299 - World-renowned Jungian analyst Murray Stein joins The Fifth Dimension for a deep exploration of the role of myth in the individuation process and its relevance for our collective moment in history. Together we discuss how reconnecting with inner symbolic life and archetypal patterns can help us address the modern crisis of meaning.

What we explore in this conversation:
-The role of myth in personal individuation and collective transformation
-How inner work and soul-mapping contribute to healing societal fractures
-The dangers of unconscious collective myth-making
-Archetypes emerging in today’s cultural landscape and what they reveal about humanity’s journey
-Jung’s view that individual transformation precedes collective renewal
-Practical ways to live mythically in an age of materialism and fragmentation
-The possibility of a new guiding myth for humanity’s future

This conversation with Murray Stein offers a rare glimpse into how our inner work shapes the outer world. It’s a dialogue about living with greater meaning, recognizing the myths that guide us, and stepping into our role in the unfolding story of humanity.
