Summary

Encountering a total eclipse can evoke a primal connection to nature and the infinite, constellating a deep sense of belonging to the universe and each other.

Eclipses profoundly impact observers, evoking awe, transcendence, and a shared sense of unity. These celestial events encourage deep personal reflection and stronger social connections among those who witness them. They transform ordinary moments into extraordinary ones, re-enchanting the world and reinforcing the bond between humanity, nature, and the cosmos. Mysterious and awe-filled, in ancient times, Eclipses inspired myths and religious rites that shaped culture, politics, and even war.

Prepare to discover...how human beings engage with and interpret awe-inspiring events; what effects awe, mystery, and the numinous have on the human psyche; where individuals and societies find meaning and transcendence in natural phenomena; whether events like eclipses can re-enchant a disenchanted world; which aspects of human nature are illuminated by our reactions to eclipses; why the human response to eclipses and similar events can be a profound source of insight into our collective and individual psyches, revealing deeper truths about our fears, hopes, and the interplay between consciousness and the cosmos...and so much more.

0:00.0	Welcome to this Jungian life.
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.

0:35.0	Today we are going to talk about the eclipse, which makes perfect sense. Lisa has gone down to Texas to watch
0:47.8	the eclipse and our video engineer Jano has also gone down to watch the eclipse so it seems that the power of the
0:56.3	eclipse is thrumming through our little community and of course it's captured the imagination of so many millions of people and
1:06.8	we thought we would just walk around that and talk about it for a little bit.
1:12.0	Yeah that's what to me is so compelling

1:42.0	Oh my goodness that we are somehow missing this opportunity to access the
1:49.4	numinous, although I am curious about how numerous this is.
1:57.6	What a compelling event it is
2:02.2	to have the world blacked out for a total of eight minutes I think.
2:08.8	I think that the total eclipse is something rather brief, but of course all the excitement leading up to it and
