In past shows, Laura Shapira and Dr. Connie Zweig discussed various aspects of Dr. Carl Jung’s psychological theory of the human shadow as critical components of ourselves to acknowledge because if unrecognized, the human shadow begins to grow and evolve on its own, unconsciously and will usually show up in situations under stress. This as Dr. Zweig and Laura Schapira describe, is the moment to also recognize some of your own buried treasure. If this exploration is suppressed, your hidden treasure could remain buried.
Guest – Gary Bobroff says there’s an interesting transformation taking place. There is an ongoing shift away from negative components within dominant masculine energy and toward the feminine archetypes and models. Jung, Crop Circles & the Reemergence of the Archetypal Feminine is the title of his recent book. Gary describes his research using Dr. Carl Jung’s theories as a lens to examine topics such as the crop circle phenomena.
Early last summer, Dr. Paul Dobransky joined us live in the studio to talk about his visual system to understand and begin to utilize a healthy human boundary. He says your identity in life depends upon learning about boundaries, it’s also connected to learning how to be free from stress and how to command respect. We go in a different direction today and look at the effects of pervasive social media for young people and the psychology of men in context of the recent mass shootings. Late last week, the calls for stricter gun control laws have since dominated the mainstream media narrative but as many listeners know, there is a deeper systemic problem, that transcends guns and even race, it’s connected to men’s psychology according to our returning guest Dr. Paul Dobransky. Dr. Paul points out that the gunmen are always male that rarely have a woman, or romantic interest and work problems or no job at all.
What cultural factors have contributed to these psychological states in young men, whether they are naturally or unnaturally induced. Is there more of a weakness or vulnerability to exploit within the male species or is this a cultural phenomenon? Has our society forsaken the special considerations critical for the development of men and their psychology in these two areas of relationships and work?
There are other factors such as that 14 gunmen of the recent shootings were taking or withdrawing from psychiatric drugs such as Prozac, Zoloft, Trazodone, or Xanax. Nearly half of the shooters were seeing either a psychiatrist or psychologist.
Guest – Dr. Paul Dobransky is a psychiatrist, author, speaker and runs several websites, womenshappiness.com and menspsychology.com. He conducts seminars on dating and relationships with men and women. His system called Mind OS is the starting point for most of clients, and it covers a lot of material. But today we focus in on what contributes to overwhelming stress in young people, and the cultural factors connected to a healthy psychology in men and women.
We first hear part of a presentation from the late Dr. John E. Mack given at the International Association for Science Conference, Ft Collins, CO. September 16, 1995 – Studying Intrusions From The Subtle Realm: How Can We Deepen Our Knowledge?
Have you wondered who is moving in to the luxury condos and glass boxes towering over 3 or 4 story walk ups? Wealthy suburbanites are migrating into to New York for a quote gritty experience. But this kind of urban development and cultural transformation comes at a price as amazingly described and researched in Professor Sharon Zukin’s new book NAKED CITY: The Death and Life of Authentic Urban Places. It was published this year and once you start reading you can t put it down, especially if you grew up in New York City. It s an incredible break down of how Business Improvement Districts and other factors have privatized urban spaces in New York City. Zukin describes how developers have marketed the illusion of authenticity to those who can afford it and are willing to pay higher rents while displacing poorer working class tenants and families.
The book shows us that the desire for a gritty authentic experience has actually destroyed socially diverse spaces. She shows you how New York City has become standardized, from a historic perspective during the Harlem renaissance to the real estate aftermath of the World Trade Center towers. We have lost our public spaces and Sharon Zukin tells us why. This book isn’t simply about the gentrification of urban spaces, this is a standardization, a model used to revitalize large cities around the world.
Guest – Author Sharon Zukin is a professor of Sociology at Brooklyn College and Professor of Sociology at the CUNY Graduate Center. She s also the author of Loft Living, Landscapes of Power, The Cultures of Cities, and Point of Purchase.
Educator and activist Cindy Pikoulas gives an update on the push back against Common Core Education Reform. —– We’re living in a country with full knowledge that its government and corporations have been allowed to access private data of its citizens. A critical breach in any democracy. Personal computer data, financial and travel data, information about your relationships, your buying habits, what you eat are some examples of what is being collected and stored in data bases about you. How is knowledge of the surveillance state effecting people’s behavior, our culture and the so-called democracies around the world?
Our guest Executive Director of the National Lawyers Guild and co-host of Law and Disorder radio attorney Heidi Boghosian has written a powerful book titled Spying on Democracy: Government Surveillance, Corporate Power, and Public Resistance. She has detailed how the government acquires your information from many sources such as telecommunications companies and compiles a digital dossier on you. All of this information can then be pulled up for the authorities at any time without your knowledge. The media is saturated with stories on the many aspects of government surveillance and corporate spying. Many are outraged, some are indifferent and meanwhile corporations are making profits, big profits. Some argue we’ve traded our privacy for the two magic selling points – security and convenience. Are we to blame? Did we create this ourselves? If so, could we undo it or is it too late? But also, what has it done to our ability to dissent and become effective activists?
Guest – Heidi Boghosian, executive director of the National Lawyers Guild. She is the co-host of the weekly civil liberties radio show Law and Disorder on Pacifica’s WBAI in New York and over 60 national affiliates. She received her JD from Temple Law School where she was the editor-in-chief of the Temple Political & Civil Rights Law Review. She also holds an MS from Boston University and a BA from Brown University.
We’re bombarded with propaganda daily by the alternative media as well as the mainstream. Dr. Judy Wood had suggested that the 9/11 truth movement was created before the catastrophic events of September 11th, 2001. If that’s the case, those involved in building the psychological operation knew there would be a flow of people who won’t believe the 9-11 Commission Report. So, a large arena is built to corral those searching for more information. One stop shopping for truth. This is what our returning guest Matthew Delooze calls the second net. Some of us have our gills caught, tangled, twisting in the deep sea, a target for predators that know there will be easy prey in the net. to fleece the net for prey. Professor Eric Larson talked in depth about gate keepers within the so called progressive left. Infiltrating liars acting as journalists. But Matthew’s work focuses on the industry of alternative media itself, the wal-martz and home-depots of truth. Matthew’s work can be found at MatthewDelooze.com.
