Im a schizophrenic. I do doordash for extra money. One order at night, i arrived and walked to the door, placed his food down and took a picture. I got in my car and drove away. 30 minutes later he called and asked where his food was, i totally remember taking the picture at his doorstep. So he took it up with Doordash. An order later, i opened my back door and.. saw his order. I was so confused why it was there. I remembered everything about going there and taking the picture. He said I was never on his cameras.. Appearantly i hallucinated the whole delivery. I was there, but must of never left the car or even drove up.. What was i doing then?? Staring blankly at the windshield? With glazed over eyes?? I called him and apologized but he already got his refund. I felt so terrible. Im on medication and nothing works. It just goes to show how easily some misfirings in the brain can completely alter your sense of reality.
Inform yourself about lithium and the dosage to take. It helps for the brain and also get a good medium that can cleanse you off from any foreign attachements. Almost everyone has sort of entity energy attachements. It s nothing crazy, it s normal in this realm. You will feel much better amd lighter. But get a good healer! Not everyone is good ir can see clear.

Jung actually cautioned AGAINST using dreams as a first method for bringing the unconscious to consciousness. From CW8 on the Transcendent function: First and foremost, we need the unconscious material. The most readily accessible expression of unconscious processes is undoubtedly dreams…. In general, dreams are unsuitable or difficult to make use of in developing the transcendent function, because they make too great demands on the subject” “We must therefore look to other sources for the unconscious material… unconscious interferences in the wake state, ideas ‘out of the blue,’ slips, deceptions, lapses of memory, symptomatic actions, and spontaneous fantasies…” He then goes on to outline the method for Active imagination and utilizing creative methods such as writing, drawing, painting, dancing, playing, etc to tap into and bringing forward that which lies dormant.

This was an incredibly informative video that everybody should watch. Intriguingly, my wife has been drawing mandala just like Jung's patient that was described in this video because she used to suffer from mental illness. I didn't really understand how it worked before, but thanks to this video I understand its purpose and mode of operation a lot better now.
Good video. Very sychronistic for me. The vividness of consciousness can overwhelm your knowledge of a deep pool of help and understanding. Despite years of experience and learning, I still go off the rails.
“The condition of alienation, of being asleep, of being unconscious, of being out of one’s mind, is the condition of the normal man. Society highly values its normal man. It educates children to lose themselves and to become absurd, and thus to be normal.” ~ R.D. Laing

@@thepolycerateblacksheep I've never seen proof that there is no free will. I don't think it's even possible to prove one way or the other. The only sensible option seems to me to be to act as if we have free will, and try to make good decisions.
@VinOptimaxx Free will doesn’t exist logically. There is an infinite and infinitely complex web of cause and effect that no conscious being can interfere with alone. But that’s not how we operate, so we tell ourselves free will exists and fate doesn’t exist which is wrong. But that’s not necessarily unfortunate, not always at least.
@@VinOptimaxxxbut if there is an unconscious, we don’t know to what extent it influences us in our decision making. I personally think freedom is not the ability to choose, but the act of play. Ever played a sport and completely been in the process of the game entirely? You’re bound by the rules and yet the feeling you can get by playing is emancipatory
I've read and am now rereading Guenin's 'Symbolism of the Cross'. I don't remember him mentioning it, but now I understand how the cross can also be envisioned as the most simplified version of the mandala. Lacking detail, it becomes a universal mandala for unity of Being itself. A truly Divine symbol. No wonder it was used as a religious symbol throughout time.
Super interesting. Im just now learning about Carl Jung but i believe he was a wise brilliant soul. I love the imagery in this video as well. A pleasure to watch.
If in the future you’re lucky enough to suddenly have a fleeting realisation, “how did I have this thought? this isn’t what I think” and you wonder how you find yourself subscribing to increasingly extreme and absolutist positions - you might consider how this channel was an essential part of the mouth of that funnel that took you there.
This channel itself has much transformative power. It woke my beat friend up to the tyranny of 2020 and wrestled him away from the state religion of Scientism.
You can use a recorder to remember your dreams and write them down later. One thing to note though: a dream is a message from your subconscious and can be incorrect, in the sense that it is subjective. Enjoy the supermoon.
what do you think about an episode with this subject: truth and lies. what are they? why is one good and one bad? is it always so? Explore different philosophical theories about truth, such as correspondence theory, coherence theory, and pragmatism. What is truth, and how do we recognize it? politics? post-truth, misinformation , alternative facts. cultural perspectives, impact on relationships, impact on AI, impact on history, etc.
Going to be doing a lot of image searches to learn more about the art here. I've been exposed to a lot of Jungian thought; the words were interesting, and may have value that I am not aware of, but these paintings are astounding.
Dr. McGilchrist's work is interesting!! It's exactly what women have tried to show men for thousands of years: using your "feminine" right hemisphere (alongside your "masculine" left) to think with, IS individuation. :) Men have long repressed, rejected, and resisted the feminine. But I think they're finally waking up that emotion /intuition is as powerful and necessary to healthy humanhood and rationality as our intellectual ways of knowing and being. Cheers!
• Carl Jung’s exploration of the psyche and the archetypes is a profound journey into understanding the depths of human consciousness. His assertion that “everything in the unconscious seeks outward manifestation” resonates deeply with the idea that our inner world shapes our external reality. Jung’s division of the psyche into the conscious and unconscious realms, and further into the personal and collective unconscious, provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the complexities of human behavior and experience. The concept of archetypes as universal, inherited patterns that shape our psychic experiences is particularly fascinating. These archetypes, as Jung describes, are the “river-beds along which the current of psychic life has always flowed.” They are the foundational structures of our unconscious mind, influencing our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in ways we often do not realize. This idea that we are born with a set of archetypes, much like we are born with bodily organs, underscores the intrinsic nature of these patterns in our psychological makeup. Jung’s belief that consciousness emerged from the unconscious is a testament to the evolutionary journey of the human psyche. This emergence of consciousness, while bringing about the ability to reflect, doubt, and question, also introduces the burden of suffering. As Jung aptly puts it, “the development of consciousness is the burden, the suffering, and the blessing of mankind.” This duality of consciousness - its power to adapt and innovate, alongside its capacity to cause inner turmoil - is a central theme in Jung’s work. Moreover, Jung’s insights into the fluid boundary between consciousness and the unconscious highlight the dynamic nature of the psyche. The analogy of the spotlight on a dark stage vividly illustrates how our awareness can shift, bringing different aspects of our psyche into focus while others recede into the background. This fluidity is crucial for personal growth and self-awareness, as it allows us to integrate previously unconscious elements into our conscious understanding. In today’s world, where there is a “total disorientation in regard to the ends of human existence,” Jung’s call for a vast amount of psychological knowledge is more relevant than ever. Understanding the interplay between our conscious and unconscious minds, and the role of archetypes in shaping our experiences, can provide valuable insights into our behavior and motivations. It can help us navigate the complexities of modern life with greater self-awareness and psychological resilience. In conclusion, Jung’s exploration of the unconscious and the archetypes offers a rich tapestry of insights into the human psyche. His work encourages us to delve deeper into our inner world, to make the unconscious conscious, and to embrace the full spectrum of our psychological existence. This journey, while challenging, holds the promise of greater self-understanding and personal growth. • Carl Jung’s exploration of the unconscious and the archetypes is a profound journey into understanding the depths of the human psyche. His assertion that our personality is shaped by how we engage with the unconscious is both enlightening and challenging. The idea that we must change our relationship with the unconscious to achieve psychological wholeness resonates deeply with me. Jung’s concept of the shadow, the repressed aspects of our personality, is particularly compelling. It is a stark reminder that self-awareness and self-criticism are essential for personal growth. By confronting our shadow, we not only temper its negative effects but also reclaim parts of ourselves that we might have unjustly deemed as weaknesses. This process of integration is crucial for developing a more complete and authentic self. The notion that the personal unconscious must be dealt with before accessing the collective unconscious is a logical progression in Jung’s framework. It underscores the importance of self-reflection and personal healing as prerequisites for tapping into the deeper wisdom of our species. The collective unconscious, with its archetypes, offers a rich tapestry of symbols and patterns that can guide us through life’s challenges. These archetypes, whether they manifest as the mother, father, hero, or the Self, provide a roadmap for navigating the complexities of human existence. However, Jung’s critique of modern man’s disconnection from the collective unconscious is a sobering observation. Our obsession with technology, self-image, and social validation has indeed narrowed our attentional field, making it difficult to connect with the deeper layers of our psyche. This disconnection not only stifles personal growth but also has broader societal implications. When we ignore the wisdom of the archetypes, we risk falling into destructive patterns that can lead to social and psychological turmoil. Jung’s emphasis on the importance of symbols and dreams as gateways to the unconscious is a valuable insight. Dreams, in particular, offer a unique window into the unconscious, providing us with symbols that can illuminate our path to self-understanding. By paying attention to our dreams and engaging in practices that foster a connection to the unconscious, such as meditation and art, we can begin to bridge the gap between our conscious and unconscious minds. In conclusion, Jung’s work on the unconscious and archetypes is a testament to the complexity and depth of the human psyche. It challenges us to look beyond the surface of our consciousness and explore the hidden realms within. By doing so, we can achieve a greater sense of wholeness and live more authentically. The journey to making the unconscious conscious is not an easy one, but it is undoubtedly a path worth taking for those seeking true psychological health and fulfillment.
I need to understand more as to why people would think that animals don't feel anxiety about future events. Pavlov started out electric shocks on sheep, but stopped when they were having heart attacks when they heard the bell. They clearly had anxiety about a future event. If you've ever owned a dog you know that they are concious perhaps not as developed as us but obviously concious. And then there are Orcas, that have been known to collectively plan an attack on a seal.
There is a correlation between symbols, sound frequency, and healing. Cymatics provides us with proof that specific symbolic patterns form with changing sound frequency, similar to the mandala patterns. Music has been proven to help heal the mind, body, and soul. It's remarkable that music in specific frequency can cause neuroplasticity or literally cure the body of cancer or mental illness/trauma.
Here's a ChatGPT summary: - Carl Jung dedicated his life to understanding the secret of personality and emphasized the importance of psychological knowledge in understanding human existence. - Jung divided the psyche into conscious and unconscious elements, with the unconscious being a vast realm that influences the conscious mind. - The unconscious is divided into the personal unconscious, which contains forgotten or repressed personal experiences, and the collective unconscious, which contains universal, inherited patterns called archetypes. - Archetypes are innate patterns that influence our mental interactions and responses to life's challenges, similar to how instincts guide physical responses. - Consciousness emerged from the unconscious and transformed humans from instinct-driven beings to ones capable of doubt, reflection, and adaptation. - Consciousness allows humans to adapt to new situations, plan, and reflect, but also brings suffering and inner tension. - Jung believed that to achieve psychological health, individuals must integrate unconscious elements into conscious awareness, particularly by confronting the shadow side of their personality. - The shadow consists of repressed weaknesses and character flaws, and acknowledging it can lead to personal growth and a more complete personality. - Confronting the personal unconscious is necessary to access the deeper collective unconscious, which contains archetypes that can guide us through life's challenges. - Modern society's disconnection from the collective unconscious, due to technology and social pressures, impedes the spontaneous activation of archetypes. - Strengthening the symbol-producing function of the psyche, through dreams, religious practices, and engagement with symbolic literature, can help connect to the collective unconscious. - Engaging with the collective unconscious can lead to personal transformation and alignment with the wisdom of our species' history. - Failure to connect with the unconscious can result in destructive expressions of archetypes, leading to societal issues like war and mass psychogenic illnesses. - Main message: To achieve psychological wholeness and prevent societal destruction, individuals must strive to make the unconscious conscious by integrating personal and collective unconscious elements into their awareness.
He may well be correct about self-awareness (consciousness) being a relatively recent evolutionary development. The bible, which is a comparatively recent document, refers to the emergence of self-awareness when Adam & Eve ate the apple. That was only several thousand years ago. So, yeah: relatively recent…
Perhaps our archetypes are inate through our coding in our DNA, we are post deluvian manipulations and our consciousness derives from this upgrade which allows for attainment of aspects of universal consciousness through the soul
This needs to be taught in school. The number of problems that would be solved by creating nieches for the left over folk. I was a warrior, trying as hard as I can to be a wizard.
My only problem with modern philosophy is the lack of acknowledgement of the possibility that every aspect of human existence on this planet can be influenced by a technologically more advanced alien presence, yet undetectable to us.

8:14 No it's not, also having dominating instincts doesn't necessitate "surety" - or even a lack of consciousness/mind. Merely a different type of mind/processing..... also, as a programmer, there's just no relevant archetype for me, they're all vague and unhelpful for this level of details oriented, long term, technical task. There's no archetypes to adopt that aren't vague.
So do you think then the archetypes are generally useless? I can sometimes think in conceptual ways, which differs far from those who think in detail and I have been able to challenge people with much higher IQs by seeing flaws in their ideas as a result

What a great presentation of such important content to understand oneself and society! Thanks from Germany !!!
Super interesting. Im just now learning about Carl Jung but i believe he was a wise brilliant soul. I love the imagery in this video as well. A pleasure to watch.
If in the future you’re lucky enough to suddenly have a fleeting realisation, “how did I have this thought? this isn’t what I think” and you wonder how you find yourself subscribing to increasingly extreme and absolutist positions - you might consider how this channel was an essential part of the mouth of that funnel that took you there.
Excellent work. Thank you!
Cool to see Kastrup mentioned. I'll take it as a sign that I'm on the right path :D
This channel itself has much transformative power. It woke my beat friend up to the tyranny of 2020 and wrestled him away from the state religion of Scientism.
You can use a recorder to remember your dreams and write them down later. One thing to note though: a dream is a message from your subconscious and can be incorrect, in the sense that it is subjective.
Enjoy the supermoon.
Very, very good guys -- excellent video!
what do you think about an episode with this subject: truth and lies. what are they? why is one good and one bad? is it always so? Explore different philosophical theories about truth, such as correspondence theory, coherence theory, and pragmatism. What is truth, and how do we recognize it? politics? post-truth, misinformation , alternative facts. cultural perspectives, impact on relationships, impact on AI, impact on history, etc.

I love this art...
Going to be doing a lot of image searches to learn more about the art here. I've been exposed to a lot of Jungian thought; the words were interesting, and may have value that I am not aware of, but these paintings are astounding.

One cannot be an archetype. An archetype can be accessed and one can very well be possessed by it
Did you do a video about The Industrial Society and Its Future?
Would love this!
Citing Ian as the only other person along Jung in this clip speaks volumes about him
Dr. McGilchrist's work is interesting!! It's exactly what women have tried to show men for thousands of years: using your "feminine" right hemisphere (alongside your "masculine" left) to think with, IS individuation. :)
Men have long repressed, rejected, and resisted the feminine. But I think they're finally waking up that emotion /intuition is as powerful and necessary to healthy humanhood and rationality as our intellectual ways of knowing and being. Cheers!

• Carl Jung’s exploration of the psyche and the archetypes is a profound journey into understanding the depths of human consciousness. His assertion that “everything in the unconscious seeks outward manifestation” resonates deeply with the idea that our inner world shapes our external reality. Jung’s division of the psyche into the conscious and unconscious realms, and further into the personal and collective unconscious, provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the complexities of human behavior and experience.
The concept of archetypes as universal, inherited patterns that shape our psychic experiences is particularly fascinating. These archetypes, as Jung describes, are the “river-beds along which the current of psychic life has always flowed.” They are the foundational structures of our unconscious mind, influencing our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in ways we often do not realize. This idea that we are born with a set of archetypes, much like we are born with bodily organs, underscores the intrinsic nature of these patterns in our psychological makeup.
Jung’s belief that consciousness emerged from the unconscious is a testament to the evolutionary journey of the human psyche. This emergence of consciousness, while bringing about the ability to reflect, doubt, and question, also introduces the burden of suffering. As Jung aptly puts it, “the development of consciousness is the burden, the suffering, and the blessing of mankind.” This duality of consciousness - its power to adapt and innovate, alongside its capacity to cause inner turmoil - is a central theme in Jung’s work.
Moreover, Jung’s insights into the fluid boundary between consciousness and the unconscious highlight the dynamic nature of the psyche. The analogy of the spotlight on a dark stage vividly illustrates how our awareness can shift, bringing different aspects of our psyche into focus while others recede into the background. This fluidity is crucial for personal growth and self-awareness, as it allows us to integrate previously unconscious elements into our conscious understanding.
In today’s world, where there is a “total disorientation in regard to the ends of human existence,” Jung’s call for a vast amount of psychological knowledge is more relevant than ever. Understanding the interplay between our conscious and unconscious minds, and the role of archetypes in shaping our experiences, can provide valuable insights into our behavior and motivations. It can help us navigate the complexities of modern life with greater self-awareness and psychological resilience.
In conclusion, Jung’s exploration of the unconscious and the archetypes offers a rich tapestry of insights into the human psyche. His work encourages us to delve deeper into our inner world, to make the unconscious conscious, and to embrace the full spectrum of our psychological existence. This journey, while challenging, holds the promise of greater self-understanding and personal growth.
• Carl Jung’s exploration of the unconscious and the archetypes is a profound journey into understanding the depths of the human psyche. His assertion that our personality is shaped by how we engage with the unconscious is both enlightening and challenging. The idea that we must change our relationship with the unconscious to achieve psychological wholeness resonates deeply with me.
Jung’s concept of the shadow, the repressed aspects of our personality, is particularly compelling. It is a stark reminder that self-awareness and self-criticism are essential for personal growth. By confronting our shadow, we not only temper its negative effects but also reclaim parts of ourselves that we might have unjustly deemed as weaknesses. This process of integration is crucial for developing a more complete and authentic self.
The notion that the personal unconscious must be dealt with before accessing the collective unconscious is a logical progression in Jung’s framework. It underscores the importance of self-reflection and personal healing as prerequisites for tapping into the deeper wisdom of our species. The collective unconscious, with its archetypes, offers a rich tapestry of symbols and patterns that can guide us through life’s challenges. These archetypes, whether they manifest as the mother, father, hero, or the Self, provide a roadmap for navigating the complexities of human existence.
However, Jung’s critique of modern man’s disconnection from the collective unconscious is a sobering observation. Our obsession with technology, self-image, and social validation has indeed narrowed our attentional field, making it difficult to connect with the deeper layers of our psyche. This disconnection not only stifles personal growth but also has broader societal implications. When we ignore the wisdom of the archetypes, we risk falling into destructive patterns that can lead to social and psychological turmoil.
Jung’s emphasis on the importance of symbols and dreams as gateways to the unconscious is a valuable insight. Dreams, in particular, offer a unique window into the unconscious, providing us with symbols that can illuminate our path to self-understanding. By paying attention to our dreams and engaging in practices that foster a connection to the unconscious, such as meditation and art, we can begin to bridge the gap between our conscious and unconscious minds.
In conclusion, Jung’s work on the unconscious and archetypes is a testament to the complexity and depth of the human psyche. It challenges us to look beyond the surface of our consciousness and explore the hidden realms within. By doing so, we can achieve a greater sense of wholeness and live more authentically. The journey to making the unconscious conscious is not an easy one, but it is undoubtedly a path worth taking for those seeking true psychological health and fulfillment.
Be gone, AI daemon!
@@PJCG06 You beat me to it ...
(Note the stunted ,hackneyed grammar.)
Well done 👍
I need to understand more as to why people would think that animals don't feel anxiety about future events.
Pavlov started out electric shocks on sheep, but stopped when they were having heart attacks when they heard the bell. They clearly had anxiety about a future event.
If you've ever owned a dog you know that they are concious perhaps not as developed as us but obviously concious.
And then there are Orcas, that have been known to collectively plan an attack on a seal.
Thanks!
There is a correlation between symbols, sound frequency, and healing. Cymatics provides us with proof that specific symbolic patterns form with changing sound frequency, similar to the mandala patterns. Music has been proven to help heal the mind, body, and soul. It's remarkable that music in specific frequency can cause neuroplasticity or literally cure the body of cancer or mental illness/trauma.
aka: good vibes.
... humor should be noted in the conversation to, alot have learned thru experience that 'laughter is the best medicine'.
@chinookwynds3206 yes good point. Laughter is certainly good medicine! 😆
Here's a ChatGPT summary:
- Carl Jung dedicated his life to understanding the secret of personality and emphasized the importance of psychological knowledge in understanding human existence.
- Jung divided the psyche into conscious and unconscious elements, with the unconscious being a vast realm that influences the conscious mind.
- The unconscious is divided into the personal unconscious, which contains forgotten or repressed personal experiences, and the collective unconscious, which contains universal, inherited patterns called archetypes.
- Archetypes are innate patterns that influence our mental interactions and responses to life's challenges, similar to how instincts guide physical responses.
- Consciousness emerged from the unconscious and transformed humans from instinct-driven beings to ones capable of doubt, reflection, and adaptation.
- Consciousness allows humans to adapt to new situations, plan, and reflect, but also brings suffering and inner tension.
- Jung believed that to achieve psychological health, individuals must integrate unconscious elements into conscious awareness, particularly by confronting the shadow side of their personality.
- The shadow consists of repressed weaknesses and character flaws, and acknowledging it can lead to personal growth and a more complete personality.
- Confronting the personal unconscious is necessary to access the deeper collective unconscious, which contains archetypes that can guide us through life's challenges.
- Modern society's disconnection from the collective unconscious, due to technology and social pressures, impedes the spontaneous activation of archetypes.
- Strengthening the symbol-producing function of the psyche, through dreams, religious practices, and engagement with symbolic literature, can help connect to the collective unconscious.
- Engaging with the collective unconscious can lead to personal transformation and alignment with the wisdom of our species' history.
- Failure to connect with the unconscious can result in destructive expressions of archetypes, leading to societal issues like war and mass psychogenic illnesses.
- Main message: To achieve psychological wholeness and prevent societal destruction, individuals must strive to make the unconscious conscious by integrating personal and collective unconscious elements into their awareness.
AI, is really good. For instance this summary.

Carl Jung was thoughtful.
How so?
@@pdub4600 he/she means probably full of thoughts which equals to being full of shit

@@pdub4600 Think about it.
That's funny dude. I laughed out loud man. Thanks! Im still chuckling about it.
He may well be correct about self-awareness (consciousness) being a relatively recent evolutionary development. The bible, which is a comparatively recent document, refers to the emergence of self-awareness when Adam & Eve ate the apple. That was only several thousand years ago. So, yeah: relatively recent…
Perhaps our archetypes are inate through our coding in our DNA, we are post deluvian manipulations and our consciousness derives from this upgrade which allows for attainment of aspects of universal consciousness through the soul
it was said that Homer was the first person to describe himself as “I” - thus we have the beginning of recorded ego-consciousness
when he said that my mind went straight to “Adam and Eve was an allegory to unlocked consiousness”. mind-blowing
Something to think about.
Funny enough i watched your archetypes video from 7years ago yesterday and was wanting to dig some more hahaha
Eve in the garden brought about consciousness. And here we are😊
This needs to be taught in school. The number of problems that would be solved by creating nieches for the left over folk. I was a warrior, trying as hard as I can to be a wizard.
My only problem with modern philosophy is the lack of acknowledgement of the possibility that every aspect of human existence on this planet can be influenced by a technologically more advanced alien presence, yet undetectable to us.
to me dreams are personal in meaning, so each person would have to find out what the symbol's means to them. but that could be helpfull. 😊
Whats the painting in the thumbnail? I used to know it!
I haven't seen recommendations of your last 4 videos on my timeline for some reasons. Just checked and they are all significantly less viewed as previous videos. What is going on?

What exactly does he mean by "roots?"
My guess is humanity’s general cutting off from the notion of the gods / archetypes. We have no use for them, so our culture will wither or decay.

8:14 No it's not, also having dominating instincts doesn't necessitate "surety" - or even a lack of consciousness/mind. Merely a different type of mind/processing..... also, as a programmer, there's just no relevant archetype for me, they're all vague and unhelpful for this level of details oriented, long term, technical task. There's no archetypes to adopt that aren't vague.
So do you think then the archetypes are generally useless?
I can sometimes think in conceptual ways, which differs far from those who think in detail and I have been able to challenge people with much higher IQs by seeing flaws in their ideas as a result
