This week we talk about a theory Jungian Depth Mystic Zach Tollen has about the necessity of "Hidden Yang" in the political sphere. Of course, he uses his very idiosyncratic definition of Yang. But it's a definition he likes and one he stands by. He argues that sometimes the real power must remain secret in order for a large public entity, such as our nation, to function.

Depth Mystic Zach Tollen first provides a new name for the week in between Christmas and New Years. (Why hasn't anybody yet named that week yet?) Then the host asks him to explain what roles a Depth Mystic might typically play upon returning from the Spirit World to society.

After quickly floating the idea of doing a Christmas Special, host Zach and his guest decide instead to just revisit the Depth Mystic's concept of Alpha and Omega as it applies to their current circumstance.

We discuss Going It Alone. We start with an essential quote from Joseph Campbell, and then talk about why the Hero's Journey will always have moments when a person has no one to rely on but himself. It's an important part of any hero's journey. Includes a discussion of Monkey Brain vs. Snake Brain. And an award winning poem, Serpent In My Bedroom, by Zach Tollen!

We ask about Carl Jung's 1921 book Psychological Types and what it means for our overall historical era. Hint: It's a BIG deal!

Theme music is the original song I got (circa 2003) for my still-future video game.

Depth Mystic Zach couldn't find anything in society to hook into because he had a Metaphysical Divergence. In this episode, we explore the meaning of that term, and why it can cause a person to have to go his own way rather than joining groups which have different core beliefs about the nature of the universe.

Sometimes you can get to a place where you realize that your condition of Not Knowing (e.g. What to Do?, How to Proceed?, the Meaning of Life, etc.) is not only not your fault, but that it's your responsibility to make your condition of Not Knowing into a public affair. Because if it's not your fault, then other people may find themselves in a similar situation where they also do not know, but ought not to be ashamed of it. And it's your duty to destigmatize such Not Knowing by making yours public. And that's what Podcast Host Zach Tollen and Jungian Depth Mystic Zach Tollen are doing in this week's episode.

In this week's episode, we just talk about the challenges of going solo and trying to maintain the balance between what IS and what OUGHT to be. It's a short episode but it's not bad.
