006: Magick on the Edge of Conciousness
Many traditions speak of the Higher Self as the real seat of our magickal abilities as well as the repository of our past life knowledge. Does this concept of the Higher Self have a corollary in psychology? Can we relate concepts like the Higher Self with notions like the unconscious mind? What about Jung’s “Collective Unconscious” or Freud’s “Super Ego?” What about left brain/right brain schemas — given that the right brain is accepted as being the non-rational, intuitive portion of the mind that “speaks” to us in abstracts and symbols? How much do magick and psychology intersect? Are we comfortable with that line? How can we better harness it to understand what’s really going on when we perform this elusive thing called “magick”?

An interesting discussion. I enjoyed the analogies between “mental abberation” and magickal thinking. Too bad the pod cast cut off abrubtly though near it’s wrap up. I’d have enjoyed hearing the tie-up comments.
