The hosts begin to discuss where their minds are going when looking at the Enneagram Centers of Intelligence. The team explores how they feel the centers both as a concept and how they’re operating in their lives. They briefly discuss what the centers are and their first impressions of how they operate in the unconscious versus the personality. The conversation mainly starts to dive into the body center, where we’ll begin the journey of the Centers.

Links to the three ‘disturbing’ archetypes living within each of the hosts:

As we start to wrap up our exploration of the sexual instinct, the hosts share their personal journey over the past couple of months. They go back to the starting point, discovering how each person had a different psychic place where this material impacted them. The conversation unfolds into the nooks and crannies of the middle part as themes of body, matter, spirit, and social complexes take form. By the end, in true sexual instinct fashion, the current mess of the hosts’ progress is expressed as themes of vulnerability, pleasure, and how we treat ourselves.

For part two of sex in dreams, we explore the more spiritual and archetypal connections of the sexual instinct and the act of sex. Kaisa brings in concepts revolving around Pan, Eros, the culture’s projections and current struggles, love and creation, sexual energy transfer, and emotional connections. A lot of the topics discussed evoke personal emotions, dreams, and stories that we can relate to and expand on for our path towards inner work and growth.

The trio is back to revisit the mysterious concept of Anima/Animus. The concept is discussed more abstractly this time, exploring the ‘third’ element’s role and energetic component when working with dreams. We talk about how the Anima/Animus wants to challenge who we think we are and how we think we should operate in the world based on our unconscious, habitual patterns in our instincts and type. Focusing on the more uncomfortable things to bring to consciousness, we allow ourselves to be more fluid and adaptable in order to strengthen and familiarize ourselves with our inner Other. We speak a lot about how popular the negative inner Other is in others and within our own personal lives in order to maybe shed some more light on an authentic connection.

Continuing our previous conversation, Kristen and Kaisa dive into the dream symbols of sexual blinds’ dreams. We pull from examples of themes in many sexual blinds, including Kristen’s own personal reflections. The inner ‘Other’ is talked about as it could ‘clothe’ itself in a distant, unobtainable figure, which sparks a conversation about sexual blinds desiring comfort and validation rather than distinguishing their own unique polarity and taking a risk. The Patriarchy is brought up again, and how this personal and societal concept is embedded in our psyche and therefore influences our sense of sexuality. We also talk about partners, exes, and strangers, and how to start to differentiate what we might be associating with them in a dream.

With our Princess Sammy missing, Kaisa and Kristen discuss the symbols that could appear in sexual types’ dreams. We first discuss some general, archetypal symbols that might be commenting on the sexual instinct. 

We thought it was best to separate the symbols in dreams by sexual types and sexual blinds, since the feelings and energies are usually hiding more within the sexual instinct rather than within just the tangible symbols and situations. For sexual types, we talk about repulsive people or objects, liminal spaces, and magical or godly images. This also invites conversations about the ego self axis, polarities in the sexual instinct, and how the ego may be using the persona to achieve sexual goals.

It’s finally here; we’re talking about sex in dreams and how it relates to the sexual instinct. In this unplanned, spontaneous episode, we discuss anything that comes to mind with sex in dreams and what it could mean. We talk about a few of our own dreams and make interesting distinctions of what’s ‘missing’ based on our instinct stacking. 

We ‘let go’ of our usual, informative banter in this one; having more of a free-flowing discussion and making a lot of room for jokes. We’ll try to take it more seriously in Part Two!

In this episode we enter through the triangle and discover what 1+1 really is, and why the magic number 3 could be a portal through transcending our usual suffering of jealousy and anger. We break apart the tension of polarities and how to use that tension for accessing a third perspective. Understanding how the ‘third’ element is showing up in an unconscious way, and how to cultivate a more authentic ‘third’ aspect whether alone or in a relationship, can strengthen the connection to a person’s sexual instinct. 

Kaisa shares a personal story to illustrate the impact of triangulation in waking life. We also give a few examples of dreams that have mirrored the process, and different ways to ‘play’ within the triangle and break out of the typical pattern of awareness. We wrap up the podcast by reflecting on a few different ideas of masculinity, femininity, and the Eternal Now.

A second mythological theme we look at in this episode is dismembering and reassembling. This theme is shown through shamanic traditions and the myths of Dionysus, Osiris, Ymir, etc. We discuss why dismembering and reassembling would be important in the sexual instinct, and also how it might show up in an egoic way. We bring in some of our own dreams where this theme shows up. 

Along with this mythology, there is also an aspect of ‘eating of the flesh’. Since the veil between this world and the realm of the dead is thin around the time of Halloween/Samhain, we get extra spooky in this conversation with topics of fleshy spiders and eating corpses.

To begin our dive into some of the mythology of the sexual instinct, Sammy presents a dream she’s had on this journey so far. It has a strange connection with the story of Hephaestus, so we discuss the similarities and differences, and how it all relates to Sammy’s process and the sexual instinct itself. Sammy’s story mirrors Hephaestus, going all the way back to her birth and the medicine the dream could be giving her now. We talk about how this myth is alive today in the collective, and therefore operating in each of us somewhere individually. The trouble of accessing creativity, the building of resentment and pain, the archetypes hiding under our own complexes, and other topics start to unfold in this conversation. 

The book we are referencing from in this podcast is The Principle of Individuation by Murray Stein.
