Summary

In this show, Becca Segall Tarnas revisits the show to take a deeper dive into the Red Books. Both Tolkien and Jung had their own Red Books, which are an unbelievably deep exploration of the Imagination. To Tolkien, it is a Fae Realm, which he recorded for us in all of his books; With Jung, it is the Collective Unconscious. There is also an astrological component present in all the synchronicities between the two men which relate to the cycles between Neptune and Uranus. Being that Becca did her dissertation on the subject, there is no better person to talk to about such a rich and mind-expanding topic. We hope you enjoy our chat.

C.G. Jung from memories, dreams, and reflections, he reflects. I felt that at some time or

other I had passed through the valley of diamonds, but I could convince no one, not even myself when I looked at them more closely,

1:36.5

that the specimens I had brought back were not or were not mere pieces of gravel.

1:47.0

So these are themes that Beck and I will explore

1:50.9

in the conversation you're about to hear.

1:53.4

Not necessarily how hard it is to bring back something from the visionary world or the

1:58.5

Fay realm or the collective unconscious, but how to access it, to know that it is real, and to know how important it is.

2:08.6

And so what we do, when we have a tea time chat in the Faye realm.

2:14.0

We talk about her dissertation,

2:16.1

back of beyond.

On the red books, the connection between Tolkien and Jung

Ecology is covered.

2:29.2

Psychodelics make an entrance.

There's a lot of ideas that we touch on that kind of inform
