Ben Folds WGUC Interview

The interview begins @ 6:24

In this enlightening conversation with Dr. James Hollis, renowned Jungian analyst, we dive deep into the psychic underpinnings of our religious traditions and explore the profound concept of the soul. Using Jung's understanding of God as a starting point, we traverse the labyrinth of depth psychology, examining not religious theology but the spiritual essence embedded within our psyche. Dr. Hollis challenges preconceived notions of Western healing approaches, underscoring the importance of addressing long-term developmental tasks contributing to our life's suffering and our existential quest for meaning. We probe into the power of choice, its pivotal role in harmonizing our inner and outer worlds, and the necessity of viewing our lives through a transpersonal lens. In a contemplative reflection on his own life and the influence of Jungian theory, Dr. Hollis encourages us all to engage in a deeper dialogue with our lives, acknowledging the humbling realization that we aren't truly in control. Our discussion pivots to the human propensity for constructing theology, culture, and structures as conduits to the mystery of existence, bearing the psychological imprints of their originators. We navigate the intricate dynamics of resistance within the relationship between ego and the unconscious, emphasizing our responsibility for the choices we make. The existential query is central to our exploration: "What stirs your spirit to evolve and redefine your life?" We touch upon cultural sickness, institutional failure, and the potential for growth within tradition, culminating in a discourse on gender fluidity, the impact of consumerism, and the essence of a truly healing analysis.

This exploration offers listeners the tools to navigate towards their own 'true north', fostering a stronger connection with their intuitive inner life. Join us as we transcend the diversions of popular culture, and dive into the depths of our collective psyche.

You're what matters most
You're what matters most
You're what matters, You're what matters most

You're what matters, You're what matters most
I don't care what people say cause you're what matters, you're what matters most

Let's Break the wall between us down and hold each other close
I don't care what people say cause you're what matters most
Let's Break the wall between us down who cares if people know?
I don't care what people say cause you're what matters, you're what matters most

Let's Break the wall between us down and hold each other close
I don't care what people say cause you're what matters most
Let's Break the wall between us down who cares if people know?

What Matters Most (Original Mix) (Clip)

Freestyle Lyrics:

You lost control of yourself
You seem to have forgotten what matters most right now
To you

Can you even recognize me now
After everything I’ve done
You can’t seem to move on
After everything you’ve been through

Although I’m no longer here with you now
Just know that I’d wish I was
Time will never stop it’ll go on and on
Until the day we’re gone
And there is nothing left
For you

Can you even recognize me now
After everything I’ve done
You can’t seem to move on
After everything you’ve been through

Although I’m no longer here with you now
Just know that I’d wish I was
Time will never stop it’ll go on and on
Until the day we’re gone
And there is nothing left
To do

(Prod. Sapjer, Sk1pa)

Join depth psychotherapist and Jungian scholar, John Price, in an exploration of extraordinary stories and phenomena that lurk beneath the surface of normal and everyday life. Listen in as John interviews experts, dilettantes, sinners, and saints to explore their professional and personal perspective on the underlying purpose of the mysteries which lurk within the seemingly mundane nature of day-to-day life. 

John received his Master’s degree in clinical psychology and his Doctorate degree in Jungian psychology. He is in private practice and is also on the faculty of The Jung Center and The University of St. Thomas, both located in Houston, Texas. He lectures and teaches classes in subjects ranging from Parenting and Consciousness to Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll. 

This podcast seeks to accept a challenge laid out by Carl Jung:  to explore the universal human feelings of emotional incompleteness, spiritual curiosity and one’s related search for wholeness and meaning. Interviews commence with the belief that, by engaging in this exploration, we can learn more about the psyche, consciousness, spirituality, philosophy and the profound, though often hidden, meaning of the day-to-day lives we lead (or which will lead us, if we aren’t watchful).

Come along as John follows people into bars, universities, places of worship, financial districts and the home. He finds each context equally able to provide a setting for this worthy search and also that, through this process, we have an opportunity to come to know each other and ourselves much more deeply.
