So agree with you. Anxiety and depression would seem to be completely normal, natural and appropriate reactions to the disconnected, toxic consumer and material culture we find ourselves in. Medicating just so we can fit back into the fray just seems to perpetuate the collective disruption ultimately.
James Hillman is good. Jung helped me start my journey. My parents put me in a mental hospital when I was 16 because I skipped school, experimented with drugs, and told them I couldn't see a future for myself in this world. I looked at their life and couldn't see myself living anything like it, and also saw no other options. So I had to go through via negativa--the way through the darkness. Almost 40 years later--since they sent me away--I am here, and awake, and watching what unfolds with great interest. Much love to all who journey. And much compassion to those who refuse the call.
Great presentation, I’ve been aware of this collective emptiness for years and have withdrawn from things, places and people I once sought out. I’ve moved closer to nature and have a closer relationship with my sense of spirituality, cosmic consciousness. I believe we are on the cusp of a great transformation. Your discussion confirms what I have felt for so long. Thank you.
Here’s words from TMcK that I return to often: ‘I am the most optimistic person you have ever met. I am absolutely convinced there is nothing wrong, and that nothing can go wrong, and that nothing will go wrong . . . and if something needs to be done, you will find yourself doing it’. What the Greeks called ‘kairos’ TMcK likened to our current state being ‘the birth canal’: we are undergoing delivery into a new world, a new way of being, but it’s painful because the collective resistance, or malaise, has grown so strong. Will we make it? And if so, when? I’m with Terence, and am forever optimistic. It is a great, if not the greatest, time to be alive. Breathe deep, and enjoy every moment 🙏🏻❤✨
When tempests roar, and darkness falls, In every trial, courage recalls, Through winds of change and raging strife, I'll find my strength, and thrive in life A thread of empathy we weave, That binds our hearts, makes us believe, In shared joys and shared sorrows, Love's web of compassion, it borrows Seek not the fleeting, shallow gain, But delve into the depths of the soul's terrain, Find purpose's light, burn bright and clear, In serving others, true fulfillment near Within my heart, a mirror lies, Reflecting truths, no veil denies, To know myself, with honesty near, Glimpse the depths, dispel all fear
Yeah we’ve got a truth that humans are breeding psychopathy/narcissism. These humans lack a conscience and empathy which causes a lack of justice and truth. They can’t feel inside so they seek it materially, or from substances and people addictions and for power and control. They are selfish and they have a hard time thinking or caring about the collective. These types of people are in leadership positions. Their darkness affects us. This is a truth. Not too many humans know about this. Humans would need to separate themselves off from this infection. They would need to create their own cities where hurtful humans can be exiled out and none can be let in like repeat offenders are let back out into society. This is the darkness that’s covering our earth. We’re supposed to be good stewards of the earth. We are not. I once watched a documentary on ants. A fungus infected the colony. They had the sense to get rid of it, a mere insect, but we don’t and we’re more intelligent.
My comfort and escape from depression comes from my love for and connection with our Earth, a living Being. She is our Second Mother who wishes connection with us. This two-way connection takes place through the heart, not the head.
Depression is the closest your soul can create for you so you can awaken . Depression is the suppression of your true expression , of your soul . This is amazing presentation .
Hi Michael I came across your channel a little while ago and have really been enjoying the content and listening to your own experiences regarding plant medicines. I couldn't agree more regarding the content on this episode. We are most surely in an overtly materialistic phase of our evolution. I have never felt drawn to this way of being so it is very reassuring to hear your perspective. I am an aesthete, always living on the edge, one foot in this world and the other in the liminal world of the imagination. Art is one of the great bulwarks against the endless tide of worldly enticements and the deep rabbit holes they can take you down maybe never to return. Keep up the great work, this world is so in need of channels like this, sincere genuine authentic seeking.
Thank you . I needed this. As an Artist spinning in a new ecosystem of lost, your reminder of the Greats ( Hillman and Jung), prompting the reminder of Joseph Cambell, I feel a much needed nourishment from your presentation
Cleanliness of food, purity of thoughts, purity of heart, purity of intentions, purity of faith, purity of conscience, purity of religion. These are the 7 postulates for becimimg a higher level consciousness beeings ❤
I wrote a song through so much pain, the song itself describes my dark night of the soul and I still can't get out because I haven't been able to share it due to how deep in a depression I am currently... Soon the whole world will know my pain, my hopes and how deep I feel...
In Cherokee culture we would ask “Did you stop singing or dancing?” And actually it’s been proven that singing induces your endocannibinoid system. I think that’s why religions use singing as worship, there’s a very real magic to music. Bees give off a healing C note and beekeepers are super healthy because of it.
What a masterpiece, I hope everyone takes extra caution in assimilating this essential wisdom, it’s just what the doctor should have prescribed! You are the archetype of a true ideological warrior😎🙏 and this is one very important idea. If there is a true purpose for the great trip of life, its gotta be to experience beauty through the medium of cognition. Life is the manifestation of a beautiful story and when beauty is absent, when ennui has a hold on us, we are not truly alive. I think our aim is to maximise beauty. If you don’t see a purpose in attaining success, you need a greater conception of success and the faith provided through idealism greatly facilitates our ability to plan the lives we should live, so i prescribe psychedelics🤯 “If your not the hero of your own novel, then what kind of novel is it?” ~Terrence McKenna
in my early twenties i discovered Terrance and through him found jung, they were my initiators into the sacred and now i can say I am truly whole. Life is the world of competing ideas and if you do not grow you die- every heroic dose of mushrooms of the many i have taken and will continue to take until death.
I found this to be potentially one of the greatest 20 minute listens I’ve ever dedicated myself to. At least at the season of my life. Wow - what a home run. I invite anyone to give it a listen when you have time to really be present with it.
Intresting, the psychologist Jonathan Haidt talks about these stuff as Jung and Terence MCKenna, we need pourpose and belonging and to reach further than our ego or consumption of fame, money or power. We crave for something real, something worth of living for.
Aye thanks for making this one. I've been getting into conversations where I've been trying to relate this idea and I think this is way more accessible to the masses than a 90 minute interview. Big love for all you do
Thank you for this video. Through out my own spiritual journey (meaning get in contact with my higher self, I came to understand that we usually left this life without knowing how to use our nonconscious emotional information (collected from the many past life experiences). For example not being able to distinguish emotion that are just projections from our ego, from feelings that are based on reality. So we keep ourselves in suffering, not being able to use our full potential. For exm when we reconnect with our spirit or unconscious mind (that is a kind of AI, full of imagery our past history, ready available to us) so we can boost our intuition and decision making accuracy and speed up response times. 🙏
Follow your dreams not your fears. Fear keeps us from trying what we would rather do. Material success combined with ego trap us in jobs and lifestyles that we hate. We arn't very well parented or educated. We have fake understandings of what it means to be a human.
When Ken Keasy (Writer of “One Flew Over the Coo Koos Nest”) was working as a janitor in a mental hospital in the early 1960s he took some mescaline one night at work. The patients were seen from a different perspective that led to the evaluation of the whole psychiatric industrial complex and the suggestion that society itself was responsible for producing citizens with maladaptive patterns…The movie is great but for a truly deep dive read the book.
You touch on an idea with the parking lot etiquette. Perhaps more of us need to just stop going to the parking lot altogether. The parking lot can be a symbol of consumerism and materialism. Misbehave by breaking out of those patterns that are cultured into all of us.
Add Dr Victor Frankl's book "Man's search for meaning" on purpose. (Holocaust survivor). He gives " a way ", not just a why. He experienced his nature of life and survived due to it.
Neil Postman also had apprehension to technology advancing unchecked. He would question what problem did it solve and what problems it would create. There is also an impression on people from the technology. Which in turn shapes our world view.
This video is deeply nourishing to the Soul, thanks so much for making it! Being introvert seems to make one more attentive to the sighs of the Soul, and it helps to have the means and resources to get the time and space needed for healing. Keep up the good work! 🙏🏽😊
I don’t have depression but I have a bad case of anhedonia. It’s the loss of wonder and motivation from when I was a kid. Did ayahuasca and it helped a lot but still not quite where I need to be
There is an illusion that we are taught by society that we are here to be happy and that we have a purpose. That if people realize that we are not here to be happy or for a purpose there would be a whole lot less misery in this world.
Discovered your channel looking for Jung-related content, stayed for the excellent video on shadow work. Just yesterday i first heard about McKenna and thought i'd love to learn more about him... and today you post a video about him AND Jung - what are the odds, huh? Thanks ❤
This is great ! I've stopped mowing our two acres . What will the neighbors say !? I am stunned at what a powerful practice this is for my soul . Deepening the understanding that I am part of this wild tangle , greeting the unknown families of plants that emerge , eating some of them .... I can feel my soul finding its place in the world and my need for sanitized perfection driven by fear of criticism easing off . I highly recommend not mowing your lawn .
@@eekkkusuo826 as someone with a history of severe abuse , PTSD, eating disorder , insomnia and a deep rooted belief that I must earn the air that I breathe by conforming to societal norms .... it means I've just dumped the whole load I've been lugging around . I've been in deep rebellion about being a product or a brand instead of a creature of the generous , living earth . I recently had a beautiful dream that I found a little , round , underground house at the center of a forest . I went down into it and found that it was really a cave . As I walked deeper in I realized I was walking backward through time . I came upon an ancient woman who put her hand on my head and blessed me . I feel that the lawn practice comes out of that dream . I feel that we have created a culture of power , alienation and despair . I'm getting my sense of meaning and connection from making relationship with my immediate ecosystem. The young author Sophie Strand.and Stephen Harrod Buhner have deeply influenced me for.the last two years also Thank you for asking
@@blackthornsloe8049 The crystallization of this entire understanding came to me in my awareness that to everyone and everything around me I was a "useful tool." The second I stopped trying to earn my right to breath, my old life ended. Your dreams are very interesting. Thanks for sharing!
I luv Jung and McKenna they both had great confluence in my trepid journey. I would also consider RD Laing for his research into the effects of game theory on hyper sensitive people as an amplifier... It helped me to limit myself from those who were more on the less conducive side. It's fair to say we can attribute people in any given moment to support or resistance in the same way markets work. It seems the markets have strong correlation to society and to the psychology associated with markets. This has more recently been revealed when applying TLoD to the exchange of information and energy (light) regarding social dynamics ..entropy is being increased in efforts of the system, wether organic or artificial, to assimilate energy in the form of data from those freely wasting it. People can be stimulated through mainstream social media and news in the same way one would stoke the coals in a steam engine to get increased power. My humble advice to those experiencing a large degree of dissonance is... fill your mind with wonder and there will be no room for fear. Also regarding the subject of this video and it's just a random observation but it seems like homeless in the wilderness are gurus while the homeless in cities are misfits. For those with inquisitive minds check out the story of Robert Harrell aka The Fort Fisher Hermit
Best vid I' ve seen in a while, really resonates thanks for the encouragement, really am not on a par with the last few minutes though.. that tribal thing and zen boring stuff, money pff
Dude you would love the freestyle rapper Daylyt’s live streams where he talks about depression and anxiety. He’s one of my biggest inspirations and influences, and it’s really awesome to hear someone who’s the complete opposite of the tweed jacket armchair academic discuss these issues. I need to make a playlist on my channel of my fav vids if his for sure.
Please tell me there are not people that are mystified as to why they are feeling Anhedonia or have a feeling of hopelessness? Have you looked at the modern society lately? Everyday it seems to get worse. Things were not this Insane and off the rails 20 years back. Society has lost it's way ! anyone that went through the 80's and even the 90's understands what i am saying.
Sounds like you're describing the laws of human nature or what I see as a way of life. Pre-constitution. Religion and govt are bound together through alchemy which is a huge problem. Nice video
You were pointing the obvious and in a perfect world I would do those but drugs are illegal, i have zero real connections and I hate to be on earth that knows in theory but in practise people are evil
That is what I hate the most about this... having to have relationships, after what people have done me, after they left me in hell, alone... but now I depend on them to get better. It is so disgusting for me. I don't want to depend on them. There must be other way.
We are social animals, meaning we will inevitably suffer without companionship. I wish you healing, and might I add, companionship need not be human. Animals, nature, anything or anyone that you feel understands you can help. It's impossible not to find at least one thing... unless you stop looking altogether. What helps the most, I've found, is having a good relationship with yourself first. If you feel defined by others in any way, finding who you are outside of that is the first step.
Interesting question. I wouldn’t say I’ve come to any conclusions on something as speculative and enormous as that. However, since we wield consciousness (or it wields us) on, arguably, the most advanced level on the planet, I’d say it logically follows that we are something consciousness is doing or is at least involved with.
What is the Name of the Video You Posted that explains "How to Work With Your Shadow"? I looked though all of the video's on your You Tube Channel and I watch the Video's of Carl Jung and The Shadow and None of them Explain "How To Work With Your Shadow" and yet you have Referred to the Video??? in several Other Video's But You Never Give the Title of the Video???
Over the course of humanity`s evolution, during certain cosmic events, divine dispensations have been given. In the distant past, it was more of a blanket effect for all. Other times, it has been selective. We are in the midst of one of those times. A divine dispensation has been given. We are also in the middle of a change from one epoch to another. The 5th to the 6th epoch. We are at the end of the 5th post Atlantean epoch. In 1879, the Michael impulse began. And what we have seen since is the darkness wallowing due to their demise. The Ahrimanic influence is strong during this time. Pulling humanity more towards a materialistic,ego driven reality. Back in earlier epochs, the Luciferic influence was predominant. That is why no one has heard of Ahriman. Only Lucifer. Luciferic influence will pull you toward the cosmos and spiriutal. But like anything, balance is the key. Ahriman has already incarnated on Earth. It is your phone and digital currency. There is not a God side of a coin with digital currency. Beware! What humanity is experiencing is a divine dispensation of the Christ impulse given to certain areas on Earth to certain individuals during our time of incarnation, to assist those on the path behind. Although, there is no one behind. The nudge you feel from your higher self or spirit is strong. And will not relent until you take heed. it begins with symptoms. Flu like to be exact. ironic is it not? There is a corona around the Sun. And in case no one has noticed, our Sun, is changing. So would it not make sense that any form of life that requires the Sun to have life would change also? Gives new meaning to As above, so below doesnt it? Man`s connection with the cosmos was understood in the past. Our ancient ancestors looked at the Sun and that is where they understood the Christ. Ions later, we see the Sun and only think heat, energy and light. We no longer can feel and cognize what our ancient ancestors did. We are in the second coming of Christ. And that is the reason we all chose to incarnate, once again, in this lifetime. to awaken to our true self. To experience the Christ. But, it is not the second coming of Jesus. It is the second coming of Christ. And those who follow the path, and seek, shall find. Christ will return. But in the etheric body of man. Meaning, he will experience Christ in himself. Those who are not prepared and do not turn inward during this momentous time, will have to wait for another incarnation. But all will who choose. This is the gift to humanity. The divine spark within that most choose never to acknowledge. The endurance of darkness is preparation for great light.
To call god suffering, to make pain categorically holy, is a great way to breed mindless slaves who can’t recognize evil when they see it. It’s how medieval peasants were taught to think. If something horrific is happening, it’s an act of god and you should contemplate what it is that god is punishing you for. Creating meaning from meaningless pain and alchemically turning it to your advantage is great, but it’s not the same as mindlessly accepting all pain as godly.
With respect, I don’t think you’re getting Jung’s point. He’s trying to communicate that when you turn toward a spiritual life it’s a difficult process. Difficult because we’re separate beings yearning to experience oneness. The “soul” or “god” doesn’t just show up because we want it to. It takes work to build fluency in the realm of soul and psyche.
So agree with you. Anxiety and depression would seem to be completely normal, natural and appropriate reactions to the disconnected, toxic consumer and material culture we find ourselves in. Medicating just so we can fit back into the fray just seems to perpetuate the collective disruption ultimately.
💯

"It's not mental illness ... it's soul sickness."
"It is no measure of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society" ... Jiddu Krishnamurti
When tempests roar, and darkness falls,
In every trial, courage recalls,
Through winds of change and raging strife,
I'll find my strength, and thrive in life
A thread of empathy we weave,
That binds our hearts, makes us believe,
In shared joys and shared sorrows,
Love's web of compassion, it borrows
Seek not the fleeting, shallow gain,
But delve into the depths of the soul's terrain,
Find purpose's light, burn bright and clear,
In serving others, true fulfillment near
Within my heart, a mirror lies,
Reflecting truths, no veil denies,
To know myself, with honesty near,
Glimpse the depths, dispel all fear

I recently had a beautiful dream that I found a little , round , underground house at the center of a forest . I went down into it and found that it was really a cave . As I walked deeper in I realized I was walking backward through time . I came upon an ancient woman who put her hand on my head and blessed me .
I feel that the lawn practice comes out of that dream .
I feel that we have created a culture of power , alienation and despair . I'm getting my sense of meaning and connection from making relationship with my immediate ecosystem.
The young author Sophie Strand.and Stephen Harrod Buhner have deeply influenced me for.the last two years also
Thank you for asking
I think people just can’t bear the fact they’re just meaningless animals !
@@harryleighton7500 that's what Hitler thought about the Jewish people .
@@blackthornsloe8049 The crystallization of this entire understanding came to me in my awareness that to everyone and everything around me I was a "useful tool." The second I stopped trying to earn my right to breath, my old life ended. Your dreams are very interesting. Thanks for sharing!
live vegan, too. animals are friends, not food.
Truly wonderful video. Keep up the fantastic work!
I luv Jung and McKenna they both had great confluence in my trepid journey. I would also consider RD Laing for his research into the effects of game theory on hyper sensitive people as an amplifier... It helped me to limit myself from those who were more on the less conducive side. It's fair to say we can attribute people in any given moment to support or resistance in the same way markets work. It seems the markets have strong correlation to society and to the psychology associated with markets. This has more recently been revealed when applying TLoD to the exchange of information and energy (light) regarding social dynamics ..entropy is being increased in efforts of the system, wether organic or artificial, to assimilate energy in the form of data from those freely wasting it. People can be stimulated through mainstream social media and news in the same way one would stoke the coals in a steam engine to get increased power. My humble advice to those experiencing a large degree of dissonance is... fill your mind with wonder and there will be no room for fear.
Also regarding the subject of this video and it's just a random observation but it seems like homeless in the wilderness are gurus while the homeless in cities are misfits. For those with inquisitive minds check out the story of Robert Harrell aka The Fort Fisher Hermit
Best vid I' ve seen in a while, really resonates thanks for the encouragement, really am not on a par with the last few minutes though.. that tribal thing and zen boring stuff, money pff
This reminds me of the story of Wetiko. You should look into it.
Thank you!
🙏🙏🙏
great video man
Dude you would love the freestyle rapper Daylyt’s live streams where he talks about depression and anxiety. He’s one of my biggest inspirations and influences, and it’s really awesome to hear someone who’s the complete opposite of the tweed jacket armchair academic discuss these issues. I need to make a playlist on my channel of my fav vids if his for sure.
Here’s one of my favs - He starts at 7 min sharp.

And here’s one of his freestyles lmao

Great stuff. As per usual. 👏
Please tell me there are not people that are mystified as to why they are feeling Anhedonia or have a feeling of hopelessness?
Have you looked at the modern society lately? Everyday it seems to get worse. Things were not this Insane and off the rails 20 years back. Society has lost it's way ! anyone that went through the 80's and even the 90's understands what i am saying.
This is why I need to treat with mushrooms 🍄 again.
1:28 source on this meme I’m trying to steal it.
Haha thanks, I just scooped it from somewhere though. Idk the original source unless there’s a watermark in there somewhere.
@@THIRDEYEDROPS okay it’s cool, love your work btw!

Sounds like you're describing the laws of human nature or what I see as a way of life. Pre-constitution. Religion and govt are bound together through alchemy which is a huge problem. Nice video
I need and want good relationships
🙏
You were pointing the obvious and in a perfect world I would do those but drugs are illegal, i have zero real connections and I hate to be on earth that knows in theory but in practise people are evil
Youre a G
Watchu say bro?
Do energy work.
Great listen.. really 👏 I gotta ask though.. what app or program did you use for the ai images? They are 🎉
That is what I hate the most about this... having to have relationships, after what people have done me, after they left me in hell, alone... but now I depend on them to get better. It is so disgusting for me. I don't want to depend on them. There must be other way.
I’m sorry to hear that my friend. There are good people out there 🙏
We are social animals, meaning we will inevitably suffer without companionship. I wish you healing, and might I add, companionship need not be human. Animals, nature, anything or anyone that you feel understands you can help. It's impossible not to find at least one thing... unless you stop looking altogether. What helps the most, I've found, is having a good relationship with yourself first. If you feel defined by others in any way, finding who you are outside of that is the first step.
❤️🤗🙏
Hi, can you share with me where I can p/u the beautiful fractal picture you have on the wall?
🙏🌞
Look up Bill Tavis Fractal Map!
how do you come to the conclusion that human life has a general importance to consciousness as a whole?
Interesting question. I wouldn’t say I’ve come to any conclusions on something as speculative and enormous as that. However, since we wield consciousness (or it wields us) on, arguably, the most advanced level on the planet, I’d say it logically follows that we are something consciousness is doing or is at least involved with.
Yeah basically that new apple headset thing is def an insult to our soul
What is the Name of the Video You Posted that explains "How to Work With Your Shadow"? I looked though all of the video's on your You Tube Channel and I watch the Video's of Carl Jung and The Shadow and None of them Explain "How To Work With Your Shadow" and yet you have Referred to the Video??? in several Other Video's But You Never Give the Title of the Video???
The end of that video is about working with the shadow through a variety of methods.
These days the world have been feel as evil. IDK why.
Over the course of humanity`s evolution, during certain cosmic events, divine dispensations have been given.
In the distant past, it was more of a blanket effect for all. Other times, it has been selective.
We are in the midst of one of those times. A divine dispensation has been given. We are also in the middle of a change from one epoch to another. The 5th to the 6th epoch. We are at the end of the 5th post Atlantean epoch.
In 1879, the Michael impulse began. And what we have seen since is the darkness wallowing due to their demise.
The Ahrimanic influence is strong during this time. Pulling humanity more towards a materialistic,ego driven reality.
Back in earlier epochs, the Luciferic influence was predominant. That is why no one has heard of Ahriman. Only Lucifer.
Luciferic influence will pull you toward the cosmos and spiriutal. But like anything, balance is the key.
Ahriman has already incarnated on Earth. It is your phone and digital currency. There is not a God side of a coin with digital currency. Beware!
What humanity is experiencing is a divine dispensation of the Christ impulse given to certain areas on Earth to certain individuals during our time of incarnation, to assist those on the path behind. Although, there is no one behind.
The nudge you feel from your higher self or spirit is strong. And will not relent until you take heed. it begins with symptoms.
Flu like to be exact. ironic is it not?
There is a corona around the Sun. And in case no one has noticed, our Sun, is changing. So would it not make sense that any form of life that requires the Sun to have life would change also?
Gives new meaning to As above, so below doesnt it?
Man`s connection with the cosmos was understood in the past. Our ancient ancestors looked at the Sun and that is where they understood the Christ. Ions later, we see the Sun and only think heat, energy and light. We no longer can feel and cognize what our ancient ancestors did.
We are in the second coming of Christ. And that is the reason we all chose to incarnate, once again, in this lifetime. to awaken to our true self. To experience the Christ. But, it is not the second coming of Jesus. It is the second coming of Christ.
And those who follow the path, and seek, shall find.
Christ will return. But in the etheric body of man. Meaning, he will experience Christ in himself.
Those who are not prepared and do not turn inward during this momentous time, will have to wait for another incarnation.
But all will who choose. This is the gift to humanity. The divine spark within that most choose never to acknowledge.
The endurance of darkness is preparation for great light.
Do you make your thumbnails and images in your vids using AI? Would love to know the prompts. They look awesome 😄
Thanks! Yes, I use midjourney. Sometimes a combination of mid journey and found images.
You gave an over generalized view of clergy. Many deep and profound priests, mainly Orthodox and Catholic.
Why you need to talk about parting lots and carts, fuck I'm pushing Carts, I'm a cart pusher XD
OMG, the image at 13:15 ! Anybody know its name, author?
I made it using mid journey ✌️
Jab has finished us
Hahaha. Don’t forsake your parking lot at Etiquette.
Cookie cutter lives.
Sorry I should have said Michael lol soo sorry 😃😅😂

To call god suffering, to make pain categorically holy, is a great way to breed mindless slaves who can’t recognize evil when they see it. It’s how medieval peasants were taught to think. If something horrific is happening, it’s an act of god and you should contemplate what it is that god is punishing you for.
Creating meaning from meaningless pain and alchemically turning it to your advantage is great, but it’s not the same as mindlessly accepting all pain as godly.
With respect, I don’t think you’re getting Jung’s point. He’s trying to communicate that when you turn toward a spiritual life it’s a difficult process. Difficult because we’re separate beings yearning to experience oneness. The “soul” or “god” doesn’t just show up because we want it to. It takes work to build fluency in the realm of soul and psyche.
@@THIRDEYEDROPS I wasn’t responding to jung.

Maybe you could discuss it further down the line? If you ever feel like it, I’ll keep an I on it
Excellent video sir, I just had a conversation in my college English class about this subject. Keep up the good works!
Hilman was a Peter Pan. And Self admittedly.
I think our whole generation is grappling with the puer/puella to a pretty significant extent. I know I am.
