I listened to that James Hollis episode! It was really good. I want to read his books. Currently reading The Soul’s Code by James Hillman, another Jungian analyst, and it’s very thought provoking. My current goal is to become well read in Jungian theory. It feels deep and meaningful. I like that it considers things that are going “wrong” like emotional or physical pain as symptoms of a deeper soul message rather than things to medicate away or otherwise get rid of. That’s how I’ve always lived my life and approached my journey of self-understanding and growth. Also for what it’s worth, there’s actually a new age publication called The Numinous, and I had the same thought as you after first encountering that word. Lol

Very cool! - Thanks Suzanne for leaving the note. :)
I’ve got Hillman’s book sitting here beside me on the bookshelf. I read it many years ago, and it didn’t resonate as much as it did more recently.
I’ve really enjoyed reading Hollis’ stuff - and I often don’t listen to many podcasts, however, I enjoyed that Huberman one too.
Seemed like Huberman reverted to being a teenage boy in his dialogue with Hollis (and I don’t mean that disrespectfully).
(Jung also thought and wrote about synchronicity and the connection with the unconscious and other forces beyond human comprehension.)
