- This dialouge was written down by kierah16. She has her own channel here on youtube. Thank you very much, Kierah16.
Interviewer: I know that you say death is psychologically just as important as birth and like it is an integral part of life, but surely, it can't be like birth if it is an end. Can it?
Jung: Yes. If it is an end and there we are not quite certain about this end because we know that there are these pecular faculties of the psyche- that it isn't entirely confined to space and time. You can have dreams or visions of the future. You can see around corners and such things. Only igonrants deny these facst (ja - german). Its quite evident that they do exist and have existed always. Now these facts show that the psyche- in part, at least- is not dependent on these confinements. And then what? When the psyche is not under that obligation to....live in time and space alone- and obviously, it doesn't. Then, in .. to that extent, they psyche is not submitted to those laws and that means a..a practical continuation of life of a sort of psychical existence beyond time and space.
Interviewer: Do you- yourself believe that death is probably the end or do you believe....
Jung: Well, I can't say - wissen Sie ? (german translated wold be: you see ?)- the word "believe" is a difficult thing for me. I don't "believe"; I must have a reason for a certain hypothesis. Either I know a thing; and when I KNOW it, I don't need to believe it. If I- I don't allow myself, for instance, to believe a thing just for sake of believing it. I can't believe it! But when there are sufficient reasons for a certain hypothesis, I shall accept these reasons naturally. And to say "We have to recon with the possibility of [so and so]." You know?
Interviewer: Well...now you told us that we should regard death as being a goal and to stray away from it is to evade life and life's purpose. What advice would you give to people in their later life to enable them to do this when most of them must, in fact, believe that death is the end of everything?
Jung: Well...you see I have treated many old people and its quite interesting to watch what their conscious doing with the fact that it is apparantly threatened with the complete end. It disregards it. Life behaves as if it were going on and so I think it is better for old people to live on...to look forward to the next day; as if he had to spend centuries and then he lives happily, but when he is afraid and he doesn't looks forward; he looks back. He petrifies. He gets stiff and he dies before his time, but when hes living on, looking forward to the great adventture that is ahead, then he lives. And that is about what your concious is intending to do. Of course it is quite obvious that we're all going to die and this is the sad finale of everything, but never-the-less, there is something in us that doesn't believe it, apparently, but this is merely a fact, a psychological fact. Doesn't mean to me that it proves something. It is simply so. For instance, I may not know why we need salt, but we prefer to eat salt too because we feel better. And so when you think in a certain way, you may feel considerably better. And I think if you think along the lines of nature, then you think properly
Jung was a courageous genius, he went above and beyond Psychology.
Hero worship much?
john miller why do you care?
Beyond? Nah. He understood
There is nothing "beyond psychology"... psychology has exposed many beliefs as human weakness.
@Carson Lee In other words, Jung envisioned the mind from the perspective of the brain, and then imagined a soul, just like every other human has. The difference being that he had the intellect to make sense of it all.
Seeing death as a "goal" is probably the best summation of what we perceive as mortality that I've come across. Death is simply the completion of A cycle, not THE cycle. Almost a graduation, if you will. The body is a vehicle, a conductor of consciousness, not conciousness itself, as a car is to the driver. Eventually the car breaks down and runs no more, at which point the "driver" moves onto a new vehicle, or is liberated to walk on foot if they choose. Death is just a transition point between two different realities.

Does it mean that we reincarnate? I don’t like living. Too much problems.
@@kietzonpango2734 The problems are lessons to be learned that we take with us. We were before this world, and will be after we're done here. It's not a question of "reincarnation". What you are will go on, yes. It's a question of whether you'll be back HERE or not. That probably depends on how well you did at "school".
How do you know this??
I showed this to someone and he said, 'this guy is just speculating'. I read some comments that say 'this is his opinion'. Opining and speculating is exactly what Jung is not doing. He is simply acknowledging facts about the psyche. His understanding of the nature of the psyche was profoundly keen. Long live this mystic.
100% speculating when you think the psyche is anything beyond the mere functioning of your conscious brain.
There is no evidence that a psyche remains after death and therefore a belief in it should be reserved until evidence is provided.
❤❤❤
When i die one of two things will happen: Complete blackness and no consciousness for eternity, or maybe I am a spirit moving to another dimension, either way it is a win win situation for me. :)
In the long run you won’t even know... so it’s pointless to think about.
iknow! I don’t believe there is hell or heaven ITS WRONG MORALLY AND DOES NOT MATCH REASON
I think you go to the place where archetypes live when you die, because they are in the deep uncouncious aren't they? So even if you go black totally uncouncious technically you are at the bird place of the archetypes
@Mr. X To what extent do you believe your mind won't be there? You believe you will have no remembrance, no ability to decipher reality using the "tools" we use now to understand the world? If that's the case, then that's some incredible justification for a very narcissistic view of the world.
Same as before birth
The death of a cloud is the birth of rain,the death of rain is the birth of a cloud.
There is no beginning and there is no end.
Insightful, but something must have proceeded the cloud’s birth. :)

You mean, evaporation-condensation-precipitation, don't you? It's physics, not psychology. Besides the cycle can be broken by cold temperatures. All cycles can be broken.
@@NOCXCIDEI was just pointing out the poor usage of the water cycle as an analogy to the life cycle of a human mind. A human mind evolves from sensory input and experiences, and it vanishes when the brain dies. There is no cycle. Just a beginning and an end. We are not eternal beings. Only an emotional idiot would assume that we are.
@@MrAirJacobs Clouds are not born, they are formed from water vapor as it cools and condenses. What precedes the formation of clouds is evaporation of water into the atmosphere. Condensation and evaporation are controlled by temperature and atmospheric density.
Jung was never affraid to include God in his equations. He was a great philosopher (and not just a psychologist).
my dad who passed away not long ago communicates with me with signs so i know that there s life after death . it is my experience i don t expect anyone to believe me .
My relationship with with my father grew much deeper after he died. Through dreams he seems much more aware and loving. He has told me many things including when to buy certain stock. Once in a dream he looked at me and said "Don't be afraid of dying".
@@wiatr2752 I agree Wiatr. They have always happened to me. It's always been hard to be understood. When I was 19 I read Memories Dreams and Reflections by Jung and felt someone understood.
I’m glad you don’t. Because they won’t.
And that kind of thing is not what Jung is talking about either.
Bullshit
It was in interstellar. Can I ask you how he communicates with you? And how do you know?
Consciousness actually never comes into existence, is never limited to time and space to begin with.
This is what Jung is tentatively implying; there is a part of the psyche that is not limited by time and space. Yet, its a lot more than a part.
Alex Prieto if you believe this don't watch Jung Videos, he's a self confessed theist. Go to the ordainary wisdom of scientific materialism.. there are plenty of exponents of that stuff out there..
Rupert Sheldrake's The Science Delusion is very enlightening about the materialist straitjacket that modern science finds itself in. There is a great deal that indicates, as Jung also does, that materialism does not provide an adequate explanation. I was pleased that he mentions JW Dunne's An Experiment With Time. Having read that as a fourteen- or fifteen-year-old I used to write my dreams down every morning for two or three months and review them every day to see what predictions there had been. Perhaps Jung's greatest strength (apart from his intelligence and imagination) was his ability to perceive: he did not dismiss evidence because it did not fit in with received opinion.
Ego is the reason we believe death is not an end, nothing more.
Jung was wrong about the final catastrophe
power.
Ego does not come into it.
Whenever we had less we were able to create more thoughts, more stuffs, more books etc
Now we do have much more
We are absolutely spoiled we can't even think properly. Thank Jung very much
What if death is to be the ultimate experience of Life ..... the thing most fear, maybe the greatest experience of all.
We have all experienced death before, how else are we to know that this is life
If you're Christian, yes.
I mean I’ve heard people be feeling good when they die
You were dead before you were born. Don't you remember how painless it was? So much easier than being alive... yet we persist in pretending we don't know.
@@johnglynhughes4239 what if we were alive? Many possibilities
Cuanto mas profundo es mi vinculo con este magnifico ser y mas llego a entenderle,mejor me comprendo a mi mismo.Gracias,sr.C.G.Jung...
God bless this great man
thanks for putting this together
I don't believe...I know. 💗
Thank-you for this. I found it very interesting. A simple and clear and revealing explanation.
No it wasn't.... you do not understand the human mind at all. This man's observations of the human mind are just as compromised as that of any other God believer.
"For instance, I may not know why we need salt, but we prefer to eat salt too because we feel better. And so when you think in a certain way, you may feel considerably better. And I think if you think along the lines of nature, then you think properly."
I find this to be the most profound part of his opinion, since it touches at something that we don't, scientifically, regard to be a 'vital nutrient' of our existence. Meaning that, accordance with life and experiencing our 'spiritual nature' might vivify us in a way that is as real as how the nutrients fuel our cell's mechanisms. And that one day we might find this 'pathway' and recognize its need for 'proper nutrition'.
Very well said. I especially like the last sentence.
Get rid of the music!!!
Thank you Kierah for the transcript of this interview. Wow, that was an awful lot of work. Great job. :)
Carl Jung was a genius and thus much misunderstood by the establishment and the scientific community of his era. He filled the gap beetween objective, scientific (rational) thought and subjective, spiritual (soul) experience.
Although he has passed away for more than five decades, his seminal works are still alive. His concepts about life, death, the beyond, symbols and archetypes are very inspiring to people who are not confined within the realm and boundaries of material existence.
Thank you for the transcription, it was very helpful.
Sensational mind!
I see your point but I think that like everything else - balance is the key. In fact, I happen to understand (this is MY knowing) that this is the main reasons why we exist. To bring oneness; balance and harmony one all planes of conciousness. There is nothing wrong with focusing on all elements (multi-tasking so to speak) that govern our existence and death is just as key to these equasion as life.
Amen, that's exactly what he did. He united the concepts of feelings, the language of the soul, with "knowledge", rationality of the rational mind (or ego). Of course this holistic view is not recognised by the objective, scientific world... Im currently taking my Bsc in psychology, and my teachers constantly shut me up when I introduce Jung's ideas in seminars and lectures "those ideas don't belong here..." very sad but true.
You should continue..we need more jung
Thank you for the translation.
@Phranky I had major goosebumps reading this. I have not had a death experience but I feel that through certain experiences I feel that it is a glimpse into something that I have long forgotten. I hate to say it but i had done saliva and EVERYTIME I would do it I would go to a place that I feel i have long forgotten, it feels so fimiliar but it is no where I have been that I can remember. It has pieces of my memories of certain landmarks, its as if it was my dream living environment, my heaven.
We are born once to our knowledge, but we will all be reborn again & again. The body we have now dies, it rots into dust, and our consciousness continues to thrive on another level, and when the time is right, we come back to this physical dimension to grow as a person, and learn life lessons & evolve all over again...
Beautiful and I agree to what he states.
Excellent video, thanks for posting, much appreciated : )
One day, I hope, we will be able to fully comprehend the mystery of life, and answer to this question. But your point makes sense, indeed.
It is really something to see people act as if they are worthy, just and substantial enough to comment on and object to someone who experienced and knew an amount they could not even possibly imagine...
It is amazing how some people cannot accept that those are opinions of others; not substantiated scientific claims. Take them as such.
Who says they aren't geniuses?
How do you know what people know or don't. He's a human just like every human out there, with thoughts and ideas.
Jean-Mouloud De La ziz. I agree with you there. Although I do share the same ideas as Jung, but everyone is entitled to, and capable of understanding their reality.
Niko I'd like to know if consciousness survives after death or not, but i don't. I might be capable of understanding what's going on but i don't. We can only investigate things within the range of our human capabilities which might not even be real. Existence, Earth, the creation, everything is a complete mystery to me.
thank you. thank you for your contribution to phylosophy.
Yes, Jung traveled and studied quite a few religious texts, including the Bhagavad Gita and the Egyptian Book of the Dead.
Love it guys.. Such brilliant minds out there that are open to ideas. This may be our biggest gift and maybe.... A reason why death is not the end. I have heard many times of great people of history having giant leaps of innovation of which they are not aware pf the source. Again, my belief is that we all know what death is like but have no idea our native state.
I appreciate the kind words ^^
Хвала ти Kierah16 за транскрипт.
Thank you Kierah16 for transcript.
I agree :) However, from this point of view it looks so incomprehensible and consequently so frightening.
We are spirits in a material world.
Great song
correction: we are material beings in a materal world.
I'd love for the background music to be gone, but thanks for posting this!
Extraordinary being, God bless Dr. Jung.
It’s a pity we have to die to really find out( whether there is life after death).
To look at life as though it is not merely a battle that is threatened by a complete end. But to live life and enjoy it, looking forward to each day as though it were going to go on forever, for milliuniums, and then it negates that fear of annihlation, that may or may not be annihlation. Look forward and not look back, for whoever is looking back continually, is bound to be falling and tripping as they are going foward.
What is the background music on this video? I love it so much - can you give me a title?
Great Man.
As in we won't shy away from it, but use it as another part in understanding the individual and the human condition.
I want to tell you, my dear fellow human, that I was among those who liked your comment, your beautiful lines I shall say.
We are living and controlled by words! ......Break free and experience life from the heart, fear will become only that what it is....A word!
Anyone who tells you they know what happens after you die is most likely not entirely sure. All we can do is tentatively step forward, like a candle in the dark.
Or like a fart in the wind
I KNOW BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN DEAD
Raj Singh The dead are conscious of nothing . It’s like sleeping . That’s why there will be a resurrection
Faith in life after death is like that feeling you get when you stand at the edge of a 500foot cliff. We all back up, don't we. If not right away, when I put my hand on your back you will. Reality is what kills us and what keeps us alive. Belief in God can do nothing to help you understand this, but it can interfere with that process.
It's not like we have any choice! Lol
What a great and lovely man he was.
I believe that concepts of god and heaven are interpretations of experiences that are common throughout all of the human race. These aren't 'near-death' experiences but rather glimpses into something that you've long forgotten; the true nature of reality. This will seem like spiritual rubbish to most but to people who've experienced it, it is very real (probably more so than the world we live in).
Jesus answered, “My Kingdom is not an earthly kingdom. If it were, my followers would fight to keep me from being handed over to the Jewish leaders. But my Kingdom is not of this world.”
Which broader interview/video is this extracted from ? Does anyone know ?
@ilkkavu Voltaire: "It is no more surprising to be born twice than to be born once."
Furthermore, how do you explain the many channels who receive messages from deceased people? Real channels receives profound messages from the deceased that only they and the living would know. I myself had an experience when a murdered cousin, come to me in the astral realms and gave me a message to tell his mother. The message didn't make sense to me but when I his mom; she cried tears of joy because she got validation that he survived death because that message was a secret-code between them.
@DeMarkieSade I also believe in Jung's theory of synchronicity...that everything is connected in some way that is not obvious, but subtle. Yet still connected because it is supposed to be so. thus to shape and mold each individual, society, and the eb and flow of the world. an obscure, and oblivious to many, structure that appears as randomness or tumultuousness, but which is really an ordered cohesion structured purpose.
Thank you for posting this, it brings me great joy to hear optimism in his uncertainty. He is a genius because he acknowledged his limitations without giving away the birth right of his reason. Personally, I am always seeking to connect what I like to call The Great Electro-Magnetic Continuum to a humanist spirituality. I think Christ and the Bhudda may have been tuned into that particular electro-magnetic frequency that seems to allude me and so many others. They may have had the advantage of
Dude. I've been thinking the same thing! The prophets and many great people had the ability to "tap" a certain source of knowledge that only few could perceive. I think it was the collective unconscious that they tapped into.
Oh my, this is the weirdest thing. I was just about to says, "He seems like a wise man," then I saw your comment DMC! That word doesn't get tossed around much these days.
Possibly, though I doubt it is that simple either because even nature isn't nearly as simple at it's simplest parts. Even atoms aren't just "empty space" as I was taught, they are neutrons, electrons, charges, and all manner of fantastic and extraordinarily complex things. Are quarks and sub atomic matter the smallest or does it get infinitely smaller? Is it turtles all the way down? Fun to think about but no real answers, still. I do doubt death is the end, though.
Many people here think they know what happens after death, whether it's to believe nothing happens or that something happens, but I can tell that they simply don't know. Unless you have someone that has passed on relay messages to you in some way, or you have had an NDE, you don't know. But if you seek, you will find.
Phoneti physix DMT is a helluva drug
Phoneti physix 7 colors to the rainbow, add them all up and you get white light. Take them all away and you get darkness.
You do realise that all of those NDE are just "the brain doing stuff while dying" stuff right? NDE are bullshit, youre not dead while NDE. When you die, your brain is over thus your self awareness is gone. There is no more "you". You just experience life as a different being. Trully horrific eh? Go watch some /rgore videos and you will not stop crying before you pass away. Existence is evil and obligatory. Whatever denies free will is evil. Free will cannot exist, all of existence is evil. Cya
@ebowass I don't see the connection between "thinking small" and making the point that the title implies a quote from Jung when in fact this is not the case in fact I suspect a deliberate misquote-thats the only point I'm making here. I'm actually open to all the possibilities around death but it's really just speculation(to get back to Jung's point). We might just as well debate how many angels dance on pinheads. But in any case , we'll all get there soon enough-good luck.
@MrXephyr Jung was influenced by Pauli in his development of the concept, however, and Pauli became fascinated by it himself in turn, more precisely.
I wish he would turn his bloody radio off.
cagno1 it is most likely off now.
2 years later and it's still on.
Dear uploder!! please add subtitles in all of the Carl Jung's video...
One must temper his beliefs with large doses of reality. We all have two lives that are intertwined within the mind. The first being the physical life we live in this reality that we share with all other living creatures,, and the second being the imaginary, fictional character that we have created in the mind, who does not exist in the real world, but only in that story we write him into. Where these two meet is the doorway between reality and the imagination. When I was a child, I was convinced that I had the power to become weightless and fly above the trees,, only because I gave myself that power in my dreams. That was my introduction to the mind. Since that time I have found many answers to the mystery of "who" I am.
We are seeking our return back to the natural while perpetually and simultaneously moving further away from it. Intuitive introvert here. A life of suffering
I have had the almost exact thoughts based upon those principles interesting.
The reason is better than believing.
That's why Scarface (Al Pacino) said: "Any day above the ground is a good day".
I feel that before the reason, there is the need.
The need is responsible for the cause, the cause for the reason and the reason; for the need. Believe it or not.
Jung himself said it: "Symptoms are manifested by the cause, and the cause is a manifestation of the need".
Eliminating the need, would eliminate the cause & the symptoms.
He's also very good at english, belabouring the nuance of the word believe.
@paerarru I think that quite often a person, no matter how intelligent, is basically so identified with the ego that the thought of a "collective unconscious" is something he doesn't want to approach - it's annihilation of the ego in his mind. If one goes along in life self-identified as a river, defined by it's water and banks, the idea of entering into a vast ocean is too overwhelming to consider - it's less threatening, in a way, to just see it as a complete end. The ego is limits.
There is a study and a speculation, that the mind may have evolved to produce beautiful and euphoric hallucinations in people moments before death. Some people say that this may be in order to ease the fright and the natural discomfort of death
@baphomet257 so no one is allowed to make any claim at all, according to you, jezz. do i have to say "in my opinion" in every sentence that comes out of my mouth???
The truth of the matter is that 'knowing' about death or anything else for that matter,will not always come down to institutional or scientific proof. There are some things that will be an individualized knowing. MOST of us 'know' that there is something more to us and life because it's on a deeply intuitive level and science will NEVER prove that to anyone. Death is just as 'important' as life because both are of the same coin. So to just focus on one without the other is unwise.
True, kinda. The person dies. The physical becomes something else. But we haven´t really got the hang of what is "physical" quite yet though. We don´t even really know what life is. It will be interesting so see where science will get us in the future in this question. A lot of the things we can now measure and understand, we can understand because people were curious and believed in something more than what our eyes could see.
I wish I was never born never could fit in this world really looking forward to the end almost everyday
Dear Aleks,
Once in the dark of night,
Inflamed with love and yearning, I arose
(O coming of delight!)
And went, as no one knows,
When all my house lay long in deep repose
All in the dark went right,
Down secret steps, disguised in other clothes,
(O coming of delight!)
In dark when no one knows,
When all my house lay long in deep repose.
And in the luck of night
In secret places where no other spied
I went without my sight
Without a light to guide
Except the heart that lit me from inside.
It guided me and shone
Surer than noonday sunlight over me,
And led me to the one
Whom only I could see
Deep in a place where only we could be.
O guiding dark of night!
O dark of night more darling than the dawn!
O night that can unite
A lover and loved one,
Lover and loved one moved in unison.
And on my flowering breast
Which I had kept for him and him alone
He slept as I caressed
And loved him for my own,
Breathing an air from redolent cedars blown.
And from the castle wall
The wind came down to winnow through his hair
Bidding his fingers fall,
Searing my throat with air
And all my senses were suspended there.
I stayed there to forget.
There on my lover, face to face, I lay.
All ended, and I let
My cares all fall away
Forgotten in the lilies on that day.

Lovrock thanks that was beautiful ...
Jung seems eminently practical, a real down-to-earth guy.
I agree the word believe no longer exist but to (be live) or to live life as to be, truth
One thing is certain, we have all experienced death.. can you remember before you were born, then that is what it is like after your life is done. I know that people may say this is an extreme simplification but, most complex things in nature are built on simplistic forms that are made complex through a simplistic structures building upon each other to form new structures and iterative processes. There is a secret that many have but few can tell.
Andy Meng before you were born you were neither dead or alive.
@MrXephyr No, it assigns to synchronicity nothing more than our tendency to seek patterns in things. That is not a modern interpretation, Jung's original interpretation has only changed in that Jungian psychologists have expanded on the idea.
@1HumanKind U seem confused, The Problems with the Bohr Model:
It violates the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle because it considers electrons to have both a known radius and orbit,provides an incorrect value for the ground state orbital angular momentum.It makes poor predictions regarding the spectra of larger atoms. It does not predict the relative intensities of spectral lines. does not explain fine structure and hyperfine structure in spectral lines,does not explain the Zeeman Effect.
@AnnoyingTypoSyndrome beautiful analogy.
When he says to look forward to each new day(rather than loooking back and becoming stiff and dying before your time) He is right, even at my age, the supple age of 21 i look backwith fear, how much longer might i live ive been here all this time, sort of thing ( doesn't matter if there are 80 year olds- 21 years is still a longggg time)...but as soon as u look forward, life seems to float along...LOOK AT WHAT CAN BE ACHIEVED, not what has been Imo
10 years goes by fast.
@@baahbyjoe4850 It's insane. And the next ten's gna go even faster.
Each one to his own!!! Something beyond! Has to be.....!
@1HumanKind I'm not desperate lol, I'm just trying to figure things out like everyone else, and enjoying the beauty of life in the process. I'm actually a student and my studies do go beyond the internet, please don't make assumptions. I don't know if I would agree that Neils Bohrs is "current knowledge" and I haven't read much about Dennet, but I do believe that I have a basic understanding of hist stance. Fully believing in science isn't much different than fully believing in religion.
I am alive because, and only because, other lives have ended -- that I may borrow from them their essences and energy. As such, when I my time comes, something else will be born and make use of my essences and energy. The cycle of nature will continue long after I am gone, as it did long before I was born. There is nothing to fear, but -- there is much to accept and embrace. I accept my demise as I accept my birth, and I embrace them both as I embrace the universe from which I came.
@Phranky Yep, you have to experience it and once you are made aware of it there is no going back.
I'm sure there are alot of people who would wish death were the end, an easy way out of everything they had done, only those who accept what they have done, and accept that it was wrong and really try to live well from then on, making mistakes here n there along the way and being truly sorry, they will find peace, and those who wish to have the easy way out will not.
He's not saying "death is not the end." He's saying that many people reap both psychological and, by extension, emotional and physical benefit from believing that existence continues after death. The "psychological fact" he addresses is that so many people he has interviewed are so firmly convinced that death is not the end that they conduct their lives on the assumption that they will continue to exist in some form (hopefully a pleasant one) after they die. He is saying that people who are discouraged and distressed at death being the end of their existence may actually die before they otherwise might, were they to believe in an afterlife and reap the psychological and emotional benefits of looking forward to a continued existence - perhaps a reunion with deceased loved ones and the like.
My take: belief is powerful stuff, folks. A thing doesn't have to be "true" or empirically shown to be true to be believed and to influence people's lives, choices, and attitudes in powerful ways. Belief has been the cause of great goodness and also horrendous atrocities and abuse. If you think about it, every one of us has a set of beliefs and assumptions that we operate with, which gives our lives meaning and purpose. You might think that your church, your political party, your favorite media or talk radio host, or your nation is the only good or "true" one, but a lot of other people think the same of their beliefs.
Ideally, our beliefs give our lives meaning and purpose, help us be productive and helpful members of society, and allow others (who may be quite different from us) to do the same.
But he is saying death isn't the end. Or at least there is reason to think so. He brings up his concept of Synchronicity to show that the psyche operates outside of space/time and so space/time is obviously no restriction for the psyche. So if the psyche isn't restricted by space/time then maybe it persists after death.
Jonathon E.
I think your reading a lot of that into his words, sounds to me like he’s saying death might not be the end.
Carl Jung had a full blown near death experience in 1944 and very firmly believed in an afterlife. He wrote a whole book about the experience.
@@michaeldecarli5243 could you please be the book?
I think we do have a certain pre-chewed idea of death. Some of us have redefined the concept or word, others haven't. For instance in tarot, the card " the death" means a change. Those "silly" cards are aparently not that silly.
i am only 14 and death is waiting around every corner. i am scared out of my mind about dying. afterlife is all i got to cling on for my life.
Buck up lad, everyone dies. None existence is a walk in the park compared to life.
As Jung said.. his clients that die the most are the ones that stress for death.. relax..

He never says death is not the end. He says we are uncertain.
Death is when we wake up from the dream we are currently living in...but we never think of this life as being a dream because we can only remember seconds of the dreams we dream at night...so society never considers that this life is a dream since they consider a dream to last seconds, but this life is actually a second when viewed from the highest level .The path towards God is through ourselves...that's the meaning of life...to get to the final destination which is where everything was created
I 'know' you bro. I've seen things that can only be understood by experience.
most people dont get it. I can tell them miracles, and they just pass over it like it was nothing....
Its comprehensive to me too and I`m sure to most if not everyone else.
Some people say death will have exactly the same properties as before you were born so again just as you weren`t aware of anything before you were born so you are most likely to be after you are gone.
Allow me to quote a line from the Monty Python film Life of Brian.
You know..You come from nothing,you`re going back to nothing.What have you lost?Nothing ^.^
What is the classical music playing?
Karl Gustav Jung is great psyhologyst and also philosopher.
The first law of thermodynamics is that energy, which is what the soul or inner working of the human body is comprised, cannot be created, nor can it be destroyed, but it can only change forms. when the conduit harnessing the energy is destroyed, the energy leaves the faulty or dilipidated Conduit or power housing and goes into something else.
It finds another form, or conduit. it is waht happens when you get shocked, the energy is leaving its secure housing and enters into you.
@MrXephyr You are, however, well aware that Pauli himself was deeply fascinated by the idea of Synchronicity and had a decades-long dialogue with Jung over not just that but other topics such as the unus mundus conception of reality.
@MrXephyr You mean the book that was a result of Jung's collaboration with Wolfgang Pauli, Nobel Laureate in physics?
EVADING THE QUESTION
My point about astral projection more along the lines of likely proof that conciousness does continue outside of the body, hense proof that we are more than just flesh and bones. That perhaps when the flesh and bones ceases - that perhaps the astral body is a sign or proof that another part of our 'self' does surive death. Scientists has proven that we are electromagnetic energy centers and even 'they' know that energy never dies; that it only transforms into something else.
