Talk to Me: Robert Thurman | WNYC Culture:
Talk to Me: Robert Thurman By WNYC Culture | Fri, Oct 30, 2009 Lecture Podcast Folio163Thurman300x393 In this dialogue Tibetan scholar, Robert Thurman was paired with the psychoanalyst Jane Selinske. Professor Thurman turned out to be more interested in analyzing Jung than in analyzing himself, but Selinske was able to ferret a few confessions out of the sly and playful professor.
Previous posts link to Alice Walker and Charlie Kaufman in this series. I have yet to listen, but it sounds good! I’d love for our local NZAP group do make some of these types of audio! The images a cool too. Sample above.

Charile Kaufman Bares His Unconscious – WNYC Culture
later:
I’ve listened to it now, and thoroughly enjoyed this.
Charile Kaufman Bares His Unconscious Monday, November 30, 2009 * Email * Share * Print * Like This Filmmaker Charlie Kaufman and Jungian analyst John Beebe plumbed the depths of the writer’s famously complex mind during a Jungian chat last month at the Rubin Museum. [From The Red Book by C.G. Jung] From The Red Book by C.G. Jung (Rubin Museum)
Kaufman and Beebe’s conversation was part of the museum’s Red Book Dialogues, which pairs analysts and artists in conversation about the godfather of the unconscious, Carl Jung. Kaufman interpreted an image of a person-shaped figure (pictured to the left), arched in pain or ecstasy, and outlined by a sea of blue wavy figures. Kaufman spent a lot of time arguing against imposing borders on life in general. The “notion of being protected from the outside world,” Kaufman said, is “false and ego driven.” They also explored Kaufman’s fear of running over someone while driving. “If I killed a bug, I could go on. If I [accidentally] killed a person, I don’t know how I could go on,” Kaufman said.

Alice Walker on Faith, Nature and Social Activism – WNYC Culture
I have not listened to it yet, but have the mp3 on my iPod.
Alice Walker is known for her fierce, poetic writing and her politically charged ideas. She opened up to a Jungian analyst in front of a live audience at the Rubin Museum of Art, one of our partners in the Talk to Me series.
Walker and the Jungian analyst, Harry Fogarty took part in “The Red Book Dialogues,” a series of conversations devoted to an exploration of Carl Jung’s work. Both Walker and Fogarty were serene and thoughtful, fitting for a museum filled with Buddhist art. They talked about faith and politics, as well as the solace Walker finds in nature.
In this two minute snippet I think I managed to get enough of the idea down, so I can elaborate.
Isomorphism – an insight -wl -mp3
I had a moment of seeing clearly how different phenomena can all be related under one heading:
Isomorphism in human relations.
I am writing this after making the audio, expanding on it:

I liked his talk. (Right click the link to download button) He goes into the state of the world with some enthusiasm & intelligence. He misses the Marxism that applies so thoroughly to what he is discussing, which is a pity, but he also amplifies it, sees the same stuff from another fresh angle.

Philosophers Zone – 17 October 2009 – What would Karl Marx think?:
Commodities, capitalism and computers. At a time when the Berlin Wall has fallen but Wall Street is decidedly shaky, a self-described lapsed Marxist takes us through some of the key philosophical and practical ideas of Karl Marx and argues for what is still useful today. What is worth keeping in Marx? He had his limitations but later thinkers have built on his core concepts and used his methods to produce results that still speak to the changing nature of work in contemporary Australia.
I am still intrigued by Dynamic Facilitation. I was recently asked a question about it: What about facilitator bias? Made me think and I discussed this question in various places. Clearly there is a lot of skill needed in the facilitation, however it is a clearly prescribed process.
Several things guard against excessive dependence on the facilitator, and prevent bias.
Then as I was pondering this a podcast arrived – probably had been on the ipod for a while:
Psychologist interviews Jim Rough. Shrink Rap Radio
It is an excellent interview, it is not full of technical details, the simplicity of the method continues to impress.
And on facilitator bias, Jim at one point shows how he does not say “I hear you … ” too much “I”, we want to leave that out. ”
Jim’s presentation makes what he does seem so ordinary and invisible that it is worth looking at Rosa Zubizarreta’s Manual for Jim Rough’s Dynamic Facilitation Method.
