S2E52 - Jung’s Greatest Pupil Part 7 - The Holy Mountain

In this episode we tackle the chapters of von Franz "Archetypal Symbols in Fairytales" that describe the image of "the mountain." We hear fairytales from across the world that take us up and deep into the holy mountain where the gods reside, or the spirits live. We see holy mountains as a symbol of the unconscious the world over, Ararat, Sinai, Olympus, Fuji, and on and on it goes. Even in the pyramids, ziggurats and stepped temples of Mesoamerica, we see the symbol of the mountain, albeit man-made. Ascending the mountain is a spiritual quest; we risk all to climb towards heaven, to meet God and are rewarded for it. What is this treasure you ask? Listen to find out... Enjoy :)
