Have you ever wondered what's really happening during an ah-ha! moment? 

In this video, I talk about C.G. Jung's concept of the transcendent third. When you can hold the tension between what feels like opposing ideas or forces, eventually, a reconciliation between the two will happen. 

This is exactly what's happening during an ah-ha! moment. 

But what do you do with the insight? Sometimes, the initial liberation is overcome by a kind of buyer's remorse. 

Anyway, I hope you enjoy a little instruction along with my reading of a passage from Chapter 6: The Clash of Convention and Liberation. 

Enjoy and please share with others.
