The Persona: Masks We Wear Podcast only

“The Persona: Masks We Wear”
(John’s Tarot – Soul Awakening Series, Episode 5)
In this episode, we explore the Persona — the social mask we develop to function in the world — through the lens of Carl Jung’s psychology and the Tarot. The Persona is not false or deceptive; it is adaptive. Yet when we mistake the mask for who we truly are, we lose touch with our deeper Self. Jung taught that the Persona forms early in life as we learn which parts of ourselves are accepted, rewarded, or rejected. Over time, this necessary adaptation can harden into an identity that feels exhausting, inauthentic, or hollow. Individuation begins when we gently loosen the grip of the mask and reconnect with what lies beneath it. Using Tarot archetypes such as The Magician, The Emperor, and The Hierophant, this episode reveals how the Persona operates, how it protects us, and how it can quietly imprison us when left unquestioned. ✨ In this episode, you’ll explore:
• What Jung meant by the Persona
• How social masks are formed
• Why the Persona is necessary — and limiting
• Signs that the Persona has taken over
• How the Persona appears in Tarot readings
• The difference between Persona and authentic Self
• A Tarot spread designed to explore and integrate the Persona
• How removing the mask leads to freedom and wholeness The goal of this work is not to destroy the Persona, but to integrate it — allowing it to serve the Self rather than replace it. May this episode help you recognize the masks you wear with compassion and choose authenticity with courage.

Living Consciously in a Polarized World — JohnsTarot

ves through group identity. But beneath the noise, something else is happening: a growing number of individuals are awakening to a deeper level of awareness — one rooted in self-reflection, psychological maturity, and inner truth.
This episode is not about politics.It is about psychology, consciousness, and individuation.
We explore:
Why polarization is increasing across society
How group identity replaces self-awareness
The psychological roots of “us vs. them” thinking
What it means to live from the Self rather than the ego
How to hold opposing perspectives without losing integrity
How conscious individuals navigate family, work, and relationships in divided times
Why inner work is essential for collective healing
Living consciously does not mean disengaging from the world — it means participating without being consumed by fear, outrage, or tribalism. It means recognizing projection, integrating the shadow, and choosing clarity over certainty.
If you’ve ever felt disillusioned by rigid belief systems…If you sense that something deeper is unfolding within humanity…If you’re learning to respond rather than react…
This episode offers grounding, insight, and a path forward.
You are not alone.You are learning how to live consciously — and that matters more now than ever.
 

Shadow Work and the Tarot: Meeting the Hidden Self Podcast only

Shadow Work and the Tarot: Meeting the Hidden Self” (John’s Tarot – Soul Awakening Series, Episode 4)
Shadow work is one of the most essential — and misunderstood — stages of personal and spiritual growth. In this episode, we explore Shadow Work through the lens of Carl Jung and the Tarot, revealing how the cards act as a mirror to the parts of ourselves we often avoid, repress, or deny. Jung taught that the Shadow is not evil or broken — it is simply the unconscious material shaped by fear, conditioning, trauma, and survival. When left unexamined, the Shadow drives our reactions, projections, addictions, and repeated life patterns. When brought into awareness, it becomes a source of strength, compassion, and wholeness. Using Tarot as a symbolic language of the psyche, this episode shows how archetypal cards like The Moon, The Devil, The Tower, and Strength reveal the hidden self and invite integration rather than judgment.
✨ In this episode, you’ll explore:
• What Jung meant by “the Shadow”
• Why shadow work is necessary for individuation
• How unintegrated shadow shows up in daily life
• Tarot cards commonly associated with shadow material
• How Tarot reveals fear, illusion, and self-deception
• How shadow integration leads to authenticity and freedom • A Tarot spread designed specifically for shadow work
• How to approach shadow work gently and safely Shadow work is not about fixing yourself — it is about reclaiming the parts of you that were pushed into the dark.
May this episode help you meet the hidden self with honesty, courage, and compassion.

The Emerging Collective Consciousness Podcast only

In this episode of JohnsTarot, we explore one of the most profound transformations happening in the world today: the shift from old, fear-based group identity toward a higher, more awakened collective consciousness.
For generations, many of us defined ourselves through unquestioned affiliations — political parties, religious systems, cultural tribes. These identities told us what to believe, how to behave, who to trust, and even how to vote. But today, these old paradigms are breaking down. People are awakening to something deeper: the call of the real Self.
This episode examines:
The collapse of rigid group-based identity
The psychological and spiritual forces driving global polarization
Why younger and older generations alike are questioning inherited beliefs
The rise of self-awareness, nuance, and inner truth
How individuation contributes to the evolution of humanity
What it means to live consciously in a world still trapped in dogma
We look at how humanity is moving from:“I believe this because my group says so”to“I seek truth from within the Self, beyond the persona and shadow.”
The emerging collective consciousness embraces complexity, empathy, internal honesty, and the integration of both sides of an issue in order to find real solutions — not scapegoats.
If you’ve ever felt disillusioned by politics, religion, or the social narratives you're “supposed” to follow… if you feel yourself awakening, thinking for yourself, and sensing a deeper shift in humanity, you are not alone. You are part of a growing wave of consciousness evolution.
Join me as we explore what this means for each of us and for the future of humanity.
This is the awakening of the soul — not just within individuals, but across the collective.

Recovery as Spiritual Awakening Episode 3 podcast only

Soul Awakening Series, Episode 3)
Recovery is far more than the absence of alcohol or addictive behavior — it is a spiritual awakening, a profound shift in consciousness, identity, and purpose. In this episode, we explore recovery through the lens of Carl Jung, individuation, and the Tarot, illuminating the deeper transformation beneath the surface of sobriety. Jung recognized that addiction involves more than an “allergy of the body” and an “obsession of the mind.” At its core lies a spiritual malady — a disconnection from the Self. When recovery deepens, this disconnection begins to heal through truth, humility, surrender, and inner guidance. In this episode, you’ll discover how recovery becomes a pathway to wholeness:
✨ What a spiritual awakening really means
✨ How Jung’s insights influenced the spiritual dimension of recovery
✨ Why surrender is a necessary breakthrough in healing
✨ How Tarot reveals addiction, transformation, and rebirth
✨ The three pillars of recovery: body, mind, and spirit
✨ A Tarot spread designed for personal awakening
✨ How Sophia — the archetype of Divine Truth — guides us toward clarity Whether you’re in recovery, supporting someone who is, or exploring your own journey of awakening, this episode offers a compassionate, symbolic, and psychologically grounded perspective on healing. May this exploration bring insight, hope, and a deeper sense of purpose to your path.

She is the voice within that cuts through illusion, dissolves deception, and calls us back to authenticity.
