About This Episode
What lies hidden in the depths of the unconscious mind? In this talk, Klaas Laan explores the parallels between Carl Jung’s depth psychology and the Teaching of Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov, revealing how both visionaries saw beyond Freud’s psychoanalysis. Where Freud reduced human behavior to sexuality, Jung and Omraam emphasized spirituality, psychic energy, and higher consciousness as essential to healing and transformation.
Discover how Jung’s concepts of the *personal unconscious and collective unconscious* align with Omraam’s teachings on light, shadow, and the safe descent into inner depths. Learn why meditation, purity, and sunrise practices are keys to grounding spiritual work, and how the six levels of consciousness—from unconscious to cosmic consciousness—map the stages of spiritual awakening.
This talk also highlights the importance of integrating higher and lower nature—spirit and personality—to reconnect with our divine source, while cultivating a strong inner center to stay balanced in life. Both Jung and Omraam show that the unconscious is not a place of fear but a gateway to archetypes, cosmic vision, and spiritual growth. These subjects will be explored more in later talks.
Explore the path where psychology meets spirituality—light, shadow, and the *inner sun* within us all.

About this Series
Created by students of the Master, we explore Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov’s profound and transformative ideas that have shaped spiritual thought since the mid-20th century. A remarkable spiritual leader, the Master as he is generally called, introduced a “solar” consciousness to Western mysticism — radiating light, warmth, and life.
His Teaching covers everything from spirituality to esoteric wisdom, but always with one goal: practical tools for real life, including wellness, personal growth, and even planetary peace. From conscious eating through the Yoga of Nutrition, to love and sexuality, parenting and education, daily practices like walking, sleeping, and meditating, and connecting with nature’s beneficial forces — every topic carries a call to project purity, light, and love to awaken divine consciousness.
Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov showed how to live with dignity, build uplifting relationships, and reconnect with nature, breaking free from racial, national, and religious divides.
