Plato's Allegory of the Cave is a powerful tale. Not only is it one of the oldest versions of what, today, we'd call the "matrix" or "simulation" scenario, it's the most practical, prescient, and esoteric. In fact, Plato's cave and the Republic at-large contain occulted layers of meaning that scholars are still discovering and debating about to this day. In this transmission, we'll summarize the tale and do a deep dive into its more esoteric, often missed layers of wisdom.

According to legend, the Tarot may reach back as far as ancient Egypt. Origins aside, the Tarot orbits numerous fascinating historical figures and events. Its archetypal symbolism is incredibly deep and is carefully tailored around major elements of western esotericism. Some of which stretch back to Neoplatonist geniuses like Proclus.
And, oh yeah, there's even a wizard battle or two in this episode!

Judy Tsafrir is one of those rare beings with both a rigorous conventional education and a deeply spiritual perspective. After a spiritual awakening in her late 40s, doctor Tsafrir began to integrate spiritual practices into her life and her medical practice in a multitude of ways. She has developed a multidimensional approach to healing that seeks to put the soul back into psyche.
In this mind meld we riff on the synchronicity that connected us, the power of ritual, Carl Jung, the strengths and weaknesses of conventional psychoanalysis, the power of visionary states, and more.
