Episode has 2 Parts. Part 1 talks about the absence of Romantic Love, the absence of finding the perfect partner, as expressed in the They Might Be Giants song, Ana Ng.Part 2 imagines Zach as a spiritual teacher, and also as a student, asking him a question. The question? "You say you had a big mystic vision. So what's the deal with that? What does that mean?" I try to give the best answer regarding what any vision similar to my own means in our day and age, and the current state of our

Episode 12: Sign of the Robot

Depth Mystic Community Podcast ·

2025/10/07

12 is the number of months in the year, and therefore of signs in the Zodiac. In this episode, I talk about my video game, and how I use Carl Jung's notion of the transition of the astrological Great Ages—in our case from the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius—in the fictional world of my game. But since that world has its own star system, they have a different Zodiac altogether. Yet they still deal with one of the same issues we do, namely, how they can integrate tremendous advances in

Episode 10: The Eagle and the Toad

Depth Mystic Community Podcast ·

2025/09/16

I talk about the idea of Going Viral in the Internet Age. Then I link that idea to the alchemical "Emblem of Avicenna" that I use as cover art. The Eagle in that picture represents the urge to go Viral, whereas the Toad is where the "golden house" of alchemy is to be built. I also quote Ralph Waldo Emerson's essay Self-Reliance in relation to these images.It's a good episode!Cover art emblem by Michael Maier, colored version Copyright Adam McLean, taken from:

Episode 9: Scalding Hot Cauldron

Depth Mystic Community Podcast ·

2025/09/09

While the major part of my Mystic Vision ended in 2018, its contents remain scalding hot to this day, and almost impossible to present systematically. But what could be so powerful and intense that even I still can't handle it directly? I give my best explanation, invoking Carl Jung's discussion in his book Aion of the precession of the equinoxes, how the Christian era is connected with the astrological Age of Pisces how we are moving into the Age of Aquarius. I contend that it's better to believe

Episode 8: The Eight Ways, Truths, and Lives

Depth Mystic Community Podcast ·

2025/09/02

I introduce the eight Jungian psychological functions, describing how the original One becomes the Eight. Along the way, I mention that in the animal kingdom, only 4 of the eight functions exist, and how humans are special because they use an additional four. I also mention how the Myers-Briggs (MBTI) terminology can be misleading, and how the term Valuing should probably have been used instead of Feeling to describe the Feeling Function.

2025/08/19

I am now calling this public outreach my Ministry! But the elite mode of salvation I underwent left me wondering, if I can't preach that "whosoever would believe would have eternal life" like the Christians, then what value might I offer to the world instead? Find out in Episode 6 of the DMCP!

Episode 5: Two Modes of Salvation

Depth Mystic Community Podcast ·

2025/08/12

I introduce the term "Monologic Communologue" to mean, a community dialogue held by one person, talking to himself... which is what this podcast is... but is that even possible?Then I confess that I was saved by something other than the traditional Christian mode of salvation. Although my conversion was just as intense as that of any Christian, the force which saved me came from my encounter with Joseph Campbell, and the philosophy behind it is found in Star Wars, and in Ralph Waldo Emerson,

Episode 4: A Little More on My Self-Empowering...

Depth Mystic Community Podcast ·

2025/08/05

In the first section, I describe how my mystical experiences overruled my life, to the extent that I feel different from, say, your average Jungian analyst, and how I've had to discover in books that which I couldn't find in living people. I describe how the journey to embracing my own personal sense of right and wrong was a Herculean labor.In the next section, I talk about how Goethe's Faust can be considered the first great work of Depth Mysticism, and describe why it's needed.

2025/07/29

I explain why I think the best way for me to integrate into society is by calling myself a Depth Mystic and making this podcast, that I'm so different that it's almost impossible for me to do it any other way...In the second half, I talk about the influence of Japanese culture on my way of viewing the world, how I'd rather be like a Jedi than like Jesus. The theme song for this podcast was originally composed for a video game.

We address Carl Jung's fear of his psychology becoming another "-ism", and why we're okay about it regarding "Depth Mysticism".We go further in terms of what Depth Mysticism is. We mention Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's Faust, and Jung's Red Book, and how there needs to be something like a new religion to accommodate modern times.This impulse has been hindered by what I call the Rooster Religions.New terms for this episode: Ism-ism, Rooster Religions.

Episode 1, Intro to Depth Mysticism Part 1

Depth Mystic Community Podcast ·

2025/07/16

We start with a confession as to why it's called a Community Podcast.Then we begin exploring the term Depth Mystic, also called Jungian Depth Mystic.Depth Mysticism is akin to Depth Psychology, except that it foregoes the pretense of being totally objective, since all psychology is by definition at least somewhat mystical, since you have to use the mind to study the mind.Then we comment on the show's theme song, which evokes Rebirth and Resurrection. Depth Mysticism espouses an alternative form of
