- In this episode I explore some of the unconscious content that can arise from doing this practice of Active Imagination. The SHADOW is one of Jung's classic archetypes, in this video I go over some of the insights I've gained by engaging with my personal Shadow Archetype.
I also share a clip from one of Dr. Jordan Peterson lectures; in it he explains how Jung invented this technique and the impact it had on his professional career and ongoing legacy.
Here is the full lecture from Jordan Peterson:

Your art does evoke a lot of narratives in my mind. It's like an origin story for a video game series or books.
Thank you, I'm glad they inspire you too!
Great video! I found you in the Symbolic World group. It seems like our thoughts could be neighbors!
I love that community! Jonathan's work and the communities around him have really helped me on my Christian reeducation journey
@@EricYoungArt Yes, he is one of the few thinkers that I tune into for discernment in these times.
I looked up Automatic Writing and I'd be lying if said I wasn't a little apprehensive about it's validity. I noticed that this feeling was my uncomfortability with the spiritual foundation of the concept. I feel that my spiritual journey is not tied to 'how I am' but 'who I am' if that makes sense? If I do not know how (or why) I did something I cannot know who I am because of that choice. I feel that I have intentionally limited my subconscious -- slowly understanding and evaluating it so that I can make sense of things when I act (the how becomes the who).
I did, however, do some observational writing while outside.
Before I start thought, I'm sorry to hear that you've had such a negative experience with religion. Religion, at times, can help us make sense of this world and that it has been used so maliciously for millinea is not a testament to the negativity of religion but to those who betroth themselves, solely, to self-interest. You share this with us though, in your video, I'm just acknowledging the power of the revelation.
Bias: I wrote this while listening to "Love" by Musiq Soulchild and sat outside looking at nature.
The Earth, drowning in the cascading wave of trees. I wondered, how long it took those trees to grow. I wondered, how long it will take for the branches to burst full of green life and the Earth, beneath the trees, once again, to be shrouded in darkness.
A bird perched on an empty branch -- I wondered, where was its home? Did the bird feel the chill of the cold Thursday morning -- the same chill that caused me to hastily retreat to the warmth indoors?
Even on the coldest of spring days, nature, does not seems to falter -- the hum of life ever audiable as I struggle to cope with the chill.
I wish to be more like nature in this way. Who says sincerity can't be a product of planning and calculation? What is genuine if not our intent? I've found that nature has one intent, to exist.
Thank you for engaging with me these past few weeks, it has been a delight! I don't typically pop out of my shell this often -- socializing is taxing lol.
Thank you for sharing once again, that was a really nice comment to read!
Nature is an endless source of inspiration, it's not surprising that you found some great words while just focusing on the moment while outside. Going into nature and writing the poetic words that it inspires is probably as old as the written language itself.
One of my favorite things is to just go to a garden or a zoo and draw plants and animals from life.
I often like to think about the earliest humans who began drawing and painting animals on cave walls. Since then there has been a continuous succession of artists who find inspiration in plants and animals and feels compelled to draw them. It feels really primal and natural to do this kind of drawing to take a break from the purely imaginative realm and return to the mysteries of physical reality.
And I really empathize with the "socializing is taxing" feeling, I'm naturally an introvert myself. I really appreciate all the awesome comments!
Love what you're doing here. Keep up the great work. Let me know if you're ever interested in a conversation.
Thank you! I've really missed making videos in the last few weeks since I've been moving. Once I get settled in I should be free to talk. I'll hit you up soon!
