I think making the entire unconscious conscious is an impossibility and I believe that while we bring things out of the unconscious like rocks out of the river bed, we only do so to study and learn them, and sometimes document to teach others about them. But ultimately we have to let them go back to the unconscious else we get weighed down and we may sink before we make it to the ocean. If you make conscious a complex physical action, such as jumping over a fence, you'll more likely mess it up. "How am i doing this?" Where as if you leave the task as mostly unconscious, all the calculations will "do themselves" as it is a much more powerful computer anyway.
No...not only the occult and secular-based belief systems but all beliefs systems has this duality (including Christianity) what we need to do is to separate our material reasoning with our personal-philosophical reasoning, one answers "how our universe works" but the other is how we answer "how life works" (mind the difference in wording), a very-hard-and-admittedly-psyche-crumbling synthesis to achieve for sure but it's possible but nonetheless.
You have moved a great point. I wonderd many times if science was some kind of occult when I read and studied the quantum mechanics where all is so messed up there. And are physicists occultists? Or even mathematicians who in some mysterious ways find equations which they only understand and then accounce to the World that they found truth. I myself found mathematical equations which make perfect sense to me but others dismissed them. So, maybe science and occult are the two sides of the same coin. Greetings.
@@ericephemetherson3964yep. Some of them werent tho. Like Stienmentz and Tesla. But those guys got pushed out of the way because their stuff was going to show the world how electricity and energy could truly be used for all. The central bankers needed to own the info and control it, so they only let it develop so far. And then they began favoring math and theory so complicated and convoluted that people just accepted it. They backed Einstein and relativity and particle,wave, and blah blah.
How wonderful it could be to have the privilege to meet with people who are interested to talk about such things as the teachings of Carl Jung and share their own ideas and insights without prejudice or egotistical perceptions or limitations. I long for that day/opportunity. ☯
Trust me, I have been looking for those people, but found none. Maybe, reading and understanding Jung aim only to find one's own myth, one's own equation.
If you have available money, the CG Jung Institut in Küsnacht runs week-long study intensives for the general public twice a year; July and February. It is expensive, but one is surrounded by others with at least some parallel interests, so it's a worthy pursuit. The kicker is that one has to be relatively comfortable financially to be able to do it.
I think it's literally not about finding people who you can have such open conversations with people, it's about you, it's about who you let into your own space and how you engage with others. If you can openly talk about what interests you to literally everyone you meet, and nonverbally asking them to meet you at your level, you're sure to meet someone who might not have an in-depth knowledge about the conversation you're bringing forth. But you might find that you meet someone who's always been curious about such topics/knowledge and didn't know where to start when it comes to acquiring it. Sometimes it would mean you might become a teacher rather than exchanging notes
Im here, but ill be honest i tend to get angry when a viewpoint of mine is ignored as nonsense; something i got to work on. I think that angers most people though when you dont feel heard when you speak. In text you have to be careful when adding on to what someone says because it can sound condecending; like signal saying "hey i know more than you." Im sure most intellectual carry alot of pride and like to share what they know but when another arrives on the same subject they are focused so much on with a varying perspective, it is hard to accept that. Like pretend you developed the periodic table and you were every proud of this lifelong work putting the framework together; then someone comes out of nowhere displays theres and it completely against yours and it gets recognition from the scientific community while yours is thrown out. This would spark jealousy and this is when bad things may be said to each other. I know i rambled on there lol, but yea im here and i have probably the wildest philosophical ideas you may probably hear that are influenced by and i will admit cherry picking ideas that make sense to me personally and adding my own extentions over it from my perspective living in life. One hypothesis of mine is "our existence is finite but infinite in the experience of it" I think this one would be a great collective project to work on and i think its worthy of building a theory off of. I may lack the intellectual jargon to articulate percisely but i have a ton to say on this subject matter. @@lessiakochetkova8363
You reach the point in your existence when you decide to apply your mind to what lies outside of conventional thinking. This involves having the conviction to adhere to the concept of everything that is exists within you. Jung met his own conceptions, just as anyone else would, and discovered how to exist as a dual being; that is, living within yourself and without yourself in the same plane of existence. Those dynamics work pretty much the same for anyone on a spiritual journey, arriving to what many conceive of as the soul’s mission. You give faith to fate because it’s outside of conventional thinking-and the surest unsure way of trying to project a reality that moves us beyond this failure of a social structure and into one that resonates with the imagination.
The Wizard Oz is the kindergarten Evidence Nothing in history is hidden and warnings are always visible before it happens. Our Bodies Are Vehicles & Your Birth Chart is your Mission.
As the world has changed since the Internet the words of Jung have gained more and more meaning to me. "A great change in the collective unconsious is imenent" the chaos will devour many poor souls. Religions should be ashamed of themselves for sacrificing the youths that will get lost due to the overload of information.
@@joejoejoejoejoejoe4391 no joejoe wokeism will release the dark side of the psyche. For me being uneducated it difficult to understand this tear down the patriarchy. If Jung had the chance now to have a voice, would they believe jesus was a woman's desire. The source of hypergamy? 😎🦁🙏
What information and overload? Everything is described in the Bible and no one even reads it? the ego, I haven't read myself but Jesus talks about the ego and giving it up will lead to to conscious acts, do not phrase the unconscious, you don't know what's in there.
I was so sure you went deep in Jung's theories when you asked "what's your myth" on Instagram. Jung's collective unconscious is today's genomic expression on a biopsychosocial model. That man was way ahead of his epoch. Great work once again! 💪
I consider Jung a Realist, a historian of Human Psychology, an "Illuminist of the First Wave" that didn't fall for the religious / atheist illusionism.
@@antonius_006 I've heard a lot of it but never invested the time for it unfortunately. However I'll definitely look through it now after the recommendation. Thanks 🙏
I am currently studying the ideologies and practices of Shamanism which holds a similar concept. A practice of understanding the myth means letting go of your name to create space for who you can be not who you have been told to be. A master of this practice of letting go of identity means you can wake up everyday and surprise yourself with who you could be. Thank you again, I'm so happy I have found your channel.
I discovered this video right after I had an spiritual awakening with my " True God Self". I had been chanelling it for 30-60 mins every morning and night for the last 2 months through the teachings in Saint Germain book "I Am Discourses". The fact that this came up right afterwards from a prayer was truly astounding. By the way, I have Carl Jungs "the red book" as well, have not fully read it yet. The content of that book and the things he encountered while exploring his consciousness is insane.
The first sentence... “In the year 1914...” Carl Jung began everything in 1913. 🙈 I’ve got a whole series on the Red Book if you are interested 🙏 Much love ♥️
I really loved the part about spiritual renewal and magic being as hard as living without reason. Also the animation accompanying the liminal space, reminds me of Merkabha.
[Eduard] Von Hartmann described three layers of the unconscious: (1) the absolute unconscious, which constitutes the substance of the universe and is the source of the other forms of the unconscious; (2) the physiological unconscious, which like Carus' unconscious, is at work in the origin, development, and evolution of living beings, including man; (3) the relative or psychological unconscious, which lies at the source of our conscious mental life. The main interest of the Philosophy of the Unconscious lies not so much in its philosophical theories as in its wealth of supporting material. Von Hartmann collected numerous and relevant facts concerning perception, the association of ideas, wit, emotional life, instinct, personality traits, individual destiny, as well as the role of the unconscious in language, religion, history, and social life. - Henri F. Ellenberger
3 years in and TH-cam algorithm just brought me this, because of my recent obsession with shadow traits, and I have to say… THIS IS REVOLUTIONARY!! Thank you for blessing us with this masterpiece! 🙏
I’m currently on a journey inward and this book has given me great insight. I’ve been using forgiveness and surrender to over come societies collective unconscious beliefs. There truly only is a higher good and this inner battle will only make us stronger and more understanding. My friend Fortune said, “ Any demons are forces from inside the self. To make this demon ones’ servant- to master it- one must be purified of ego desires and fear.” I’m currently battling fear and hope to overcome soon. Spread love and pray for one another. Let’s make this collective unconscious the most beautiful loving kingdom our spirits/ souls have ever dwelled. Peace love and happiness to all
Fascinating. Jung & his ideas/work are so intriguing especially his thoughts on the afterlife (in the black book I think) it makes so much sense to me anyway. Thanks for another classy video.
Magic equals miracles... The names and faces change but the stories, the patterns, the bullshit all remains the same until I change, not them. To thy own self be true! Heal-thy, My-thical... The joys in the journey, not the destination. ❤️
As a German Biologist and Pythgorean - what a hyper Non Sense. Jung was a greedy smart Sales Man - he never ever gave anything away! You have to pay him and his Clan deearly to buy something. The “red Book ” is the most amazing I ever bought - for 100 Euros... it was his reflections on Psychosis and Depression that haunted him all his life. It is private and intimate and never was desigend by him for any Publication... His greedy Family needs the Money desperately- Swiss is the most expensive country in Europe... The Red Book is worthwhile Buying - like any good well crafted Book. Jung is an extraordinary gifted Artist. Amazing how he found the TIME for the calligraphy and paintings. As he needed so much Money to live his Life of Luxury ... and all his Life he had to compete HARD against his teacher Freud.
the connection between the individual and collective consciousness is insanely complex and so many individuals get lost along the way, but ultimately we are all parts of the same being. We always find ourselves eventually, because we all are ourselves.
I ponder that we all eventually find ourselves in death…to be reborn without memory - very few exceptions apply. I’ve had The Red Book for nigh on ten years and suddenly it pops up in my psyche, so I dug it out from the piles, dusted it off, and begin…
Do you think then that those of us who are traveling the path of the spiritual and mystical might be struggling at the moment?? I had an awakening outside of my inherent mystic self two years ago. However at this point I feel lost. Like I sat down on the path if that makes sense. That my rituals and development have become questionable to myself. So I wonder if it because the unified or collective consciousness is so choked by fear and lies and narcissism and hopelessness etc that it may be what’s disrupting my own journey??
@@mclare71 we are all on this planet together. A lot of people are struggling right now, no matter what path. Our collective consciousness influences every individual and visa versa. We are all one being after all.
@@mclare71 We are ALL travelling the path, yet each path is individual. I just spent five hours planting five trees today. I’m bone weary but it’s a good weary. At no point did the collective consciousness bother me. It’s all around, this I know, and I have learnt to let it go. It takes just 2% of the entire worlds population to carry the great vibe of transformation into 5D…and other dimensions. The collective CANNOT prevent this for it is unstoppable. So, decide which part of this energy you wanna be and just be it. Though I send loving thoughts out on the ether everyday, I realize there are some who will hang onto old patterns, which is OK, it’s their choice and I forgive and release any and all fear of this global transition. Give yourself permission to be happy no matter what. I call it unconditional happiness. Mother Earth thanked me this evening as I finished planting in the twilight gloaming. Such simple bliss…please go well🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳
@@zannafidler2466 Jesus, the sense of superiority is oozing off of that comment. You forgive people for leading their path the way YOU don't approve of? If everyone had an individual journey to embark on, how come you get to decide it isn't to repeat the old patterns exactly as before inn order to realise the myth of, I dunno, "wasted potential"? It seems like your own idea of self is so high up it decides to outline others journey for them instead of accepting that not all journeys are meant to result in the "finish line" as you define it
Our ego tries it’s best to protect our vulnerable self. Not fair to murder it just because it makes mistakes. Be kind to your ego, help it cultivate the confidence it needs to hand the reins back to your true self.
I just started reading the Red Book to find out how Jung went about finding his myth. I know my journey is quite different but was hoping he would shed some light into what questions I need to ask myself. Your video was helpful too to summarize his process.
Once ego is reduced that search can begin but it is dangerous as one becomes driven to achieve a goal they do not know about at the time.Only those that have been through many lives and in the current one are ready can accomplish this.That is why it is them that have that drive knowing it or not does not matter it's out of their controle.A mental and spiritual rollercoaster you can't get off till it ends one way or another.
I am so glad to hear you advise "reducing the Ego. Some people are on a quest to eliminate the Ego - but it is impossible to disown who you 'think' you are. The soul is who you REALLY are - an eternal loving and fearless entity. Through many lifetimes, we develop a lot of who we 'think' we are (Ego's). It doesn't have to be a rollercoaster. It's as Jesus said " I am in this world, but I am not of it". It is very difficult to know what the soul's agenda may be in any one lifetime, but it is certain that it is experience (creating BEINGNESS) that is the soul's main reason for BEING. When the body ceases - so also, the Ego ceases. God (and soul) don't care what you are thinking ( believing), doing, or having at the moment when you 'die' - and neither will you. The only matter of concern is what you are BEING. Humans have a propensity to judge wether an experience is good or bad. To the soul there is no such judgements - they are ALL just Experiences (which the soul craves.IT IS ALL GOOD. I look at it this way. Both the Ego and soul are travelling through life in the same bus. The problem (for most people) is that the crazy Ego is driving the bus - most often into the ditch. The solution is for the sane soul to take over the driving and to send the Ego to the back of the bus where it can be dealt with at an appropriate time. I know from personal experience that the Ego can come to trust the soul. Ego(who you 'think' you are) is a fear based entity and Fear paralyzes and confuses the mind. It is the source of ALL heartache and misery on the planet. Soul(loving and fearless) will ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS do the right thing. With the creative power of Soul, we could create Heaven on Earth 🌎🌍. But I'm probably preaching to the choir here. We need to replace the Fear with Love. Fear and Love CANNOT co-exist. Free Will - choose. Love or Fear. God has said 365 times (in just the bible) to "Fear not". If you can't trust God - you really have a problem. I have worked directly for God for 14 years now. In January 2008 He/She/It gave me a job description (more of a request) that says "I am sending you out by the Power of my Spirit to Release those bound by Fear, to Proclaim Forgiveness, and to Show Love to ALL men". God is not anything like organized religions push. Jesus said "Woe unto ye Pharisees. You are supposed to lead the people to God". They didn't then and they don't now. In my daily interactions with God, He has shown me NOTHING BUT Love and Humor. NO FEAR REQUIRED - AT ALL. I was inspired to comment to you. I hope that it helps you in any small way. Bless you. Gary in Montreal.
@@garychartrand7378 Thank you Gary.I see you are a spiritual person and a deep thinker.Yes fear is a part of ego mostly fear of truth in the world and in ourselves.To look at oneself takes courage and then again to change what you see there. Most avoid looking within so they don't have to change and the ego gets bigger.Individuation is the growth of the self/soul at the expense of the ego where as the ego grows at the expense if the Self/Soul.One takes us closer to that final step towards god the other farther away.Life is that back and forth struggle we are all involved in every day.It does not look good for us as a species because fear has stopped us looking at everything we are doing to our world,the wars which lead to bigger wars are now a problem too.I guess we can only pray as man himself has stopped listening to himself and his planet.
@@lindamoore3304 have hope. If we can wake up more people to the Truth of who they REALLY are - then we will survive in the body. So tell two friends the Truth and they can each tell two friends. We are in the final race between good and evil. Between everything that is God and that which is ungodly. You speak of a "back and forth struggle with Life. I do not struggle with Life. I simply accept what is and go with the flow. Life is the easiest thing I know of. That doesn't mean that I don't wish to change some things, but I strive to do this from a place of Love. To try and change things while being motivated by Fear usually produces even more problems. Spiritualists don't like the word problem. We prefer the word " challenge. Don't lose hope. Everything will be alright - even if we destroy our physical bodies. Reminds me of a joke. One friend asks the other friend " Do you think that there's intelligent life out there?". Friend replies "Why would there be. There's no intelligent life HERE". God bless us all.
@@miliasmoonlet1849 Ofc, the age-old adage that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" rings true for all facets of life, this product of Jung's and Shamdasani's included. The OP could no more convince you of this objects beauty than he could convey the experience the human eye perceives when observing light with a dominant wavelength between approximately 450 and 495nm to the congenitally blind. OP might employ fantastic language to describe the sensations of this colour, such as: It is dark and mysterious; ominous, yet not void as the vacuum of empty space, majestic. It is like the ocean, a tight embrace before the abyss of freedom. It’s a gentle summer breeze caressing your face as the waves splash your ankles - harmless on the surface... However, it's entirely possible that all of which he's seen, felt, experienced and remembered to be 'blue', is in fact how you perceive 'red'.
I started reading the Red Book a few weeks ago. It's amazingly insightful and thought-provoking. You did a great job summarizing such a hugh topic. 😃❤🙏✌
Currently reading the Red Book. I find myself constantly rereading sections to better understand Jung. This book is difficult but ever still I am boadering obsession. I feel pushed externally to understand this and myself. This video helped a lot in my understanding. I hope you make more.
@@azaleaslightsage1271 Why was the book written then? For others to not understand it and go search within yourself? He could've written thaf sentence if he wanted that and keep the contents of red book as diary for himself. He wanted the contents to be mystifying, just like anyone form of expression will be once they tap their unconcious to a SPECIFIC degree
I love this and am always fascinated by Jung and his ideas. He was deeply influenced by the mysticism and profound symbolism of Alchemy, which, in itself, is unfathomably complex. In one way or another, despite the infinite complexity in all of these works, the fundamental purpose feels like a system of cycles(regeneration, becoming and return, etc) which all align towards the resolution of conflict, or, the unification of duality and multiplicity. There is a metaphysical conflict, which plays out deep within the human heart and can only be solved through the experience of being born, living, loving, failing and dying.

I received this book as a gift and as a curious explorer of Jungs writing I am deeply grateful. In some ways the book feels like a magical time, a grimoire. The art and presentation is lush and a feast for the eyes. I will enjoy wandering its pages. Thank you for the wonderful examination of it.
I haven't seen it for sale anywhere. Do you know if it was just bought on Amazon or something like that? I know I can just look that up myself, just figured I'd ask.
Thank you for the clear precise explanation of complicated ideas. I am on board with all of it! I have had my own inner teacher for decades. This books helps me to accept more fully this reality and perhaps give it greater voice.
The god inside us is a symbol of the ideal that we desire to identify ourselves with. The more sense we want to be part of, the more nonsense develops in the unconscious, for duality does not exist in truth. It is our mind that fragments what is real and our desire that tends towards one half of it.
Thank you for this content. This video came up on my main recommendations but I regularly search for videos on the same topics as you’re content and have not seen them before. That’s absurd algorithm I suppose…

This video is like someone went on an adventure of seeking the truth for himself, and in the process he came across this book and made it public. Thanks.
Very beautiful commentary on Carl Gustav Jung’s Red Book and his exploration and personal thought experiments with the personal and collective unconscious. Indeed, Jung gave the world a novel and treasured gift of revolutionary ideas and thoughts. I think Jung attempts to explore and answer two profound philosophical questions, namely “Who am I?” and “What is my myth?”. Perhaps Jung attained Self Realization as Swami Vevekaanand and other saints in their life time. It seems for us who are here, this mystical journey to Self Realization continues. It seems our existence is a fleeting illusion. Continuous self-searching can help those of us who are conscious to find meaning and purpose to life.
just discovered this book. yet to start it...im kinda scared but intrigued of the impact it will have in my life. thank you for the introduction. 🙏 ❤ "A person must pay dearly for the divine gift of creative fire" Carl Jung
Thanks for that video. I saw a bumper sticker that said OH TO BE JUNG AND UNAFREUD....JUNGS AUTOBIOGRAPHY MEMORY DREAMS AND REFLECTIONS...A WONDERFUL READ
Hhmmm. I investigated and invested into the RED BOOK 300$ which is fascinating. Being a life long Jung scholar since 1970. James Hillman and Alan Watts and Huxley are a few of the best writers and admirers of Jung. The Red Book along with the bollingen series plus Jungs commentaries in Tibetan book of the Dead and the I Ching etc are the complete life’s study. Thanks for this.
Absolutely awesome. I haven't gotten around to reading the Red Book yet, but I plan to when I'm ready. It's something that seems daunting to me. Not because of a page count but because of the density of the words.
That is quite a service sir! . The twisted thing, mostly its satisfying part is the sadness of actually understanding perfectly his baffledness and endless love of ...it. u just know 99.997% ppl will be touched but miss the truth. On and on and 0n.
A lot of mental gymnastics with this book. Still I would like to read and give it a try. It's mystery remains me of the king in yellow. I would like to see it as a movie.
Wow. When I was 19 and had my first of many "nervous breakdowns" I had this weird feeling that I was leaving parts of my soul in different places I went. I was raised atheist and didn't discover Jung until I was about 24.
brother, thank you so much for the awesome video and explaination. Glad to see another young person (no pun intended) interested in investigating the minds of Jung. I'm a 25 year guy and I can hardly find another guy my age who's dedicated to Jungian psychology, except through the internet.
I envy you for being open to this kind of world at 25 years old. I'm 42, it took a long time to get her and still haven't scratched surface yet. Kudos for avoiding the distractions that swallow so many young people
I have waited a long time for you to make this video. We need to learn to delve more into ourselves to find our peace in times like these. Thank you ❤️
as I watch this video what arises in me is how fucking unhappy I am! I truly loathe my life. loathe it. despise it. I hate it. I WISH TO DIE. TRULY I WISH FOR NOTHING ELSE. I've lived pretty much my entire life with debilitating crippling paralyzing: suicidal depression. the only moments of happiness in my life come to me in fleeting windows of relief, that never ever last long enough... my life is agony. I am full of: - loneliness - rage - regret - remorse - hopelessness - guilt - terror - anxiety - aloneness - grief - suffering - pain - stress - powerlessness - despair - anguish MY SOUL IS TORTURED AND RAPED. I see no way out of the hell that I'm in.
If I'm wrong, I'm sorry,but I don't believe Jung had experiences with psychedelics. It's a shame. He might have left us a multi-color fluorescent book.
I've read the red book in full and also do not believe he used psychedelics. It seems to me he was simply a visionary savant who had already had encounters with imaginative visions in his childhood. In his adult life pursuing his studies and science, he temporarily cast off those childhood visions. When he started exploring the unconscious mind with Freud he had a vision that Freud misinterpreted, but Jung understood to mean that he should go down the secret hatch in the dark corner of the basement of his self. When he and Freud split, his position in his studies had ripened him for exploration and returning to accessing the gifting of his childhood now armed with riches of knowledge and wisdom. He discovered the height of human understanding was to stop hovering near its presumptuous apex and instead fall off the other side into madness and absurdity; where science had failed to explore. Psychedelics can fast track the kinds of visual and spiritual experiences Jung had; but his experience was conducted over a few years and was an extremely difficult endeavor full of transformative yet hellishly maddening encounters with his own soul, with a number of spirits, with Satan, with gods, and with myths; all of which carried the deepest sorts of mysteries from which he drew and later formulated his life's work. He presents these mysteries on silver platters throughout, often explaining them in robust detail, and yet you're left watching as these mysteries dissolve into sand and slip through your fingers. The sand falls beneath a grate which our presumptuous preoccupied minds are scarcely able to reach within; for we strive not to dissolve ourselves, though we ought to if we are going to finally be true selves.
Who am I really and what is my myth? Abstract. I have long been curious about what sets Jung apart from a spiritual point of view in contrast with Freud. My understanding is that Jung believed there to be a spiritual aspect to understanding ourselves and our behavior, and Freud did not. I find this fascinating, particularly because of my own experiences. My first internal response to those questions is that I killed the myth when I was 10 years old. Not raised in church and searching for my own meaning of God, I decided that people believed in God because they needed something to believe In. My search over the years since then comes back to the same conclusion. I could elaborate my thoughts further on the subject of spirituality but for now I just want to say I do believe along with Jung that there is a collective subconscious.
I think that your myth isn't singular, since you must continue to battle the prospect of duality imposed on you from the outer world. Thus, at each stage of your life you embody a different archetype depending on your environmental variables and mental/spiritual state and this the archetype of certain point in your life is the myth as you live it and only upon transformation of your being are you capable of either incorporate another archetype and begin a new mythical journey oooooor, integrate all parts of self and look beyond to be oriented towards the collective unconcious and its implications, marking the process of individuation from then onwards.
You stated that the collective unconscious has its roots in myth and religion. I believe it is the inherent way around. The structure to myth is in the collective unconscious, the myth itself is a projection of that preexisting structure
That's kinda mind-bending. The current collective unconscious was created over time through our adherence to myths and religions. If we want to be specific, we need to go back in time and identify when people started using myths and religions as mechanisms to develop thinking motifs. So, I don't think there was a preexisting structure. There was some collective unconscious before we started thinking in myths and religions, but it was operating differently.
Jung proposed the "conscious mind" with which the individual forms concepts, including a "concept of self" he called the Ego. This "concept of self" does not necessarily represent "reality" by any measure, and the further from reality it was, the more psychological issues the individual has. Jung also theorized the "individual unconscious" and the "collective unconscious" of which the "conscious mind" was mostly unaware, but where the "Real Self" (in contrast to the "conceptual self") resides. This raises the question: "why the need for two consciousnesses?" especially if we are mostly unaware of the "unconscious". In some circles it is called "the veil" which could be understood as that which splits / jamms the unconscious from the conscious. That gets back to the "created in the image of God" understanding, while at the same time not being consciously aware of that. That the "image of God, and the Real Self" reside in that "individual and collective unconscious". (the I AM THAT I AM) So what is the point of that? It seems that to have the Space Time experience, requires that we need to be unaware that we are the ones creating it. If we are not aware that we are creating it, then it seems to be happening outside of us, and it is happening to us, independent of us. An illusion that is made to seem real while we are in it.
... don't necessarily agree with reason/unreason split, if we interpret Reason as Possessing or Containing Intuition. (separating half of Intuition from Mythos)
Kubrick was quite interested in Jung’s work and some believe that his film The Shining is very influenced by his ideas. There’s a scene in which a red book is seen on the desk of the character Ullman, and some believe it was a “shout out” to Jung.
Awesome video thank you! There is a great need for examination and experimentation with works like Jung's Red Book at this time. Thank you for reminding me of it today!
To better understanding of Red Book and Carl Jung's life - you should read Peter Kingsley's "Catafalque". You will find out a lot of knew things about Jung, psychology and humanity itself. Individuation process is NOT for everybody. Jung was afraid to open to a public/crowds his true nature, views and philosophy. And Jung once said what he thinks about jungians: "Thank God i am Jung - and not a jungian!"
I believe, and I'm not alone in thinking this either, that it was Jung's later works that were even more profound and insightful (albiet having been built upon his entire lifes work). In fact i recently heard a recording of Terence McKenna whom was in agreeance with me on that former point. The red book "can" be interpreted sure, but for (and I hope this doesn't come across arrogantly) the initiated or those that see beyond, I believe it was a means of expanding on his obviously ahead of his time ideas on spirituality that are so uncanny. His reference to magic, I mean what "seeker" at some point hasn't either been curious or curious enough to try and dabble? Everything mentioned in this video is incredibly well presented in depicting without giving away too much, what he "may have meant". I think it also prudent to mention that these seemingly abstract and almost senility like convoluted language, structure, content and presentation are just the right amount of "hinting at" knowledge that his era could rrally have handled. And I think that's part of the reason why it's presented in such the way that it is. I'm sure as time goes on much Our Generations such as ourselves can read between the lines or between the lines of the lines and perhaps come to conclusions that might have been two questionable to comprehend during the time he wrote The Red Book. There are so many points to touch on about the entire book but I must say very well done for taking what excerpts you could and fitting them in the video. Some of my favourite thinking was quoted by you and now after watching I have no option but to contemplate, disect and reflect. 🙏
Whatever he wrote was his personal experience, none of us have to go by the word, but by the intention of the words which is exactly what every spiritual guru has said in the past, and the current ones too. What he calls unconscious is the place where our thoughts seem to emerge from, when we are concious we are aware of these thoughts, but things like art and creativity come from this unknown place. I don't think we need to read but explore within ourselves and then we can easily make sense of his words.
His ideas weren't "ahead of his time", the Eastern cultures have been addressing the spiritual matters for far longer...Jung just made it more comprehensible to the West and popularised the notions that most spiritual people would, at some point in their life, experience. Jung's education enabled him to conceptualise the process he's endured, BUUUUUT, his insights are far too individualised to be of any use or directory in Red Book, which is exactly why I have some reservations in terms of sharing all the creations that are tied so closely to the internal imagery that often deal with the subject as much as with the objec.
psychology, art, math, music, science, religion... these things are not separate. academia has only separated them to specialize in each field, for better or for worse

"Until we make the unconscious conscious, it will direct our lives and we will call it fate."
-carl jung
Whereas when we make the unconscious conscious, we may direct our own lives and call it destiny....
Next Jed McKenna's Books, it almost they same with Jung, but with Jed it's more grounded, specially the " The Damnedest things " the first book.
I think making the entire unconscious conscious is an impossibility and I believe that while we bring things out of the unconscious like rocks out of the river bed, we only do so to study and learn them, and sometimes document to teach others about them. But ultimately we have to let them go back to the unconscious else we get weighed down and we may sink before we make it to the ocean. If you make conscious a complex physical action, such as jumping over a fence, you'll more likely mess it up. "How am i doing this?" Where as if you leave the task as mostly unconscious, all the calculations will "do themselves" as it is a much more powerful computer anyway.
Yall do realize these are just the musings of a guy right? Its b.s. . Interesting b.s., but b.s. nonetheless.
@@jimberlygridder183 Should check that ego.
Jung's work is one of the best example of how science and the occult are just two sides of the same coin
Two sides of the same prism
No...not only the occult and secular-based belief systems but all beliefs systems has this duality (including Christianity) what we need to do is to separate our material reasoning with our personal-philosophical reasoning, one answers "how our universe works" but the other is how we answer "how life works" (mind the difference in wording), a very-hard-and-admittedly-psyche-crumbling synthesis to achieve for sure but it's possible but nonetheless.
You have moved a great point. I wonderd many times if science was some kind of occult when I read and studied the quantum mechanics where all is so messed up there. And are physicists occultists? Or even mathematicians who in some mysterious ways find equations which they only understand and then accounce to the World that they found truth. I myself found mathematical equations which make perfect sense to me but others dismissed them. So, maybe science and occult are the two sides of the same coin. Greetings.
@@ericephemetherson3964yep. Some of them werent tho. Like Stienmentz and Tesla. But those guys got pushed out of the way because their stuff was going to show the world how electricity and energy could truly be used for all.

They backed Einstein and relativity and particle,wave, and blah blah.

How wonderful it could be to have the privilege to meet with people who are interested to talk about such things as the teachings of Carl Jung and share their own ideas and insights without prejudice or egotistical perceptions or limitations. I long for that day/opportunity. ☯
It shall come soon!
Trust me, I have been looking for those people, but found none. Maybe, reading and understanding Jung aim only to find one's own myth, one's own equation.
If you have available money, the CG Jung Institut in Küsnacht runs week-long study intensives for the general public twice a year; July and February. It is expensive, but one is surrounded by others with at least some parallel interests, so it's a worthy pursuit. The kicker is that one has to be relatively comfortable financially to be able to do it.
I think it's literally not about finding people who you can have such open conversations with people, it's about you, it's about who you let into your own space and how you engage with others. If you can openly talk about what interests you to literally everyone you meet, and nonverbally asking them to meet you at your level, you're sure to meet someone who might not have an in-depth knowledge about the conversation you're bringing forth. But you might find that you meet someone who's always been curious about such topics/knowledge and didn't know where to start when it comes to acquiring it. Sometimes it would mean you might become a teacher rather than exchanging notes
Im here, but ill be honest i tend to get angry when a viewpoint of mine is ignored as nonsense; something i got to work on. I think that angers most people though when you dont feel heard when you speak. In text you have to be careful when adding on to what someone says because it can sound condecending; like signal saying "hey i know more than you." Im sure most intellectual carry alot of pride and like to share what they know but when another arrives on the same subject they are focused so much on with a varying perspective, it is hard to accept that. Like pretend you developed the periodic table and you were every proud of this lifelong work putting the framework together; then someone comes out of nowhere displays theres and it completely against yours and it gets recognition from the scientific community while yours is thrown out. This would spark jealousy and this is when bad things may be said to each other.
I know i rambled on there lol, but yea im here and i have probably the wildest philosophical ideas you may probably hear that are influenced by and i will admit cherry picking ideas that make sense to me personally and adding my own extentions over it from my perspective living in life.
One hypothesis of mine is "our existence is finite but infinite in the experience of it"
I think this one would be a great collective project to work on and i think its worthy of building a theory off of. I may lack the intellectual jargon to articulate percisely but i have a ton to say on this subject matter.
@@lessiakochetkova8363
You reach the point in your existence when you decide to apply your mind to what lies outside of conventional thinking. This involves having the conviction to adhere to the concept of everything that is exists within you. Jung met his own conceptions, just as anyone else would, and discovered how to exist as a dual being; that is, living within yourself and without yourself in the same plane of existence. Those dynamics work pretty much the same for anyone on a spiritual journey, arriving to what many conceive of as the soul’s mission. You give faith to fate because it’s outside of conventional thinking-and the surest unsure way of trying to project a reality that moves us beyond this failure of a social structure and into one that resonates with the imagination.
Wow
Beautifully articulated neutral zero point hearing seeing feeling 🙏🤍🌄🪞
Jung must have mentioned that there are many of us who were born with a deep sense of our spiritual self and all our lives would be seekers.

As the world has changed since the Internet the words of Jung have gained more and more meaning to me. "A great change in the collective unconsious is imenent" the chaos will devour many poor souls. Religions should be ashamed of themselves for sacrificing the youths that will get lost due to the overload of information.
Would you consider "wokeism " as a religion in that context ?
@@joejoejoejoejoejoe4391 no joejoe wokeism will release the dark side of the psyche. For me being uneducated it difficult to understand this tear down the patriarchy. If Jung had the chance now to have a voice, would they believe jesus was a woman's desire. The source of hypergamy? 😎🦁🙏

What information and overload? Everything is described in the Bible and no one even reads it? the ego, I haven't read myself but Jesus talks about the ego and giving it up will lead to to conscious acts, do not phrase the unconscious, you don't know what's in there.
I was so sure you went deep in Jung's theories when you asked "what's your myth" on Instagram. Jung's collective unconscious is today's genomic expression on a biopsychosocial model. That man was way ahead of his epoch. Great work once again! 💪
Had to prepare the ground haha

A master of this practice of letting go of identity means you can wake up everyday and surprise yourself with who you could be. Thank you again, I'm so happy I have found your channel.
I discovered this video right after I had an spiritual awakening with my " True God Self". I had been chanelling it for 30-60 mins every morning and night for the last 2 months through the teachings in Saint Germain book "I Am Discourses". The fact that this came up right afterwards from a prayer was truly astounding. By the way, I have Carl Jungs "the red book" as well, have not fully read it yet. The content of that book and the things he encountered while exploring his consciousness is insane.
You are god experiencing
Becareful using the words God and Self.
You have No God self, it’s The thoughts of The devil.
God is beyond creation.
The first sentence... “In the year 1914...” Carl Jung began everything in 1913. 🙈 I’ve got a whole series on the Red Book if you are interested 🙏 Much love ♥️
You are right, it was end of 2013.
That was so relevant... not
I really loved the part about spiritual renewal and magic being as hard as living without reason.
Also the animation accompanying the liminal space, reminds me of Merkabha.
[Eduard] Von Hartmann described three layers of the unconscious: (1) the absolute unconscious, which constitutes the substance of the universe and is the source of the other forms of the unconscious; (2) the physiological unconscious, which like Carus' unconscious, is at work in the origin, development, and evolution of living beings, including man; (3) the relative or psychological unconscious, which lies at the source of our conscious mental life. The main interest of the Philosophy of the Unconscious lies not so much in its philosophical theories as in its wealth of supporting material. Von Hartmann collected numerous and relevant facts concerning perception, the association of ideas, wit, emotional life, instinct, personality traits, individual destiny, as well as the role of the unconscious in language, religion, history, and social life. - Henri F. Ellenberger
3 years in and TH-cam algorithm just brought me this, because of my recent obsession with shadow traits, and I have to say… THIS IS REVOLUTIONARY!! Thank you for blessing us with this masterpiece! 🙏
I’m currently on a journey inward and this book has given me great insight. I’ve been using forgiveness and surrender to over come societies collective unconscious beliefs. There truly only is a higher good and this inner battle will only make us stronger and more understanding. My friend Fortune said, “ Any demons are forces from inside the self. To make this demon ones’ servant- to master it- one must be purified of ego desires and fear.”
I’m currently battling fear and hope to overcome soon. Spread love and pray for one another. Let’s make this collective unconscious the most beautiful loving kingdom our spirits/ souls have ever dwelled. Peace love and happiness to all
Fascinating. Jung & his ideas/work are so intriguing especially his thoughts on the afterlife (in the black book I think) it makes so much sense to me anyway. Thanks for another classy video.

As a German Biologist and Pythgorean - what a hyper Non Sense. Jung was a greedy smart Sales Man - he never ever gave anything away! You have to pay him and his Clan deearly to buy something. The “red Book ” is the most amazing I ever bought - for 100 Euros... it was his reflections on Psychosis and Depression that haunted him all his life. It is private and intimate and never was desigend by him for any Publication... His greedy Family needs the Money desperately- Swiss is the most expensive country in Europe... The Red Book is worthwhile Buying - like any good well crafted Book. Jung is an extraordinary gifted Artist. Amazing how he found the TIME for the calligraphy and paintings. As he needed so much Money to live his Life of Luxury ... and all his Life he had to compete HARD against his teacher Freud.
Freud was nothing to Jung, Jung surpassed him by a high degree.
Thanks for this! I'm in the middle of "Memories, Dreams, Reflections" and your video was a helpful supplement.
the connection between the individual and collective consciousness is insanely complex and so many individuals get lost along the way, but ultimately we are all parts of the same being. We always find ourselves eventually, because we all are ourselves.
I ponder that we all eventually find ourselves in death…to be reborn without memory - very few exceptions apply. I’ve had The Red Book for nigh on ten years and suddenly it pops up in my psyche, so I dug it out from the piles, dusted it off, and begin…
Do you think then that those of us who are traveling the path of the spiritual and mystical might be struggling at the moment?? I had an awakening outside of my inherent mystic self two years ago. However at this point I feel lost. Like I sat down on the path if that makes sense. That my rituals and development have become questionable to myself. So I wonder if it because the unified or collective consciousness is so choked by fear and lies and narcissism and hopelessness etc that it may be what’s disrupting my own journey??
@@mclare71 we are all on this planet together. A lot of people are struggling right now, no matter what path. Our collective consciousness influences every individual and visa versa. We are all one being after all.
@@mclare71 We are ALL travelling the path, yet each path is individual. I just spent five hours planting five trees today. I’m bone weary but it’s a good weary. At no point did the collective consciousness bother me. It’s all around, this I know, and I have learnt to let it go. It takes just 2% of the entire worlds population to carry the great vibe of transformation into 5D…and other dimensions. The collective CANNOT prevent this for it is unstoppable. So, decide which part of this energy you wanna be and just be it. Though I send loving thoughts out on the ether everyday, I realize there are some who will hang onto old patterns, which is OK, it’s their choice and I forgive and release any and all fear of this global transition. Give yourself permission to be happy no matter what. I call it unconditional happiness. Mother Earth thanked me this evening as I finished planting in the twilight gloaming. Such simple bliss…please go well🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳
@@zannafidler2466 Jesus, the sense of superiority is oozing off of that comment.
You forgive people for leading their path the way YOU don't approve of? If everyone had an individual journey to embark on, how come you get to decide it isn't to repeat the old patterns exactly as before inn order to realise the myth of, I dunno, "wasted potential"?
It seems like your own idea of self is so high up it decides to outline others journey for them instead of accepting that not all journeys are meant to result in the "finish line" as you define it
Our ego tries it’s best to protect our vulnerable self. Not fair to murder it just because it makes mistakes. Be kind to your ego, help it cultivate the confidence it needs to hand the reins back to your true self.
I just started reading the Red Book to find out how Jung went about finding his myth. I know my journey is quite different but was hoping he would shed some light into what questions I need to ask myself. Your video was helpful too to summarize his process.
How do I get the book
Once ego is reduced that search can begin but it is dangerous as one becomes driven to achieve a goal they do not know about at the time.Only those that have been through many lives and in the current one are ready can accomplish this.That is why it is them that have that drive knowing it or not does not matter it's out of their controle.A mental and spiritual rollercoaster you can't get off till it ends one way or another.
I am so glad to hear you advise "reducing the Ego. Some people are on a quest to eliminate the Ego - but it is impossible to disown who you 'think' you are. The soul is who you REALLY are - an eternal loving and fearless entity. Through many lifetimes, we develop a lot of who we 'think' we are (Ego's). It doesn't have to be a rollercoaster. It's as Jesus said " I am in this world, but I am not of it". It is very difficult to know what the soul's agenda may be in any one lifetime, but it is certain that it is experience (creating BEINGNESS) that is the soul's main reason for BEING. When the body ceases - so also, the Ego ceases. God (and soul) don't care what you are thinking ( believing), doing, or having at the moment when you 'die' - and neither will you. The only matter of concern is what you are BEING. Humans have a propensity to judge wether an experience is good or bad. To the soul there is no such judgements - they are ALL just Experiences (which the soul craves.IT IS ALL GOOD.
I look at it this way. Both the Ego and soul are travelling through life in the same bus. The problem (for most people) is that the crazy Ego is driving the bus - most often into the ditch. The solution is for the sane soul to take over the driving and to send the Ego to the back of the bus where it can be dealt with at an appropriate time. I know from personal experience that the Ego can come to trust the soul.
Ego(who you 'think' you are) is a fear based entity and Fear paralyzes and confuses the mind. It is the source of ALL heartache and misery on the planet. Soul(loving and fearless) will ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS do the right thing. With the creative power of Soul, we could create Heaven on Earth 🌎🌍. But I'm probably preaching to the choir here. We need to replace the Fear with Love. Fear and Love CANNOT co-exist. Free Will - choose. Love or Fear. God has said 365 times (in just the bible) to "Fear not". If you can't trust God - you really have a problem.
I have worked directly for God for 14 years now. In January 2008 He/She/It gave me a job description (more of a request) that says "I am sending you out by the Power of my Spirit to Release those bound by Fear, to Proclaim Forgiveness, and to Show Love to ALL men". God is not anything like organized religions push. Jesus said "Woe unto ye Pharisees. You are supposed to lead the people to God". They didn't then and they don't now. In my daily interactions with God, He has shown me NOTHING BUT Love and Humor. NO FEAR REQUIRED - AT ALL. I was inspired to comment to you. I hope that it helps you in any small way.
Bless you. Gary in Montreal.
@@garychartrand7378 Thank you Gary.I see you are a spiritual person and a deep thinker.Yes fear is a part of ego mostly fear of truth in the world and in ourselves.To look at oneself takes courage and then again to change what you see there. Most avoid looking within so they don't have to change and the ego gets bigger.Individuation is the growth of the self/soul at the expense of the ego where as the ego grows at the expense if the Self/Soul.One takes us closer to that final step towards god the other farther away.Life is that back and forth struggle we are all involved in every day.It does not look good for us as a species because fear has stopped us looking at everything we are doing to our world,the wars which lead to bigger wars are now a problem too.I guess we can only pray as man himself has stopped listening to himself and his planet.
@@lindamoore3304 have hope. If we can wake up more people to the Truth of who they REALLY are - then we will survive in the body. So tell two friends the Truth and they can each tell two friends. We are in the final race between good and evil. Between everything that is God and that which is ungodly.
You speak of a "back and forth struggle with Life. I do not struggle with Life. I simply accept what is and go with the flow. Life is the easiest thing I know of. That doesn't mean that I don't wish to change some things, but I strive to do this from a place of Love. To try and change things while being motivated by Fear usually produces even more problems. Spiritualists don't like the word problem. We prefer the word " challenge. Don't lose hope. Everything will be alright - even if we destroy our physical bodies.
Reminds me of a joke. One friend asks the other friend " Do you think that there's intelligent life out there?". Friend replies "Why would there be. There's no intelligent life HERE". God bless us all.

@@miliasmoonlet1849 Ofc, the age-old adage that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" rings true for all facets of life, this product of Jung's and Shamdasani's included.

OP might employ fantastic language to describe the sensations of this colour, such as: It is dark and mysterious; ominous, yet not void as the vacuum of empty space, majestic.

I love this and am always fascinated by Jung and his ideas. He was deeply influenced by the mysticism and profound symbolism of Alchemy, which, in itself, is unfathomably complex. In one way or another, despite the infinite complexity in all of these works, the fundamental purpose feels like a system of cycles(regeneration, becoming and return, etc) which all align towards the resolution of conflict, or, the unification of duality and multiplicity. There is a metaphysical conflict, which plays out deep within the human heart and can only be solved through the experience of being born, living, loving, failing and dying.

The god inside us is a symbol of the ideal that we desire to identify ourselves with. The more sense we want to be part of, the more nonsense develops in the unconscious, for duality does not exist in truth. It is our mind that fragments what is real and our desire that tends towards one half of it.

Jung tried to explain why Something Unknown Is Doing We Don't Know What.
I don't fault him for trying....
This is the first I’ve heard of this book. Thanks
Very beautiful commentary on Carl Gustav Jung’s Red Book and his exploration and personal thought experiments with the personal and collective unconscious. Indeed, Jung gave the world a novel and treasured gift of revolutionary ideas and thoughts.
I think Jung attempts to explore and answer two profound philosophical questions, namely “Who am I?” and “What is my myth?”. Perhaps Jung attained Self Realization as Swami Vevekaanand and other saints in their life time. It seems for us who are here, this mystical journey to Self Realization continues. It seems our existence is a fleeting illusion. Continuous self-searching can help those of us who are conscious to find meaning and purpose to life.

Hhmmm. I investigated and invested into the RED BOOK 300$ which is fascinating. Being a life long Jung scholar since 1970. James Hillman and Alan Watts and Huxley are a few of the best writers and admirers of Jung.
The Red Book along with the bollingen series plus Jungs commentaries in Tibetan book of the Dead and the I Ching etc are the complete life’s study. Thanks for this.
Beautifully presented and understood. Loved this video. Thank you.
Absolutely awesome. I haven't gotten around to reading the Red Book yet, but I plan to when I'm ready. It's something that seems daunting to me. Not because of a page count but because of the density of the words.
thank you so much for putting this info out there, so beautifully done
thank you :)
That is quite a service sir! . The twisted thing, mostly its satisfying part is the sadness of actually understanding perfectly his baffledness and endless love of ...it. u just know 99.997% ppl will be touched but miss the truth. On and on and 0n.
A lot of mental gymnastics with this book. Still I would like to read and give it a try. It's mystery remains me of the king in yellow. I would like to see it as a movie.
Wow. When I was 19 and had my first of many "nervous breakdowns" I had this weird feeling that I was leaving parts of my soul in different places I went. I was raised atheist and didn't discover Jung until I was about 24.
brother, thank you so much for the awesome video and explaination. Glad to see another young person (no pun intended) interested in investigating the minds of Jung. I'm a 25 year guy and I can hardly find another guy my age who's dedicated to Jungian psychology, except through the internet.

If I'm wrong, I'm sorry,but I don't believe Jung had experiences with psychedelics. It's a shame. He might have left us a multi-color fluorescent book.
haha
I've read the red book in full and also do not believe he used psychedelics. It seems to me he was simply a visionary savant who had already had encounters with imaginative visions in his childhood. In his adult life pursuing his studies and science, he temporarily cast off those childhood visions. When he started exploring the unconscious mind with Freud he had a vision that Freud misinterpreted, but Jung understood to mean that he should go down the secret hatch in the dark corner of the basement of his self. When he and Freud split, his position in his studies had ripened him for exploration and returning to accessing the gifting of his childhood now armed with riches of knowledge and wisdom. He discovered the height of human understanding was to stop hovering near its presumptuous apex and instead fall off the other side into madness and absurdity; where science had failed to explore.
Psychedelics can fast track the kinds of visual and spiritual experiences Jung had; but his experience was conducted over a few years and was an extremely difficult endeavor full of transformative yet hellishly maddening encounters with his own soul, with a number of spirits, with Satan, with gods, and with myths; all of which carried the deepest sorts of mysteries from which he drew and later formulated his life's work. He presents these mysteries on silver platters throughout, often explaining them in robust detail, and yet you're left watching as these mysteries dissolve into sand and slip through your fingers. The sand falls beneath a grate which our presumptuous preoccupied minds are scarcely able to reach within; for we strive not to dissolve ourselves, though we ought to if we are going to finally be true selves.
Who am I really and what is my myth? Abstract. I have long been curious about what sets Jung apart from a spiritual point of view in contrast with Freud. My understanding is that Jung believed there to be a spiritual aspect to understanding ourselves and our behavior, and Freud did not. I find this fascinating, particularly because of my own experiences.
My first internal response to those questions is that I killed the myth when I was 10 years old. Not raised in church and searching for my own meaning of God, I decided that people believed in God because they needed something to believe In. My search over the years since then comes back to the same conclusion. I could elaborate my thoughts further on the subject of spirituality but for now I just want to say I do believe along with Jung that there is a collective subconscious.
I think that your myth isn't singular, since you must continue to battle the prospect of duality imposed on you from the outer world. Thus, at each stage of your life you embody a different archetype depending on your environmental variables and mental/spiritual state and this the archetype of certain point in your life is the myth as you live it and only upon transformation of your being are you capable of either incorporate another archetype and begin a new mythical journey oooooor, integrate all parts of self and look beyond to be oriented towards the collective unconcious and its implications, marking the process of individuation from then onwards.
You presented the premises of the so beautifully. I will get a hold of it
enjoy

You stated that the collective unconscious has its roots in myth and religion. I believe it is the inherent way around. The structure to myth is in the collective unconscious, the myth itself is a projection of that preexisting structure
That's kinda mind-bending. The current collective unconscious was created over time through our adherence to myths and religions. If we want to be specific, we need to go back in time and identify when people started using myths and religions as mechanisms to develop thinking motifs. So, I don't think there was a preexisting structure. There was some collective unconscious before we started thinking in myths and religions, but it was operating differently.
One of the better done videos I have seen in awhile from anyone
Jung proposed the "conscious mind" with which the individual forms concepts, including a "concept of self" he called the Ego. This "concept of self" does not necessarily represent "reality" by any measure, and the further from reality it was, the more psychological issues the individual has. Jung also theorized the "individual unconscious" and the "collective unconscious" of which the "conscious mind" was mostly unaware, but where the "Real Self" (in contrast to the "conceptual self") resides. This raises the question: "why the need for two consciousnesses?" especially if we are mostly unaware of the "unconscious". In some circles it is called "the veil" which could be understood as that which splits / jamms the unconscious from the conscious. That gets back to the "created in the image of God" understanding, while at the same time not being consciously aware of that. That the "image of God, and the Real Self" reside in that "individual and collective unconscious". (the I AM THAT I AM) So what is the point of that? It seems that to have the Space Time experience, requires that we need to be unaware that we are the ones creating it. If we are not aware that we are creating it, then it seems to be happening outside of us, and it is happening to us, independent of us. An illusion that is made to seem real while we are in it.
Thank you, that was a really helpful introduction
Hey thank you for this video! Gonna save up to buy this book now haha.

It's difficult to exist without reason
And that is exactly how hard magic is
... don't necessarily agree with reason/unreason split, if we interpret Reason as Possessing or Containing Intuition. (separating half of Intuition from Mythos)
Kubrick was quite interested in Jung’s work and some believe that his film The Shining is very influenced by his ideas. There’s a scene in which a red book is seen on the desk of the character Ullman, and some believe it was a “shout out” to Jung.
didn't know. He is my favorite filmmaker. good to know
Nice summary. Well done.
High-quality production! Thank you 💯
Awesome video thank you! There is a great need for examination and experimentation with works like Jung's Red Book at this time. Thank you for reminding me of it today!
I love this bro !!! so much profound wisdom !!! 🔥❤️🔥🔥😎🫶🏼👌🏼

To better understanding of Red Book and Carl Jung's life - you should read Peter Kingsley's "Catafalque".
You will find out a lot of knew things about Jung, psychology and humanity itself. Individuation process is NOT for everybody. Jung was afraid to open to a public/crowds his true nature, views and philosophy. And Jung once said what he thinks about jungians: "Thank God i am Jung - and not a jungian!"
I believe, and I'm not alone in thinking this either, that it was Jung's later works that were even more profound and insightful (albiet having been built upon his entire lifes work). In fact i recently heard a recording of Terence McKenna whom was in agreeance with me on that former point. The red book "can" be interpreted sure, but for (and I hope this doesn't come across arrogantly) the initiated or those that see beyond, I believe it was a means of expanding on his obviously ahead of his time ideas on spirituality that are so uncanny. His reference to magic, I mean what "seeker" at some point hasn't either been curious or curious enough to try and dabble?
Everything mentioned in this video is incredibly well presented in depicting without giving away too much, what he "may have meant". I think it also prudent to mention that these seemingly abstract and almost senility like convoluted language, structure, content and presentation are just the right amount of "hinting at" knowledge that his era could rrally have handled. And I think that's part of the reason why it's presented in such the way that it is. I'm sure as time goes on much Our Generations such as ourselves can read between the lines or between the lines of the lines and perhaps come to conclusions that might have been two questionable to comprehend during the time he wrote The Red Book. There are so many points to touch on about the entire book but I must say very well done for taking what excerpts you could and fitting them in the video. Some of my favourite thinking was quoted by you and now after watching I have no option but to contemplate, disect and reflect. 🙏
That's such a powerful comment. Thank you for this.
@@metamorphosis_77 thank you for the great content. Keep up the amazing sharing of inquest into thought and being!🙏
Whatever he wrote was his personal experience, none of us have to go by the word, but by the intention of the words which is exactly what every spiritual guru has said in the past, and the current ones too. What he calls unconscious is the place where our thoughts seem to emerge from, when we are concious we are aware of these thoughts, but things like art and creativity come from this unknown place. I don't think we need to read but explore within ourselves and then we can easily make sense of his words.
His ideas weren't "ahead of his time", the Eastern cultures have been addressing the spiritual matters for far longer...Jung just made it more comprehensible to the West and popularised the notions that most spiritual people would, at some point in their life, experience. Jung's education enabled him to conceptualise the process he's endured, BUUUUUT, his insights are far too individualised to be of any use or directory in Red Book, which is exactly why I have some reservations in terms of sharing all the creations that are tied so closely to the internal imagery that often deal with the subject as much as with the objec.
Thank you for sharing it! 🙏🏻💛
psychology, art, math, music, science, religion... these things are not separate. academia has only separated them to specialize in each field, for better or for worse
Be peaceful, not harmless
It's a unique book, and should be read with flexibility.
It's never a decision.It is a quest that drives the soul to fruition no controle like the moth to the flame man to his source in god.
Thank you! Beautifully done! #SouthAfricaLove to you!
just got broken up with because she lost feelings, and it’s one of the worst things i’ve ever felt. this is the start of my journey.

THANK YOU … you have opened the doorless way into the space with no exit. Truly appreciated, alongside all commentators contributions, a great band of mind adventurers. 🌀🌀🌀
