Quarterlife is the book that Satya needed in her 20s and that she's been looking for since for her clients. As a psychotherapist, Satya has focused on the stage of early adulthood—what she calls Quarterlife—and the need for a Jungian lens for that population.

In this final episode of our journey, Satya begins by reading Jung's Epilogue to the Red Book from 1959. Satya and Carol discuss Scrutinies, which Sonu Shamdasani considers the third book of "The Red Book." They talk about the recent synchronistic publication of "The Black Books." Satya breaks down the history of Scrutinies and The Seven Sermons of the Dead. Satya explores Richard Wilhelm and the Secret of the Golden Flower, and Jung's emerging understanding of Alchemy. Carol shares the horoscope from this time and the shift from the 12th house to the 1st house astrologically. Jung is beginning to translate this journey into a psychology, rather than a religion. Carol and Satya read through Jung's "Seven Sermons of the Dead" from 1916 and the strange experiences in Jung's home, in which the Christian dead visit Jung's home. They explore how Philemon has changed since "The Magician". Satya concludes by returning to the beginning. Chapter: "Scrutinies." THE END! Astrological Charts: Scrutinies - Dark Crowd / Worm

Carol explores the image of the serpent as woman and looks to Michelangelo's Adam, Eve and The Serpent in the Sistine Chapel.

Satya tracks the feminine in Jung's "Red Book" as Baucis stands in the kitchen. Carol discusses the coming into form of the yin yang pair of opposites. Jung asks where does one go to learn magic? Carol incorporates the Six Conformations of Chinese Medicine and Satya discusses the history of Jung's psychology as it leads to Taoism and the union of the opposites. Satya & Carol discuss the Ego-Self Axis, Jedi's, the Force, Karate Kid, and the importance of practice in connecting to the divine and the rhizome-like nature of the unconscious. Carol discusses the thinker and magician, David Abram. Carol speaks to the Age of Aquarius, The Great Ages (see chart), and when the "I" becomes "We." Q&A touches on Tecumseh's Curse, Baucis in the Kitchen, Jung & Quantum Physics, a return to our animal selves, the etymology of anima, and the somatic of Jungian Psychology.
