    When I was like 10 or 11 years old I thought I had found the meaning of life. It was right before I had to go to bed and I really wanted to tell someone, but when I was about to tell it to my dad, he just said: “You can tell me tomorrow”. Then, instead of writing it down or something, I just went to sleep and thought that I would remember it the next day. But when I woke up, I couldn’t and since then, whenever I remember this moment, I for some reason can never remember what I thought back then that the meaning of life was.

      Couldn't agree with you more! To me the top three stupidest questions often asked, "Why am I here" "What's the purpose of life" and "Where do I go when I die" are a waste of time to contemplate because all three of those questions are UNANSWERABLE!! And no matter how many "Shadow selves" we can construct, or how many imaginary substrates of consciousnesses we invent they won't satisfy the vast Universe of complexity of an all too short life to solve those questions. So I took the late comedian Bill Hicks's wisdom that life is like a Ride, so just enjoy it while it lasts!!

    As we all have, I’ve struggled with thoughts of death and meaninglessness for years. One recurring compulsive thought was “I have no reason to live.” What a wise dark thought. I resisted initially, but then started to counter the thought with this: “There is a reason to be alive in every moment.” The reasoning: Each breath, step, and slumber seems insignificant but is an essential stepping stone for me to impact the world and others in those rare moments where the meaning is blatantly apparent. Treat every moment, task, job, and career as if you were serving the universe. Yes, even the Janitors and the Ship fanfic authors. Without the negative experiences in our lives, achieving our needs wouldn’t be as meaningful. Imagine a perfect world but everything felt meaningless because it’d be unearned. If we ever achieve an end to suffering for all beings, it will be the sweetest nectar as it will be earned, sacrificed for; cherished truthfully and honestly.
    The earth you live on loves you and I hope you do too.

      The unconscious doesn't seem to be there, unless you know it's there. (Imagine, for example, how you likely won't feel the sensations on the top of your head when you're thinking of something else)
      Therefore, the first step is to investigate what you don't know about yourself. A good start is usually meditation (vipassana is a good method for this).
      Otherwise, focus on examining yourself when you feel strong emotions, recursive thought patterns and behaviours. Where do they come from? If it seems to be of external, is it really other people or is it the unconscious??

    From the last two years I’ve been doing something similar to this because when i was 16 I understood if I really need to find meaning of life i first need to understand myself and the only thing I understood at that time was “Our perception creates our reality” and from that day all my days would be spent in reading different kind of philosophies and findings in psychology and neuroscience(not claiming that i used to study it academically) but my main goal was to find different ideas and to try it out with my life. I remember everyday i used to look at the world differently and my night will end with failure of that perspective. More i became experienced in doing this I understood more about myself like why i react to things the way i do. What situations led me to believe these things, etc. Now that i am 18 last week I really felt that oneness. I was able to look at the world more clearly. I had control over my thought process I wasn’t judging anything when i was seeing it because I already knew what pathways my mind is gonna go after seeing that thing so i kinda stopped it. This comment is a very short explanation of my experiments and experience it is full of discoveries about my brain and my shadow self. Again in the end i am not hyping this up for social recognition but because i wanted to share this with people who i kind of relate with because whenever i try to tell anything regarding this to my friends or family they either don’t understand it or say i should do something else. All i want to do is explore my curiosities about my mind and the universe but the environment i am in tells me to confirm to society otherwise I’ll just become a failure.

    Viktor Frankl. An extrordinary example of an individual who had everything taken away from him. And he provided us with two books. Man's Search For Meaning and Yes To Life - In Spite Of Everything (the phrase coming from a work camp song they used to sing to keep workers motivated). If you ever need an answer, look no further than even just one of these books if you wish to look to a modern figure who only died in the 90s.
    Do not rely just on one source though. Many others have the answer too no matter the time or the age. You just need to find them and see the connections as our dear Jung did too. The ideas are indeed consistent with our nature. Archetypal.

    "As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light of meaning in the darkness of mere being.
    Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart ... Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens.
    The present day shows with appalling clarity how little able people are to let the other man’s argument count, although this capacity is a fundamental and indispensable condition for any human community. Everyone who proposes to come to terms with himself must reckon with this basic problem. For, to the degree that he does not admit the validity of the other person, he denies the “other” within himself the right to exist --- and vice versa. The capacity for inner dialogue is a touchstone for outer objectivity.
    An inflated consciousness is always egocentric and conscious of nothing but its own existence. It is incapable of learning from the past, incapable of understanding contemporary events, and incapable of drawing right conclusions about the future. It is hypnotized by itself and therefore cannot be argued with. It inevitably dooms itself to calamities that must strike it dead."
    Everyone has in him something of the criminal, the genius, and the saint. We all feel that the opposite of our own highest principle must be purely destructive, deadly, and evil. We refuse to endow it with any positive life-force; hence we avoid and fear it. By not being aware of having a shadow, you declare a part of your personality to be non-existent. Then it enters the kingdom of the non-existent, which swells up and takes on enormous proportions…If you get rid of qualities you don’t like by denying them, you become more and more unaware of what you are, you declare yourself more and more non-existent, and your devils will grow fatter and fatter. There is, after all, no harsher bitterness than that of a person who is his own worst enemy.
    Until you allow the unconscious to become conscious, it will rise up to you as your life and you will call it your fate. Unfortunately there is no doubt about the fact that man is, as a whole, less good than he imagines himself or wants to be. Everyone carries a shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual's conscious life, the blacker and denser it is. There is, after all, no harsher bitterness than that of a person who is his own worst enemy.
    I have noticed that people usually have not much difficulty in picturing to themselves what is meant by the shadow, even if they would have preferred instead a bit of Latin or Greek jargon that sounds more “scientific.” But it costs them enormous difficulties to understand what the anima is. They accept her easily enough when she appears in novels or as a film star, but she is not understood at all when it comes to seeing the role she plays in their own lives, because she sums up everything that a man can never get the better of and never finishes coping with.
    Therefore it remains in a perpetual state of emotionality which must not be touched. The degree of unconsciousness one meets with in this connection is, to put it mildly, astounding. Hence it is practically impossible to get a man who is afraid of his own femininity to understand what is meant by the anima.
    For the sake of mental stability and even physiological health, the unconscious and the conscious must be integrally connected and thus move on parallel lines. If they are split apart or “dissociated,” psychological disturbance follows. For every manifest case of insanity there are, in my estimation, at least ten latent cases who seldom get to the point of breaking out openly but whose views and behavior, for all their appearance of normality, are influenced by unconsciously morbid and perverse factors.
    We want to have certainties and no doubts -- results and no experiments -- without even seeing that certainties can arise only through doubt and results only through experiment. The conflict between science and religion is in reality a misunderstanding of both.
    Moderns consider themselves wholly rational, unemotional, scientific, and atheistic. Where earlier humanity had realized its unconscious through religion, moderns dismiss both religion and the unconscious as prescientific delusions. Instead, moderns proudly identify themselves with their ego and thereby boast of their omnipotence: “nowadays most people identify themselves almost exclusively with their consciousness, and imagine that they are their ego.
    They thereby pit themselves - their ego - against their unconscious ... and doctrinairism are the disease of our time; they pretend to have all the answers. Where primitives identify themselves with the world itself, moderns identify themselves with the part of them that controls the world: the ego. Modern man can't see God because he doesn't look low enough.
    If our religion is based on salvation, our chief emotions will be fear and trembling. If our religion is based on wonder, our chief emotion will be gratitude. If ignorance alone, according to Gnostic orthodoxy, keeps humans tied to the material world, knowledge frees them from it. Because humans are ignorant, that knowledge must come from outside them. Because the powers of the material world are ignorant, too, that knowledge must come from beyond them as well: it can come only from the godhead. The dependence of humanity on the godhead matches the dependence of the ego on the unconscious to reveal itself
    The conflict between science and religion is in reality a misunderstanding of both. Scientific materialism has merely introduced a new hypostasis, and that is an intellectual sin. It has given another name to the supreme principle of reality and has assumed that this created a new thing and destroyed and old thing. Whether you call the principle of existence "God," "matter," "energy," or anything else you like, you have created nothing; you have simply changed a symbol. The materialist is a metaphysician malgré lui.
    The critical philosophy of science became as it were negatively metaphysical -- in other words, materialistic--on the basis of an error of judgement; matter was assumed to be a tangible and recognizable reality. Yet this is a thoroughly metaphysical concept hypostatized by uncritical minds. Matter is an hypothesis. When you say "matter," you are really creating a symbol for something unknown, which may just as well be "spirit" or anything else; it may even be God.
    We must be able to let things happen in the psyche. For us, this becomes a real art... Consciousness is forever interfering, helping, correcting, and negating, never leaving the single growth of the psychic processes in peace. The primordial is the source or agent of everything else. Prior to its emanating anything, it is whole, self-sufficient, perfect. The godhead thus symbolizes the unconscious before the emergence of the ego out of it.

      Far…from being a material world, this is a psychic world, which allows us to make only indirect and hypothetical inferences about the real nature of matter… We are steeped in a world that was created by our own psyche. Man's unconscious... contains all the patterns of life and behavior inherited from his ancestors, so that every human child, prior to consciousness, is possessed of a potential system of adapted psychic functioning. We are steeped in a world that was created by our own psyche.
      I hold the view that the alchemist’s hope of conjuring out of matter the philosophical gold, or the panacea, or the wonderful stone, was only in part an illusion, an effect of projection; for the rest it corresponded to certain psychic facts that are of great importance in the psychology of the unconscious. As is shown by the texts and their symbolism, the alchemist projected what I have called the process of individuation into the phenomena of chemical change.
      The real nature of matter was unknown to the alchemist: he knew it only in hints. In seeking to explore it he projected the unconscious into the darkness of matter in order to illuminate it. In order to explain the mystery of matter he projected yet another mystery - his own psychic background -into what was to be explained: Obscurum per obscurius, ignotum per ignotius! This procedure was not, of course, intentional; it was an involuntary occurrence.
      Nature is not matter only. She is also a spirit. I can only gaze with wonder and awe at the depths of and heights of our psychic nature. Its non-spatial universe conceals an untold abundance of images which have accumulated over millions of years of living development and become fixed in the organism....Beside this picture I would like to place the spectacle of the starry heavens at night, for the only equivalent of the universe within is the universe without; and just as I reach this world through the medium of the body, so I reach that world through the medium of the psyche.
      Not only does the psyche exist, but it is existence itself. It is an almost absurd prejudice to suppose that existence can only be physical...We might well say, on the contrary, that physical existence is a mere inference, since we know of matter only in so far as we perceive psychic images mediated by the senses.
      The real mystery does not behave mysteriously or secretively; it speaks a secret language, it adumbrates itself by a variety of images which all indicate its true nature. I am not speaking of a secret personally guarded by someone, with a content known to its possessor, but of a mystery, a matter or circumstance which is “secret,” i.e., known only through vague hints but essentially unknown.
      Recognition of the reality of evil necessarily relativizes the good, and the evil likewise, converting both into halves of a paradoxical whole. Civilized life today demands concentrated, directed conscious functioning, and this entails the risk of a considerable dissociation from the unconscious. The further we are able to remove ourselves from the unconscious through directed functioning, the more readily a powerful counter-position can build up in the unconscious, and when this breaks out it may have disagreeable consequences.
      Our age has shifted all emphasis to the here and now, and thus brought about a daemonization of man and his world. The phenomenon of dictators and all the misery they have wrought springs from the fact that man has been robbed of transcendence by the shortsightedness of the super-intellectuals. Like them, he has fallen a victim to unconsciousness. But man’s task is the exact opposite: to become conscious of the contents that press upward from the unconscious. Neither should he persist in his unconsciousness, nor remain identical with the unconscious elements of his being, thus evading his destiny, which is to create more and more consciousness. As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being. It may even be assumed that just as the unconscious affects us, so the increase in our consciousness affects the unconscious.
      Naturally, society has an indisputable right to protect itself against arrant subjectivisms, but, in so far as society is itself composed of de-individualized human beings, it is completely at the mercy of ruthless individualists. Let it band together into groups and organizations as much as it likes - it is just this banding together and the resultant extinction of the individual personality that makes it succumb so readily to a dictator.
      A million zeros joined together do not, unfortunately, add up to one. Ultimately everything depends on the quality of the individual, but our fatally short-sighted age thinks only in terms of large numbers and mass organizations, though one would think that the world had seen more than enough of what a well-disciplined mob can do in the hand of a single madman. Unfortunately, this realization does not seem to have penetrated very far - and our blindness is extremely dangerous. People go on blithely organizing and believing in the remedy of mass action, without the least consciousness of the fact that the most powerful organizations can be maintained only by the greatest ruthlessness of their leaders and the cheapest of slogans.
      Curiously enough, the Churches too want to avail themselves of mass action in order to cast out the devil with Beelzebub - the very Churches whose care is the salvation of the individual soul. They too do not appear to have heard anything of the elementary axiom of mass psychology, that the individual becomes morally and spiritually inferior in the mass, and for this reason they do not burden themselves overmuch with their real task of helping the individual to achieve a metanoia, or rebirth of the spirit - deo concedente.
      It is, unfortunately, only too clear that if the individual is not truly regenerated in spirit, society cannot be either, for society is the sum total of individuals in need of redemption. I can therefore see it only as a delusion when the Churches try - as they apparently do - to rope the individual into a social organization and reduce him to a condition of diminished responsibility, instead of raising him out of the torpid, mindless mass and making clear to him that he is the one important factor and that the salvation of the world consists in the salvation of the individual soul.
      A sense of a wider meaning to one’s existence is what raises a man beyond mere getting and spending. If he lacks this sense, he is lost and miserable.
      Historically, it is chiefly in times of physical, political, economic and spiritual distress that men’s eyes turn with anxious hope to the future, and when anticipations, utopias and apocalyptic visions multiply. Man in the mass sinks unconsciously to an inferior moral and intellectual level, to that level which is always there, below the threshold of consciousness, ready to break forth as soon as it is activated by the formation of a mass.
      ...
      Since nobody is capable of recognizing just where and how much he himself is possessed and unconscious, he simply projects his own condition upon his neighbor, and thus it becomes a sacred duty to have the biggest guns and the most poisonous gas. The worst of it is that he is quite right. All one’s neighbors are in the grip of some uncontrolled and uncontrollable fear, just like oneself.
      The biggest guns and the heaviest industry with its relatively high living standard are not enough to check the psychic infection spread by religious fanaticism.
      The mass State has no intention of promoting mutual understanding and the relationship of man to man; it strives, rather, for atomization, for the psychic isolation of the individual. The more unrelated individuals are, the more consolidated the State becomes, and vice versa.
      Therefore the individual who wishes to have an answer to the problem of evil, as it is posed today, has need, first and foremost, of self-knowledge, that is, the utmost possible knowledge of his own wholeness. He must know relentless ly how much good he can do, and what crimes he is capable of, and must beware of regarding the one as real and the other as llusion. Both are elements within his nature, and both are bound to come to light in him, should he wish-as he ought-to live without self-deception or self-delusion.
      There is only one way and that is your way. There is only one salvation and that is your salvation...What is to come will be created in you and from you. Hence look into yourself. Do not compare. Do not measure. No other way is like yours...You must fulfill the way that is in you.
      In fact, whenever a human being genuinely turns to the inner world and tries to know himself --- not by ruminating about his subjective thoughts and feelings, but by following the expressions of his own objective nature such as dreams and genuine fantasies --- then sooner or later the Self emerges. The ego will then find an inner power that contains all the possibilities of renewal.
      Only the wounded physician heals... and then only to the extent he has healed himself. The future of mankind depends very much upon the recognition of the shadow. Shadow work is the path of the heart warrior. Never lose the hope that work done with love will lead to a good end.”
      Carl Gustav Jung

    We find the meaning of life as we elevate our consciousness. We must increase our awareness for life to become enjoyable. But there's a catch-we must be strong, for spiritual work is tough and sometimes scary. We have so much darkness in our subconscious mind that we repressed in early childhood due to family trauma. The darkness is intergenerational-it comes from our ancestors.

    This reminds me of resolving pain and discomfort within the body. By noticing it and moving gently in and around it, through it, it begins to resolve, and sometimes things click into place, and we become more aware of the structure weaknesses and alignment, by listening softening and moving gently within and around. A discovery process.

    Having a paper (with all our problems) stuck on the wall, with checkboxes, can be really useful. Personally, I have it above my PC in my room, and it’s a constant reminder of our issues. It prevents us from ignoring them by playing games or falling into other distractions. It can really help to get things done and not forget them in our routine.

    "Seeking existence" looking for one's inner answers. I journal, keep a notebook to capture (write down) my thoughts for later review and use a thesaurus to improve my meanings precision. I also use etymonline to investigate and disambiguate meanings roots and subliminal psychology. In the event I don't have my notebook I write send and reply between two personal email accounts. It's an iterative and recursive process that gets me incrementally closer to the truth and meaning of myself. The entry inscription above the Delphic temple was "Know Thyself". Check out the meaning of the Golden Rule and the mathema of the Golden Ratio.

    Stumbling upon Jung's psychology when I was 14 felt like a miracle since it came to me in a time where I felt lost and truly unhappy for the first time. Ever since I learned about the importance of introspection and facing the shadow, I haven't once felt lost and everything in my life feels meaningful. Being 19 now, I felt extremely lucky to have felt fulfilled enough in my own existence and having the ability to constantly reflect on it and try to search for what fulfillment really is, has been in itself what makes my life have purpose. I know that teaching a concept can only do so much, but Jung is probably the single most important reason as to why my life went in the direction it did and because of him I've gone on my own pursuits of creating stuff that is inspired from his view points. It makes me really glad to see videos like these and I hope he can continue being such a positive influence in people's lives.
