- According to Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung, the ultimate self-realization is the integration of the unconscious into the conscious. This is called the individuation process. So, how does this work?

@Infinite Shoeblack its hard to say. Do you think rationalists can be optimistic? Do you think a rationalist can change the way they think and stop being rational? I think my life would be easier and more enjoyable, fulfilling even if i wasnt always analyzing, predicting and judging, but time and time again i am reminded that the way i think is very difficult to change. I appreciate your reply.

@@letshavefun5210 that's exactly the point...conquering yourself is more difficult than the impossible
No way Buddha said this
Self realization is so painful. Figuring out what happened to you. Most of bad behavior is born from childhood trauma.
I disagree, I think it is naive to blame all personality traits on childhood experiences. I believe that we as humans inhibit different personalities.
I'd say that while your childhood's important, well you develop throughout your whole life. I think people forget this a lot.
This is simplistic. Unlike Freud, Jung didn't believe the solution to our problems were set in the personal past, hence the archetypes and collective unconscious. This is a deeper more sΦphi(a)sticated psychology, no navel-gazing.
So true! I actually just discovered that everything that I became was because of a childhood trauma
I’m so glad I am attacking these realization at an early age of 19 because I am really looking into common sense *which is not common at all* and morality.I woke up every day with the Thought of death, life, my consciousness, Myself and also the sensitive ego we have in ourselves. But what’s really making the future really promising is psychedelics because psychedelics is proving to humans that we don’t know anything yet, We still have a lot of wonderful mysteries to figure out about this world and the closest source to the answer is psychedelics like LSD or natural psychedelics which expands your mind, and makes you down to nature harmonic loving and also creative.
Humanity has explored so much on the planet and outside of it but many are still rather hesitant to explore the realms of inner kingdom.
*That's where the truth lies.*
What exactly is "the truth"?
@@freya5902 Probably subjective.
@@freya5902 Truth = Self, Natural State, Awareness, etc. ...Go check out 'actualized.org' recent video about Truth for deep insight
Isn't it misleading to compare exploration of the outer landscape with the inner one? Exploration of our physical world is a collective feat of humanity, amassed during billions of lifetimes, while the exploration of the spiritual world is the opposite: arguably short, deeply personal, and abstract. They are too fundamentally different to be compared. I also think that the truth lies as much in the realms of the outer kingdom as in the inner kingdom. Interactions with the outer kingdom expose us to physical experiences that create spiritual reactions within ourselves, which we analyze in introspection. Therefore, the physical world indirectly gives us a truth -- we just need to realize it. Or am I crazy?
@@freya5902 Imo, there isn't "the truth" but multiple "truth"s. We discover them to piece together to form an imitation of the truth of our being, but we will never reach the real objective truth because we ourselves are not objective. We cannot ascend into the objective plane as all-knowing and all-seeing (as much as we would like to) because of the innate essence of humanity. We are in a sense chained but nevertheless empowered by being shaped by both nature and nurture, but we can try to reach it. Maybe that's our goal as persons: to possess an "objective" and "subjective" perspective of ourselves and the pieces of ourselves in others so that we are both logical, calculating, and emotional, emphatic. That's what I think--subjectively anyways :I
"The true value of a human being is primarily determined by the measure and the sense in which he has achieved liberation from the self." Albert Einstein
LOL Einstein was very much a superficial individual who though that stuff like psychology was nonsense..like so much folks in science...
@Rashad superficial=superficial when you do not care about what is within words are just words without any meaning..Einstein is a good example of that..
Carl Jung is a blessing to my life, he made me start putting up the pieces of the puzzles which had been lost and suppressed over time since my childhood, I was a forced to be ripen emotionally and mentally of the situations, like a young fruit picked from the tree out of its proper time. And the results are so full of emptiness I had never known myself since then for 30 years of my life. I was believed to become a nice guy, but really I am a lost guy.
That's a good part on your self-realization.
It is a painful process, unfortunately, but absolutely liberating. It also has a lot to do with the relationships we sustain with our close relatives. Despite being painful, the individuation process also liberates us from misunderstandings or resentments we could carry within ourselves. Thank you for the video!
I had a near death experience when I was 21. That’s actually what started me on this journey. I do a lot of shadow work and yeah, this shit really isn’t easy but it’s so worth it. Embracing and living with your shadow side does do wonders.
Instructions unclear. Became gay Hitler.
Yeah bro..walking the walk ❤️
But how do you do it
Ben Dodsworth look up and read about shadow work. It’s basically the “spiritual” version of what Jung talks about.
Kevin Crater Look up and read about shadow work. It’s one of the fastest ways but also the most difficult.
You took a topic I already know about and explained it in ways that taught me more than I knew in such a short time. Thank you
It's fascinating. You may like the Drukama mystic tradition it digs into it all with actual practices
@@kittywampusdrums4963 spam
That other half of ourselves is a by product of suppressed emotions, triggers, childhood trauma, relationship rejection, cause and effect, the system's manipulation...to keep us trapped in the shadow. I've lived in it. I've healed through it. Becoming whole is remaining in the light, living a balanced life that adheres to the universal laws. Being morally true to yourself and honest with others at all times. But most of all loving and accepting yourself daily the way God loves and accepts you.
“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.”
“There's no coming to consciousness without pain.”
“Like plants, so men also grow, some in the light, others in the shadows. There are many who need the shadows and not the light.”
“Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.”
“To be "normal" is a splendid ideal for the unsuccessful.”
“If the path before you is clear, you’re probably on someone else’s.”
“Where your fear is, there is your task.”
-Carl Jung
Loves your videos man. I really like the stoics, buddhist and taoist videos. Keep the good work!
Indeed, there is not one topic on this channel that isn't worth looking in to and he explains them really well
@@ouroboros9218 Exactly, one can feel that he puts an effort in making a complexe but interesting theme understandable for everyone, at least I see it that way
Out of all the related channels, even the ones working with a high budget, this one has quickly become my favorite and go to. He has a way of breaking down the topics and philosophies in easy to understand and digestible ways. Love the work and inspiration, keep em coming!
Thank you for the compliment, Ricardo :)
@@ouroboros9218 thank you Hash :)
Lower self, higher self, as above so below, the tree of life. The body.
I love your videos, thank you for making them.
I feel like I have to opposite issue of integrating my femininity with our masculine selves, my father was not a very good role model for myself and my siblings, and as a result I didn't fully develop my own healthy masculinity and control of my aggression. Looking back I think that I never properly manifested a healthy control and understanding of my aggression because I did not want to become and reflect what I saw in my dad, which was his own unstable aggression. The result was I never stood up myself, or rather I never learned how because I was afraid of expressing aggression. Even as a now 30 year old, I have issues with, even small, interpersonal conflict and intimidation. That's where my work lies. I have no hangups going to a yoga class, expressing my emotions, even dancing; it's the classical "male" actions I have trouble with
Yeah this too i've thought of myself. My dad displayed some aggression and i believed i was nice, but the aggression was there in my shadow and has been coming out in the last several years. Ive smashed 2 tvs, 4 guitars, a laptop, 2 computers, and some other things i dont remember. Permanent damage to my index finger joint from hitting things. 90% of the instances happened when i was drunk.
Edit; oh yeah,i stomped a door to the ground like the kool aid man, jerked a glass shower door so it broke in my hands cutting me, bleeding all over cuz the alcohol thinned blood. Pretty disturbing behaviour
Carl Jung knows how to highlight the duality mentioned in the Dao in the psyche of the mind so well that he's a literal treasure trove of spiritual insight despite his approach being more on the physical side of our understanding.
Great Series Brother, really am loving your videos.
With love,
Een vermaakte Nederlander :D
Dat accent valt toch wel op hè hahaha
Yes he does..what buffles me is how can someone be so smart..what kind of stuff did he study and for how long its out of this world
@@gertismangkas5006 Jung wrote many forward for translated eastern books on Taoism, Tibet Buddhism, and other mystical writing that Western scholars are unaware of his association with.
It's crazy how much this is reflecting my own thoughts as to how people work. I think about it a lot. It's kinda fascinating how this stuff just clicks when you understand it. Kinda like its common sense, which i suppose it would be.
That last hurdle for me is bumping into myself... I see this being a cause of reincarnation, as self constantly sidesteps to another door to avoid a single infinity. I felt love for the first time when I accepted that loneliness, something told/reminded me it was there.. and to spread that feeling of being cared for seems to be my biggest challenge yet.
Great job Einzelgänger, i hope everyone here can understand in some way this concepts and be aware of it (at least try to experience it). In my case, it took many years go out of my majority unconscious state and the shadow was a determinant part of the process. Everyone has to know that we (the seekers) are in all parts of the planet looking for answers, my advice, just observe, all the answers aren't in a abstract way, many are hidden in the direct experience of life.

Thank you for this video. I had requested for a shadow integration video in the comment of an older video and here you just released the entire individuation process. You are really creating some amazing content and you deserve all the respect, der Bruder.
I cannot recall how I found your channel but I'm really glad that I did. Listened to most of your videos during the quarantine and they helped me getting to know myself better. I was familiar with Buddhism and Taoism and still your videos about these topics told me sth I didn't know before. Thank you very much. I really appreciate the effort you put into your videos. Keep it up.
I think humility is the key in this individuation process.
Thank You for making this videos for free!! I learned a lot from this channel btw.
I'm going to save this for tomorrow . Your stuff is amazing to listen to first thing in the morning
Breakfast food and dark haired women stop procrastinating!
I just came across your channel and i'm already a fan! This is explained beautifully! I must say i like very much the neutral tone on your voice. It makes it easier (for me) to not lose track and i can see you have genuine interest in the topics you're approaching. Great job!
I've just discovered this channel and love it. Thanks for your hard work.
A truly inspiring breakdown of Carl Jung's exceptional concept of the human temperament. Thank you so much!
The quality of work is astounding! Thanks for sharing the knowledge!
Your videos are amazing they have gotten better every time
Carl Jung has made me meet Myself 💙
how so? :)
I am discovering and learning about Jung. Thanks so much for your work!
This is such an inspiring film. You absolutely convey complex ideas in such a succinct and professional way. Congratulations.
What a wonderful recording - and the perfect voice for the message - thank you so much.
Thank you, sir!
Thank you for this wonderful summary. Just started diving into Jung and individuation, and your research helps a lot.
Much needed video. I said once I'll say it again this channel is pure gold and deserve million of subs. I went through worst breakup few months ago felt depressed felt suicidal really needed something to get out of the illusion of suffering and then suddenly Einzelganger popped up in TH-cam recommendations and since then life changed on a serious note. This is the only channel which introduced me to stoicism and changed my perspective of life completely. Just keep up the good work brother. And literally you have saved my life. I'm living much happier life now all thanks to you. ❤
Same here. Still going through the pangs , and trying to get over. These videos make the burden lighter
@@extra2ab I feel you buddy, I realized getting over wasn't much difficult. Just needed the little change in perspective of viewing the event and detaching myself from the person and situation. Check out Einzelganger's video on letting go of resentment it'll help a lot. Rest just give yourself some time you'll eventually heal. More power to you buddy. ❤
It would be great to see more on each of the topics laid out in this video. You have a such a great style of explaining complex subjects and it would be helpful to hear your take on them. Thank you for your videos.
I absolutely love your videos. Thank you for enlightening and inspiring my life. It’s been truly impactful 💛🌟☺️
this is amazing all makes a crazy amount of sense
THANK YOU
Thank you
M very much thankful as well for the subtle video images as they are not distracting,
Clear, concise ,informative.The presentation suits my limited attention span. Also helps me to keep my shadow close. ( and get my work done). Thanks.
Thank you very much for to have made a video about this topic!
Jordan Peterson has brought Carl Jung's wisdom to the modern layman's attention.
Terence McKenna and Alan Watts talked about Jung in the 60's with better approaches and accuracy than Jordan Peterson ever did. Peterson possesses the cold bitterness of Freud in comparison with Jung.
Coyote what’s wrong with Jordan’s dissemination of Jungs work? Genuinely curious. He really seems to have made it much more popular at least. I’ve never heard of him prior
Coyote thanks for the response! I know you said you don’t like him (I didn’t at first either) but I started watching multiple and full lectures of his and slowly became a fan. I consider myself an atheist/agnostic but I recently watched his 17 video long TH-cam serious called the “Psychological significance of the biblical stories” and was absolutely blown away. They’re lengthy but it gives him time to fully explain his thoughts. So along with the paternal and traditionalistic traits he thinks we should have, he speaks highly or at least equally of how humans need people, especially the young to push beyond the tradition or else humans wouldn’t progress. Too much tradition and theirs tyranny. Too much progress and there’s chaos. It’s incredible mental stimulation at the very least. You’d think the people in attendance would all be regions but it’s filled with “non believers” and people who lean on science, philosophy and intellect more than religion spirituality. Jordan finds a great middle ground for metaphysics and reductionism, in my opinion anyways.
theres nothing wrong with Peterson's interpretation of Carl Jung. Why? because Peterson doesn't wholly accept and live by ideologies. He has great reverence for Jung and his ideas, but he only adopts the ideas that make the most sense to him. He wouldn't consider himself a "Jungian" nor a "Freudian" or any other label. He synthesizes the works of great people with his own experiences and comes up with his own unique interpretation of the psyche. He's inspired by the works of Jung, Freud and Nietzsche for sure. But he does his own thinking. I think there's a lot of courage in doing that because it's easy to read Jung and automatically adopt his ideas and think you're smart. Jordan takes inspiration, but he owns his ideas.
@@ubbdaubermensch1528 I think your fundamental agreement with him comes from his background in clinical psychology. He specifically worked as a psychometrist and clinician. His work consisted of taking a large-scale problem from clients like "I want to stop playing video games and have more of a social life" and breaking them down into extremely hard, real, tangible rules to live by like: limit your video game use to x hours a week and go out x amount of times.
Clinical psych is ridiculously practical. When you're solving a real world behavioural problem there's no room for abstract thinking. So when you hear him give advice in lectures, they have a strong philosophical background but he's used to breaking it down to practical behavioural advice. This is often to situate an individual in better accordance with society at large. That's probably why his message seems impersonal to you. Joseph Campbell doesn't have as specific a target audience as Peterson does, it's mostly people interested in myths which is a broad population. This is why he can send abstract messages that apply to all like "follow your bliss" But Peterson's advice is derived from years of working with people who are desperate for help and need low-level, practical behavioural advice.
There's still a lot of abstract ideas to be unpackaged in his lectures. I recommend you check out his biblical lectures if you're into the philosophical side more than life advice. I'm also a big fan of Campbell's work. Love that guy and his Hero analysis.
I think you would like the clip of Jordan breaking down the "rescue your father from the dead whale" archetype on Joe Rogan's podcast. It's only 7 minutes I believe
I love your videos. I just want to let you, know you do a great job at making these videos and their much needed. They are very centering and calming. And, have helped me in so many ways. I just want to say, thank you so much.
Very well done. Thank you for taking the time to do it. 🙏
Thanks Chris!
My man, this videos are great. You are helping a lot of people to wake up from a very scary nightmare
this was a GREAT one. thank you.
Self realisation and individuality are what all human can spend a life with to discover and it will never become boring. ❤️
Thank you for this... keep up the great work 👍
just started my 6th book by Jung, great stuff and when I have read them all I will read them again maybe even twice, fantastic material it is
John C3333 which would you say were the finer reads?
@@piotrwasiewicz8871 Being honest I could not say, they have all had equal worth to me. I would have to add though there is treasure in all of them, even if the language at times is old, unfamiliar, not a language I speak etc. Psychology and alchemy was most interesting and I did read twice and very probably will read a third time. Just finished symbols, and two essays.
Two essays was very interesting and useful as a light read.
These texts have been available for a very long time and I would say that its a shame that a great many more 15 to 20 something's don't read them as could, with just a touch of tenacity they are a gold mine.
Nicely done and good work, sir.
Whole-ness = the quality of that which is, that is ever greater than the sum of it's constituents.
Thank you, once again for this insightful video.
Very interesting video. I especially gravitate towards the idea of animus and anima. Adopting classically feminine traits into yourself as a form of integration. Also accepting your shadow is something I've thought about a lot. Super interesting stuff. Thanks for the video 👌
So much relevant information, in fact quite a lot for one video. I can not wait to dive in Jung's work.
love your videos, they really help!
thank you..carl Jung thoughts seems so hard at first but then you get used to know all the explanation of the self you did good job to explain it🤞🤞 self exploreing is the most valuable experiment one can do for self and the sad thing is the last part of the video you may grave and not reach to all parts of yourself.
Exceedingly grateful for the Vietnamese subtitles! And for the content as well
Great video as always Einzel. Just one thing though, if you could put your transcripts in the description that would be great.
Very good. I've been watching your videos. Thanks for what you're doing. Namste
I notice the world asking me what I want more often. It sees more in me, in terms of energy, than it saw before.
I feel the world encompassing me and embracing me in a way satisfying.
I not only have the pleasures of good times before, there is a unique new 'awakened' ability to vivify them.
I see the open beautiful skies,
I see the trees unobstructed and rivers flowing clean, I see signs that remind us of nature's sanctity and to not exploit the energy.
My way of dealing with the new choice and freedom is not extremely rigid and forceful, I am still lax, however it's like a turtle emerging, I do begin to see myself happier, and able to
Enjoy unique combinations and situations that I would create with my individual personality or harmonize with especially as the Individual, without necessarily being part of the public space.
Its saying this to me privately, in the area of personal life, and its using a language of the soul that is not mundane at all, I am in touch with my own 'will' aspect, in a healthy and persistent yet not rigid way, the universe; a consistency for success even without rigidity.
7:00 love the aesthetic shots!
Really good video, thank you, well done!
Males and females spring from the mysterious force that governs nature...
Namely: The masculine and feminine...
Why separate the two in yourself, if you can incorporate and use both?
They are in fact a whole.
Well said. Eve was made from Adam.
Masculinity and femininity are just constructs and are a false dichotomy. But conventionally men tend to suppress what they consider feminine, and women tend to suppress what they consider masculine. If you reject this dichotomy, then so will your shadow.
@@aaronbegon2092 think about it like the dark swirl and the light swirl of the Yin Yang symbol.
Excellent once again! Just what I needed ⚫️💜💙💕🧡⚪️
Thank you for the video! 😊 👍
Thank you, i found this video compelling
Thanks for the video. I think it is important to recognize that we are all good and bad which allows us to understand and forgive others. I've witnessed many people who only view things through a singular lens thinking they are 100% right, however, a change of perspectives is necessary for compassion.
Anyone else going through this process? I have found humor to be one if the greatest helpers though the darker times.
Yes especially after finding myself after years od substance abuse
great explanation mate, subscribed
I love the way he says "individuation"
Welcome back!
Great work.. keep it going
Nice explanation! I’m subscribing
Salvation lies in the individual.
In individuals
Superbly explain!
Very well thought out ..
@Einzelgänger the creativity you have for presenting ideas is really amazing dude.
Btw "Humility is the solid foundation of all Virtues" - Confucius.
I think explaining this quote and defining what true humility is, is going to be a good topic for your next video since we talk a lot about virtues in your past videos. I think its time to talk about the foundation of all virtues which is humility. I also think that humility is often misunderstood 😊
I second this!
Hey! Great video. Loved the visuals and overview of Jung's ideas. A, hopefully productive, criticism is that you didn't speak enough on the process of individuation and techniques one may go about becoming conscious of their unconscious. I believe Jung would say examples are: Introspection, Active Imagination, and analyzing your dreams. Thanks for your vids Einzelgänger
!
Thanks, Thinker, and you criticism is on point. Sounds like a great idea for a follow-up.
Great idea, hoping and looking forward to that video.
Excellent channel.
Btw well made critique 🤗
Our dark side is our unactualized creative potential, our hidden genius.
Amazing video!!!
Excellent work 😊😊🙏🙏
Wow truly incredible video
This was a really good video
this was literally a godsend gift
Thanks. Very helpful
8:40 that shot is absolutely astonishing!
May I somehow get a clean version of it for my desktop background?
Thank You !!! Amazing!!
Great video!
Great video 👍🏻
thanks, wonderful content. Simple and to the point. I try to make videos like this but I just ramble on and on :)
Hey, thanks. Just write it out.. take your time. If I didn't script my videos, I'd ramble too. ;)
@ some of my videos I do scripts, but most of the time I like talking off the top of my head. I've been making TH-cam videos for about nine years and hardly have many subscribers LOL. (You can tell by my channel as I talk about similar ideas) it's because I talk about too many different subjects, and I can't seem to stick to one idea or area of expertise. I like the freestyle thought process, but it doesn't pay very well. I'm not very organized in my thinking when it comes to making videos that are will edited
Thanks for your response
This was interesting thank you.
amazing content
*I learned there's some energy work to this aspect also, check out what Drukama tradition says about all this. It's a fascinating science. Be well all!*
1-ego who we are
2-persona mask we wear 3-shadow undesireable characterestic we have 4-anima&animus in every male there s a female and in every female there s a male
---indivuation proces is integration of unconscious elements of the psyche into the wholeness of the personality
we are like tree seeds just give them the right enviroment and they grow with time to a tree. But lets be honest a lot of us live in poverty and people around us are evil, the enviroment needs to be fixed.
True but don't let that affect you how you act and become eventually, be aware of whenever your environment is controlling your behavior and not the other way around.
Be the change you want to see
@The Rockall Times those that grow up in palaces are mostly to blame for ghettoes
"If you want to fix the world, start for yourself"
This is so good
Any one interested in further reading on this topic and ways to implement individuation, I would recommend Ken Wilber's "No Boundary".
thank you
Jung is endlessly relevant and enlightening.
The Persona or personality is based in our unconscious and provides the initial answer to the important question ‘Who am I?’ It is made of many different parts like Parent and Inner Child parts, but is not our Self or divine Self.
Thank you 🙏🏻
Safety and blessings to you all in your process.
Darkstar 6589 The very same, Friend. Blessings to all who pass this also.
