In this episode Chris describes his fascination with Carl Jung’s Red Book and the symbolism-filled stories it contains. He describes Jung’s meditative, lucid dreaming-like process whereby he generates them and admits that he has never been able to recreate this process himself. And without Jung’s so-called ‘active imagination’ to aid him, he describes his journey...

In this episode Kyle and Chris discuss a recent interview with the Prime Minister of Greenland and Piers Morgan on the topic of potential U.S. territorial expansion.
