“Do not compare, do not measure. No other way is like yours. All other ways deceive and tempt you. You must fulfil the way that is in you. “ - Carl Jung
@@Coffeemancer Exactly what yaknow said. Hatred is a way created by other people, probably due to the shadow Carl believed in that Sisyphus described. Part of finding "your" way would presumably involve recognizing that the external hatred you have is just as much, if not more so, a hatred of those same, shameful traits you fear you have deep inside you.
lol, yes. I understand. I found Jung last year and life might have been easier if I had read my Grandfather's books on his desk, instead of the dusty historical romantic fiction and Shakespeare, First. Maybe a Phoenix rising from the ashes should look to today and not the past (?). I like your user name Emerset Farquharson and you have an elegant way with words.
@@RedCabinet4793 Philosophy and psychology provide you with a framework and a vocabulary for understanding something that your unconscious (or "the collective unconscious") may have yet been unable to surface or convincingly express to your conscious. Studying philosophy requires you to be willing to suspend old foundational beliefs, turn inward to where no thing exists, and shine a light on what would be called "ego". This process might be mistaken for "sanity drifting". It would be insanity to see a glimpse of the truth and avoid exploring further. Or it would be insanity to confound the natural process of individuation with noise and allow your ship to sink because of it. Don't worry, both of these insanities are practically status quo in 2019 Western culture. Which in itself is insane. So stripping yourself of that insanity might make you feel temporarily insane. That's worth it.
Jung having his neurosis during World War 1 while also having visions of Europe soaked in blood before is no coincidence in my opinion. This man was so deeply tapped into the collective unconscious world he often described. Maybe only paralleled by Nietschze who would predict the horrors of the 20th century decades before they happened.
The channel "Meme Analysis" regularly references Jung and while the channel has a comedic tinge to it, I'd argue Meme Analysis is rather good at tapping into this "collective unconscious" for his analyses into memes. For example, he was explaining why slime toys are so popular and his explanation was so simple and sensible: Kids can stimulate their eyes and ears with video games all day, but it never stimulates their sense of touch. Slime toys satisfy this deprived sense.

"You must fulfill the way that is in you" Jung is quoted at the end. An excellent overview of a complicated man. I had no idea his youth was so strange. Jung, I think, is weird but has some interesting theories that are beyond science and beyond provability.
Jung I think didn't slip into a psychosis but jumped into it willingly "for science." At least that was his original intention; to explore the unconscious thoroughly and not leave any stone unturned, but he used unscientific methods such as ancient religious rituals and meditation in an attempt to achieve a sort of state of mind in which his unconscious could be explored. He called his journey a "divine madness" and said if anyone doubts the divine madness let them judge the fruit of it. At the beginning of the red book he describes the shedding of his pursuit of the "spirit of this age" which was manifest in his desire to be academic and scientific. Essentially he realized that that spirit was very limiting; that he was approaching his limit of this kind of understanding, and decided to leap off the other side of the limits of our understanding into madness and the absurd, where he would discover truths that he could not find through scientific or necessarily provable means. He spent I think 25 days in what he called "the desert of his soul" before descending into hell within himself; recovering God from the depths therein. Essentially responding to Nietzsche's theory that God is dead and we killed him by saying yes this is true in the spirit of this age we have done so, but that upon abandonment of the spirit of the age that led us to kill God, if we explore our depths we will find the bloodied God there at the very bottom of our pit; in experiencing our collective darkness and not shying away from it. And he says the way of Christ is what leads to what is to come (death) and that no one can be spared that path. "But what happened to my day? Torches were kindled, bloody anger and disputes erupted. As darkness seized the world, the terrible war arose and the darkness destroyed the light of the world, since it was incomprehensible to the darkness and good for nothing anymore. And so we had to taste Hell. I saw which vices and virtues of this time changed into, how your mildness became hard, your goodness became brutality, your love became hate, and your understanding became madness. Why did you want to comprehend the darkness! But you had to or else it would have seized you. Happy the man who anticipates this grasp. Did you ever think of the evil in you? Oh, you spoke of it, you mentioned it, and you confessed it smilingly, as a generally human vice, or a recurring misunderstanding. But did you know what evil is, and that it stands precisely right behind your virtues, that it is also your virtues themselves, as their inevitable substance? You locked Satan in the abyss for a millennium, and when the millenium had passed, you laughed at him, since he had become a children's fairy tale. But if the dreadful great one raises his head, the world winces. The most extreme coldness draws near." My experience when reading Jung's red book is that he is handing me unraveled mysteries on a silver platter but when I pick them up to consume them they dissolve and fall through my fingers like sand. When you take any snippet like this out of context people may even get the wrong idea because it fits like a puzzle piece into the whole. It's terribly difficult to describe the message he creates because it is coming from his enigmatic stream of consciousness in this self proclaimed "divine madness" that is hardly palatable for any "normal" framework of conversation. But he says of the red book that that experience was the initial source of all of the rest of his life's works, and it has profound meaning whether you choose to "believe" in it or not or accept it as true or not.
His ideas(not merely theories because of historical basis) are beyond only materialistic science but definitely not beyond provability because there are advance non-western cultures that are still alive

Hey you're an incredible artist. Glad you are wanting to pursue to try to understand hard concepts for improving your life. Your drawings are great, man keep it up.
With Coronavirus I found myself sitting in basically the same room for 2+ weeks and I felt like I was actually losing my mind. In that time I firmly and epiphanically landed on the idea of what I later learned was philosophical idealism after being a devout externalist who's studied physics for most of my life, and upon that realisation I honestly felt like my sanity was slipping away. For days afterwards I needed only several hours of sleep to feel rested, and I suffered from sleep paralysis for the first time in my life after waking to whispers in my ear. I had ideas about maths, these ideas about philosophy and psychology, ideas about physics; they felt so profound and motivating, but I had nobody around me to dicuss them with. I noticed that without the confirmation or validation of 'other people', given idealism, you really cannot discern such feelings from utter nonsense; no amount of rereading your own words can ever prove that with comforting certainty to you in such a state of mind. I spoke with my family about everyday matters whilst what felt like the shameful tumour of insanity hummed inside my head, and eventually I sought some external validation from people I felt I could trust. They actually granted me some relief from the fear, but now I almost wish that I didn't resort to that. Through this experience I internalised that language isn't as strong a foundation as I once thought it was. We've hijacked our capacity to recognise sounds, exploited our capacity to produce them, and created this mass game of forced imagination that we call language. The 'realest' thing there is is our direct experience, but now I'm taking advantage more of the 'unreal' experiences that the imagination offers, and I'm finding that my dreams are becoming more vivid and identifiable amongst other things. I take the time to see things I haven't seen before, notice smells I haven't smelled before, notice the feeling of the ground on my feet, the shroud of depression I feel over my head when I'm with my family contrasted with the contentness and warmth I feel around others, listening to how sounds change as I turn my head from the source; yesterday I stared up into the blue sky and imagined that actually I were pinned to a terrestrial ceiling by gravity above an infinite abyss and that's a feeling that only one's imagination can grant you. 10/10 would lose my mind again, I can see why Jung did what he did.
I've been going into those states since I was about 16 and it gets very very uncomfortable after awhile. It's all really stimulating and mind opening until you just cant shut it off and you're sitting there at work and you can't pay attention because the computer screen changes dimensions and forms patterns or you start to feel visualize the dark muses that whisper your darkest thoughts to you
I found Carl Jungs teachings through Tool's music. I am so thankful Maynard Keenan taught me about this man and his ideas. I am studying philosophy in school now because of how effective the application of Jungs work is in my life. Right next to Nietzsche and John Ruskin, Jung is my favorite.
@@nomad639 Elaborate or I'm deeming your underwhelming statement one of a charlatan. I've listened to a lot of Peterson's opinions and ideas and he's anything but. Of course, as with all opinions its destined to be disagreed with, but how does this equate to being a charlatan? He's read Jung and gave accurate representation of his philosophy, and his personal opinions on it, this does not merit a charlatan. He disagrees with all the identity politics, and infringement on freedom of speech, I agree with the majority of his opinions under this, so if this makes him a charlatan I'm one as well.
I have never read anything by Jung but have been recommended his books time and time again. What I find incredibly fascinating is that during my time of self exploration I have come to many of the same realisations mentioned in this video, yet free from anything to influence those ideas. This only further compounds the idea of the collective consciousness for me. I think I am going to get stuck in to some of his books and see how I can expand my own knowledge in this area
I had an awakening experience, or what the psychology world might deem “rapid personality change” 5 years ago. My whole family thought I’d lost my mind, but really, I found sanity. They were so worried about me though because I couldn’t articulate much of what I had now Known through no learning, or being taught, or ever even hearing terms for before. I had to go to a psych ward for four days. I explained to them the experience the best I could. When I got out, I Know for a fact that I was guided in some way to Jung’s work and he described SO well in worldly terms what I tried describing through my religious background. They were one and the same, but just two different throws of words used. Jung, in my opinion, is the MASTER at combining physical observation with the intangible side of Spirit. That which we experience, but can’t fully explain…he explains it so well. I already knew I wasn’t crazy, everyone around me started to see I had been given a massive gift when they figured out I wasn’t the only one who had ever woken up.
"Freud who had spent his career predicting the current trend in adult film.." I almost did a spit take when I heard that, hahaha. I'm definitely gonna quote that when appropriate from now on.
Seth Gilmore - On shrooms, you can better go out in nature and let go and be free and observe your own perceptions and thoughts than study someone else's teachings.
Know I'm a little late here, but psychoanalysis is frequently referred to in Continental Philosophy, being one of the areas that Continental Philosophers tap into.
For anyone curious on other Jungian works, there is, "The Undiscovered Self', that is a brief but enlightening read on society, religion, and their connection to the individual. There is also a collective works by a gentleman named Anthony Storr. It is very fittingly called, "The Essential Jung". Happy studying!
There's a book about Kundalini Yoga and depth psychology, which is a transcription of Jung's lectures, arranged by Sonu Shamdasani. The best book, I know of, to understand the link between the west and the mysterious east! Really a mindblowing read
I have self recognize these levels of contentiousness through deep inward reflection, and relate to Carl Jung's thought process. I would feel privileged if able to further this understanding of the universe within my lifetime, and construct the concepts in a way for others to grow from.
This was really cool man, I'm really into Jung and read and think about his ideas daily (or all day rather), you represented his weirdness pretty well hehe, subbed!
I'm about to watch..mostly because i feel like i heard two "jung things" lately from other videos..either Watts or Mckenna..One might've been specifically on "jung as a shaman" So, I never got that vibe myself but find myself oddly curious to check this out. Just to ponder..and it seems to have a good thumbs up on the production. I think you're comment helped me jump in. Buffer finished..:)
There is only one way and that is my way. There is only one salvation and that is my salvation. What is to come will be created in me and from me. Hence look into myself. I must fulfill the way that is in me.
This channel was one of the biggest factors on moving me through depression. The J.P Sartre video helped me find me. I was stuck and nothing at the time in my life was there to direct me towards philosophy, and then I found your video on J.P. I know everything I'm saying is corny but this channel truly helped start the change in my life. I was on a 51/50 at rock bottom I was told I NEEDED to be on medication or I wouldn't be happy again, and now here I am, I feel amazing, I work out every day, my confidence is through the roof, and I have no issues with being alone for the past year I have been by my self with no social circle and I feel great
UA-cam algorithm nailed this one for me. I'm currently reading the red book (my first book of Jung's) I think I'm getting some of it. I can see a lot of links with that and stoicism (might be me projecting) but I guess the point of it is all religions and philosophies have similarities and principles that link to our archaic thoughts.
Well i've twice or more met what i could only descripe as tricksters or clowns. They somehow seemed far superior in their knowledge - not that the form of knowledge they posses is any of the sort of knowledge that we as people have. Despite this they only showed interest in making fun out of me while also showing interest in displaying their world to me. Very interesting experince.
It’s rather really vivid close-by manifestations of them, if we stick to Jung in trying to interpret whatever the fuck that really is. Archetype can’t be experienced or met directly due to its paradoxical nature - you either meet a mask formed by it or get under the influence and become a mask of it yourself. Neither is an archetype itself, both are always-already products.
You have to put into the conversation how thousands of years ago. These chemicals were tools for ancient structures and that in a hightened state of awareness and distractions from the 21st century.

I have seen some of your videos before but never checked out the channel. This is precisely what I want to see when I go onto youtube. Subscribed and looking forward for more :-)
Im being in contact with Jung's work for 2 years now. Ive never even came close to seeing a more accurate, beutifully written summary of his work. Im impressed, keep up the good work !
During college days, I don't give a damn about this man's name appearing frequently on my psychology book... Now that I am no longer schooling, I frequently encounter his theory in my daily life which is called "Synchronicity"
Awesome video, lately I was thinking to read some of the Jung's books, but i wasn't sure, but after this video I'm again really interested in him. Thx for the video and cheers from Serbia
Take my advice dont start with Jung's works immediately. Read Man and His Symbols first and/or Psychology of C.G Jung by Jolande Jacobi. Then read King, Magician, Warrior, Lover (this is by a Jungian psychologist from America) My point is starting with Jung is like going to the final boss without any upgrades you're gonna get demolished and barely understand anything. At least that was my experience. Good luck
I'm kinda freaking out over this video. I've never heard of this man before, but I have had these same ideas such as, ego and the self taught to me through an intense mushroom trip while meditating over a year ago. To come across these same ideas that I was exposed to, further deepens my belief of the collective unconscious.
I sometimes dreamt about the collective consciousness. Before I even knew what it was. Like a water vase that feeds the souls and minds of every human. The sounds of water crashing and wind whirling. Flowing and turbulent.
1. Wasn't ready for this level of awesome. 2. I've read loads of Jung and this video still nuanced frame of reference. & D. I successfully had multiple epiphanies from watching this (LOL) display of genious
I’ve never been able to find my shadow in my dreams, despite my trying sometimes. My nightmares typically, ever sense I was a kid, have been empty. And there is an intense fear that something is lurking, but never reveals itself.
"Fulfill[ing] the way that is in you" ha, prepare yourself for criticism, and prepare to receive "advice" and how to blend in back in with the rest of society.
"There is only one way and that is your way. There is only one salvation and that is your salvation. Why are you looking for help. Do you believe help will come from outside? What is to come will be created in you and from you, Hence look into yourself. Do not compare. Do not measure. No other way is like yours. All other ways deceive and tempt you. You must fulfill the way that is in you."
Bro, that transition between History and complex psychological theory took me by surprise 😂 My brain was like “what, i have to think hard now?!” 😂😎 Great video & thanks for the perspective
Your videos are so good. Absolutely great summaries of concepts and the founders, in such short frames of time. I really appreciate and thank you for them!
Yeah I wish I'd learned about Jung 15 years ago instead of now but I sure am glad I get to read him now, and honestly it was important for me to go through the whole existential crisis shit. Get the big stuff out of the way so I can enjoy the rest of my brief, absurd life to the best of my ability.
I think I've already had my creative psychoses stage... Sadly, I didn't accomplish a lot. Just a lot of introspection and the development of a crippling fear of death - along with still existing depression and anxiety. My thought process is a lot different now and I have a lot of empathy where I had very little before. I had a friend who I talked about a lot of this weird stuff with back then. That's how I came to know of Jung.
I suggest getting in tune with your spiritual self, to rid you of your fear of death, you've died countless times, only your ego dies, soul is eternal.
Remember this guy's theory is what the entire Persona video game series Metaverse is based on. That and the MBTI personality test (created by Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter Isabel.)
“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” “There's no coming to consciousness without pain.” “Like plants, so men also grow, some in the light, others in the shadows. There are many who need the shadows and not the light.” “Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” “To be "normal" is a splendid ideal for the unsuccessful.” “If the path before you is clear, you’re probably on someone else’s.” “Where your fear is, there is your task.” -Carl Jung
People also reach the realization via meditation or trance. But, without a well-experienced guide it's easy to project that shadow as an outside force (e.g. Satan according to evangelical Christians)
“Do not compare, do not measure. No other way is like yours. All other ways deceive and tempt you. You must fulfil the way that is in you. “ - Carl Jung

I take the time to see things I haven't seen before, notice smells I haven't smelled before, notice the feeling of the ground on my feet, the shroud of depression I feel over my head when I'm with my family contrasted with the contentness and warmth I feel around others, listening to how sounds change as I turn my head from the source; yesterday I stared up into the blue sky and imagined that actually I were pinned to a terrestrial ceiling by gravity above an infinite abyss and that's a feeling that only one's imagination can grant you. 10/10 would lose my mind again, I can see why Jung did what he did.
I've been going into those states since I was about 16 and it gets very very uncomfortable after awhile. It's all really stimulating and mind opening until you just cant shut it off and you're sitting there at work and you can't pay attention because the computer screen changes dimensions and forms patterns or you start to feel visualize the dark muses that whisper your darkest thoughts to you
“Intense intellectual activity and then neurosis” ah so that’s what happened.
I found Carl Jungs teachings through Tool's music. I am so thankful Maynard Keenan taught me about this man and his ideas. I am studying philosophy in school now because of how effective the application of Jungs work is in my life. Right next to Nietzsche and John Ruskin, Jung is my favorite.
Seconded

Been drawn to Jung through Peterson and I have to say, what an absolutely wonderful mad bastard.
soy
Yes!!
Mad Lad
You got to Jung, you don't need Peterson anymore, don't let his "followers" poison you
@@nomad639 Elaborate or I'm deeming your underwhelming statement one of a charlatan. I've listened to a lot of Peterson's opinions and ideas and he's anything but. Of course, as with all opinions its destined to be disagreed with, but how does this equate to being a charlatan? He's read Jung and gave accurate representation of his philosophy, and his personal opinions on it, this does not merit a charlatan. He disagrees with all the identity politics, and infringement on freedom of speech, I agree with the majority of his opinions under this, so if this makes him a charlatan I'm one as well.
I have never read anything by Jung but have been recommended his books time and time again. What I find incredibly fascinating is that during my time of self exploration I have come to many of the same realisations mentioned in this video, yet free from anything to influence those ideas. This only further compounds the idea of the collective consciousness for me. I think I am going to get stuck in to some of his books and see how I can expand my own knowledge in this area
I’ve tread a similar path, finding Jung only after reaching a couple of his conclusions.
same
I had an awakening experience, or what the psychology world might deem “rapid personality change” 5 years ago. My whole family thought I’d lost my mind, but really, I found sanity. They were so worried about me though because I couldn’t articulate much of what I had now Known through no learning, or being taught, or ever even hearing terms for before. I had to go to a psych ward for four days. I explained to them the experience the best I could. When I got out, I Know for a fact that I was guided in some way to Jung’s work and he described SO well in worldly terms what I tried describing through my religious background. They were one and the same, but just two different throws of words used. Jung, in my opinion, is the MASTER at combining physical observation with the intangible side of Spirit. That which we experience, but can’t fully explain…he explains it so well. I already knew I wasn’t crazy, everyone around me started to see I had been given a massive gift when they figured out I wasn’t the only one who had ever woken up.

"Freud who had spent his career predicting the current trend in adult film.." I almost did a spit take when I heard that, hahaha. I'm definitely gonna quote that when appropriate from now on.
I’m watching this on shrooms and I can’t say I really know what’s going on here.
Seth Gilmore how was the trip?
Philosophy is so deep on shrooms. Love it
Seth Gilmore - On shrooms, you can better go out in nature and let go and be free and observe your own perceptions and thoughts than study someone else's teachings.
Go outside next time, I remember going out at night alone to the park and had a blast, along with a breakdown.
Assigning greater meaning to these substances is psycho babble. Drugs are just fun.
I’m more of a philosophy guy than a psycho analyst but none the less great video man your channel is absolutely spectacular
The greatest and deepest philosophers are psychologists. Perhaps you will explore this for yourself. Blessings
And to you yourself friend ✌️😁 papa bless
@@matttucker3 yeah, I also had to come to terms with the fact that psychology is not a bogus field.
Know I'm a little late here, but psychoanalysis is frequently referred to in Continental Philosophy, being one of the areas that Continental Philosophers tap into.
There’s no psychology without philosophy and viceversa
The drawing of jung on the rock is really cute
Jung’s artwork in the “Reb book” is so beautiful.
Yes I love the reb book
@@____gone763 hahah dude no way he misspelled a word??/ and you're making fun of it????lmaooo duuude you're hilariouussssssss!!!!

"Perhaps we even recall a certain sex-obsessed founder of psychoanalysis." lol
tfw his subconscious predicted ww1
tfw jung subconsciously started ww1 by thinking it
For anyone curious on other Jungian works, there is, "The Undiscovered Self', that is a brief but enlightening read on society, religion, and their connection to the individual.
There is also a collective works by a gentleman named Anthony Storr. It is very fittingly called, "The Essential Jung".
Happy studying!
There's a book about Kundalini Yoga and depth psychology, which is a transcription of Jung's lectures, arranged by Sonu Shamdasani. The best book, I know of, to understand the link between the west and the mysterious east! Really a mindblowing read
Roger de Brantes interesting. I’ll look into it.
I have self recognize these levels of contentiousness through deep inward reflection, and relate to Carl Jung's thought process. I would feel privileged if able to further this understanding of the universe within my lifetime, and construct the concepts in a way for others to grow from.
@Timothy Lee Have you? I encourage you to make a point, or contribute a constructive thought for yourself.
Find god my friend he is not who you’re told he is

This is what's happening to me and it's amazing to see that some of the greatest minds have understood life the way I do.
This was really cool man, I'm really into Jung and read and think about his ideas daily (or all day rather), you represented his weirdness pretty well hehe, subbed!
I'm about to watch..mostly because i feel like i heard two "jung things" lately from other videos..either Watts or Mckenna..One might've been specifically on "jung as a shaman"
So, I never got that vibe myself but find myself oddly curious to check this out. Just to ponder..and it seems to have a good thumbs up on the production. I think you're comment helped me jump in. Buffer finished..:)
@@EsteemedBeansTV Glad my comment peaked your curiosity!
One of the greatest brilliants to ever grace this planet.
WE LOVE YOUR CHANNEL KEEP DOING IT, EVEN THE ARTICLES ARE AMAZING. KEEP DOING YOU
I find the music very emotional; on the other hand, I find the stick figures, hilarious. Lol.
Moonlight sonata- the music
Yes, indeed. A superb work. Combination of simple graphic depiction with meaningful content. You got this!

There is only one way and that is my way.
There is only one salvation and that is my salvation.
What is to come will be created in me and from me.
Hence look into myself.
I must fulfill the way that is in me.

Do you know.... DE WAE?
@@matekk3094 De wae is in you brotah. Not in the princess
Great video but I gotta say I love the line "Jung quickly "cured" himself of fainting"
Jung's philosophy of the self is a great help to handle depression tbh. Psychologists and therapists rarely help in my experience.
13 hours straight oh my god
Yh imagine that as a podcast 🤣
Pull that shit up Sigmund
This channel was one of the biggest factors on moving me through depression. The J.P Sartre video helped me find me. I was stuck and nothing at the time in my life was there to direct me towards philosophy, and then I found your video on J.P. I know everything I'm saying is corny but this channel truly helped start the change in my life. I was on a 51/50 at rock bottom I was told I NEEDED to be on medication or I wouldn't be happy again, and now here I am, I feel amazing, I work out every day, my confidence is through the roof, and I have no issues with being alone for the past year I have been by my self with no social circle and I feel great
No I didn't proof read, fuck off
@@fejea5685
UA-cam algorithm nailed this one for me. I'm currently reading the red book (my first book of Jung's) I think I'm getting some of it. I can see a lot of links with that and stoicism (might be me projecting) but I guess the point of it is all religions and philosophies have similarities and principles that link to our archaic thoughts.
"Those who look outside, dreams ; Those who look inside, awakes." - C.G. Jung
I think the entities people meet with in DMT relam are these Archetypes.
Mmm, en-titty's.
Just ask Joe Rogan
Well i've twice or more met what i could only descripe as tricksters or clowns. They somehow seemed far superior in their knowledge - not that the form of knowledge they posses is any of the sort of knowledge that we as people have. Despite this they only showed interest in making fun out of me while also showing interest in displaying their world to me. Very interesting experince.
It’s rather really vivid close-by manifestations of them, if we stick to Jung in trying to interpret whatever the fuck that really is. Archetype can’t be experienced or met directly due to its paradoxical nature - you either meet a mask formed by it or get under the influence and become a mask of it yourself. Neither is an archetype itself, both are always-already products.
You have to put into the conversation how thousands of years ago. These chemicals were tools for ancient structures and that in a hightened state of awareness and distractions from the 21st century. They tapped into something build into out dna for survival and progression. Fast forward 5,10,20 thousand years. Ect. Its your roomate chad pulls out a vape pen. To which you immidiately click 5 times and now i understand sacred geometry. It has no formal use. ( debateable)
I have seen some of your videos before but never checked out the channel. This is precisely what I want to see when I go onto youtube.
Subscribed and looking forward for more :-)
Thanks for uploading. I heard a lot about Carl Jung but I didn't know where to start. Your video gave me the best and simplest explanation of him.
I wonder if the older gentleman with the motorcycle in the photo that pops up when he says "midlife crisis" ever watched this and was like "HEY!"
I know some (older) wives who certainly did...lol
Was that Jordan Peterson?
shoutout for this dude who inspired the creators of persona
*Last Surprise starts playing*
another fantastic analysis, especially the ending.
“...he would spend his career predicting the trend in adult film”, nearly choked on my coffee to laugh 😂
Alot of similarities to taoism with that quote at the end there. Good stuff
Im being in contact with Jung's work for 2 years now. Ive never even came close to seeing a more accurate, beutifully written summary of his work. Im impressed, keep up the good work !
During college days, I don't give a damn about this man's name appearing frequently on my psychology book... Now that I am no longer schooling, I frequently encounter his theory in my daily life which is called "Synchronicity"
not a theory anymore. Just UA-cam "synchronization explained". there is scientific reasoning behind it
The quote at the end gave me chills and made my hair stand on end
Awesome video, lately I was thinking to read some of the Jung's books, but i wasn't sure, but after this video I'm again really interested in him.
Thx for the video and cheers from Serbia
Take my advice dont start with Jung's works immediately.
Read Man and His Symbols first and/or Psychology of C.G Jung by Jolande Jacobi.
Then read King, Magician, Warrior, Lover (this is by a Jungian psychologist from America)
My point is starting with Jung is like going to the final boss without any upgrades you're gonna get demolished and barely understand anything.
At least that was my experience. Good luck
@@GH69107 I'll certainly try that route. Thanks
this made me feel like to fully merge the concious with the unconcious you would need to go 'insane' to do so. this video made me feel insane
Fuck me dead, this was much, much better than I thought it would be.
Your summarisation skills are incredible
this is when I subbed: "he became acquainted to Freud, who would spend his career predicting the current trend in adult film"
I'm kinda freaking out over this video. I've never heard of this man before, but I have had these same ideas such as, ego and the self taught to me through an intense mushroom trip while meditating over a year ago. To come across these same ideas that I was exposed to, further deepens my belief of the collective unconscious.
Amazing video, thank you very much for that explanation of Jung’s main ideas
My favourite new channel. Finally UA-cam have recommended me something good
Do you clear your search history? The analytics on UA-cam's feed are tricky and clearing my history does feed
new content into my page.
Pandora Hearts. Great user name.
I sometimes dreamt about the collective consciousness. Before I even knew what it was. Like a water vase that feeds the souls and minds of every human. The sounds of water crashing and wind whirling. Flowing and turbulent.
What a gem this channel just proves that , simplicity the most efficient way in delivering information
I see a bright future and incredible animations in 5 years.
I’m glad you uploaded, I missed your videos.
Thank you for this great post definitely one of the best channels out there
Thank you. So much. Please keep making videos, in whatever fashion and order you desire. Your content is really fantastic
I agree 100%. Thank you. Continue producing content for us.

Finally an animated Carl Jung story. Peterson introduced me to this guy.
Good for you to move from peterson

Peterson would say that too, a real teacher indeed.
@@demiiiii i never got the JP hate, whats wrong with the guy?
Jorian van Nee He is disrespectful. There’s a reason that he is nearly exclusively followed by white men.
@@sirenachantal471 well, he discusses subjects that a specific group can relate to, so what? That doesnt have to be related with disrespectfulness
Thank you, algorithms!!! Am immersed in glee at the discovery of this channel
1. Wasn't ready for this level of awesome.
2. I've read loads of Jung and this video still nuanced frame of reference.
& D. I successfully had multiple epiphanies from watching this (LOL) display of genious
I’ve never been able to find my shadow in my dreams, despite my trying sometimes. My nightmares typically, ever sense I was a kid, have been empty. And there is an intense fear that something is lurking, but never reveals itself.

"Fulfill[ing] the way that is in you" ha, prepare yourself for criticism, and prepare to receive "advice" and how to blend in back in with the rest of society.
your channel is one of the best I've seen in my 11 years on here
"There is only one way and that is your way. There is only one salvation and that is your salvation. Why are you looking for help. Do you believe help will come from outside? What is to come will be created in you and from you, Hence look into yourself. Do not compare. Do not measure. No other way is like yours. All other ways deceive and tempt you. You must fulfill the way that is in you."
Instant sub. Walking to school today I was listening to the 3rd movement of moonlight sonata. Synchronicity at its finest.
Whobob Whatpants synchronicity is everything my dear frycook
This is just a super great video about Jung! Thanks for posting it.
🧿 When the whole world is running towards a cliff, he or she who is running in the opposite direction appears to have lost his or her mind.
Bro, that transition between History and complex psychological theory took me by surprise 😂 My brain was like “what, i have to think hard now?!” 😂😎 Great video & thanks for the perspective
One of the best introductions to jung !
I love the way the writing looks like your (or my) first draft
2:48 One of the greatest things I've ever seen.
Your videos are so good. Absolutely great summaries of concepts and the founders, in such short frames of time. I really appreciate and thank you for them!
"when you mean one thing, but mean your mother"
I was ready for your channel. Thank you.
Jung was a unique child, at a young age...
And wisdom beyond his years that continued into old age.
Yeah I wish I'd learned about Jung 15 years ago instead of now but I sure am glad I get to read him now, and honestly it was important for me to go through the whole existential crisis shit. Get the big stuff out of the way so I can enjoy the rest of my brief, absurd life to the best of my ability.
I think I've already had my creative psychoses stage... Sadly, I didn't accomplish a lot. Just a lot of introspection and the development of a crippling fear of death - along with still existing depression and anxiety. My thought process is a lot different now and I have a lot of empathy where I had very little before. I had a friend who I talked about a lot of this weird stuff with back then. That's how I came to know of Jung.
Do u wanna be friends?
I suggest getting in tune with your spiritual self, to rid you of your fear of death, you've died countless times, only your ego dies, soul is eternal.
I'm so happy to see you upload again
Remember this guy's theory is what the entire Persona video game series Metaverse is based on. That and the MBTI personality test (created by Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter Isabel.)
Wait, but the metaverse is only in persona 5..
🤔🤔🤔
@@theblandcharlie822 Forgive me I didn't know it was only Persona 5. it's the only game I've played in the series so far.
“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.”
“There's no coming to consciousness without pain.”
“Like plants, so men also grow, some in the light, others in the shadows. There are many who need the shadows and not the light.”
“Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.”
“To be "normal" is a splendid ideal for the unsuccessful.”
“If the path before you is clear, you’re probably on someone else’s.”
“Where your fear is, there is your task.”
-Carl Jung
A lot of individuals see this ego and shadow self using psychedelics. It kinda blows my mind hearing this.
It's a bit like cheating. And you're also undermining your ability to "do the inner work" like that.
@@DragomirSangeorzan Psychedelics are a tool, to better your life and the ones around you, giving it a negative stigma hinders their benefits
@@vastviksewani3572 the experience of the journey is important
People also reach the realization via meditation or trance. But, without a well-experienced guide it's easy to project that shadow as an outside force (e.g. Satan according to evangelical Christians)
They ply me with all sorts of medicines for my mental illness, but I know it is really more akin to being lost in/overwhelmed by synchronicities.
"Liverpool!? Liverpool!!?? Aww, hayell no! Spirit torment me no more!"
I occasionally come back to this video to for the clip of Jung playing with a boulder. Idk why but that part always gets a chuckle from me
