Embodying a Transformative Vision | Jung At Harp

Nearly every Friday morning, around 9:15, I meet with a Jungian Psychoanalyst. No, no … it’s not what you think — she’s a harpist – and for years, we’ve been having this weekly conversation about music, philosophy, and the experience of transformation. In public. Online – as a video podcast. And YOU’RE invited to join us for Jung at Harp today starting around 9:15.

In last Friday’s “Jung at Harp” episode, Kathleen and I started by looking at the fascinating “Caterpillar and Butterfly Metaphor” — that mind-blowing transformation from a squishy caterpillar into a majestic butterfly. And my favorite aspect of it: the mysterious ‘goo’ stage where the caterpillar melts in the chrysalis and unlocks the ‘imaginal disc’ that holds the secrets of transforming into a butterfly, even though the caterpillar itself has zero clue what’s going on.

The conversation shifted into the realm of music and to the power of harmonic progressions — the sequence of chords that underlie any melody – and how repeating a progression becomes its own cocoon – a playing meditation that expands our experience beyond the ‘ordinary’ self we know – a way to invite the unknown into our lives.
