| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Dr. Amy Robbins and welcome to life, death, and the space between. What do you get when you |
| 0:06.6 | cross a shamanic practitioner with a Jungian analyst? You're going to find out today when we talk |
| 0:12.7 | with Carl Greer. Carl practiced Jungian analysis and shamanic journeying for many, many years. |
| 0:20.4 | And today, he brings us the wisdom of why those two |
| 0:24.1 | modalities together are extremely powerful in healing. Carl has been, Carl practiced for 35 years. |
| 0:32.3 | He has incredible wisdom. He's 85 years old now and went back to graduate school late in life, went through |
| 0:40.3 | the analytic training program. And if you are a therapist out there listening to this, you know, |

| 1:19.4 | And his work on spirituality and how he understands a lot of what you're hearing today in terms of shadow work and archetypes, |
| 1:26.8 | all these things that are |
| 1:28.1 | sort of making a reemergence and a comeback are really Young's work. So Carl helps us better |
| 1:32.9 | understand what that work looks like. And I'm excited for you to hear this episode with Carl Greer. |
| 1:38.9 | We need at our table of awareness, the logician, but equally we need the intuitive, we need the mystic. |
| 1:45.8 | I almost died. I was allowed to go to the very precipice of death, of life and death, and look over |
| 1:51.5 | the edge. And I was allowed to behold what was there and allowed to come back. Most people |
