  • Nietzsche and the Crisis of Nihilism

    Nietzsche and the Crisis of Nihilism
    Aug 22 2025
    This episode explores Nietzsche’s diagnosis of nihilism in Western culture, detailing its forms—despair, disorientation, and lack of higher values—as seen in Schopenhauer, Buddhism, Christianity, and the 'last man.' Nietzsche critiques old values, sees nihilism as inevitable, and calls for overcoming it through life-affirmation, new values, and the creation of the Übermensch, who embraces the will to power and eternal recurrence as solutions to meaninglessness.

  • The Devil, the Shadow, and the Path to Wholeness

    The Devil, the Shadow, and the Path to Wholeness
    Aug 15 2025
    This episode explores the archetype of the Devil across religion, mythology, and psychology, examining the duality of good and evil in human nature. It discusses projection, shadow integration, and the necessity of recognizing our capacity for both virtue and vice. Drawing on Jung, Christian theology, myth, and literature, it argues that only by facing our inner darkness can we achieve self-realization and true moral growth.

  • Alchemy: The Path to Inner Transformation

    Alchemy: The Path to Inner Transformation
    Aug 8 2025
    This in-depth exploration reveals alchemy as more than a precursor to chemistry—it's a symbolic journey of inner transformation. Drawing on Jung's psychology, the episode connects ancient alchemical symbols with the process of individuation and self-realization. Through stages like calcinatio and coniunctio, alchemy illustrates the integration of opposites, the quest for wholeness, and the healing of the soul, making its wisdom relevant for personal growth today.
