This week we have the one and only Erick Godsey on the show! Erick is one of the most incredible people I have ever met, and it was a true pleasure to sit down with him to discuss some of the unanswerable questions of the universe. He is a man on a mission to change the way we all view mental illness in this country. Erick is a Jungian Psychologist, and a student of the psyche, myths, and dreams. He is a coach, an author, a mentor, and a friend. I hope you enjoy this very special episode!
In this episode, we discussed:
How the stories that we tell ourselves create meaning in our lives
Learning to listen to the “whisper” and taking action to find purpose
Our cultural story around mental health - How fear and resistance create borders in our lives
Erick’s early relationship with the concept of God and how that has transformed throughout his life
How we can use language, stories, and myths to transcend our evolutionary programs
How psychedelics and flow states can help us inhibit the default mode network and detach from limiting stories and beliefs
Erick’s current dharma and the work he is doing around mental health
Tools and works discussed in this episode:
The Selfish Gene - Richard Dawkins
A Journey of Souls - Michael Newton
