This is the first of three podcasts on the post-9/11 wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, continuing the argument that the same unhealthy masculine, us vs. them worldview and Shadow traits that inform the subjugations of women, Indigenous Peoples, and Africans/African-Americans in U. S. history were also catalysts for these two wars, and as previously noted, Vietnam.
This podcast is also available in written format on Substack.
You can review the intention, context, background, and general trajectory of this newsletter/podcast on the About page. Here’s the short version: we’re taking a multidisciplinary (history, developmental psychology, culture, gender, race, spirituality, etc.) look at America’s collective Shadow (Jungian sense) and competing narratives as they manifest historically and currently, and offering some prospects for healing narratives and Shadow integration.
