In this insightful lecture, Terence McKenna discusses Carl Jung's work and its connection to Hermeticism and alchemy. McKenna expresses a deep interest in the Hermetic arts having been influenced by Jung's studies in these fields, but not without addressing some criticism.

McKenna suggests that magic might be essential for addressing modern challenges and the world's redemption, contrasting it with the limitations of science and politics.

McKenna discusses the concept of "coincidencia oppositorum" in alchemy, which challenges scientific thinking pointing out its blind spots.

He connects alchemical philosophies with Jung's psychological insights, advocating for a revival of spiritual and esoteric traditions.

This, he proposes, could lead to a deeper, more interconnected understanding of our existence while reempowering imagination as a pathway to unity and development.
