we orient to the inner tornado, which has all kinds of valences? |
| 0:57.0 | Whirl winds show up in the Old Testament, scooping prophets up into the air. The voice of God speaks from the |
| 1:06.6 | whirlwind. Interestingly, the word tornado and the idea of the tornado is uniquely |
| 1:12.4 | American and America has more tornadoes |
| 1:16.6 | and most other parts of the world. Native American myth explains it, thinks about it in many different ways, and I know in my practice |
| 1:28.1 | clients frequently have dreams of tornadoes, which I often think of as |
| 1:33.9 | visitations of the self. |
| 1:36.6 | So today we're going to lean into this |
| 1:39.2 | powerful, awful archetypal dynamic. |
| 1:46.0 | I was very curious about, you know, it's a storm of course, |
| 1:52.0 | variation on maybe a larger arch of storms. |
| 1:57.5 | So what's difference between a tornado and a whirlwind or a hurricane or you know other sort of cataclysmic weather |
| 2:06.2 | events and what I learned and I hope there are no meteorologists out there who are going to be able to correct what |
| 2:16.2 | are my inevitable errors here is that first of all tornadoes come on very suddenly. So it's not like a hurricane where at least |
