Today, Kristen and Kaisa explore the idea of what ‘identity’ is, how it is seen by the ego, how it’s perceived or talked about in the ‘collective’, what even is the ‘collective’, and how confusing all of this stuff is. They discuss personal examples, where they are currently, and how this material is allowing them to change the way they see themselves and the world. “The self divided is precisely where the self is authentically located... We all have identity crises because a single identity is a delusion of the monotheistic mind... Authenticity is in the illusion, playing it, seeing through it from within as we play it, like an actor who sees through his mask and can only see in this way.” - James Hillman

Kristen and Kaisa enter the public realm for the first time in a live recording of their recent dream webinar. They talked about their upcoming course that is now open for registration, what they’re excited about and how the structure will be, and answered questions from the participants. Hosted by Josh Lavine from the Enneagram School and 'What It's Like To Be You' podcast.

Kristen and Kaisa take over the podcast in this episode to talk about the absolute importance of creating soul, and how you can be a part of a community in that process during their upcoming webinar and workshop! They reflect on their connection with their psyche and working with their dreams, and how they plan to allow that space for others to explore the unique connection to personal psychic material. The process of soul-making is different for each individual and can be cultivated and inspired by many ways of dialoguing with your dreams, which the workshop plans to supply.

In this episode, the dream girls discuss possible dream symbols of the heart center. Ideas of blood, flowers, religion, and lions are swirled around the minds of the hosts as they ponder about how these topics pierce the heart. They bring up where these symbols appear in their own dreams and how that makes them feel.

Kaisa shares an experience of internalized shame and an active imagination she did to understand where this shame is wanting to be understood. We talk about how deeply rooted this is within individuals and the culture at large. Last week, we talked about the enneagram 4 space, so this week we explored a bit more on the enneagram 2 space of ‘Love’. Loving ourselves and others is a very hard thing to do when we have a lot of complexes standing in the way of that resonance.

Sammy returns in this episode as one of her many incarnations; typed specifically for this conversation as sp/so 9w8 964. We talk about the aesthetics of the heart center and how that might land in the enneagram type 4 space compared to the other types. We discuss art, understanding emotion, identity, and image. The attempts to view the world and ourselves as a living, symbolic image can be difficult to discuss and describe but we take on the challenge.

Kaisa and Kristen freeform on this episode about how they keep running into head center ‘stuff’ as they read sources that feel like it’s talking about the heart. The symbolic implications of this are interesting to play with in the personal as well as the collective sense. They both bring in personal dreams to illustrate these simultaneous and relational centers. Kristen and Kaisa talk about belief, religion, truth, betrayal, and love.

Kaisa and Kristen continue talking about the themes, images, and other dissections of James Hillman’s essay, ‘The Thought of the Heart’. Along with general discussion, this episode loosely summarizes the previous readings and investigates possible future discoveries in the heart center and the realm of dreams. Some personal reflections and sporadic concepts make their way into the conversation and direct the flow of the two nines vibing and incising.

Jason E. Smith; ‘Religious But Not Religious'

Kaisa and Kristen talk about James Hillman’s essay ‘The Thought of the Heart’ and how it relates to our connection (or lack of) to the heart center. We have personal as well as societal reflections on this material and what it could mean for individual types and where the heart is operating in our/their type structure. We get quite animated about the hidden gems of the heart center, and are determined to see what we start to uncover in the unconscious on the matter.
