The anima may be the greatest problem many men face in their inner lives. It is incredible how we choose (or are chosen) by persons who perfectly embody our own anima, and the moral problem of dealing with it, not losing our independent energy of selfhood to it, is daunting. The anima brings paradox upon paradox to the feeling life of a man; the treasure of belonging, and the trap of self-betrayal.

The ego that was damaged by love had to be destroyed. Ive done this before but evolving love to the point that i learned to love someone for the lessons she gave me because it broke me which gave me the opportunity to build something. A blank canvas that was evolved with care and intention. I realize i have a long way to go. But being grateful for the damage i endured no one identifies correctly its evolved into a gratitude. Even my family history has become wells of gratitude because i see it as opportunity in infancy. Like a rebirth an reset or a reprogramming. Just what it looked like for me
Maybe that is why despite my countless female encounters, i could not find "true love", it already haunts me in my dreams in the form of an ideal young lady I first love secretly in pain in my teen years. I've been stuck since then searching for her in other women. "There are no substitutes in love" claims a movie.
It may be better to know you have not found love than to have believed you found it, only to later learn that they are not at all who either you or they believed them to be. After learning the truth I believe I would have been better suited to be a nun or a prostitute than a wife to a soulless man.
Carl Jung's anima and animus are Jungian archetypes that represent the unconscious masculine and feminine aspects of each person: Anima The feminine aspect of a man's unconscious. It's a personification of all feminine tendencies, both positive and negative. Positive expressions of the anima include sensitivity, empathy, and a capacity for loving relationships. Jung believed that everyone is born with the potential for both sets of gender characteristics, but only one is developed consciously. The other set remains latent in the unconscious. Jung theorized that dreams often compensate for this one-sidedness by featuring archetypal images of the opposite gender.

Integrating these archetypes into a coherent whole is an essential factor in personal growth.

Good for you. It's very important spiritually to be positively aligned to your partner and know their inner workings like this, it's very vulnerable being psychologically exposed to a dream ideal like this and I hope you can continue to be his ideal and help him grow and likewise vice versa

I enjoy reading and listening to Jungian Psychology but I've always found it difficult to practically help myself using the information. Much like Joseph Campbell, I enjoy it but ultimately feel abstracted and lost. These metaphors and mythic images are so facinating but after all these years I'm still an outsider, removed in many ways from it all.

@@michaelrichardjnr9600 Marie-Louise von Franz, a prominent Jungian analyst, often explored the interplay between the conscious and unconscious elements of the psyche, and the integration of opposites. When she says that “the highest form of love is something with a grain of salt in it,” she likely means that true, mature love is not purely idealized or one-sided but involves a balance of reality and fantasy, light and shadow. In a psychological context, love that is “pure” without any “salt” may be unrealistic or an illusion, lacking the depth that comes with facing the imperfections of both the self and the other. The “grain of salt” could symbolize the necessary boundaries, wisdom, or realism that help temper overwhelming or blind passion with clarity, allowing for love to be truly sustainable and grounded. This could be seen as a mature love, where both partners acknowledge each other’s flaws, weaknesses, and complexities, rather than idealizing or projecting unrealistic expectations onto one another. From a Jungian perspective, this quote also alludes to the integration of opposites-the conscious and unconscious, the light and dark aspects of the self and the other. In this view, the “grain of salt” could also represent the shadow-the parts of ourselves that we must confront in order to experience a fuller, more complete love. Without acknowledging the shadow, love risks becoming distorted or based on an unrealistic fantasy. Ultimately, von Franz’s words suggest that love is healthiest when it involves a level of realism, where idealization is balanced with acceptance of imperfection-allowing both partners to grow, evolve, and truly meet each other as they are.
Perhaps: The experience of true love is not sublime perfection only. It also encompasses real flavors of ourselves unexpected and real - challenges along with the sublime.
@@michaelrichardjnr9600 Probably not a coincidence she used the term "grain of salt". My feeling is she is trying to say loving somebody deeply, honestly and fruitfully is not mutually exclusive with having an understanding of their faults and blind spots - i.e. knowing "how" to love a woman. If not, you will provoke their dark side, to the detriment of both sides
The anima is male and the female is the animus. This is also in the book “Iron John: A book of men” which is a great read by the way. I will look into the jungian version of it soon 👍
@ no it really is that way. It’s supposed to be reversed because it’s not supposed to help us it’s supposed to make us pass through repetitive obstacles of fate. Naturally, they are anima female animus male but the real concept of study was due to findings of anima in males and animus in females
@@russgodinho3358 the point is men have to be more comfortable with the feminine aspect within them and vice versa, (females with the masculine aspect) sir.

@ - Hello. Sometimes my sarcasm doesn’t translate well in this format. However: after a few years of psychiatrists it has validity. I got past childhood; except for, (🙄) some subconscious predilections of finding women like my mom and trying to fix them. They all eventually betrayed me. To the point of lying to police to get me arrested and forced ray-pe. It gets worse but I want to be brief. To the point I had a psychotic break. Anyway: lost everything (millions) and now live in a shipping container in the desert. Anyway mom was just a backwoods hick, dad too. I have made peace with them mostly.
@@The_Jungian_Aion - let me fill you in on now first. I have been living day-to-day. Mostly because I’m lost out here in the desert, far from home. Also; my mind has not been functioning well. I read on the internet stress can do that. Messing up hormones in the amygdala, hippocampus, and such. I’m getting better, it is slow progress. I poop in a hole in the ground. Someone gave me a camper- so I have a shower, locking door, propane stove, and a bed. I don’t have running water; or electricity, aside from a couple solar panels. I have good friends though. Sorry rambling… My mind is coming back on line slowly. I am learning to play guitar. I play on open mike nights. I aspire to be able to do a few sets someday. I practice every day. My future plans involve getting my house back. Flying skydivers at Oceanside airport. Collecting royalties from a patent I have that I had brought to market. The patent project was ruined along with everything else by a gal with a PhD in psychology. She is a psychopath. In 2005 I was studying to be a corporate pilot, doing extremely well on check-rides, when another long term girlfriend ended that career before it started. The patent is licensed to Rock River Arms. They have it listed on the website but haven’t started shipping. I am concerned my unconscious is going to undermine everything I do. It is a problem I had since childhood. My hope is it is not going to happen again. Are you a real person?
Sounds like the necessary descent for renewal and reorientation. I love that you’re learning guitar, living simply, and surrounding yourself with good friends. The unconscious will mirror back the face you show it-that’s the relationship to nurture most. Trust this journey; I have a good intuition for you. And yes, I’m real.

Everyone knows the allegory of the cave told by Plato. Told in modern terms it can be compared to playing an X-Box game ( holographic) The prisoners are the players who believe that they are the characters on the screen. They are subjected to the socialisation of consciousness, ego aware-unaware, rules of the game. Withdraw into yourself and look. A synthetic a posteriori judgement is one whose truth or falsity can be determined by experience. By practising mind control/ stilling the mind, your awareness/consciousness rises into the 4th dimension/Light/Self/God. Practice is the sole criterion for testing Truth. Matthew 23 : 13,14,15.
@@davidmayhew8083 thanks for asking. At 62, I’ve spent many years asking the same question, and often I come back to feeling either totally invisible, or just pathologized by psychiatry and religion, as our internal struggles are so foreign to the hetero majority. I suppose it’s a lot to ask for any “special needs” attention. It’s both infuriating and somewhat freeing at the same time. Yes, as gay men we carry our own particular crosses, but remain a profound mystery, even to ourselves. I can’t expect heterosexual “doctors” to explain my traumas or depths… and I’m still wondering if the paradigms of heterosexual culture pertain to us : our experience here is profoundly alien AND alienating.
3:15 the highest form of love also has a grain of salt. Think that means that no matter how much you love someone there is always a boundary which you cannot forgive or tolerate or have to address
If people want to become jesus its agreeing they want to be crucified. But in reality the people that say that arent usually crusified its just something thats a myth to them not what they know from experience. Also theres the crucifiers who want jesus to save them. This teaching isnt in islam for a reason. Its because it gets you to focus on the tribulations he suffered above all the humanitarian contributions in life that he made and him as a symbol of unconditional love in a healthy sense. In islam there is zakah which is the essence of how jesus lived well all the pillars are really and they focus on actual action
There was a girl i would call the 2nd mentioned type that i got on really well with but originally never wanted as a romantic partner. She was very interesting and philosophical , we were best friends. At the time i had no interest in women as partners and they would throw themselves at me. This one wanted me and eventually i gave in and soon afterwards i became obsessed with her then she dropped me. I would see her around at intervals in my life when i would be dating another. I dates her again and she dropped me again. We never had sex, i thought she was afraid of it, couldnt figure that out. I had a dream one night i had a daughter with her who was like the light of the sun. Then this ladys face began to transform into a different looking woman, like another ex but the face was blurred. I then met a new lady and she looked like the blurred faced lady in the dream who had changed from the 1st one. I had a tantric sexual experience just after she told me she loved me. I still sensed she was dangerous. I got her pregnant. Im trying to win her back. Still have a lovely daughter
I think if Jung could have had more time maybe he would have found that the higher self connection can last longer than just a fleeting experience. This is also known as the christ consciousness. I grew up in the traditional catholic atmosphere. Very uptight and my experience was much different GOD seems more relaxed. I think hes willing to meet you where your at. HE sees your heart HE knows it better than anyone. Were just souls having a human experience. The higher consciousness or GOD or whatever that looks like for you is in you. Thats all you need is "Know "thyself" look inward for answers. Im sharing the way. Not to be dramatic but its said best by morpheus i can only show you the door. You are the door. The temple the gateway to something greater. Get in there with a child like sense of wonder and wander around
We are talking about the ego-Self axis - a lifelong relationship of dialogue and creative work, channeling archetypal energy into the human realm, rather than a fleeting experience. Thank you for your comment Steve.
To men, maybe you should pay attention to the facts more than abstract narcissistic philosophy. Relationships are not defined anymore by the two, they try to be self-contained. No, the woman you meet is not a reflection of your anima, she is herself. When you get to know her, you get to know her; you might discover new things about yourself as in how you react or how you feel in her presence or due to her actions but knowing her is not knowing you, that is called being self-absorbed and is actually an obstacle to self-discovery. Pay attention to her, and know that it is about her and has nothing to do with you. Break your brain open and there's no animus and/ or anima written in there. So don't take it as word of truth and live your life like this. When it truly comes down to it, and when you have been with a fair number of women you realize the idea in your head is just that, an idea. There's always a shadow (non-jungian lol) that falls between what you have conceived in your brain and what the reality is.
@ Christ says it in Mathew 27:46 he is referring to a psalm which was was written by David and said to be written before Christ in the Old Testament. The verse in Mathew is referring to the Old Testament. That’s what I’m saying. Jesus said it to refer to the scripture.
For me this is fascinating and also BS which has no evidence for it. Joan of Arc ?

Just in case you were wondering I live in the UK.
@@NoahSpurrier Adopting this attitude consciously might actually make things harder, as the unconscious mind will probably step in to balance the scales and teach you the value of struggle and mission.

I am new to Jung. There are parallels between this lady's description of a man's fantasies and my marriage. I am the fantasy woman my husband always dreamed of, down to the last detail. I've always wondered what significance that had in our marriage. This is very interesting. Thank you 🙏❤🙏
City Council?
Good for you. It's very important spiritually to be positively aligned to your partner and know their inner workings like this, it's very vulnerable being psychologically exposed to a dream ideal like this and I hope you can continue to be his ideal and help him grow and likewise vice versa
Thank you
How was their lives not just running around being asked by random people to interpret their dreams? At this age, after being asked hundreds (maybe thousands) of times. She still puts real thought into analysing it. Amazing. That’s someone who really loves their job 😁 This was profound and I must learn more about this. It resonated with me and my experience so much. Also, the top comment on the video gave it even more clarity. What is hers and Jung’s prescription or a healthy relationship and management of one’s Anima?
Something tells me that what this lady is saying is rather important!
Try engaging in a dialogue with this "something," a part of your unconscious - it may reveal why it holds significance for you.
The collective unconscious!

@3:13 "the greatest form of love is something with a grain of salt in it"
What does it mean??
I enjoy reading and listening to Jungian Psychology but I've always found it difficult to practically help myself using the information. Much like Joseph Campbell, I enjoy it but ultimately feel abstracted and lost.
These metaphors and mythic images are so facinating but after all these years I'm still an outsider, removed in many ways from it all.
Just wow 🙏
I thought she was knitting in the thumbnail, and I read her name as "Mabel"; so I thought it was someone's Gam-Gam talking about The Anima.
If anyone has any ideas or educated guesses as to what she meant by the salt comment upon which she refused to elaborate please reply. I don’t know enough about this lady or jungian stylings to even guess what she meant or why she refused
@@michaelrichardjnr9600 Marie-Louise von Franz, a prominent Jungian analyst, often explored the interplay between the conscious and unconscious elements of the psyche, and the integration of opposites. When she says that “the highest form of love is something with a grain of salt in it,” she likely means that true, mature love is not purely idealized or one-sided but involves a balance of reality and fantasy, light and shadow.
In a psychological context, love that is “pure” without any “salt” may be unrealistic or an illusion, lacking the depth that comes with facing the imperfections of both the self and the other. The “grain of salt” could symbolize the necessary boundaries, wisdom, or realism that help temper overwhelming or blind passion with clarity, allowing for love to be truly sustainable and grounded. This could be seen as a mature love, where both partners acknowledge each other’s flaws, weaknesses, and complexities, rather than idealizing or projecting unrealistic expectations onto one another.
From a Jungian perspective, this quote also alludes to the integration of opposites-the conscious and unconscious, the light and dark aspects of the self and the other. In this view, the “grain of salt” could also represent the shadow-the parts of ourselves that we must confront in order to experience a fuller, more complete love. Without acknowledging the shadow, love risks becoming distorted or based on an unrealistic fantasy.
Ultimately, von Franz’s words suggest that love is healthiest when it involves a level of realism, where idealization is balanced with acceptance of imperfection-allowing both partners to grow, evolve, and truly meet each other as they are.
Perhaps: The experience of true love is not sublime perfection only. It also encompasses real flavors of ourselves unexpected and real - challenges along with the sublime.
@@michaelrichardjnr9600 Probably not a coincidence she used the term "grain of salt". My feeling is she is trying to say loving somebody deeply, honestly and fruitfully is not mutually exclusive with having an understanding of their faults and blind spots - i.e. knowing "how" to love a woman. If not, you will provoke their dark side, to the detriment of both sides

The anima is male and the female is the animus. This is also in the book “Iron John: A book of men” which is a great read by the way. I will look into the jungian version of it soon 👍
You've got it reversed…Anima is the female aspect
@ no it really is that way. It’s supposed to be reversed because it’s not supposed to help us it’s supposed to make us pass through repetitive obstacles of fate. Naturally, they are anima female animus male but the real concept of study was due to findings of anima in males and animus in females

Try to see her as a human being, just like you-struggling to navigate the world, acting from instinct, education, and the patterns she herself was taught. Blame won't aid in healing or growth.
@ - Hello. Sometimes my sarcasm doesn’t translate well in this format.
However: after a few years of psychiatrists it has validity.
I got past childhood; except for, (🙄) some subconscious predilections of finding women like my mom and trying to fix them. They all eventually betrayed me.
To the point of lying to police to get me arrested and forced ray-pe. It gets worse but I want to be brief.
To the point I had a psychotic break.
Anyway: lost everything (millions) and now live in a shipping container in the desert.
Anyway mom was just a backwoods hick, dad too. I have made peace with them mostly.
@@michaelgarrow3239 What a journey brother! What is your next step now?
@@The_Jungian_Aion - let me fill you in on now first.
I have been living day-to-day. Mostly because I’m lost out here in the desert, far from home. Also; my mind has not been functioning well. I read on the internet stress can do that. Messing up hormones in the amygdala, hippocampus, and such. I’m getting better, it is slow progress.
I poop in a hole in the ground. Someone gave me a camper- so I have a shower, locking door, propane stove, and a bed. I don’t have running water; or electricity, aside from a couple solar panels.
I have good friends though.
Sorry rambling…
My mind is coming back on line slowly.
I am learning to play guitar. I play on open mike nights. I aspire to be able to do a few sets someday. I practice every day.
My future plans involve getting my house back. Flying skydivers at Oceanside airport. Collecting royalties from a patent I have that I had brought to market.
The patent project was ruined along with everything else by a gal with a PhD in psychology. She is a psychopath.
In 2005 I was studying to be a corporate pilot, doing extremely well on check-rides, when another long term girlfriend ended that career before it started.
The patent is licensed to Rock River Arms. They have it listed on the website but haven’t started shipping.
I am concerned my unconscious is going to undermine everything I do. It is a problem I had since childhood. My hope is it is not going to happen again.
Are you a real person?
Sounds like the necessary descent for renewal and reorientation. I love that you’re learning guitar, living simply, and surrounding yourself with good friends. The unconscious will mirror back the face you show it-that’s the relationship to nurture most. Trust this journey; I have a good intuition for you. And yes, I’m real.

Everyone knows the allegory of the cave told by Plato.

@@davidmayhew8083 thanks for asking. At 62, I’ve spent many years asking the same question, and often I come back to feeling either totally invisible, or just pathologized by psychiatry and religion, as our internal struggles are so foreign to the hetero majority. I suppose it’s a lot to ask for any “special needs” attention. It’s both infuriating and somewhat freeing at the same time. Yes, as gay men we carry our own particular crosses, but remain a profound mystery, even to ourselves. I can’t expect heterosexual “doctors” to explain my traumas or depths… and I’m still wondering if the paradigms of heterosexual culture pertain to us : our experience here is profoundly alien AND alienating.

Why only Christian symbols?
If people want to become jesus its agreeing they want to be crucified. But in reality the people that say that arent usually crusified its just something thats a myth to them not what they know from experience. Also theres the crucifiers who want jesus to save them. This teaching isnt in islam for a reason. Its because it gets you to focus on the tribulations he suffered above all the humanitarian contributions in life that he made and him as a symbol of unconditional love in a healthy sense. In islam there is zakah which is the essence of how jesus lived well all the pillars are really and they focus on actual action
There was a girl i would call the 2nd mentioned type that i got on really well with but originally never wanted as a romantic partner. She was very interesting and philosophical , we were best friends. At the time i had no interest in women as partners and they would throw themselves at me. This one wanted me and eventually i gave in and soon afterwards i became obsessed with her then she dropped me. I would see her around at intervals in my life when i would be dating another. I dates her again and she dropped me again. We never had sex, i thought she was afraid of it, couldnt figure that out. I had a dream one night i had a daughter with her who was like the light of the sun. Then this ladys face began to transform into a different looking woman, like another ex but the face was blurred. I then met a new lady and she looked like the blurred faced lady in the dream who had changed from the 1st one. I had a tantric sexual experience just after she told me she loved me. I still sensed she was dangerous. I got her pregnant. Im trying to win her back. Still have a lovely daughter
I think if Jung could have had more time maybe he would have found that the higher self connection can last longer than just a fleeting experience. This is also known as the christ consciousness. I grew up in the traditional catholic atmosphere. Very uptight and my experience was much different GOD seems more relaxed. I think hes willing to meet you where your at. HE sees your heart HE knows it better than anyone. Were just souls having a human experience. The higher consciousness or GOD or whatever that looks like for you is in you. Thats all you need is "Know "thyself" look inward for answers. Im sharing the way. Not to be dramatic but its said best by morpheus i can only show you the door. You are the door. The temple the gateway to something greater. Get in there with a child like sense of wonder and wander around
We are talking about the ego-Self axis - a lifelong relationship of dialogue and creative work, channeling archetypal energy into the human realm, rather than a fleeting experience. Thank you for your comment Steve.
To men, maybe you should pay attention to the facts more than abstract narcissistic philosophy. Relationships are not defined anymore by the two, they try to be self-contained. No, the woman you meet is not a reflection of your anima, she is herself. When you get to know her, you get to know her; you might discover new things about yourself as in how you react or how you feel in her presence or due to her actions but knowing her is not knowing you, that is called being self-absorbed and is actually an obstacle to self-discovery. Pay attention to her, and know that it is about her and has nothing to do with you. Break your brain open and there's no animus and/ or anima written in there. So don't take it as word of truth and live your life like this. When it truly comes down to it, and when you have been with a fair number of women you realize the idea in your head is just that, an idea. There's always a shadow (non-jungian lol) that falls between what you have conceived in your brain and what the reality is.
Ultimate creator of all things preaching about others being self absorbed is so very insightful, please give us more!!!
I can't help myself but i can just see this animus/anima thing as a Jungian construct 😢

What's your point of view on the subject?
Christ said “my God my God why have you forsaken me” because that’s the beginning of Psalm 22
That's not _why_ that's _ where_ Christ says it! Understand the difference?
@ Christ says it in Mathew 27:46 he is referring to a psalm which was was written by David and said to be written before Christ in the Old Testament. The verse in Mathew is referring to the Old Testament. That’s what I’m saying. Jesus said it to refer to the scripture.
For me this is fascinating and also BS which has no evidence for it. Joan of Arc ? Most people wouldn't know that the hundred years war took place let alone anything about Joan of Arc and also most young (under 40) don't know the first thing about Christianity. Just in case you were wondering I live in the UK.

Just like the point of life itself: to become conscious and to become yourself as wholly as possible.
@The_Jungian_Aion That's too hard. I want to play an easier game.
@@NoahSpurrier Adopting this attitude consciously might actually make things harder, as the unconscious mind will probably step in to balance the scales and teach you the value of struggle and mission. Instead, you could choose to embrace hard work and challenging pursuits willingly-transforming them into a meaningful journey. Just a thought.

She sat down with many men as an analyst, keeping close to her someone greater, more complete, and wiser than Bukowski-Jung.
@@The_Jungian_Aion I wasn't referring to Bukowski as wise, more of his attitude to intellectuals. Jung, well... to consider oneself all-knowing when it comes to men. Whatever...
