In this captivating episode, host Thomas Elsner sits down with Elliott Morgan—stand-up comedian, actor, and PhD student in depth psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute—to explore the psychological and spiritual dimensions of the UFO phenomenon. Drawing on Carl Jung's groundbreaking 1959 work Flying Saucers: A Modern Myth of Things Seen in the Sky, their conversation delves into what Morgan calls "the enchantment around UFOs" and its profound implications for modern consciousness.
As congressional hearings bring unprecedented credibility to reports of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs), this discussion shifts focus from whether UFOs exist to examining what the phenomenon reveals about our collective psyche. Morgan argues that UFOs may represent a "newly dominant archetype" in the Western psyche—specifically, the trickster—blurring boundaries between material and immaterial, inner and outer, real and imagined.
From synchronicities and shadow encounters to dreams of aliens and the breakdown of traditional meaning-making systems, this conversation explores how the UFO phenomenon might signal the emergence of a new god-image for a culture grappling with ecological crisis, technological acceleration, and the death of traditional religious forms. Is this "visionary rumor" pointing us toward a necessary transformation of consciousness at the end of an era?
Join us for this mind-bending exploration of sacred skies, trickster energies, and the return of mystery in our modern world.
Elliott Morgan is a comedian, content creator, and scholar of depth psychology currently pursuing his PhD at Pacifica Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara, California. He is one of the original members of the popular YouTube channel SourceFed and the founder of The Valleyfolk, a crowd-sourced comedy production company. He co-hosts The Fundamentalists podcast, along with Dr. Peter Rollins, which explores modern culture through the lenses of psychoanalytic theory, philosophy, and depth psychology.
Based on Elliott Morgan's article "Sacred Skies: UFOs and the Religious Function of the Psyche" from Psychological Perspectives, Volume 66, Issue 3 (2023).

Description

Introducing Jungian Perspectives: Conversations in Depth, a podcast offered by the journal Psychological Perspectives, a quarterly journal of Jungian thought.
Psychological Perspectives is a beautiful journal whose mission is to promote greater consciousness by honoring and amplifying the psychology of C.G. Jung. The journal has been published since 1970, sponsored by the C.G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles.
Jung said: “In the same way that the body needs food and not just any kind of food but only that which suits it, the psyche needs to know the meaning of its existence, not just any meaning but the meaning of those images and ideas which reflect its nature and which originate in the unconscious.”
Jung was fascinated by every aspect of the psyche and its relationship with the outer world. That fascination led him to explore not only dreams and fantasies but also mythology and fairy tales, philosophy and fiction, as well as the leading science of his day from anthropology to nuclear physics. Anything that touched on the psyche was his field of interest, and ours as well.
Psychological Perspectives publishes a wide range of articles from depth psychology to science, from politics to philosophy, as well as fiction, poetry, and current book, video and film reviews. Each issue is a feast not only for the mind but for the eye as well, filled with art that flows from the cover to the articles.
On our podcast Jungian Perspectives, we choose one article once a month from the journal archives and invite the author to speak with us more intimately and in depth. We offer you the chance to explore with us what relevance and meaning the Jungian perspective might have for your personal life and our collective life today.
Welcome to Jungian Perspectives: Conversations in Depth.
