I cannot overstate how incredible it is to have this recording of Dr. Jung available, and for free, on the internet at the fingertips of anyone who desires to watch. Thank you, my good sir, for uploading this gem.
I'll steal these interviewers questions when talking to someone: 1. What a beautiful home, how long have you lived here? 2. Do you have any kids? 3. DO YOU REMEMBER THE OCCASION WHEN YOU FIRST FELT CONSCIOUSNESS OF YOUR OWN INDIVIDUAL SELF?!
@Creepy Lobster I think he had schizophrenia. He basically says it right there in the interview. He describes himself as symptoms and they all add up to S. Apparently he has found a way to live with it and thrive.
He had it right. He was willing to explore. He was open to a higher conciousness and experienced it as a child. He understood we were complex beings. He had compassion for people.
Let’s not forget that this is a man who’s mother tongue is not English, yet is speaking of things that most who speak English couldn’t conceive of putting into words.
Evan Williamson American here and same. It’s tough to even understand what is meant by a sentence he writes. Then once it’s understood, trying to understand the full scope of what he’s saying..... well that’s a completely different battle.
EY Arcane I thought the same exact thing when he referred to the 70’s! ...I was like wait..this interview was from 1959. This video absolutely delighted me.
And this interview is from 1959. Imagine someone in 2059 talking about the 1970s. It's like ancient history at that point - barely anyone from that time is alive. You should watch Betrand Russell's interview from 1952, if you haven't already. You just don't hear stuff like "My grandfather was born during the French Revolution" anymore.
Jung's initiatory dream into adult life was dreaming of the cathedral where his father was the minister with poop falling out of the sky all over the church and through the roof.
He's very forthright in his answers. He doesn't seem worried about his image. He's unashamed and spontaneous. I didn't realize he was born in the late 19th century. This interview took place 10 years before I was born. What a treasure this recording is.
Thats just having faith in yourself. Not all people put public opinion and image above EVERYTHING else in life. That is a modern phenomena and I think that's part of the atomization Jung mentioned there at the end.
@@hjuikkll he would not be worried about his image as he has synchronized his coming and going. His inner and outest and now he knows and is satisfied with it all. A life amazing !
His intelligence and knowledge is daunting, but there's something about his being that's so humble, human and familiar. He's like Gandalf and your grandpa in one person. Always a twinkle in the eye. Very interesting and enchanting. This is the part of TH-cam I love.
@D Kahn I think that's a matter of perspective/opinion... you could easily find anecdotal evidence suggesting he was a warm and lively character, although certainly not one to be pushed around. He was a very integrated and wholesome man.
D Kahn probably because he was aware of his own intelligence he felt he knew what was best for people close to him, not saying he was right to do so but it’s not unheard of. You say it like it determines his reputation
@Noah thomas The reason I can think of is that dreams are very closely related to the unconscious. And so it says something about you. I think it wouldn’t be desireable to give your dreams to just anyone who will be able to interpret them, as these are very personal things. So it’s like giving away the contents of your mind, laid bare. So I guess it’s a psychonude
@@bobibg4ever I don't think she mentioned that because it was the most interesting thing on the video, It's just something that stands out because it's not common to have video of such a historical figure, I mean, by the year 1900 he had already finished his studies, and we got video of him, such things are rare.
That really shows the type of man Jung was when he refused to speak of Freud's dreams because "it's a professional secret" and "these regards last longer than life."
I was looking for this comment, really remarkable. Also, a lesson on how to politely refuse to do something outside of our ethical boundaries. Even he rejected the interviewers comment, Interviewer: He's been dead for a while now. Jung: These regard last longer than life. I prefer not to talk about it. My God
I believe he is referring to the personal nature that was revealed and it would breach professional respect and trust by allowing others to gawk and judge Freud’s deepest and most likely darkest thoughts. Even after death.
@@tommytooter2895 I think rather he is of the view, which he states later in the film, that the psychical existence extends beyond death and so he knows that Freud may be listening. Therefore he is discrete.
I'm shocked the interviewer had the gall to ask that question. It's obvious that that is confidential clinical information. I like the way Jung politely but unmistakably reproved the interviewer for that.
Alan Watts on meeting Jung in 1958: I was enormously impressed with a man who was obviously very great, but at the same time, with whom everyone could be at ease. Jung managed to have wisdom and sanctity in such a way that when other people came into his presence they didn’t feel judged. They felt enhanced encouraged and invited to share in a common life. And it was a sort of twinkle in Jungs eye. It gave me the impression that he knew himself to be just as much a villain as everybody else. Jung had a hintergedanken in the back of his mind. It showed in a twinkle in his eye. He knew himself, knew the “element of irreducible rascality” in himself, strongly and clearly and lovingly that he would never project the devil in himself upon somebody else, upon the scapegoat. This made Jung an integrated character, thoroughly with himself. Having seen and accepted his own nature, he had a kind of unity and absence of conflict within his own character. He was the sort of man who could feel anxious and afraid and guilty without being ashamed of feeling this way. In other words, he understood that an integrated person wasn’t someone who had eliminated feelings of guilt or anxiety from his life, who is fearless and wooden and a kind of sage of stone. He is a person who feels all these things but has no recrimination against himself for feeling them. Poorly transcribed by me from th-cam.com/video/Jr_20uEVOiE/w-d-xo.html
@@maazali8889 - you won’t understand what I’m trying to say… Absolute is in the NOW. It’s a dimension, perception that is hard to understand for most of people. It’s beyond the physical world with its dualism - black and white, day and night, woman and man, life and death, etc.
I don't know why - I can't explain - but I'm heavily teary-eyed watching this. I'm just touched by the old man's sincerity. Jung's genuine, careful nature is so touching to witness, and I am so pleased that I can behold him in audible motion. I wish more people these days would indulge his works. He cared. He wanted to illuminate the minds of man. He deserves to.
Yes, I'm often brought to tears reading Jung. Perhaps that's when his humanity awakens my own? Wonderful to know that such a person existed in the world; fortunate that he left us such a recorded legacy.
Yes, well said. He’s completely authentic and real. No shame, no guilt, no arrogance, no guile, not trying to be charming or clever. Pure intelligence and compassion. Another era.
His final answer, derived from his personal research with his own patients, still holds up to this day. Man’s desire for individuality never went away and indeed became stronger and stronger.
There is a quality of sincerity, authenticity, and humility that shines through this man. There is also a tremendous force, still evident even at this age of 84. This is the man who wrote The Red Book, filled with brilliant paintings and meticulous calligraphy, this was Freud's original protege who dramatically broke away to found his own school of psychology, this was the author of a large corpus of profound work, and this was the man who helped thousands of souls during his time on Earth and untold millions more via his writings.
And still helping. Just reading him as a precocious and deeply troubled teen - saved my life rather he lead me to look inside myself without fear or rather with fear but look anyway to save myself, the hero within, the shadow work,,the numinous beasts. The sheer compassion of his generous intellect made all the difference. My father figure! And for an abandoned fatherless girl - you cannot know unless you know the importance of a non incestuous father. Mine wasn’t that ! He was just absent. Just to be clear. Rest In Peace Doctor Professor. “ I don’t need to believe, I know.”
"At first I vanted to become an Archeologist" Oh, he wanted to dig up long-forgotten artifacts that are buried deep beneath the surface? I'd say he did become somewhat of an Archeologist...
Six weeks after his death my father appeared to me in a dream...It was an unforgettable experience,and it forced me for the first time to think about life after death.---Carl G.Jung
The fact that his first posting after receiving his M.D.was at a mental hospital,who took the time to actually engage with his patients & study their art & writing shows a truly compassionate & humble man.
Even on a black-and-white screen, and considering this interview had taken place long ago, Carl Jung's eyes twinkled in the sweetest way - a language of a noble and sincere heart.🙏
Funny, considering how fast he answers gives me the impression these questions were rehearsed. The interviewer almost finish his answers! I think this has nothing to do with old methods of interview
What an enjoyable interview. Fascinating. Especially the portion of him recalling a patient in the mental ward (whom he considered simply crazy and talking crazy) ... and then reading a published paper from a found papyrus published four years later ... speaking of the very thing that 'crazy' person said!
The reaction to this interview was phenomenal Thousands of viewers wrote in saying how deeply moved they were by Jung's words. Because of this Freeman asked Jung if he would write a non academic book directed at the ordinary people. Jung at first refused, but then he had a dream. He was in a market place addressing a large crowd. He knew then he was meant to reach out to the ordinary people and wrote " Man and his Symbols . This was my introduction to Jung and he has been my life-long guide ever since
@@maudegonne3740 i just finished this book 3 days ago, and man, that was a fantastic book. I m going to read it again and i want to “dissect” it because i would like to analyze mor closely
@@Chukartramp Jordan Peterson is a tragic hack who uses Jung's ideas to grift people. He bases his entire ideology off of cold war propaganda and fear-mongering, claiming to observe the big-picture that Jung so clearly saw while blaming the world's problems on something as small as 'communism' or 'post-modern-neo-marxists.' Jordan Peterson, in other words, is a man who is a slave to his unconscious feeling.
I love that the human race produces people like Jung every once in a while. It’s like when it’s time for humanity to evolve and progress, humanity itself produces the very key to doing so.
@Ryan Calkins Except that if he says, "We are the origin of all coming evil", then you are talking about evolving while is a state of corruption, and that leads to destruction of the human race, which is where we are headed, until and unless the problem of evil is addressed. And it is, in the cross of Christ. Jesus said: "Repent, or perish." He said that twice within the space of three verses of Scripture. If Jesus repeated something, he meant to draw particular attention to what He was saying. (Luke 13:3, and Luke 13:5)
I am 43, and have been studying Jung for years, but this is the first time I've ever heard him speak. What an incredible blessing it is; having access to free interviews and lectures from the greatest minds from the modern age. This is an education no university on earth can provide, period. I've spent countless hours listening to Alan Watts and Aldus Huxley, and I'll certainly add any more Jung I can find. I hope more people continue to learn and hear from these incredible people, in their own words, those who changed the course of human history for the better.
Carl Jung was a blessing to humanity. As a young person his ideas were transformative for me and still create the knowingness of going to the depths of my soul for union with my Higher Self. Thank you for posting this.
What is the Higher Self? You have your soul. Then the question is - do you have the Holy Spirit as well. The Holy Spirit is the one you should address with a capitalised letter.
In Jungian terms, my understanding is "The Self". Is something akin to the integration of the Shadow and Anima or Animus into something like a unified psyche. Which would be similar to the higher self.
Old man Jung has a much softer warmer look in his eyes than middle adult Jung. Adult Jung had a sort of cold penetrating gaze. It'd be interesting to look at his life's journey through his own analytical means. Lots of documentation on all the major events in his life
"We need more psychology, we need more understanding of human nature. Because the only real danger that exist is man himself. He is the great danger. And we are pitifully unaware of it. We know nothing of man, far too little. His psyche should be studied because we are the origin of all coming evil." ~Carl Jung . @ 29:30
sperare I believe what you were trying to say is that there is no specific purpose but “living” therefore meaningful or meaningless can be depending on who judges what you do and so it could be one or the other for the observer... what matters I guess is that whatever it is or seems to be, feels right with you
Actually I'm glad I'm not smart enough, because I noticed (watching this for the second time), that I was able to pick up on a few things that I missed on the first time round. Music to me (if it's really good) is like that. I have albums that I have bought because of a few tracks that I liked, and now I prefer other tracks on the album that I originally thought nothing of. Great information from great speakers is like this, so I downloaded this video. I hope it will always be left up on youtube but for some things, you have to make sure that you will always have an access to. This is one of them.
Respect is what I felt which lacks in so many of today’s journalist. I am a writer and journalist. I try to conduct every interview as a conversation that let’s the person being interviewed feel open to speak freely. Challenging a persons ideas is not my function. Listening and reporting is my job. It is becoming such a lost art.
Not only do we get a chance to listen to this master, we get to visit the place where he lived. ❤ Thank you for uploading this. Man, he was one of those great people, who I wish could live forever.
@@claudiatemplaria4939 how untrue! He was born in Switzerland and was Swiss from birth on. His grandfather with same name migrated from Germany to Switzerland.
ahhh the good old days where the interviewer did their job by not interrupting the one they interview while they spoke... heck he even stopped to speak just to listen jung talking
He was good about waiting for and listening to the answers. But some of the questions were at a level of idle-curiosity-neighborhood-gossip. That part was disappointing.
The house at Seestrasse nr. 228 in Küsnacht, built in 1908, can be visited by appointment. It's partly a museum, but also the private residence of grandson Andreas Jung, who guides the tours.
This man’s insight saved me in so many ways and brought me joy. He probably was what you might call enlightened. Thank you, C. G. Jung, wherever „you“ may be!
Carl Jung turned 84 on Sunday July 26 of that year, 1959. I was born on that day and 62 to 63 years on I am grateful that I can learn so much from that amazing professor. Thanks a million for posting this.
Look at those eyes, he is absolutely shining with the light of consciousness, so alive. If there was ever proof that enthusiasm, depth and playfulness can still thrive in the elderly, Jung is your man
@@llsspp not cynicism but realism. no anger just fed up with superficial romanticism. no bitterness just a bit disgusted with fanboy-blindness. not young but mature and with plenty of life experience that prevents me from bowing down before every idol the authority chooses for us. ;)
CT2507 dunno man; you still sound kind of bitter, “fed-up, disgusted” that’s a strong word.. Do you not think his eyes are shining with a radiance that you don’t see in that many old people? That’s the first thing I noticed in this video, doesn’t mean I’m a fan-boy lol It’s not romanticism to see that someone is alive with playfulness and depth, don’t know if you’ve read any Jung but the man has definitely explored some deep ideas lol. Something obviously motivated you to make your initial comment, go back and read it, I don’t think it was realism, because realism takes into account both sides of any story, realism weighs up different perspectives, just seems like you were in a bad mood, maybe there is a realism to your slightly shitty comment
Right? He had that quick aside about studying "negroes" in Washington to see if they had they same dreams as the rest of us and I thought "holy shit Dr. Jung!" but then I remember he was born in the 1850s when slavery was still legal in the US. Dude lived through so many wars.
It's beautiful to see that Jung didn't have all the answers about his life, even though he was already 85 years old. We can see that is not always about the answers, It's about our journey.
In the final question, both Jung & interviewer were discussing on technology bringing minds through social togetherness.. 50 years later mankind is trying to sync in through internet & social media platforms.. and Jung's point 50 years back rings a loud bell.. "in the end there will be a reaction...Man can not lead a meaningless life..!"
“These regards last longer than life”- re “doctor/patient confidentiality”, when asked to divulge his analysis of Freud’s dreams. Even though at the time Freud had been dead many years! Gotta love this man’s integrity and professionalism!!👏👏👏
Mr. Jung won me over when he hesitated to answer if he still believes in God. He finally articulated: "....I don't believe, I know". Amazing soul to grace us still with his wisdom. This interview was made a year before I was born :)
I was shocked. Because I came to the conclusion that "belief" was a silly word when regarding my relationship to God. To hear another person say that, much less Carl Jung, is amazing.
@@postplays People understand different things under the concept of belief. For some knowing is believing. I paraphrase something here from ________________: do not say I believe because I saw it but rahter, I saw it because I believe it!
For a man of such intellect to say this is very disappointing, it wasn’t his scientific mind speaking at this point, he switched it off. That was his emotional brain speaking, irrational. Of course he doesn’t know, it was a very childlike answer.
@@CR-og5ho What has the current date got to with my comment? Yes, it's 2023! you understand how a calendar works. Now, back to Jung believing that a magical man created everything we see before us without a single bit of evidence....
This is a man who chooses to be completely transparent, with dignity but without egotistical pride. I admire your work Dr. Jung, and your teachings will live on forever. Also props to the uploader for this gem!!
But notice how the answer didnt specify what he meant. Did he mean it as “I have knowledge rather than faith”, or did he mean “i dont believe in god, I know he exists” ? It seems purposefully ambigious to me.
@@haroldassmailis9680what he meant is “there really is an overwhelming, mysterious, unknowable hidden God, who speaks to the single individual from the depths of his soul and who reveals himself in forms which he himself chooses”
Wow, WHAT was JUNG hiding from us? Or WHAT were Freud and Jung hiding from us, and particularly and especially WHY! If an individual hides something, or doesn’t want to reveal anything, that something or anything is usually the truth. Carl Jung, Freud and all the Psychiatric Scientists are all eager to reveal the what the others have in the inside, but when it comes to them, they become slippery like a fish, and prefer to change issue.
To have an actual interview with Dr. Jung is a blessing in itself. I have watched this three times, and there is always something new to learn. Thank You!!!
"the only real danger that exists is man himself he is the great danger and we are pitifully unaware of it, we know nothing of man far too little, his psyche should be studied, for we are the origin of all coming evil!" C G Jung
Kriss Akabusi it's weird , I started reading this comment and he happened to be saying it at the same time. I wonder what that says about psyche? great quote.
Sure, Kriss. Mark was watching the video and, with no apparent reason, he started reading your comment as he heard Jung's voice say the quote. To a commonly instructed mind this may appear as a coincidence (which it could be; depends on the situation). To Jung, this could be a case of synchronicity, which is two events happening . I understand Jung thought of synchronicity as a manifestation of acausality, but I haven't been able to dig too deep into his writings on the topic. Still, there's a ton of info about it on the internet. As to what I consider to be a synchronous event, I'm still trying to figure it out. Sometimes apparent synchronicity occurs when our unconscious mechanisms pick up information without us registering it, e.g., you're reading a text about something you're interested in, an idea pops up in your mind, and ten lines later you read exactly the same you were thinking of. This is obviously not synchronous, but perhaps it tells us something about real synchronicity and I'll show you why at the end. An actual case would be all-too-common: you think about someone that you haven't seen in a long time, only to pick up your phone and have it instantly ring with their call, or you could meet them without previous arrangement in a strange place that very same day or the next. To call events like these a coincidence is a quick answer, a skeptical reflex which I do not agree with. Now, how does synchronicity happen? I don't know. What it seems to do is put into our sphere of awareness things that our unconscious mind deems necessary for us. Perhaps the skeptics are right: it's confirmation bias and you're not actually seeing two unrelated events. Instead, your brain is associating two similar events and giving them joint meaning. But this assertion is irrelevant if we don't ask why it's happening. Is it a glitch, an error in our brains? Or is our brain communicating by redirecting attention to events in the world which are equivalent with internal issues that need addressing? That could be the work of the unconscious, but this is a very moderate position compared to other people's view on the facticity of the phenomenon. I guess that for the time being it's up to each one to determine if meaningful coincidences are bias or reality. There's a paper I'm going to start reading soon: "The Self, the symbolic and synchronicity: virtual realities and the emergence of the psyche," by George B. Hogenson. Perhaps you could check it out too. EDIT: I didn't realize it came out this long, haha.
LOL, I got a good hearty chuckle out of that as well. Couldn't help but thinking: if a stranger stole our hat at the restaurant or something, we might be bewildered or even angry. When our grandkid steals our hat we're amused and filled with joy. That's love :]
Miss Me, I felt exactly like you. Whether one agrees or disagrees with Jung's conclusions he always struck me as a completely authentic person, true to himself regardless of anything, and just incapable of selling himself or others out. One feels one is with both a gentleman and a little child all at once, and while being great thinker he accepts the mystery of it all and doesn't rule out that anything is possible. That's pretty rare - and humble too boot . He fascinates me on many levels.
I wasn't told to come here but Richard Dawkins mentioned Jung becoming conscious at the age of 10. It's worth contemplating that consciousness as a child is far different to the consciousness of the fully developed adult mind. I'd even go as far to suggest multiple states of conscience throughout life. How self aware we are at certain stages of development as well as how aware we are of the world around us.
I greatly appreciate everyone involved in the process of being able to have access this for free. Thank you so much Jung and the great lengths of focused time and confidence to be able to share your thoughts with the world. I hope everyone on their journey who listens to you listens with an open heart and mind.
While sitting in psychology classes decades ago, I never imagined that I would be able to watch an interview with Jung. This was a fascinating happenstance.
@@Mysterywhiteboy78 Arnold Schwarzenegger was from Austria not from Switzerland like Jung and Arnold wasn't born yet, but I can see what you did there. It's called associative humour. It's not about facts but what people associate with something else that makes it funny. Well done, Sir!
@@terencehill3972 Because increase of wealth and technology, and fall of old culture (religion, monarchy, etc). People are no longer constrained by nature or traditions and thus can shape the world in a way that has never been seen before. If we don't know ourselves well enough, we might very well build a new world that is much more worse than the old one
Thank you for posting this interview. Jung is such a likeable man. This was a short but sweet introduction to his world and I must say I am now thoroughly intrigued by his work's findings.
That was the most intense interview I have ever seen...the things he said about Death, day to day living, and the nature of Man, were incredible. He seemed like one of the most courageous, transparent people I have ever listened to.
I'm glad it's not just my edible talking and that I'm not the only one. He revealed that man is man's greatest enemy in a way that made me realize how terrifying and true that is.
What you say does have it's merits, but it is not an accurate account of the spiritual Leaders of our world. For example, Lau Zu was far more ahead of Karl Jung. However, I do not adore one less than the other.
We live in universal consciousness which it transmuted through our minds therefore we all share the same oppositions: ego/selflessness forces. On the large scale this phenomena is impersonal
I just watched this on the BBC iPlayer since I’m in Scotland at the moment. It is perhaps the single most interesting interview I have ever watched. So many moments I wanted to say oh no wait! Please let’s explore that more, it could have gone for many more hours. I will watch it again there are so very many pearls of wisdom to stop and reflect. And I live close to his home in Zürich which is now (partially) open to the public. I loved when he said his grandchildren steal his hat what a wonderful human being 😊
"And so if you think in a certain way, you may feel considerably better....if you think along the lines of nature, then you think properly." Brilliant.
This is believed to be the only footage of Jung giving an interview in English. One of the most important Europeans to be born in my view... this man changed my life entirely by his writings, and I am endebted to him in every regard.
I cannot overstate how incredible it is to have this recording of Dr. Jung available, and for free, on the internet at the fingertips of anyone who desires to watch. Thank you, my good sir, for uploading this gem.

Agree completely. In this interview he comes across as a man I would love to know.
I love the fact that he refused to talk about Freud's dreams. An old fashioned and discreet man. Wonderful.

@Noah thomas The reason I can think of is that dreams are very closely related to the unconscious. And so it says something about you.

@Nue View are you aware of aerodynamics?
Was this honestly tbe most interesting thing you got from this video??
@@bobibg4ever I don't think she mentioned that because it was the most interesting thing on the video, It's just something that stands out because it's not common to have video of such a historical figure, I mean, by the year 1900 he had already finished his studies, and we got video of him, such things are rare.
You think that's crazy? There was a witness of the Lincoln assassination that appeared on television.
That really shows the type of man Jung was when he refused to speak of Freud's dreams because "it's a professional secret" and "these regards last longer than life."
I was looking for this comment, really remarkable. Also, a lesson on how to politely refuse to do something outside of our ethical boundaries.
Even he rejected the interviewers comment,
Interviewer: He's been dead for a while now.
Jung: These regard last longer than life. I prefer not to talk about it.
My God
Integrity
I believe he is referring to the personal nature that was revealed and it would breach professional respect and trust by allowing others to gawk and judge Freud’s deepest and most likely darkest thoughts. Even after death.
@@tommytooter2895 I think rather he is of the view, which he states later in the film, that the psychical existence extends beyond death and so he knows that Freud may be listening. Therefore he is discrete.
Yes it shows his respect for others regardless.
"These regards last longer than life. I prefer not to talk about it." What a class act.
Yes, a true keeper of confidentiality! Which is exceedingly rare today (I say this as a psychologist and psychotherapist myself)
@@redbaronlast Curious! Why do you think so?
Instead of talking about Freud's dreams, he decides to be professional and keep it to himself. Admirable.
can u tell the exact time
@@kvothe6690 I'd have to rewatch it... it's after the interviewer asks about his relationship to Freud and how they analysed each other
@@kvothe6690 after / around 19:40
I'm shocked the interviewer had the gall to ask that question. It's obvious that that is confidential clinical information. I like the way Jung politely but unmistakably reproved the interviewer for that.
Ethics of old, some people could learn a bit about it.
It is just as he said. He has not died, just transformed his thoughts into knowledge for us to consume. Loved every minute of it. Thanks!
Alan Watts on meeting Jung in 1958:
I was enormously impressed with a man who was obviously very great, but at the same time, with whom everyone could be at ease. Jung managed to have wisdom and sanctity in such a way that when other people came into his presence they didn’t feel judged. They felt enhanced encouraged and invited to share in a common life.
And it was a sort of twinkle in Jungs eye. It gave me the impression that he knew himself to be just as much a villain as everybody else. Jung had a hintergedanken in the back of his mind. It showed in a twinkle in his eye. He knew himself, knew the “element of irreducible rascality” in himself, strongly and clearly and lovingly that he would never project the devil in himself upon somebody else, upon the scapegoat.
This made Jung an integrated character, thoroughly with himself. Having seen and accepted his own nature, he had a kind of unity and absence of conflict within his own character. He was the sort of man who could feel anxious and afraid and guilty without being ashamed of feeling this way.
In other words, he understood that an integrated person wasn’t someone who had eliminated feelings of guilt or anxiety from his life, who is fearless and wooden and a kind of sage of stone. He is a person who feels all these things but has no recrimination against himself for feeling them.

"How can I be substantial if I don't cast a shadow. I must have a dark side also if I am to be whole."
- Dr. Jung
That is true only in dualistic world. In the absolute there is no shadow, but unity.

@@maazali8889 - you won’t understand what I’m trying to say… Absolute is in the NOW. It’s a dimension, perception that is hard to understand for most of people. It’s beyond the physical world with its dualism - black and white, day and night, woman and man, life and death, etc.

@@cornelia7889 / that’s not true, but it can happen this way too.
I don't know why - I can't explain - but I'm heavily teary-eyed watching this. I'm just touched by the old man's sincerity. Jung's genuine, careful nature is so touching to witness, and I am so pleased that I can behold him in audible motion. I wish more people these days would indulge his works. He cared. He wanted to illuminate the minds of man. He deserves to.
Yes, I'm often brought to tears reading Jung. Perhaps that's when his humanity awakens my own? Wonderful to know that such a person existed in the world; fortunate that he left us such a recorded legacy.
He became his own 'wise old man' archetype
I think he does, whether they are aware of it or not.
Yes, well said. He’s completely authentic and real. No shame, no guilt, no arrogance, no guile, not trying to be charming or clever. Pure intelligence and compassion. Another era.
I respect him for what he did for man. Truelly a genious
His final answer, derived from his personal research with his own patients, still holds up to this day. Man’s desire for individuality never went away and indeed became stronger and stronger.
And the Individuality is being attacked more and more.

Putin in a nutshell ….. he was a truly wise man
There is a quality of sincerity, authenticity, and humility that shines through this man. There is also a tremendous force, still evident even at this age of 84. This is the man who wrote The Red Book, filled with brilliant paintings and meticulous calligraphy, this was Freud's original protege who dramatically broke away to found his own school of psychology, this was the author of a large corpus of profound work, and this was the man who helped thousands of souls during his time on Earth and untold millions more via his writings.
What a beautiful comment :)
That sincerity and authenticity is his Christianity. Lacking in people, especially academics today.
Nope.
And still helping. Just reading him as a precocious and deeply troubled teen - saved my life rather he lead me to look inside myself without fear or rather with fear but look anyway to save myself, the hero within, the shadow work,,the numinous beasts. The sheer compassion of his generous intellect made all the difference. My father figure! And for an abandoned fatherless girl - you cannot know unless you know the importance of a non incestuous father. Mine wasn’t that ! He was just absent. Just to be clear. Rest In Peace Doctor Professor. “ I don’t need to believe, I know.”

Six weeks after his death my father appeared to me in a dream...It was an unforgettable experience,and it forced me for the first time to think about life after death.---Carl G.Jung

The fact that his first posting after receiving his M.D.was at a mental hospital,who took the time to actually engage with his patients & study their art & writing shows a truly compassionate & humble man.

That is so very well said.
Interview technique then: Listen, be polite and ask relevant questions.
Interview technique now: (Interrupting) ”SO YOU’RE SAYING ...!”
Comparing those techniques, seems that now, people have a need to be defensive rather than listen, and formulate their own questions.

The reaction to this interview was phenomenal Thousands of viewers wrote in saying how deeply moved they were by Jung's words. Because of this Freeman asked Jung if he would write a non academic book directed at the ordinary people. Jung at first refused, but then he had a dream. He was in a market place addressing a large crowd. He knew then he was meant to reach out to the ordinary people and wrote " Man and his Symbols .

I am beyond thrilled to have heard this enriched, deeply nourishing exchange with the man himself. Many, many thanks.
I love that the human race produces people like Jung every once in a while. It’s like when it’s time for humanity to evolve and progress, humanity itself produces the very key to doing so.
@Ryan Calkins Except that if he says, "We are the origin of all coming evil", then you are talking about evolving while is a state of corruption, and that leads to destruction of the human race, which is where we are headed, until and unless the problem of evil is addressed. And it is, in the cross of Christ. Jesus said: "Repent, or perish." He said that twice within the space of three verses of Scripture. If Jesus repeated something, he meant to draw particular attention to what He was saying. (Luke 13:3, and Luke 13:5)

I am 43, and have been studying Jung for years, but this is the first time I've ever heard him speak. What an incredible blessing it is; having access to free interviews and lectures from the greatest minds from the modern age. This is an education no university on earth can provide, period. I've spent countless hours listening to Alan Watts and Aldus Huxley, and I'll certainly add any more Jung I can find. I hope more people continue to learn and hear from these incredible people, in their own words, those who changed the course of human history for the better.

"We are not of today or yesterday. We are of immense age."
Yes!
Carl Jung was a blessing to humanity. As a young person his ideas were transformative for me and still create the knowingness of going to the depths of my soul for union with my Higher Self. Thank you for posting this.
What is the Higher Self? You have your soul. Then the question is - do you have the Holy Spirit as well. The Holy Spirit is the one you should address with a capitalised letter.
In Jungian terms, my understanding is "The Self". Is something akin to the integration of the Shadow and Anima or Animus into something like a unified psyche. Which would be similar to the higher self.
Outside of all that Jung was/is What a wonderfully warm and funny force of energy he proved to be too, many thanks Professor Jung for everything.
Old man Jung has a much softer warmer look in his eyes than middle adult Jung. Adult Jung had a sort of cold penetrating gaze. It'd be interesting to look at his life's journey through his own analytical means. Lots of documentation on all the major events in his life
"We need more psychology, we need more understanding of human nature. Because the only real danger that exist is man himself. He is the great danger. And we are pitifully unaware of it. We know nothing of man, far too little. His psyche should be studied because we are the origin of all coming evil." ~Carl Jung . @ 29:30
Man is the orign of all evil. That gave me goosebumps. I never really thought about it that way before

Great information from great speakers is like this, so I downloaded this video.

Maybe I understand bc I have read one of his books and studied in psych 101... At.least I try to understand
Ioved the playful tone of voice of the interviewer, and his intelligent questions. Bravo!
I wish journalists would still conduct interviews in this manner. I was almost shocked at the quality of questions (and Jung's answers of course.)
Yes, indeed
Respect is what I felt which lacks in so many of today’s journalist. I am a writer and journalist. I try to conduct every interview as a conversation that let’s the person being interviewed feel open to speak freely. Challenging a persons ideas is not my function. Listening and reporting is my job. It is becoming such a lost art.
Not only do we get a chance to listen to this master, we get to visit the place where he lived. ❤ Thank you for uploading this. Man, he was one of those great people, who I wish could live forever.

It's beautiful to see that Jung didn't have all the answers about his life, even though he was already 85 years old. We can see that is not always about the answers, It's about our journey.
I'm extremely grateful for this video being on the net for free. Cannot describe how fortunate we are to see an interview of Dr. Jung talking.
In the final question, both Jung & interviewer were discussing on technology bringing minds through social togetherness.. 50 years later mankind is trying to sync in through internet & social media platforms.. and Jung's point 50 years back rings a loud bell.. "in the end there will be a reaction...Man can not lead a meaningless life..!"
This piqued my interest as well. Though I thought of the reaction as the birth of Postmodernism and individualistic values. Truly a great man.

Aritina Agalopol I was struck by the very same thing
Mr. Jung won me over when he hesitated to answer if he still believes in God. He finally articulated: "....I don't believe, I know". Amazing soul to grace us still with his wisdom. This interview was made a year before I was born :)
I was shocked. Because I came to the conclusion that "belief" was a silly word when regarding my relationship to God. To hear another person say that, much less Carl Jung, is amazing.

Sure, Kriss. Mark was watching the video and, with no apparent reason, he started reading your comment as he heard Jung's voice say the quote. To a commonly instructed mind this may appear as a coincidence (which it could be; depends on the situation). To Jung, this could be a case of synchronicity, which is two events happening .

Still, there's a ton of info about it on the internet.
As to what I consider to be a synchronous event, I'm still trying to figure it out. Sometimes apparent synchronicity occurs when our unconscious mechanisms pick up information without us registering it, e.g., you're reading a text about something you're interested in, an idea pops up in your mind, and ten lines later you read exactly the same you were thinking of. This is obviously not synchronous, but perhaps it tells us something about real synchronicity and I'll show you why at the end.
An actual case would be all-too-common: you think about someone that you haven't seen in a long time, only to pick up your phone and have it instantly ring with their call, or you could meet them without previous arrangement in a strange place that very same day or the next. To call events like these a coincidence is a quick answer, a skeptical reflex which I do not agree with.
Now, how does synchronicity happen? I don't know. What it seems to do is put into our sphere of awareness things that our unconscious mind deems necessary for us. Perhaps the skeptics are right: it's confirmation bias and you're not actually seeing two unrelated events. Instead, your brain is associating two similar events and giving them joint meaning. But this assertion is irrelevant if we don't ask why it's happening. Is it a glitch, an error in our brains? Or is our brain communicating by redirecting attention to events in the world which are equivalent with internal issues that need addressing? That could be the work of the unconscious, but this is a very moderate position compared to other people's view on the facticity of the phenomenon. I guess that for the time being it's up to each one to determine if meaningful coincidences are bias or reality.
There's a paper I'm going to start reading soon: "The Self, the symbolic and synchronicity: virtual realities and the emergence of the psyche," by George B. Hogenson. Perhaps you could check it out too.
EDIT: I didn't realize it came out this long, haha.
Well, a meteor could hit and kill us. :P
"My grand kids steal my things, even my hat that belongs to me they stole the other day hi hi hi." made me laugh, he must have been a good grandpa.
That part made me smile
LOL, I got a good hearty chuckle out of that as well. Couldn't help but thinking: if a stranger stole our hat at the restaurant or something, we might be bewildered or even angry. When our grandkid steals our hat we're amused and filled with joy. That's love :]
His chuckle there, made me chuckle as well.
How my heart sings listening to this incredible man. I adore him.
I love that he still holds Freud's confidentially and refuses to disclose his dream content. True professional. 19.40
Miss Me, I felt exactly like you. Whether one agrees or disagrees with Jung's
conclusions he always struck me as a completely authentic person, true to himself regardless of anything, and just incapable of selling himself or others out. One feels one is with both a gentleman and a little child all at once, and while being great thinker he accepts the mystery of it all and doesn't rule out that anything is possible. That's pretty rare - and humble too boot . He fascinates me on many levels.
Either a loyal friend... or just a good man
Did anyone come here by him self and not because Jordan Peterson told them to do so?
Not me ,im an uneducated man.just bored with bassmaster articles.
Alan Watts turned me on to Jung.
Gelb 22 well aware of this man long before J. PETERSON
just came here to better understand this "coming out of the mist"
I wasn't told to come here but Richard Dawkins mentioned Jung becoming conscious at the age of 10. It's worth contemplating that consciousness as a child is far different to the consciousness of the fully developed adult mind. I'd even go as far to suggest multiple states of conscience throughout life. How self aware we are at certain stages of development as well as how aware we are of the world around us.
Get Jung on the Joe Rogan Experience!
Lol
theres not enough DMT to bring him back
lmaooooo
Carl reveals his practice of jiu jitzu, then they smoke weed.
u ok?
I greatly appreciate everyone involved in the process of being able to have access this for free. Thank you so much Jung and the great lengths of focused time and confidence to be able to share your thoughts with the world. I hope everyone on their journey who listens to you listens with an open heart and mind.
While sitting in psychology classes decades ago, I never imagined that I would be able to watch an interview with Jung. This was a fascinating happenstance.
I came for archetypes & anima... but stayed for "I beat him up, swingin' round his legs you know" lmao
He was about 6 ft 3" tall ;)
@@artemisios This was a man who had his Shadow integrated. And a 6ft man nonetheless. Hell, I wouldn't have messed with him lol
He left a lasting impression on the young Arnold Schwarzenegger.
@@Mysterywhiteboy78 ??
@@Mysterywhiteboy78 Arnold Schwarzenegger was from Austria not from Switzerland like Jung and Arnold wasn't born yet, but I can see what you did there. It's called associative humour. It's not about facts but what people associate with something else that makes it funny. Well done, Sir!
"We are the origin of all coming evil." Man, that is so accurate.
Inescapably, because only humans are capable of evil: evil is a wholly human concept.
Why? Could you elaborate, give examples why this is so accurate?
@@terencehill3972 Because increase of wealth and technology, and fall of old culture (religion, monarchy, etc). People are no longer constrained by nature or traditions and thus can shape the world in a way that has never been seen before. If we don't know ourselves well enough, we might very well build a new world that is much more worse than the old one
@Him they also taunt their prey. Difficult to know if this is premeditated evil or their spontaneous nature.
We are origin of all coming things...
Thank you for posting this interview. Jung is such a likeable man. This was a short but sweet introduction to his world and I must say I am now thoroughly intrigued by his work's findings.
That was the most intense interview I have ever seen...the things he said about Death, day to day living, and the nature of Man, were incredible. He seemed like one of the most courageous, transparent people I have ever listened to.
I'm glad it's not just my edible talking and that I'm not the only one. He revealed that man is man's greatest enemy in a way that made me realize how terrifying and true that is.
What you say does have it's merits, but it is not an accurate account of the spiritual Leaders of our world. For example, Lau Zu was far more ahead of Karl Jung. However, I do not adore one less than the other.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
"If you think along the lines of nature then you think properly".
Man can not stand meaningless life. It will come an reaction... 2021...
@@janniejadlik4444 It has always been so.
Whenever I hear Jung talk about psyche being beyond time and space, I get incredible feeling of goosebumps and joy
Glen Adlin why
We live in universal consciousness which it transmuted through our minds therefore we all share the same oppositions: ego/selflessness forces. On the large scale this phenomena is impersonal
It was in the air in Germania at the time. It happens to be true also.
menios19 maybe because it is our true nature. Maybe our minds are behind time, space and impermanence
I just watched this on the BBC iPlayer since I’m in Scotland at the moment. It is perhaps the single most interesting interview I have ever watched. So many moments I wanted to say oh no wait! Please let’s explore that more, it could have gone for many more hours. I will watch it again there are so very many pearls of wisdom to stop and reflect. And I live close to his home in Zürich which is now (partially) open to the public. I loved when he said his grandchildren steal his hat what a wonderful human being 😊
" man can not stand a meaningless life". This last sentence summarizes everything about human psychy. GREAT MIND.
"And so if you think in a certain way, you may feel considerably better....if you think along the lines of nature, then you think properly." Brilliant.
12:47 He avoided violence because he knew what he was capable of. Gangsta.
Its like "dont fuck with this senator" lmao
U
This is believed to be the only footage of Jung giving an interview in English. One of the most important Europeans to be born in my view... this man changed my life entirely by his writings, and I am endebted to him in every regard.
There is the American interview which I link in the description, that really goes into Jung psychoanalytical theories more deeply.
@@KidMillionsthank you so much!
