31: Jung and the Book of Job, Part 1

Depth Mystic Community Podcast ·

2026/02/18

We begin an exploration of the Book of Job, mostly from Carl Jung's perspective. But it becomes clear that we can't cover everything in one week. Jung's Answer to Job is one of his most difficult and important books. And it is the perfect ongoing project for the DMCP, trying to penetrate the thoughts of perhaps the deepest thinker of all time, C.G. Jung!Discussions:Discord: https://discord.gg/KqE3EfKC9PFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1910776442826840

What is the most important thing in Jungian psychology? According to Depth Mystic Zach Tollen, it's the emergence of the Fourth person from the Trinity in modern times.

We dive into a discussion about the immigration enforcement protests. It's not necessarily a Depth Mystical topic, although we do bring in a depth mystical idea at the very end. Still, I think we have a balanced discussion about a very current event.Discussion Discord: https://discord.gg/KqE3EfKC9PFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1910776442826840

25: On "Hiding the Yang" in Modern Politics

Depth Mystic Community Podcast ·

2026/01/07

This week we talk about a theory Jungian Depth Mystic Zach Tollen has about the necessity of "Hidden Yang" in the political sphere. Of course, he uses his very idiosyncratic definition of Yang. But it's a definition he likes and one he stands by. He argues that sometimes the real power must remain secret in order for a large public entity, such as our nation, to function.Discussion Discord: https://discord.gg/KqE3EfKC9PFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1910776442826840

22: On Going It Alone, ft a Great Snake Poem

Depth Mystic Community Podcast ·

2025/12/17

We discuss Going It Alone. We start with an essential quote from Joseph Campbell, and then talk about why the Hero's Journey will always have moments when a person has no one to rely on but himself.

Depth Mystic Community Podcast ·

2025/11/25

Depth Mystic Zach couldn't find anything in society to hook into because he had a Metaphysical Divergence. In this episode, we explore the meaning of that term, and why it can cause a person to have to go his own way rather than joining groups which have different core beliefs about the nature of the universe.

18: Public and Responsible Not Knowing

Depth Mystic Community Podcast ·

2025/11/18

Sometimes you can get to a place where you realize that your condition of Not Knowing (e.g. What to Do?, How to Proceed?, the Meaning of Life, etc.) is not only not your fault, but that it's your responsibility to make your condition of Not Knowing into a public affair. Because if it's not your fault, then other people may find themselves in a similar situation where they also do not know, but ought not to be ashamed of it. And it's your duty to destigmatize such Not Knowing by making yours public

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
