Thank you for sharing. This was a beautiful podcast! I realized I use a similar exercise to the Two Selves with my clients using a venn diagram to notice how some of the motives, joys, aversions, or other aspects of two competing parts overlap or work together synergistically. I’m sure you just scratched the surface for the purpose of the podcast. Do you dive deeper in any posts? Would love to explore more ways to bring these parts into relatedness, especially when we are beginning the exercise essentially judging one as more or less desirable (10% versus 90% etc).
I dive more deeply in my book, Quarterlife, through the character Mira. I also spoke about this in the Apple in Conversation podcast -- hopefully you can find it easily if you search my name! Ultimately, it's all going to be scratching the surface, though, in terms of what we know happens therapeutically. The goal is to begin developing language around this tension within clients (all of us) and ways to work it into longer-term therapy for longer-term work.
I listened to the Dan Harris podcast and had to come over and see what's up. So much info packed into an hour. I am excited to see what's happening here and expanding my Jungian knowledge.
** I've always found that looking closely for the "parts" (aspects?) of myself I most dislike has been one of the keys to deeper (and sometimes, faster, even if more challenging) growth
** Love the reflections on synchronicity. I remember many years ago, leading a group of folks through the process of learning to be awake in dreams (not, as Carl Jung mistakenly thought, with the ordinary waking ego!). It occurred to me during those months we worked (and played) together that the experiential quality of lucid dreams was very similar to moments of intense synchronicity.
So I had them keep a "synchronicity journal."
Everyone had the same experience:
Over the course of just one week, the first day they did not notice anything or perhaps one seemingly trivial pair of events.
The second day, to everyone's surprise, there were a few or even a half dozen synchronicities, and far less trivial.
By the 4th or 5th day, it seemed there was a flow, on and off, all day, of rather remarkable synchronistic connections, so rich and flowing it was hard to mark them off as "separate" synchronistic occurrences.
Now, I don't recall exactly, but close to all 12 participants, when we met again at the end of the week, had the same realization: All of life is a flow of synchronicity, and so called "synchronistic events" are simply momentary openings to his ceaseless, awesome, wondrous flow.

Congrats Satya!! This is so wonderful.

Fascinating topics.
