Archetypes and Eternal Spirits

In this episode, Oyani and Dr. Ray discuss the concept of eternal spirits using Jungian archetypes and the concept of pointing as introduced in the previous episode "Pointing in the Continuum".  In their discussion, they define eternal spirits in terms of valid configurations of the universe as determined by the laws of physics.  As the universe evolves from one state to another, certain quantities must be conserved like momentum and energy.  These conserved quantities are the symmetries of the universe, and they determine which configurations are physically possible.  For instance, the human configuration is clearly valid as well as the archetypes of chef, comedian, scientist, doctor, etc.  As valid configurations of the universe, these archetypal spirits are eternal since their existence is always a potential state of the universe that are consistent with the laws of physics.  The hosts further discuss how stories about these archetypes increase the probability that they will be embodied and observed in the future due to people's interactions with the stories.  They also discuss the concept of self as it relates to archetypes and what it means to see the self in others. 

So join us if you want to hear about Jungian archetypes from the perspective of stories, physics, and information, and as always stay turtlin' my friends!
