Jung said many remarkable things, but this one few realize it's depth. He was asked if he believes in God. His answer was " I don't believe; I know ". Beautiful.
He does not say he believes in God, just that he knows of a "being throughout time that has never lost its luminosity." You are twisting his words to make it seem as though he said he believed in God, which is not accurate. If you read his biography, Memories, Dreams, Reflections, which provides his religious testament, you'll see that he does not claim to believe in God in the conventional sense. Instead, he acknowledges a "force throughout time that has never lost its luminosity," which can be understood as God, but not in the Western anthropomorphic sense. I recommend reading or listening to his biography, which he referred to as Anelia Jaffé's project, as he himself was not fond of biographies. I hope this helps and encourages you to continue your journey of educational discovery.

great documentary about Jung. I got the book secret of the golden flower recently. amazing to see the reference in this doc. I’m most interested in Jung’s personal spiritual journey and this documentary has touched a lot of it. And people who got interviewed were insightful. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for this documentary. Long Ago, I played the flute piece that moved the documentary along. Would someone tell me the name of the piece. I ended up listening many times as the words and the music were so intricate and deep. Serendipidously, I went online to hear Mozart, and this exquisite well paced documentary flooded my screen.. Then again, what should I expect? I am on the board of the Analytical Psychology Club here in New York City and bringing together different factions of the institution. Perhaps if I take out my flute it would help bring opposing groups into harmony....at least for a moment.
The more I learn about Jung the less I feel strange and alone because he had so many similar interests and made similar connections (although I've had access to a lot more information than he did since birth) There were things that no one told me, conclusions that I came up with that he seemed to have been curious about at well. For example when I was in elementary school I observed my classmates and their body language. In 2nd grade I made a conscious effort to observe others because I felt very uncomfortable just sitting in my chair. I felt like everyone was watching me to correct something. I felt so awkward that I would think of 7 different ways to ask to go to the bathroom before raising my hand (nearly not making it). I got tired of feeling so weird that I observed others and focused on who looked the most comfortable and relaxed. Who may I want to emulate to gain more peace while I was around people. I saw that the guys looked calmer than the girls so I started to emulate the guys more here and there. (I'm female) In my family there were many females, young and old, who were focused on things I thought weren't as important and they all had anxiety issues. A lot of which were a result of how women had to be dependent for financial needs but also how that was transforming to the new economy structure we have today. I wanted to be more masculine and more independent. I looked up to my dad (although irritable, was not a religious man and was not abusive, just rough around the edges) and my mom was sweet and religious with an open mind. So long story shorter I picked up on a lot of masculine traits and feel like I may have to balance the feminine side of myself more but I feel more complete than I think I would have if I just followed societies design for me. So in shorter words, I observed people since as long as I can remember and this was encouraged by the adults around me and the vast difference with every family member that I find it astonishing that at grade 2 I saw such complex ideas as the gender archetypes and decided to do what was best for my mental state (avoiding unnecessary anxiety unprompted by an adult) I may have lost the thread slightly bur short and sweet? don't know her but it's refreshing to hear about notable people who have thought in the same curious depth that I hold so important.
You are a real person, they were automatons. :p. Only a few of us real ones out there. It's a Small World After All. We Are the Champions. I remember at 5 years old someone bringing me a play date and he opened up my chest of toys took out a couple cars and trucks started smashing them around going "vroom vroom".. I looked at him with with a gape an in my mind I thought 'bro this can't be real what in the actual $##6 are you 7&_+(ing doin dude, WOW where am I??? ' Giggles aside....Where am I?! Lol :(😅:( 😢
As someone who grew up in the 90's (born 1990) I grew up with shows like this. Now days it just seems so silly that they have to add all this drama 48:31 and try to appeal to the senses and emotions with this almost anti-asmr (the uneasy feelings of strings played in a discord causes chills and thus perks the brain to pay more attention) They complain now days about there being more and more cases of ADHD, however, Television had a fantastic way of keeping our attention and we were conditioned to that. (Not saying this as a negative or positive thing, just observing the process) At first it makes me laugh and then I realize, educational television had a lot of competition with sensationalism and dramas. They knew how to hold attention. I'm driven by curiosity for information it's self which is why I see these strategies as silly and getting in the way of my learning, however, I'm very glad I took the time to think about this because I realize that it probably wasn't entirely psychologically based (by research and experimentations) to throw a bunch of drama into the middle of a long program but it is more so a natural understanding that it had to be there to maintain attention to the viewer but ALSO the ones creating this content. This is important information so while I was annoyed at first, I am now grateful for it because people who would have otherwise have been too bored to watch would have gone about life without this important information. I disagree for the use of potentially anxiety reactions to foster attention because it can unfortunately cause a subconscious link between the information and the uncomfortable feelings. (although I will note possible use of more pleasant ASMR sounds if I am ever to create a documentary or presentation)
Good depiction. One thing I find amusing is that people many times try to create the appearance of mysticism when depicting Jungs work, while Jung is much more playful in person and refers to people who call him a mystic and Prophet, "idiots". We are all more or less initiated, the less initiated seem to compensate that fact by trying to appear more initiated, which they express in generic mystical or occult mannerisms. I once was visited by the "corrective psyche" in my 20's during a dream when a Philemon type figure told me that "your father is a composer" this appeared with the most beautiful music playing and a square wall of fire in the background and a anima female sitting at a table, at which we all set at first up until he started talking to me in a very numinous way, I reacted in such a naive way that I think he thought I was too silly and abandoned me forever :) I guess I will instead subscribe to Will Wilson who has a ridiculously low amount of subscribers. Also because he posted this video on my birthday.
