What happens when your inner “hero” becomes a tyrant? In this episode, I follow Jung through Splitting of the Spirit into “Murder of the Hero,” where he symbolically assassinates the heroic ideal (Siegfried) to make space for a new, living center. Along the way, we explore projection, why repressing “negative” thoughts backfires, and how modern tools like CBT can help us interrogate the stories we tell ourselves.
I also share a pair of dreams that echo Jung’s visions. If individuation asks us to retire yesterday’s ideals, what are we brave enough to lay down?
