@@integodoo how interesting, thank you for mentioning that. When I read your message, a thought came back to mind, at the end of Letters Volume 1, there is a bit of additional letters included out-of-sequence, in Addenda. One is to Herman Hesse but on the topic of H's book "Demian". I just had to go check in on that letter this moment when replying to your comment, so I could be sure what the book was. Did you read Siddhartha?
There is a good quote in the beginning of Red Book Liber Novus that in his own words would nod to what you wrote. A period of deep questioning and writing notes, in his late 30s early 40s. And the quote talks about how the numinous/spiritual beginning lead to more stuff than can be figured out in one life, and much of his life's career from 1920s-1960s was a mere scientific elaboration, for others. His work in alchemy is partly why I've been going in that direction on my channel. :)
This is so wonderful and beautiful that it's worth noting and people are not even aware of it. One of the greatest minds in history, presented in this film as a person practically communicating with us, gives the impression of simplicity and some kind of accessibility to all of us. However, behind this lies much more than meets the eye. He communicates with us both verbally and non-verbally. We hear words, can relate to his fate, to some elements of thinking, and yet, on the other hand, his thoughts are at the peaks of human contemplation and creation, so far-reaching and untouchable. This is a great honor, as if we were listening to Plato, Shakespeare, or another giant, but since it's so close to us through this screen, we are not aware of the gift we have listening to Jung. Thank you!
You hit the nail on the head, perfectly. Can you imagine what Hugh Burnett felt having achieved the interview, then the invitation for second but the interviewer was not John Freeman... Burnett must have been scrambling, but had a busy schedule. Since Jung passed about a year later, but possibly there was more planning that went on. There is more detail also in Jung’s Man and His Symbols, because it was a project also collaborated with Freeman. One might wonder why Burnett and Freeman couldn’t get a plan complete for Professor Jung to have the follow-up interview with themselves. On your mention of Plato, in case you are interested, besides reading Jung’s alchemy books, I have a few Plato projects in the works for the channel, and thoughts about Babylonian and ancient far-east works.
Yes! Yes! That is the profundity of it! I love becoming aware of a person who conceives of the absolute blessing it is to witness such a moment in history, of one of the greatest minds to have ever come before us, speaking on film! It fills me with gratitude, though leads me into a sense of befuddlement so as to why more people are not interested or inclined to inquire into such recordings... Most people in modern society are happy to accept the field of psychology as being a concrete, definite domain of educational truth, yet do not seem to feel the need to understand its origins? Are willing simply to accept its validity because everyone else does so? Human culture is characterised by an overabundance of conformists and and submissive, suggestible types (those led to blindly accept religious beliefs and dogmatism without question), and the exceedingly rare individuals among us who actually seem to require proof or factual evidence in order to be convinced of what others happily and unquestioningly accept like sheep following each other endlessly around a paddock which seem indistinct from unconscious automatons!
How fortunate we are to have men like him on film..to know for sure exactly what he said..think of all the historical figures we are forced only to know through writings possibly corrupted by translations and time
@@NullScar not really. more people in comments are triggered by Jung himself... Freudians, typically (as with Maurice Richardson as in the newspaper letters, and the one I didn't include in the video)
This is like the third time I have listened to this discussion with Jung, what wonderful insights about understanding our nature. “The greatest danger to Man is himself” wow
So wonderful to see this interview. Jung's book, memories, dreams and reflections was instrumental for me in providing a framework with which I could make sense of experiences I was having at the age of 14-15. Ultimately becoming a catalyst for a dive into occult knowledge ... meaning hidden. Carl Jung remains as one of the giants in my life. Thank you for sharing this upload.❤
Beautiful interview, even now after many years. Wisdom combined with science is growth in a beautiful way. Science without wisdom is poor, narrow minded and deeply ignorant missing and excluding important faculties of mankind and therefore even dangerous
This was an opening of mind-blowing conversations. What an enormous contribution you have given with these letters. It was as if the voice of Jung was walking alongside me. "Do you remember of your consciousness of your own individual self?" "That was in my 11th year, I was own my way to school, I stepped out of a mist, it was as if I had been in a mist walking in a mist, and I stepped out of it and I knew, I am, I am. What am I? And then I thought I was that happened in the mist, not knowing to defferriate myself from the things I was that happened in the midst not knowing to defferiate myself from things was just one among many things." 🙏❤️🌎🌿🕊🎵🎶🎵
You have done a very good, possibly a great thing through your presentation and curation of this content. Herr Professor Jung, in my modest judgment is the most consequential thinker of the 20th century. Anything that brings him more fully into our lives is manna.
Thank you for your commendation, Rick. Truly, the work of Jung is inspiring, and I would like to hear more about your own experiences with Jung's work, if ever you want to share them. Knowing what people think about their own takes on Jung's work, has made this video so valuable to me; as this video is just my own "little" project, to contribute into the global conversation and awareness, historically. I am very serious about the work of Jung, and his historical influences (i.e. his parents, wife, his wife's grandfather, Paracelsus, alchemists...). Also some focuses: Sonu Shamdasani's work, i.e. "Jung Stripped Bare By His Biographers, Even", The Red Book Liber Novus, and his other recent articles; plus I want to contribute to awareness of the translation projects from Philemon Foundation. Some other of my own little projects: I re-started recording Ashmole’s Theatrum Chemicum Britannicum, using a scan from the book owned by CG Jung, in his alchemy library. There is another project I want to do on Jung, based on his letters to certain of his friends and collaborators (i.e. Richard Wilhelm, Hans Schmid).
This is such a lovely compilation of some historical moments. I almost feel I was the one talking to Jung, touching and understanding his thoughts. Would be great he is still available to us today to chat more in depth on many things that he probably didn't want to talk fearing to stir up the crowd.
What a beautiful video you have put out there! Love this part on Freud, "When he has thought something then it was settled, while I was doubting all along the line." Make me think to this quote by Bertrand Russell: "The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt."
Well, but Jung is cocksure about “God” and the independence of the psyche from the body and that it survives physical death, for which there is no convincing evidence, but rather the opposite becomes increasingly clear when you look at the evidences brain research produces.
@@Lyndanet Jung wrote of his admiration for Freud, wrote details on Freud’s accomplishments, within the opening to Psychology of Dementia Praecox, which is contained in CW3 the Psychogenesis of Mental Disease. The attack-natured partisans for Freud or Jung are sad to me. One benefits from awareness of all peoples accomplishments. Freud and Adler are mentioned early in this F2F episode, Jung wanted to do Justice to them by bringing a missing key.
Hey you have a hand in restoring my faith and interest in working and developing this channel. 😍 your UA-cam poems also come to mind when I re-listen to my Village Blacksmith poem read.
Much thanks and gratitude, SivaVgt. I truly am moved for the friendly words you and others have shared. Honestly, this is early March, and before 2 months ago, it was 6 months old on. UA-cam, and only had around 200 views, and a handful of comments. If you stick around, I will be producing more stuff, as I'm extremely deeply invested in this.
I have seen this interview before, but I watched it again because of the addendum of letter reading and as it turned out, I was well rewarded, both by the visual presentation, the selection of letters, (without distracting commentary) as well as the podcast like nature of the reading, followed by the readers show of enthusiasm for Jung’s work. Thank you
It's so friendly to read comments on the videos, I must ask are you any fan of Jung's writing, anything in particular? I want to see about peoples' individual interests.
Thank you very much for doing this. This is the best quality version of the Face To Face film I've ever seen. I've been reading Jung's works since 1978 and it's been marvellous to find so much about him on You Tube ! A real treat. I remain, your latest subscriber !
Jung opened a door on the human psyche that was not revealed prior in the study of psychology. I believe he was very ahead of his time. Even today, his work is often sited and many books have been written by other great thinkers referencing his work. Thank you so much for presenting this video. You have made my quiet, raining morning a thought provoking one. With gratitude.❤
It's a famous quote :) When I made this Face to Face special edition in May 2023, this video was part 2, of a pair. Part 1 is called "Carl Jung's words & writings - I am not what Happened to me - I Don't Believe, I Know" (see here ua-cam.com/video/j_ZD5O-Wgh8/v-deo.html ) In that part 1, I analyze some other of his writing, that people love to quote (and accidentally misquote). Some of this part 2 special edition video includes material from part 1.
The psyche living outside space and time and the historic mind influences sound similar to ideas of Whitehead and now Rupert Sheldrake's theory of Morphic Resonance which he based on his scientific studies and discoveries studying plants as a Biologist.
At 1:06:40 I stopped the video & enlarged my tablet screen to read page 524 of the book you are reading with letters or notes from C.G. Jung. This one dated 5 December 1959 states that Jung considers himself a Christian. A few moments ago I was stating that it is important to have dates next to the comments of people because often we or they may have an opinion at one age and date and may have an opposite opinion later in life. Or they may have the same opinion but in just a more mature and complex way. So thank you for that. Also wanted to say I appreciate what you put on the screen and how your second screen of you on the side in a smaller size ... and your reading... is very enjoyable. I also appreciate the cadence that you use and the clarity of speech. It is rare that I find a channel that can come close to this. Thank you very much! This is my first video and I did sub of your channel.
My pleasure, Esther! You may laugh, when I say this video was my style of a "youtube reaction video". In the (long) description, I describe what started this video. Also, you may be happy to hear, there is another video on my channel from the first week, 2018, when I read another entry from Jung's books of letters. It is "Carl Jung letter, 6 November 1915, Understanding as a devourer" Hope you have a good 2024, and if you subscribe I will be putting up more in the future :)
I read "Memories, Dreams, Reflections" recently and have always been interested in Jung's ideas. I hope to read more of his books. It was a joy to see this 1959 interview with Jung, just two years before he died. A remarkable man. One thing that led Jung to depart from Freud was when the latter confided in Jung that he was troubled by a dream he'd had. Jung offered to help Freud and interpret the dream, but Freud said that he could not risk losing his authority. Jung realised then that Freud was more concerned with his reputation than seeking the truth. In the mid 1940s Jung was taken ill with a heart attack and had an amazing out of body experience in which he was flying so high above the Earth that he could see the outlines of the coastlines far below. A mythological figure flew close to him and he realised that it was the doctor treating him, Dr H. Jung understood immediately that the dream meant that if he were to live, then Dr H would have to die. Jung tried to warn Dr H, who couldn't really grasp what Jung meant. The day Jung felt much better and began to get out of bed and wonder around, Dr H fell ill and died a few days later. He was a great thinker, and a kind, humane man. I'm not sure if you can still buy his collected works in a complete set, I think I'll probably have to buy just the books which interest me the most eg Psychological Types, case histories from his career as a psychiatrist, Synchronicity, his writings on the collective unconscious etc. Not sure if I'd be up to reading the more difficult works about alchemy.
I wonder if William Donahue 350 keys to the Kingdom or if you ever listen to William Donahue. He spoke highly of Carl Jung . I just found William Donahue, I'm really surprised that it has not gotten much attention on his explanations of thinking ! Anyway, here to the new understanding of consciousness! My friends 🧡
Beloved the Sea of Glass came to pass! Walking upon the SEA OF GLASS. For such time as this. Able to see my pop having sincere conversations. For life is conversations! Pop having sincere conversations with his shared "i" AM. For many looking for signs! Many will wonder!
Wow what an awesome video. I never knew that Jung was so pissed off about the lack of knowledge of the 1957 interviewer. I am glad he did these interviews because I've learned so much watching them many times as I read his books I learn more from his words and expressions.
Hey thanks! I'm so glad you commented and perceived the point about the other interviews. There is a huge world of controversy and stories behind this interview. One other youtube guy just stole my video recently, and instantly got thousands of subscribers and stripped the extra material about jung. But even what I put in here, for "special extended" material to share with everyone, is just the tip of the iceberg. I've just bought four books recently that talk about everything that happened. I am trying to get an interview with a few others about late-life Jung stories related to this.
You’re very welcome. I have a few more angles on Jung that no one ever looks at. In the process over the past two years of getting into I accidentally found multiple but hard-to-find references to his dog. So I’m going to make a vid about his dog 😆 Also, alchemy, but that is a well-known aspect, but what fewer people know is Jung’s personal alchemy library has been scanned and put online.
Wow! Do you have any stories? He must have had a lot of interesting experiences in his career. During the work on this video, I tried to connect with someone who had a picture of Mr Burnett, but without success.
I am so very grateful for the video and especially your extensive review of Jung's answers to the God comment. It is understandable that some took his thoughtful comment on "I don't need to believe in God, I know" to be a proclamation of "faith." However, your inclusion of his answers to that are very illuminating and so important to understanding more fully what indeed he meant. "God," as I understand it, is an example of an archetype. Very deep and profound subject and thank you for your research and presentation. I am currently reading "Man and His Symbols."
Hi, thanks! Yours is another encouragement toward reading and knowing the multi-sided views of Professor Jung. I am so glad to read your comment. Agreed, and there are so many streams of temporary news blips, and blunt opinions and statements in the world, it is often we are forced to just take a piece of stuff and eat it and not get much spiritual or psychological nutrition from it, and just need to keep consuming new stuff. So when putting this up it felt like a long-term meditation, historical but relevant for current social media quotes and understanding, and promoting further reading is just a natural next step. Please let us all know how you progress with Man and His Symbols, I for one am always interested to hear others new ideas after reading Jung. Thanks again.
In a letter to Freud, dated 1/30/1910, Jung wrote, "The prerequisite for a good marriage, it seems to me, is the license to be unfaithful." I was surprised to learn that Jung had affairs w/ at least 2 of his patients (Sabina & Toni), & during his marriage, but his wife Emma decided that she "could live with it." They were married on Valentine's Day. She died abt 5 yrs before he did.
Jung is my father! He teaches how to stand in my not-meaningless life. And I pay the price for that, every one that I m' surrounded by couldn't understand me, just only because my father is unknown to them.
This is great: The internet needs more content like this. Chapters and a transcript? I'm officially spoiled. ;) I "liked" the video and subscribed to your channel.
He gives deeper personal vibes in various of his letters which were published in the two Letters volumes. Some jokes, some deep personal, some cutesy stuff. One example (a favourite of mine): Carl visited London UK in 1919 (44 years of age), and received a letter from his daughter Marianne, who was 9 years old. He wrote back, told her bought a doll, made in India from wood, that is a gift for her mum Emma. The style of the writing, the narrative, details, is very much father-to-9-year-old daughter.
I can't see eye to eye with the Guardian's criticism. Just a cursory exploration of Jung's complex ideas would last for way longer than the 40 minutes allotted to the interview. John Freeman's introduction to Man and His Symbols indicates that this programme was, to an extent, an exploration, to gauge at what level he should pitch that book.
That is interesting. It sounds vaguely familiar, I may have skimmed Freeman's intro of MaHS later, but not in depth. Perhaps we might find it interesting to see if John Freeman referenced Jung or his ideas in any other future works. More digging, ha! It was a fun exercise for this video. There is some small niche for making new unique researched videos about Jung. :) The newspaper research yielded many more articles written about Jung, but out of context for this video itself. If memory serves, there were numerous ones on his trips to Africa, I think because he was sponsored and taking-along a wealthy patron. Also a lot about Jung's passing in 1961. I have done back research on the modern antagonist Richard Noll.
Beloved recognize one another! And love one another together! Loving you is the fulfillment. With patience, mercy, and grace! Judgment and Justice knows the True Owner.
If I try to imagine the world without Jung's contribution; imagine my own life's journey without his awareness, I cannot. I just can't. I don't believe in the power of archetypes: I know.
Well said. This morning, on waking, something similar was on my mind. I'm dealing with major upheaval in my life, (causing delays in new stories/videos herein) but my thoughts were on consciousness as it stands in opposition to the operation of archetypes, but also how they can work together, if one knows more about the fundamentals of archetypes from Jung's view and his writings. I feel very similar as you. Spirit of the Depths is brutal but more to be hoped/sought than Spirit of the Times.
I had a professor do the same thing to me in a English composition class, had a term paper on the themes of Edgar Allen Poe, the asshole teacher thought I plagiarized from various sources, almost got kicked out of Edmonds Community College because of it.
Atman is Brahman . Sam Altman . Open A.I. No birth and therefore death. Loved to have heard Jung’s reaction, had he been alive, to A.I. And its connection to the collective unconscious and archetypes. Is A.I cognizant , will it ever be, of synchronicity and the like?
Hey good point, thanks. I checked and they appear turned on but "unavailable". I changed the language from UK english to no-region general English, so ... who knows, maybe that will enable/re-enable. Cross fingers.
hahaha, it's true. but could be like those 90-somethings and centenarians that swear by having alcohol every day, as their key to longevity. I don't think Jung died from throat or mouth cancer. I know your point, only just saying it's what it is for him, plus at that time, 9 out of 10 doctors in America chose Camels cigarettes. :)
He contributed a lot to the treatment of addiction and alcholism. Hes mentioned several times in the Big Book of ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS & NARCOTIS ANONYMOUS.
Ha! Thanks. I appreciate the insight. Do you have any thoughts on hoc est? It is in enough latin that I read, and in my head, and with studying on hīc/hoc/haec and such, hoc est treads the meaning of "that is". I don't think of i.e. as latin, but rather english "in example". You may find in other videos, multiple times I've pronounced "etcetera" as "et ketera" and then correct myself for the audience to english pronunciation.
Id est Definition & Meaning - Merriam-Webster 4 days ago Id est is a Latin phrase that means that is.@@edgeofthought Not "pedantic" to know the elements of style; Strunk and White, 3rd ed.
Great job, this is very well done. Informative and well spoken with great research.
Thank you, Jacob. Also, I hope I can do a video again soon with your music. ❤🎶
You know, I wonder how many and which languages Jung knew. German, Greek, English, Latin, at the very basic least.
@@edgeofthought and also he helped Herman Hesse to finish his famous book Sidharta

There's just something so magnetic about Jung. There's no going back, once you're into his teachings, you're in for life. 🥰💫
He makes you think backwards
It's probably not a great way to think about psychology but I understand what you mean
What a wonderful, humble and unashamedly spiritual man Jung is!

Thank you for this great extended version! answerd a lot of questions for me!
I remember him from the old UK TV comedy series, The Jung Ones. They made a lot of Freudian Slips .
" I don't need to believe in God , I Know" ❤
It's a famous quote :) When I made this Face to Face special edition in May 2023, this video was part 2, of a pair. Part 1 is called "Carl Jung's words & writings - I am not what Happened to me - I Don't Believe, I Know" (see here ua-cam.com/video/j_ZD5O-Wgh8/v-deo.html )
In that part 1, I analyze some other of his writing, that people love to quote (and accidentally misquote). Some of this part 2 special edition video includes material from part 1.
I have a scientific proof of God

The psyche living outside space and time and the historic mind influences sound similar to ideas of Whitehead and now Rupert Sheldrake's theory of Morphic Resonance which he based on his scientific studies and discoveries studying plants as a Biologist.
At 1:06:40 I stopped the video & enlarged my tablet screen to read page 524 of the book you are reading with letters or notes from C.G. Jung. This one dated 5 December 1959 states that Jung considers himself a Christian. A few moments ago I was stating that it is important to have dates next to the comments of people because often we or they may have an opinion at one age and date and may have an opposite opinion later in life. Or they may have the same opinion but in just a more mature and complex way. So thank you for that. Also wanted to say I appreciate what you put on the screen and how your second screen of you on the side in a smaller size ... and your reading... is very enjoyable. I also appreciate the cadence that you use and the clarity of speech. It is rare that I find a channel that can come close to this. Thank you very much! This is my first video and I did sub of your channel.
thanks for making it !
Appreciate your research into the reception Jung's interview elicited. Thank you.
Great job, loved it!!
Man, the comment section in 1959 was no joke 🔥
Thank you. Particularly with the follow up letters.
Jung is worth the effort of understanding.
My pleasure, Esther! You may laugh, when I say this video was my style of a "youtube reaction video". In the (long) description, I describe what started this video. Also, you may be happy to hear, there is another video on my channel from the first week, 2018, when I read another entry from Jung's books of letters. It is "Carl Jung letter, 6 November 1915, Understanding as a devourer" Hope you have a good 2024, and if you subscribe I will be putting up more in the future :)
I read "Memories, Dreams, Reflections" recently and have always been interested in Jung's ideas. I hope to read more of his books. It was a joy to see this 1959 interview with Jung, just two years before he died. A remarkable man. One thing that led Jung to depart from Freud was when the latter confided in Jung that he was troubled by a dream he'd had. Jung offered to help Freud and interpret the dream, but Freud said that he could not risk losing his authority. Jung realised then that Freud was more concerned with his reputation than seeking the truth. In the mid 1940s Jung was taken ill with a heart attack and had an amazing out of body experience in which he was flying so high above the Earth that he could see the outlines of the coastlines far below. A mythological figure flew close to him and he realised that it was the doctor treating him, Dr H. Jung understood immediately that the dream meant that if he were to live, then Dr H would have to die. Jung tried to warn Dr H, who couldn't really grasp what Jung meant. The day Jung felt much better and began to get out of bed and wonder around, Dr H fell ill and died a few days later. He was a great thinker, and a kind, humane man. I'm not sure if you can still buy his collected works in a complete set, I think I'll probably have to buy just the books which interest me the most eg Psychological Types, case histories from his career as a psychiatrist, Synchronicity, his writings on the collective unconscious etc. Not sure if I'd be up to reading the more difficult works about alchemy.
You have to be aware of jesus teaching, " you have to be born again ( from above).
Thanks for this
A great man with great mind may God accept him in paradise because not like most psychiatrists he believes in God … he knows . wow ❤
With patience, mercy, and grace! Judgment and Justice knows the True Owner.
I wonder if William Donahue 350 keys to the Kingdom or if you ever listen to William Donahue. He spoke highly of Carl Jung .
I just found William Donahue, I'm really surprised that it has not gotten much attention on his explanations of thinking !
Anyway, here to the new understanding of consciousness! My friends 🧡
Beloved the Sea of Glass came to pass! Walking upon the SEA OF GLASS. For such time as this. Able to see my pop having sincere conversations. For life is conversations! Pop having sincere conversations with his shared "i" AM. For many looking for signs! Many will wonder!
Wow what an awesome video. I never knew that Jung was so pissed off about the lack of knowledge of the 1957 interviewer. I am glad he did these interviews because I've learned so much watching them many times as I read his books I learn more from his words and expressions.
Hey thanks! I'm so glad you commented and perceived the point about the other interviews.
There is a huge world of controversy and stories behind this interview. One other youtube guy just stole my video recently, and instantly got thousands of subscribers and stripped the extra material about jung.
But even what I put in here, for "special extended" material to share with everyone, is just the tip of the iceberg. I've just bought four books recently that talk about everything that happened. I am trying to get an interview with a few others about late-life Jung stories related to this.
@@edgeofthought cool I look forward to your next video on that. You got a subscriber out of me.
Thanks for the great video. After viewing it, I thought that Dr. Jung's concept of Archetype might somehow relate to an AI aToken.
Brilliant. What a wonderful idea. Like Jordan Peterson says, Jung was frighteningly intelligent. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for posting this
You’re very welcome. I have a few more angles on Jung that no one ever looks at. In the process over the past two years of getting into I accidentally found multiple but hard-to-find references to his dog. So I’m going to make a vid about his dog 😆
Also, alchemy, but that is a well-known aspect, but what fewer people know is Jung’s personal alchemy library has been scanned and put online.
It's ways interesting to hear new angles on Jung and his work!
Amazing content. Jung was not as eloquent a writer as Freud, which made his books more difficult to get through...but so worth the effort.
Thanks for sharing this amazing interviewed ❤❤❤
Hugh was my best friend. He died aged 87 in his lovely home on Richmond Green.
Wow! Do you have any stories? He must have had a lot of interesting experiences in his career. During the work on this video, I tried to connect with someone who had a picture of Mr Burnett, but without success.
🙏♥ 1 of the smartest Men to have lived.
What an exceptional insight to produce such a shrine of a video! Phenomenal! Thank you
I am so very grateful for the video and especially your extensive review of Jung's answers to the God comment. It is understandable that some took his thoughtful comment on "I don't need to believe in God, I know" to be a proclamation of "faith." However, your inclusion of his answers to that are very illuminating and so important to understanding more fully what indeed he meant. "God," as I understand it, is an example of an archetype. Very deep and profound subject and thank you for your research and presentation. I am currently reading "Man and His Symbols."
Hi, thanks! Yours is another encouragement toward reading and knowing the multi-sided views of Professor Jung. I am so glad to read your comment. Agreed, and there are so many streams of temporary news blips, and blunt opinions and statements in the world, it is often we are forced to just take a piece of stuff and eat it and not get much spiritual or psychological nutrition from it, and just need to keep consuming new stuff. So when putting this up it felt like a long-term meditation, historical but relevant for current social media quotes and understanding, and promoting further reading is just a natural next step.
Please let us all know how you progress with Man and His Symbols, I for one am always interested to hear others new ideas after reading Jung. Thanks again.
In a letter to Freud, dated 1/30/1910, Jung wrote, "The prerequisite for a good marriage, it seems to me, is the license to be unfaithful." I was surprised to learn that Jung had affairs w/ at least 2 of his patients (Sabina & Toni), & during his marriage, but his wife Emma decided that she "could live with it." They were married on Valentine's Day. She died abt 5 yrs before he did.
I could say soooo much about Mr. Jung, I would like to say he is also very handsome!!!
Awesomeness
Jung is my father! He teaches how to stand in my not-meaningless life. And I pay the price for that, every one that I m' surrounded by couldn't understand me, just only because my father is unknown to them.
I like him
So good
Such a humble being
Great, bro.
what an interesting man Thanks for the subtitles❤
Thank You❤️
Butting heads with your teachers. First sign of a legend!
I was first exposed to Carl Jung when I was in 9th grade and he took me on a journey that I still sail.
Me too!
This is great: The internet needs more content like this. Chapters and a transcript? I'm officially spoiled. ;) I "liked" the video and subscribed to your channel.
Wonderful
Thank you kindly :)
You only need to look into a dead man’s eyes to believe in the spirit
Let's be clear: Healthy masculine aggression, now a forbidden taboo, is accepted and integrated by Jung, the founder of much of current therapy.
They would expel him from the psychologist association today and smear him in the media and discard and mock his work if he was here today
@@gaxter12YUP. and thats crazy.. Very knowledgeable man indeed 🙌🙏🏻🥰🕉️🔱💖
Superb
30:20 - perfect!
What a mind.
As I now get nearer the door that takes us away from this life, i enjoy every day more and more...I have things to do...
jung strikes he as humble in his later years. I'm sure he mellowed with age and #grandkids, and great grand kids
He gives deeper personal vibes in various of his letters which were published in the two Letters volumes. Some jokes, some deep personal, some cutesy stuff. One example (a favourite of mine): Carl visited London UK in 1919 (44 years of age), and received a letter from his daughter Marianne, who was 9 years old. He wrote back, told her bought a doll, made in India from wood, that is a gift for her mum Emma. The style of the writing, the narrative, details, is very much father-to-9-year-old daughter.
I can't see eye to eye with the Guardian's criticism. Just a cursory exploration of Jung's complex ideas would last for way longer than the 40 minutes allotted to the interview. John Freeman's introduction to Man and His Symbols indicates that this programme was, to an extent, an exploration, to gauge at what level he should pitch that book.
That is interesting. It sounds vaguely familiar, I may have skimmed Freeman's intro of MaHS later, but not in depth. Perhaps we might find it interesting to see if John Freeman referenced Jung or his ideas in any other future works. More digging, ha! It was a fun exercise for this video.
There is some small niche for making new unique researched videos about Jung. :) The newspaper research yielded many more articles written about Jung, but out of context for this video itself. If memory serves, there were numerous ones on his trips to Africa, I think because he was sponsored and taking-along a wealthy patron. Also a lot about Jung's passing in 1961. I have done back research on the modern antagonist Richard Noll.
Me too .I know what Love is. 99.9 people dont know it .

If I try to imagine the world without Jung's contribution; imagine my own life's journey without his awareness, I cannot. I just can't. I don't believe in the power of archetypes: I know.
Well said. This morning, on waking, something similar was on my mind. I'm dealing with major upheaval in my life, (causing delays in new stories/videos herein) but my thoughts were on consciousness as it stands in opposition to the operation of archetypes, but also how they can work together, if one knows more about the fundamentals of archetypes from Jung's view and his writings. I feel very similar as you. Spirit of the Depths is brutal but more to be hoped/sought than Spirit of the Times.
I had a professor do the same thing to me in a English composition class, had a term paper on the themes of Edgar Allen Poe, the asshole teacher thought I plagiarized from various sources, almost got kicked out of Edmonds Community College because of it.

Is that a smoke alarm chirping on low battery ? 😂
When neuroticism becomes your superpower and gave you a voice to help fellow neurotics for years to come.
Atman is Brahman . Sam Altman . Open A.I. No birth and therefore death. Loved to have heard Jung’s reaction, had he been alive, to A.I. And its connection to the collective unconscious and archetypes. Is A.I cognizant , will it ever be, of synchronicity and the like?
This would be even better with closed captioning.
Hey good point, thanks. I checked and they appear turned on but "unavailable". I changed the language from UK english to no-region general English, so ... who knows, maybe that will enable/re-enable. Cross fingers.
@edgeofthought Thanks so much!!
@@leegalen8383 just came back now and found that UA-cam has fixed it up, so thank you again for your suggestion :)
He once treated King Charles3.
Smoking at 84 how wonderful
hahaha, it's true. but could be like those 90-somethings and centenarians that swear by having alcohol every day, as their key to longevity. I don't think Jung died from throat or mouth cancer. I know your point, only just saying it's what it is for him, plus at that time, 9 out of 10 doctors in America chose Camels cigarettes. :)
Creation itself knows? Can't exist in front without...shared "i" AM come forth!
He contributed a lot to the treatment of addiction and alcholism. Hes mentioned several times in the Big Book of ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS & NARCOTIS ANONYMOUS.
Unique accent
Lots of older Germans speak English like that
Wow it's a miracle to me this man was caught on film. Why I never thought to look is beyond me. Incredible mind. Amazing video - thanks to you!!
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
i.e. (id est) does not mean "for example" (that would be e.g., or exempli gratia). It means "that is."
Ha! Thanks. I appreciate the insight. Do you have any thoughts on hoc est? It is in enough latin that I read, and in my head, and with studying on hīc/hoc/haec and such, hoc est treads the meaning of "that is". I don't think of i.e. as latin, but rather english "in example".
You may find in other videos, multiple times I've pronounced "etcetera" as "et ketera" and then correct myself for the audience to english pronunciation.
