A collection of notes on/transcripts of Michael’s dharma talk series on Carl Jung and meditation practice that we’ve designed into a beautiful booklet titled, Forever Jung. This series is one of the more popular on the Awake in the World podcast. The talks were recorded at Centre of Gravity in Toronto each Tuesday over the month of September, 2012. The notes/transcripts were written by a handful of members of the Centre of Gravity community and were later edited by our staff.

Here is an excerpt:
“Freud and Jung
In 1909 Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud, who had been working together for a few years, were both invited to lecture at Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts. Freud left from Vienna, Jung from Zurich, and they met in London where they embarked on a boat headed for America. It would be the first time either had ever set foot there. The voyage lasted seven weeks. They developed a practice of waking up, putting on tweed, having breakfast, then working the whole day on their dreams. I don’t know if you’ve ever spent serious time out on the ocean, or in the natural world away from your usual surroundings, but we can dream very vividly when we’re not mapped into familiar footsteps. They would recount their dreams to one another, and then they would free associate – staying in the feeling tone of the dream you associate whatever relates to fragments of the dream. But certain dreams come from parts of the mind we can’t control, there are some parts of dreams resistant to association.”
