To be a whole human means to search for meaning, to long for connection, to desire to be seen by some “other”—someone human and also something holy.

Our ancestors understood something that modern society has largely forgotten:

the body is not just a machine to be maintained, but a sacred vessel of wisdom and transformation

As elucidated in the early Greek mysteries, to engage in the healing field of the embodied soul, we must cultivate stillness in order to be penetrated by deeper levels of knowing and the mythopoetic awareness within.

Scholarliness alone is not enough; there is the knowledge of the heart that gives deeper insight. The knowledge of the heart is in no book and is not to be found in the mouth of any teacher, but grows out of you like the green seed from dark earth - Carl Jung

Trauma and the constant stress of modern life continue to fray the connection to our soul, often through minor but cumulative blows to our psyche

We are so broken down by this crushing weight of the everyday, we don’t even know that we’re not centered inside our embodied soulful life.
March 16, 2025 at 3:22 AM
Instead of sensing deeply and unraveling the clues that our embodied soul whispers to us, we analyze and fix, use drugs, or cling to what we already “know.”

We don’t know how to engage in a mythopoetic process with our imagination and emotion—a process that would cleanse our psyche and make us feel fully alive, fluid, and able to meet the outer world with honesty, in whatever form that world might appear.

It is rewarding to watch patiently the silent happenings in the soul, and the most and best happens when it is not regulated from outside and from above

Carl Jung states that we cannot have a soulful life without connection to our body – they are inextricably linked. We will demonstrate how to engage with our embodied soul and the inter-active field thus retrieving it from the shadow personally and professionally www.westmassjung.org/purchase_030...

People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own souls . . . and [they do] not have the slightest faith that anything useful could come out of their own souls…

The misconception that we are all just another cog in the wheel of a universe that can be dissected and understood intellectually is still a backbone of modern research and scientific endeavor today. Jung called Descartes’ desecration of the soul in matter that “idiotic clockwork fantasy”

“Imagination [right brain] is more important than knowledge,”
- Albert Einstein

“Knowledge [left brain] is limited while imagination encircles the entire world” (Viereck, 1929).

“The tyranny of the left brain can bring democracy to its knees” - McGilchrist

This imbalance distorts reality—seen in the fragmented perception of schizophrenia and the dehumanization of Nazi Germany. A world ruled by the left brain alone is a world stripped of empathy, meaning, and wholeness.

Nature seemed to me full of wonders, and I want to steep myself in them. Every stone, every plant, every single thing seemed alive and indescribably marvelous. - Carl Jung 🕊️

Whatever you experience outside the body, in a dream for instance, is not experienced unless you take it into the body, because the body is the here and now - Carl Jung

Jung states that we cannot transform without a connection to our body.

His journey, as chronicled in “The Black Books”, was to redeem the embodied soul from exile for modern psychology.

Using Jung’s embodied active imagination method we can engage with our soul embodied soul & re-member it.

Language is an operation of the left hemisphere, but words are mere signs when they are not contextualized with symbolic or experiential meaning supplied by the right hemisphere. The basic foundation of a whole embodied reality is missing.
