The Self Presents: The Collective Unconscious Pt 2

Second episode of my show The Collective Unconscious, recorded for Fnoob Techno Radio. This episode aired October 3rd, 2015 and features the likes of Juho Kahilainen, Cavalerra, A. Mochi and Milton Bradley, among others. A total of 18 songs in one hour. To give you all a taste of what's out there.

Inspired by the works of Carl Gustav Jung.

“Very early in history men began trying to express what they felt to be the soul or spirit of a rock by working it into a recognizable form. In many cases, the form was a more or less definite approximation to the human figure – for instance, the ancient menhirs with their crude outlines of faces, or the hermae that developed out of boundary stones in ancient Greece, or the many primitive stone idols with human features. The animation of stone must be explained as the projection of a more or less distinct content of the unconscious into the stone .” - Carl Jung, Man and his Symbols
 

"When the fantasies reach a certain level of intensity, they begin to break through into consciousness and create a conflict situation that becomes perceptible to the patient himself, splitting him into two personalities with different characters."

The Self presents: the Collective Unconscious Pt 1

Here's the first episode of my show The Self Presents: The Collective Unconscious. It aired at September 5th, 2015. As always in my techno sets, this set is influenced by the writings of Carl Gustav Jung.

The collective unconscious - so far as we can say anything about it at all  - appears to consist of mythological motifs or primordial images, for which reason the myths of all nations are its real exponents. In fact, the whole of mythology could be taken as a sort of projection of the collective unconscious... We can therefore study the collective unconscious in two ways, either in mythology or in the analysis of the individual. (Carl Jung. From The Structure of the Psyche, CW 8, par. 325.)





Archetypes constitute the structure of the collective unconscious - they are psychic innate dispositions to experience and represent basic human behavior and situations. Thus mother-child relationship is governed by the mother archetype. Father-child - by the father archetype. Birth, death, power and failure are controlled by archetypes. The religious and mystique experiences are also governed by archetypes.

The most important of all is the Self, which is the archetype of the Center of the psychic person, his/her totality or wholeness. The Center is made of the unity of conscious and unconscious reached through the individuation process.

Three times the road

three times the road

always the wrong turn

keep passing by

the gas station

the gas station

where the air is full

of gasoline fumes

and scents

of rubber rubber

if wheels fail to spin

pull the plug

pull the plug

get in the car

murderers won't go there

hide the axe

murderers won't drive there

spill the poison

murderers won't go to

the gas station

the gas station

it's home on the road home on the road home on the road

meet me there

i will pull over

meet me there

the gas station

gasoline fumes

i will love you there

the gas station

make love to me there

drive three times

three times

murderers won't go there

i'll hide the axe

if you swallow the poison
