How can near-death experiences challenge and expand our understanding of consciousness and its connection to the transcendent?
Carl Jung's near-death experience profoundly deepened his understanding of the psyche and its connection to the universal consciousness, reinforcing his belief in life beyond physical existence. During this transformative episode, he observed Earth from a distance, encountered mystical figures, and experienced a temple-like structure within a meteoric stone, enriching his theories on the collective unconscious and archetypal imagery. This experience left an indelible mark on his professional theories and personal philosophy, intensifying his exploration of human consciousness and the continuity of life after death.
Universally consistent across cultures, Near Death Experiences (NDEs) are marked by out-of-body sensations, encounters with entities or deceased relatives, and environments filled with light, highlighting a shared psychological process at the boundary between life and death. Research efforts have effectively verified these phenomena, especially those corroborated in clinical settings, which challenge traditional views on consciousness. The transformative impacts of NDEs are profound, often leading to a diminished fear of death, increased spirituality, and a broader sense of self that integrates with universal consciousness. Open discussions enrich our understanding of NDEs within various cultural and historical contexts and provoke deeper reflections on consciousness as potentially expansive and eternal, aligning with modern and ancient perspectives on the human experience.

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. |
0:22.0 | 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. God. Today we're going to talk about near death experiences. |
0:41.7 | It is a wonderful and uncanny category of reported human experience. |
0:49.0 | Jung had a life-changing near-death experience. |
0:53.0 | He writes about it extensively. |

0:59.0 | particularly those who have been in active duty military who have had near-death experiences. |
1:08.0 | It seems that there is something remarkable that happens in both the body and in the |
1:16.0 | psyche when we are between the worlds so to speak. |
1:20.7 | Researchers, some of which are in the University of Virginia, actually find there are some |
1:29.0 | similarities between near-death experiences and they're trying to understand what what is this all |
1:36.5 | about and we're going to try to do the same today. |
1:40.1 | Yeah so apparently about 10 to 20% of people who have a situation in which they're near |
1:48.8 | death and then come back from it report these experiences and so I think we will start with just a very basic |
1:56.8 | definition. I'm pulling this definition from the Near Death Experience Research foundation website which is a wonderful resource and that is |
2:07.7 | N D E R F dot org and we'll put that in the show notes too and they define it in this show notes too. And they define it in this way. |
