Brat McCay here in the welcome to the edition of the Art of Manliness Podcast.

There are two parts of the mind, the conscious and the unconscious.

While the former dominates your attention, the latter actually occupies far more of the

brain, influencing your mood, generating inspiration, and making you who you are, all

behind the scenes.

My guests would argue that to become all your meant to be, you have to make your unconscious

mind your ally.

And that this may be life's most important task.

His name is Dale Z. Lieberman, he's a psychiatrist and the author of Spellbound, Modern

Science, Ancient Magic, and the Hidden Potential of the Young Conscious Mind.

To tell you the show, Daniel first offers an overview of the nature, function, and study

the unconscious.

From there, we discuss Carl Jung's perspective on the unconscious and his ideas around

its archetypes and shadows.

We then get into the way that things which are connected to magic and supernatural, like

fairy tales and tarot cards, can be seen as manifestations of the energy of the young

conscious and as age old attempts to confront and understand it.

We in our discussion, by talking about the quest for individuation, which requires bringing

together the conscious and the unconscious minds, and how to go about tapping into the power

of the unconscious, become a kind of magician yourself.

After the show is over, check out our show notes at aawim.islashunconscious.

Alright, Daniel Lieberman, welcome back to the show.
