In this video, I talk about The Anima and The Animus in the Jungian Psychological Model. I go over the information in this order.
1. Anima and Animus - basic definition
2. The gender spectrum now and how the Anima and Animus fits in
3. The feminine and masculine defined as Yin and Yang
4. Common fears about integrating the inner opposite
5. How the Anima presents itself in a man
6. Stages of Anima development and integration
7. Anima Possession
8. How to reintegrate the Anima
9. How the Animus presents itself in a woman
10. Stages of Animus Development and Integration
11. Animus Possession
12. How to reintegrate the Animus
13. Conclusion
The Anima and Animus, when fully integrated, are the mediators between the conscious and the unconscious mind and give us a connection to the numinous. This is why it's so important to develop and integrate our inner opposites.

This is so true. In my culture the greatest enlightened person/God is depicted half woman-half man. That shows he has perfectly balanced his masculinity and femininity, making him a complete being. Great explanation though.
That’s the definition of HOLY. To be whole. Yin and yang .
You're a clear speaker, comfortable with the subject matter, and you give a better lecture than most Professors I've had. :-D Thank you for your videos!
Thank you for your kind words! :D
Frfr. This is an excellent introduction to these Archetypes, and sensitively handled as well. Mazeltov!
I really like how you present this material. Your articulation is phenomenal.
Agreed, very balanced take. I can imagine a lot of women thinking these ideas are just outdated and wrong.
Can you agree that we mirror the world we live in?
Why would our gender opposites represent such a big part of our world?
Because to be successful biological beings we have to reproduce.
Our acceptance in society, our prosperity depends so much on the opposite to our sex.
What we understand in general is a reflection to everything that's external.
You could argue that a pet has as much importance in your life as anyone else in your entourage.
Do you then say that there is a part of you that is a dog, a hamster, a cobra, a rat, a cat...?
I would say, that's simply a reflection of what is external to you.
And your position relative to the opposite sex is important.
Your perception of men as an archetype exists in you.
It's what you think around.
It's what you negotiate with when you choose your connections with others and the dynamics of your relationships.
How you understand the expectations of others.
It's all that... it's not a stupid black and white Yin&Yang structure.
It's you, understanding yourself relative to a huge world you only control a perception of.
@@technofeeliak can you agree that you you are only seeing the world in terms of separation between what is you and what is not you? You must agree that this lens of perception heavily colors the hypothesis that you espouse here. Of course then on some level the dog or the cat or whatever it is is a part of you as soon as your perception of self becomes big enough to encompass it isn't it true? If you have a project you work on for many years and put so much of yourself into it and then I come along and stomp it down to the ground you would feel pain in your heart the same as if I had trampled it?
So yes it is about how we relate to the world around us but everything is about how anything relates to anything. It is a condition of being a conscious being. How is it you can talk about anything in the world without first understanding how you relate to it?
So what is your point then?
This is amazing. It gave me an insight on myself that I didnt know before. I am a animus possessed women and I didnt realise what was missing in my life or what kept me stuck in a place of stagnation. Ive lost touch with my animus side and its been projected negatively. This was insightful and allowing me recover my connection with my animus.
For what it’s worth, I think you’ve done a great job at explaining the Jungian perspective. It’s a shame so many ppl seem to get hung up on PC and SJW stuff. I think you’re extremely balanced in your approach and compassionate toward those who may not fall “neatly” into any of the Jungian archetypes / systems. I just wanted to let you know because allot of what I’m reading in this thread is negative and highly critical. Power to you for being so articulate and courageous!
Thank you! I appreciate it. I think a lot of people find my videos through Jordan Peterson, because I show up on his related videos section. My videos show up there because we both use aspects of the Jungian framework. But our views are polar opposites in many ways. And because his views are very traditional in nature, I get a lot of people on here looking for a similar perspective to Peterson's and they sometimes end up disappointed. This is because my views are not very traditional. I embrace the changes that are coming to society, and I see many of them as very positive. I'm optimistic about the future. So, when I tailored the video at the very beginning to also accommodate members of the LGBT community or other exceptions to the 'rules' of masculinity and femininity, I've sometimes gotten one of two reactions from his viewers. One is of general indifference to the LGBT community, but they think I'm being "PC" or doing "identity politics" or politicizing things something like that. The other is one of non-acceptance to the entire concept that people can have nuances in masculinity and femininity, and they see any person who does have a non-traditional masculine/feminine ratio as degenerate or weird in some way. But I am not being political at all. I'm simply tailoring my videos to the realities that I've experienced for the sake of being thorough and comprehensive. It's just that many people see anything to do with the LGBT community as automatically political, despite the fact that it's just another aspect of reality to be acknowledged. And it's easier to wave something off as "identity politics" and write off its significance than actually considering the individual reality that gives way to the fact that so many LGBT issues are on the political chopping block right now. So, in the words of Carl Jung, "Thinking is difficult, that's why most people judge." Thank you again for your support! :)
It's not courageous to spout off about the popular socially acceptable ideology of the day. You just come across as a white knight.
The Diamond Net I am a little disappointed that others seem to dismiss your points due to the incorporatiion of LGBT into the Jungian anima/animus model. Honestly, their incorporation doesn't even alter the model. I am a big fan of Peterson as much of his teachings have placed me on a path of personal reflection and growth, mainly in the area of adopting responsibility for my well-being. However, when learning something that is new and complex, like Jung, I want to take in different perspectives. Thank you for providing that in a clear, thoughtful way. Your explanation of the shadow and anima/animus possession really helped me gain a deeper understanding of Jungian psychology. Please keep creating this quality content. The world needs it more than ever 👍
That description of Yin and Yang traits (9:56) is itself strongly polarized. The Yang is by no means more external and Yin more internal. Take a look at "Levels of Animus" in en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anima_and_animus
Major internal male qualities are: steadfastness, loyalty, courage, perseverance, one-pointedness, neutral inner observance.
Major external female qualities are: beauty, grace, softness, aesthetic sense, sense of touch, nurturance.
The changes are very positive, but the world is about to lose the masculine. ...Then again, the world is always losing the masculine, is it not? Ha. Namaste. @@TheDiamondNet
"Look for traits that are inherent to you and then you start to develop them", that explains a lot to me. Thanks.
Thank you for taking such a progressive view, I was a little scared to look into this because of the potential for transphobia/general sexism, but you really made this modern and easy for me to watch. Thank you so much🙇♂️🧡🧡
You’re welcome. I try to mold it to my experience of being someone who doesn’t fit very neatly with gender roles... as I’ve had huge issues with feminine repression and anima repression in the past. Also, I think Jung would have considered the realities of transfolk and other gender non-conforming people in his theories had he been living in an era where collective consciousness was aware of those realities. It would be very non-rigorous if he didn’t as ignoring a reality is not very scientific.
i'm so glad i listened through this entire thing. every question and hesitation i had throughout was acknowledged, and you've done such a wonderful job to sew seeds of curiosity and inspiration, at least within me :) i'm releasing an album dedicated to my dreamstate anima later this year and i'm still fleshing out what that means to me.
I learned so much about these topics because of this video, very eloquent presentation
Thank you! I just looked you up because UA-cam gives me notice when a UA-camr with a certain amount of subs/views comments. It’s very interesting that your reputation is to comment on “every video on YT”... and now you’ve found mine. Thanks for commenting.
@@TheDiamondNet I'm grateful for your response, I am genuinely interested in the topics you cover, I just subscribed and I am looking forward to seeing more of your content in the future :)
I am doing a Ph.D. in theology and am currently studying for an interdisciplinary comprehensive exam on Freud, Jung, and Lacan. I am finding your lectures very helpful. Thanks!
You're welcome. I'm glad to hear it! Best of luck with your Ph.D. !
Remarkably clear format. I think I'm finally getting this stuff, step by step. Thanks a lot!
Very clear understanding of your subject. I'll definitely be chewing on this. Thanks.
You're welcome!
clear but WRONG!
@@TheDiamondNet I agree.
I see you doing much better with females than males.. Is this true? Curious for your response.
Namaste.

Great talk: thank you for carrying forward the discoveries of Jung (and yours too).
Your channel is the most open minded thing I've come across. It gives me life 😅 you're really helping me on my ongoing journey. So informative. I'm 23 years old and I'm so happy I found your channel! Thank you so so much for all the work you put into your videos 🙏🏻❤️
Really clear explanation of the Anima and Animus. Loved it. Will take out time to watch more of your videos! :-)
I said this before and I’ll say it again, girl you’re a genius.
"Don't let a concept define you. You are actually an infinite thing and you are so much more than your particular gender identity." Very well said, Emerald! Actually that's one of my favourite approaches when talking about all these "being" things. Thank you for this great video! By the way, which is/are your graduation background(s)?
Best explanation on this concept I have heard yet. Thank you!
I'm so happy to have found your videos after having watched many on the subject of Jung. You're so comfortable and deep into the knowledge that you can be conversational about it. You're also so beautifully articulate. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
You are such a wonderful lecturer, thank you! 💜
I didn’t even know almost 35 minutes passed this fast. Amazing video I wish school would have been like this!!
Absolutely brilliant. I loved every minute of your presentation. Practically courageous and genuine. Your work will be rewarded through our collective conscious I promise you.
The best down to earth and genuine presentation I have found! For me it is always very amazing how new things manifest when we let go of expectations. I remember how 4 years I got in touch with the works of Jung through an artistic project. I realised what a strong grip my anima had (and still sometimes has) and how strongly I was seeking to become whole with a partner, the things I was projecting were already there and are waiting to be integrated, hidden in the shadow. These inner transformations, that were also painful, opened up a beautiful path and my outer world shifted completely!
Very Insightful !!! Thank you for the lecture.
You're welcome! :D
I've been wanting to learn more about Jung for a while now. But having very little background in psychiatry, this was no easy task. Jung's ideas are not easily summarized or simplified.
So I'm extremely excited that I've discovered this channel. I can't wait to watch all the videos on Jung.
I admire your articulation of ideas in clear, well-organized, easy to comprehend presentations. Well done.

Thanks for explaining this very concisely and also providing some of your own interpretation on some of it. It's a topic I've been reading up on a fair bit lately, so trying to get as much understanding of it as possible from various sources.
Interestingly, I read in a number of places that 1st stage of anima in a man is more to do with expectation of a motherly role. Eve being more of a symbol of motherhood, and men who hadn't had a healthy relationship with their biological mother tend to be stuck in this phase and seek motherly qualities in a woman so that she would nurture him. These kind of men are usually quite emotionally immature and childish. Whereas the 2nd stage was more to do with a woman being an object of sex and pleasure (Helen being a symbol of physical beauty), and men at this stage tend to be players who flirt a lot and hop from one relationship to another and are unable to have a long-term relationship due to failing to see women as individuals. What do you think about this? I notice this is a little bit different to how you described the first two stages of the anima development.
Omg this vid is soooo helpful! I have a presentation on Jungian psychology tomorrow and I'm just so glad I found your vid! Now I understand his theory more thanks to you. Really THANK YOU SO MUCH! xx
Thanks! :) I'm glad that it's helpful. Good luck with your presentation!
I just started with jungian psychology and this is exactly what I've been looking for. Interesting, logical, clear and really informative. You're doing a wonderful job, thank you 😊 I'm looking forward to your other lectures.
Thank you for your kind words. :) I should have more Jungian stuff coming up in the near future.
A few years ago, I developed a concept of the "yin/yang" or "masculine/faminine" nature of reality.
My preferred terminology is "power/love". Power is the drive towards achievement and individual identity. Love is the drive towards integration, harmony, and stability.
A little note on "masculine social expectations"
The existence of those is completely organic and useful, because "achieving masculinity" has incredible motivational power behind it. Masculinity is a goal. And these tropes exist because it's been mostly men who have done rough, dangerous shit so far. Read "the old man and the sea" by ernest hemingway for more context

This was extremely helpful! I think you exude all of the animus qualities very well. Very inspiring!
Love it! Thank you so much for all the hard work that must have gone into this.
Duuuuude you are making me lose my shit. I love your understanding!
Thank you! :D
Nathan James Navarrete 3/5 Mental Projector bruh, figure of speech.
You did a wonderful job. Thank you 🙏
Thank you! I just checked out your video on Feminine energy and I really liked it and think it’s a very important topic for both individual and collective wellbeing. I’d love to do a collaboration sometime. 😊
Perfect description. You know, some people who wanna be teachers, should learn from you how to show material to their students. I like your videos, especially re-visiting it once again to refresh the knowledge and to help myself even deeper, than it was in the first place. Obviously, such material is not for one-time look, I think with other several looks at it may be seen other details and things and, possibly, "readings between the lines". Because those things happen. Thanks for your work!
Thank you a straight forward well presented talk of some very complex ideas. Please continue making these types of video clips, much appreciated
Ero= feeling.
Logo= 'logic'
A el-aina thank you for that.
Or
Instinct
Intellect
no.
Eros = connection. overview.
Logos = light.
Big mistake, potentially. Perhaps I am mistaken by the feeling behind logo, in consideration to the quotations around logic. Could you clarify?
Also, which am I? ;)
Namaste.
they are ancient greek words and they mean specific things: (unfortunately I cannot write them with their correct intonation, but here they are and what they mean)
έρως: (eros) interest (or more literally deep desire)
λόγος: (logos) quite literally means logic
both of these words have interesting possible roots, but the way Jung used them was to indicate something that is mentioned in his work, in an example he gives about Edward Maitland's experience of God : "This was … God as
the Lord, proving by His duality that God is Substance as well as Force, Love as well as Will, feminine as well as masculine, Mother as well as Father."
I believe this kind of sums it up perfectly.
Awesome videos! I was hunting for good explanations of Jung's ideas, and you nailed it. Thank you! Now I'm watching your other videos - you've got a lot of great stuff to say, thank you!
I have a video idea for you, I'd absolutely love to hear your take on how the Anima works for homosexuals. I'm gay, and while listening to you explain these concepts, they come across as dated, with their views of gender. Which makes sense! So I'd love to hear your thoughts on the amima/animus through our current views of gender, and I'd love to hear your thoughts on how this may be different for people who are queer, or who may be more gender fluid. It's a huge ask, I know!
If you can't, no biggie, I still want to say you rock and thank you!
Hi man! Please check out this link, the post resonated with me regarding the same thoughts you've expressed www.reddit.com/r/Jung/comments/8mh4hy/animaanimus_in_samesex_relationships/dzolre4/
very articulate. clearly and simply expressed, making it easy for the listener to understand. thank you for this. subscribed :)
thank you.....simple straight to the point.....easy to understand .....namaste
Great video
Thank you!
this really helped me understand what it means. in the last 4yrs i've changed my life style andby the way you explained it i can see how much i've grown. keep up the good work! thank you
Great job explaining an often convoluted topic! Maybe the best explanation I've seen so far.
Thank you! :)
Kathy Newman vs Jordan Peterson sent me here.
SAME
That is a text book example of animus possession.
@Der Gorghast Funny guy :)
I agree 100 % more with Jordan Peterson.
I can relate it to interactions .
Unlike this that much more theatrical and subjective.
JP 🤗
Great video! Do you have anything about the so-called 'mid-life' crisis, which Jung seems to suggest that it is the journey of letting go of the persona to find the true self. I may confuse this a bit, but am trying to understand how this could explain a bit more the dynamics of my marriage which is now ended this year. I need to rise from these ashes, and I sense a strong pull toward exploring this whole individuation thing. Thank you!
I don't have any videos on the mid-life shift that Jung speaks about directly. You could say that most of my videos relate back to that move inward that he speaks of though. But I am familiar with the way he says that it works. He says that for the first half of life, you make yourself into a very particular individual and create a strong ego through individuation. So, you sort of create your identity and all its particulars. Then, at around 40 years old, you turn inward and start working on letting go and transcending the ego that you've created through shadow work and inner awareness of the Self. So, individuation and transcendence are in many ways, opposites. But both are also necessary for a deep and complete experience of your humanity.
Hi, you can check this video I created about an existential crisis ua-cam.com/video/xm5flpc2Iak/v-deo.html I've also got a QA on my channel about the video. Hope that helps.
Just what I needed to hear this morning as "understanding anime/animus" seems to be the next life lesson "the universe" is putting in front of me as I continue to work my way out of my own inherited, and personally constructed, "Plato's Cave." Studying with a brillant life coach, however, I have also come to believe in the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model of the human psyche, so in the part of the video where you talk about "emotions" I wished this were a live session and I could have asked you if you believe (as I have come to) that "emotions" (and worldviews, limiting beliefs) are not stand-alone things, they are sets of things that are associated with our sub-personalities, and when those are activated (triggered) they "flood our conscious mind" (and, if super-traumatized, can completely take over) and bring their worldviews, limiting beliefs, and "emotional states" with them.
This is a very impressive commentary. Super informative; excellent explanations - just wow
Can you get your anima out of my animus !? (sorry poor joke)
;)
ha, ha, ha... good one...
Natasha Lion never apologize for what springs from you spontaneously-you could stifle your creativity 😇
HOLY FUCK NO YOU DIDN'T
Thank you for a smile
Thanks for the time and effort, one of the best explanations of subject and the practical I've seen. Goes much appreciated.
Thank you! :)
I sure love your channel, thank you. I started following you about a year ago and I have learned so much about myself through your videos. As a woman with strong yang traits, I believe much of my growth this past year has been to develop my yin, which did not occur to me until I watched this video! I am thrilled to do shadow work and pull into the light my little dark children so I can nurture them and make them whole with me.
What if a true alpha male IS actually the intigration of both?
I've never met a guy who identifies himself as "alpha male" who wasnt train wreck. And I've met a lot of them!
the alpha/beta concept is rooted in the machismo perception. It is proposed unfairly and in favor of the macho male in order to place dominance and hierarchy above other men who are not so outwardly macho. It's a false sense of entitlement masquerading as goodness, or correctness in regards to how a man should carry himself: through unnecessary confrontation and seizing power through force, rather than respect. Machismo is innately evil. The "Chad" or "Alpha" is defined by his passive ability to have little conviction for his own actions, where he gains an increasing sense of self importance. Men who exemplify narcissistic behavior are usually the most dangerous because of this combination of seeking power through force, and lacking the conviction to know if and when they're wrong. A typical "Chad" feature is being oblivious to the world around themselves, so they simply don't observe that other people are irritated by their unfounded confidence and sense of self-entitlement.
Alpha doesnt equal macho.
Very possibly, amongst chimpanzees the alpha is usually the most affectionate male; even matching the affection of the most affectionate females I believe (with affection being a common trait associated with femininity)?As just one of many examples of one of the feminine aspects integrated within an alpha male. At least of the most component and revered alphas amongst chimpanzees; which I'd argue are true alpha males being tyrannical alphas typically become overthrown.
I would say the Alpha male is overcompensating for an over bearing animus...
This is what is missing in the current educational system
ooohh.. I always kind of struggled to apply the animus / anima archetype because I dont fall in a traditional feminine nor masculine expression, but definitely feel a stronger pull towards the masculine internally. And therefore because I read some Jung and wasnt sure how to apply it to my gender expression and kept looking out for an Animus that wasnt really there because I was expressing as Animus. This is literally the first time I hear a modern take on it that makes so much sense and that its always about the opposite and integrating that rather than the opposite of the gender you were assigned at birth. This is like really much clearer now and makes it much more applicable. Needed this, thank you!
THANK you for providing self-therapy content that is not new-age-cheesy! Been looking for that. Great job :) Subscribed.
Thanks for subbing! I'm glad you like the videos. :D
it's odd . I've always felt androgynous inside. yet have always made myself seem more feminine. when I go shopping I'm always attracted to the men's clothing and masculine items. with my job I started dressing more masculine whilst still looking feminine. it's hard to explain
I'm kind of in the same boat. I have a very well-developed masculine side, but I prefer to present myself in a way that is feminine.
i think thisnis vers common for two reasons. one - females were viewed and often times still sre as subordinate, less worthy than men, hence the acceptance of either type. two - i think the power shift between anima and animus also reflect the power struggle between our parents which relates to one, butnis more personal.
so, animus is cooler, but at the same time, especially presentationwise, its easier and has advantages for females. so there seems to be a split between the animustic and animastic anima, if you get what i mean.
Emma Ferguson how you present yourself to the world is your choice. At the same time, how the world perceives you is outside of your control some degree. Be the best you that you can be, and take people as they come.

Thank you, very much appreciated, you explained anima and animus in easy to digest portions and through the use of everyday examples.
I have seen about 30 of your videos so far. They are gems of substance, clarity and form. After my own entheogen awakening this summer, I have gone through a lot of often confusing information in pursuit of the Truth. Ken Wilber's books and your channel are (in very different ways) the best things I have found so far. I really really really appreciate what you are doing.
Thank you for watching so many of my videos! I'm glad that they resonate with you. One of my main hopes for my channel is to give clarity to people experiencing the confusion of stumbling into a spiritual awakening like I did when I was 20. I know firsthand that it can be difficult to get your bearings after a shift in perspective like that. So, I'm very happy that you have found my videos helpful! :D
Hi great video, I'm in the UK and I'm very interested in taking a phycology course online, and jungian phycology is the one I relate to most can you recommend any good online courses for beginners? going to have a marathon on your videos now .
The main interest of Saying 22, however, lies in what follows the disciples' question. Jesus replies: "When you make the two into one, and when you make the inner as the outer, and the upper as the lower, and when you make male and female into a single one, so that the male shall not be male, and the female shall not be female: . . . then you will enter [the kingdom]."
The Gnostic Bible of Thomas
I really enjoyed your video and insight, thank you so much. A lot of my friends think that I am not a normal girl, as I do embrace both sides of masculinity and feminity or not as girly or emotional.
I am currently working on my animas- assertiveness but I think I should be more accepting of my anima side as well. There are far too many bad connotations and labels on women , feminity, on top of that drama queens in my life. So I tend to repress my feminity, but I am still very caring and considerate , but often people judge me by my appearance thinking I'm this innocent sweet girl or sex object.
I want to grow as a person, and reach my full potential and not let others define me with labels or conceptions , explore what I really want and seek to become. Thanks!
Incredibly well explained. I can relate to the anima possession. Thank you so much 🙏
Jung's message seemed to get a bit conflated with your own personal views in this video, I was hoping to learn primarily about Jung's ideas. Maybe change the title to "an interpretation of Jungian psychology" or something along those lines, as it was a bit misleading!
There is a brilliant Jungian named Jordan Peterson. One super useful thing he teaches is to listen to everyone as if you already know they can teach you something,of value, and your mission is to not be sidetracked by getting hung up on either believing or disagreeing with the stuff you can't use. This is like a Magic Translator when talking to New Agish people. New Age creativity is a goldmine when you can use critical thinking to remove the mud.
There is nothing creative about New Age, what planet are you living on? New Age is a rehashment of old ideas, in the form of cache phrases and group think.
How did you come to know this Kelly?

Because I know the spirit of New Age, there is nothing new about it at all. Its as old as the archetypes that Peterson speaks of. Its the idea that we are one with God, that we are God and that we are as everything devine as the energy in the universe. In the end death contradicts that. You can only listen to someone if they are giving insight or new ideas, not rehashing the current ones, let alone old ones.
How do you know if they are giving insight without listening first? "New Age" is a label without any specific meaning just as death is. It's our responsibility to rehash the Truth for those who will listen for it. Only lies can be made new the Truth is always the same. The Spirit is always guiding us to the Truth. The mind looks for and finds reasons to dismiss it but the real Truth can only be found inside when the mind and body are still. If you are interested in finding the Truth, try making yourself comfortable sitting or lying down. Close your eyes and take an inventory of each area of the body allowing all tension to relax. When you are well relaxed, focus on your breathing in order to slow your thoughts. Don't worry that you will still have thoughts, just observe them without becoming involved with them. Try to see them as they without emotional attachment just watch them as they come and go. Soon you may begin to realize that many of them aren't even your own but have been given to you by Society's expectations and you might begin to ask yourself who is it that is observing. Spoiler alert, the observer is you. With practice and sometimes without, the thoughts will stop. This will mark the end of one journey (death) and the beginning of another (resurrection). The story of Jesus is one of unconditional Love and forgiveness, these are the key to the kingdom of God and the kingdom itself. Jesus said, I am the way, the Truth and the Life. The way is Love, the Truth is Love and the Life is Love. The only death that exists in reality is the absence of Love.
During the darkest time in my life, I hallucinate my anima during an intense emotional breakdown. She claim to be " mother nature" and came to me and comforted me by putting her arms around me and telling me "everything is going to be ok" and then disappeared
Tits or gtfo
i experienced something similar but in a dream where i wasnt present. She appeared to me down the road from me by a river that she must have created since she was holding a ceramic jug as she sang this beautiful melody. It was so mystical and she reminded me of a fairy or angel.. it's been a few years now since ive had that dream and even though the vision i have is kind of blurry i still remember how i felt.
Well done. Be your best self. I'm very happy to have listened.
every second is worth the time - great job!

To all the Jordan Peterson fans out there that seem to keep showing up in The Diamond Net's comments sections, I would just like to say that Jordan himself is an advocate of the LGBT and sjw rights community that he criticizes. He is however, not an advocate of compelled speech or half-ass law making that hurts the people that it's supposed to help. Jordan's problem with Bill c-16 etc. (which is what everyone keeps hearing about) stems from its lack of scientificness, as well as it's contradictory language and demand for compelled speech. Similarly, his problems with the sjw's and postmodern leftwing nutjobs lie solely with their lack of scientificness as well as their contradictory language.
... In other words, all I'm trying to say is that the politics many of you have immersed yourself in from other videos, have nothing to do with the truth of the matters relating to the LGBT community. The politics are simply politics, as usual, and as always they have clouded everyone's judgement.
If you people, my fellow Jordan fans, want to circlejerk about Jordan, please just leave this channel and its videos out of it. If however, you really wanted to just tack on a little bit more about your understanding of Jungian ideas, and it's interaction with people like the creator of this video, watch the video all the way through and use your facking head.
I personally really liked this video, and although I do not accept anything I hear on the youtube as fact, or even what I have heard from Jung himself, there is much insight to be gleamed, just from the imaginative stimulation alone that such a video as this one provides. Cheers everyone and thanks for these videos Diamond Net!
I absolutely ❤ your content! I’m so glad I was lead to your channel 🌀I am trying to inergrate my shadow and learning how to do shadow work in order to be in touch with my higher self. I’m learning that this is a continuous process of awareness. And realizing I am complete but never done.
Thank you so much for your help in this process.🕉☯️☮️
Thank you so much you make these concepts easier for me to understand and give great insights.
I was sent here by BTS

Bee tee ess uwu same 😂
By BTS?
Generally a good video but the advice for men was a bit naive. My advice to men as a man myself would be to avoid single mothers as partners because of the legal risk. Should te relationship end the man could easily find himself the "legal father" even though he is not the actual father of the child. A child support land mine that could end up costing 6 figures over a period of a couple of decades. It is absolutely insane to date a single mother.
The other suggestion was to date older women. I doubt this is going to get traction. Biologically and at an unconscious level the man is looking for reproductive potential even if consciously he does not want to reproduce. Biological factors into mate selection in spite of our rational selves. That's why we find some people attractive at first sight. An older woman instantly transmits less fecundity. It would be like asking a woman to consider dating a 93 pound weakling. It aint going to happen.
Those women a man might turn away from may be for good reasons. The man's intuition may be on the ball.
I think you misunderstand the advice in my video. I'm not giving dating or relationship advice. There are plenty other videos about that. I didn't suggest dating older women, but spending time with women outside the norm range you would date (younger and older), so that you come to see them as full people without the interference of the sexual drive which tends to give tunnel vision toward the opposite gender. This, on an unconscious level effects how you come to see yourself as well as your psychological wholeness. The advice in my video is meant to be applied internally to make yourself psychologically whole by integrating the contrapositive side... in your case, your feminine side. It's about creating a connection to the unconscious mind and the Self through developing both your masculine and feminine potentials.
I don't what you were listening to. Do you listen to something and hear something completely different to what been said? Your interpretation of what she said is completely invented in your own hear. When did she say to date older women ? You didn't even understand the basic context of what she was saying
coweatsman that's what you gleaned? This had nothing to do with relationship advice.
KrackowKid He's incorporating what he's learned, with what he's experienced. We're all trying to make sense of life. We're on different paths to the same goal.
I personally find a more reliable source is to look at the woman's family and relationship with her parents. If she grew up in a loving home and her father and mother are on good terms, she likely would have healthy relationship with them and her animus would be developing well (even if she is fairly young). By contrast, a woman who has had a fragmented family or poor relationship with her parents, especially her father, is likely going to become possessed by the animus and is bad news as a romantic partner. With a lack of protector (father) in the family, she likely looks to her animus to fill that role and is going to be stuck in the 1st stage of its development.
I found your explanation clear, motivational and interesting. I am working already on my personal development. I have been suggested to check Jung (anima/animus). Sometimes people perceive me as a mum. I dislike to project this image. In the other hand, the men I have dated in a few occasions have been perceived as boys and they dislike this perception. This is a subject that interest me as it will help me to understand some aspects of my unconscious mind and have tools to improve myself. My choices will also improve to be more assertive in my relationships.
find a man that you trust. stop mothering. do not touch his direction.
that should help.
namaste.
this really does help in exploring my own ADD. Being a quiet and shy man - but wanting the feminine partner - well, slightly complicated. Accepting and bringing these together. Thanks muchly =)

Too much sjw stuff, maybe you are right and it's not your intention to talk about politics, but I couldn't watch it complete because all this lgbt thing is pure nonesense and I don't want to hear another word about it, your other videos are great though.
I am bisexual, so it is natural that I would need to make sure that my understandings of certain concepts have consistency with my experience of reality. I am also a woman who has struggled with feminine repression for a large chunk of my life, and masculine repression for a small chunk of my life. So, to you, these topics are simply political and words like LGBT probably sound like PC buzzwords. For me, it is actually a major part of my human experience. So, my perspective must have integrity with my experiences if they are going to be worth sharing. So, the intent is not to be political but instead to be honest, thorough, and consistent. It's unfortunate that these aspects of life have become politicized to the extent that it's difficult to talk about them without seeming politically divisive. But these aspects being politicized doesn't make them any less real and doesn't make them have any less impact on the details of my life.
I´m a libertarian, I'm in favor of free speech and the free markets, the thing is that all this lgbt movement is against this ideals just because there is a lot of people that doesn't like the lgbt or doesn't want to be a part of it, I have no problem for someone to have any sexual preferences, but I do have a problem when people doesn't respect my freedom of choice and want to obligate me to think and act in their ways, the last time I tried to have a civilized argument with a lgbt this guy jumped over me and bite my face while the woman where applauding him, the repression you are talking about is just a difference in the opinions of individuals and nothing more, now the lgbt want to opress everybody using the government as a tool of repression, I can see you are a nice person but I will never have a good view of the lgbt movement as a colectivism. Sory for my english.
LGBT just means that a person is lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgendered. It has nothing to do with freedom of choice or freedom of speech at all. A lot of political rhetoric tries to frame it in that way though. And I'm always shocked that the rhetoric works and that so many people believe that and actually make genuine attempts to argue against that straw man.
But there is no parallel between having a particular sexual preference/gender identity and trying to take away people's freedoms. People who are LGBT just want to be able to have freedom of choice and freedom of expression themselves without the government telling them what they can and can't do or making laws that disenfranchise them and discriminate against them.
Now, when it comes to individual people who don't accept people who are LGBT, it is natural for us to be upset about this because it is invalidating to our existence and we also know that if that number of people gets too big, it can cause many human rights issues for us. We don't want to go backwards. So, it is natural for people to get upset and protest against it. Some people might even fly off the handle depending on their disposition, because it's painful. But this is not advocating for taking away someone's right to think the way they think or say what they want to say. But it is an attempt to exercise our own freedom of speech and to express our genuine displeasure at people's attempts to invalidate.
For people of a more social progress oriented mindset, they might speak out to try to have influence over the status quo so that people can understand more and hopefully bring the minds of the masses more toward acceptance. This is no different than any other social movement throughout the ages. There have always been and will always be people who have tried to influence the social structure to go in a particular direction: sometimes for better and sometimes for worse. This is not censorship or an attempt to squelch someone's freedoms. It is the opposite. It is freedom of speech in action.
But of course, no one should bite someone or harm someone because of this. That's a really low brow and barbaric way to deal with people who you disagree with. But also consider that there are low brow people in the world. And perhaps poking people of any sexual preference/gender identity (including straight/cis-gendered people) with psychological sticks will occasionally result in an ass-whooping, depending on the demeanor of the individual that you upset. But most people will be able to respond without violence to your disagreement with their lifestyle, even if they do get angry.
Also, to be clear, (and I'm not sure if this is what you meant by what you posted) LGBT people are not trying to get other people to become LGBT. It's not like an attempt to convert people over. That's not actually possible in the first place. If a person is straight, then they can't be anything else but straight. It's just trying to raise awareness so that people realize that being LGBT is just another intonation of humanity, even if it is less common than being straight or cis-gendered. It's like being left-handed. It's normal, even if it isn't that common.
My way of viewing this is that people can do whatever they want, I have not even a singular problem with lgbt if this is away from politics, but it's not, feminists and the left wing are making just a huge problem about this, I hate the conservatives that don't let people live the way they want and those are the ones that shame the lgbt, not the libertarians, the thing that is totally wrong is to teach the little kids about this gender ideology in school when they are just inocent little creatures, also the transgender people want the surgeries to be paid by the taxpayers, same with the abortion, I don't want to pay for other people's problems because I got my own ones, also why there should be p,ropaganda about this, that's insane, sexual preferences are something that should be manifested in a private way, not in a public way, if someone want to have any sexual activity then just get a room and that is for heterosexuals too, why everybody have to make a big deal of this, if someone is gay then why everybody should know it, they should just be and let people guess during time just like with heterosexuals who not talking about, anyway that's my opinion about this, thanks for your answers, you are one of the few lgbt persons that are open minded and can talk about this stuff without irracional resentments, keep it up I loved your jungian shadow material.
The main reason why LGBT issues have become political is because there are laws on the books that are either purposefully or accidentally causing issues for them. As far as wanting tax-payer dollars to go toward abortions or sex change surgery, I have never heard of this. Not to say, that there aren't people who hold more extreme fiscal views like this. I'm sure that they're out there, because everything is out there. But I'm pretty sure that it's a small minority of LGBT people who want that. The reason why I say this is because I have a lot of very politically involved liberals on my Facebook and they post lots of liberal memes and videos. So, I'm always up to date on the mainstream liberal viewpoints, and I've never heard these things advocated for. Mostly, the political issues on the left regarding LGBT people are about getting laws put in place for the protection of LGBT individuals so that they are protected from discrimination in the same way that race, gender, and religion are. Or they are rebuttals to the people who want to ban gay marriage or deny transgendered people the ability to use the restroom of the gender that they identify with. So, that's really the reason why it's politicized. I think it's a shame that it has to be, because it's such a non-political thing at its core. But because society is adjusting to it there is a lot of political resistance on one hand and also a lot of practical political issues that have to be resolved for the adjustment to happen in the political sphere. And there's a lot of tension around these issues because people on one side are afraid to change, and people on the other side don't want to slide backwards into the way things were before. So, that's really the only reason why these things are a big deal right now. It's a time of transitions. A hundred years from now, my prediction is that it will have already ceased to be a political issue as it will just be seen as mundane and nothing to bat an eye at. And all the legislative issues will have already been hammered out. But you're welcome. And thank you for your kind words. I'm glad that you like the Jungian stuff. :)
Great explanation on the subject, made Jung's theory more accessible and easier to digest. Thank you.
Very useful video, thanks. It's just the right overview level needed for a beginner to begin.
Awesome stuff!! I've learned a lot from your videos. Keep up the great work!!
understanding the shadow with some help from your video on the subject, has had immediate positive repercussions on my introspection practice..this video helped me conceptualize the anima animus a little better and i will need a few re-listens to continue to yield more clarity. Just jumping into reading jung's books isnt exactly feasible for me so this is fortunate that I can have exposure to these concepts through youtube videos instead. Thanks
Ive been looking for a good explanation of anima,animus and how to integrate the anima.. And I gotta say now I understand everything.. Your animus must be so well integrated.. I understood every word.. You are awsome I loved you after watching this video..
Thank you! I'm glad that you enjoyed the video. :D
Thanks so much for this wonderful summation of the topic! I wish I had found out about this earlier in my schooling years ago.. you helped me understand the issues I had with a previous partner as we both seem to have had the problem of anima/animus possession. I have a lot to think and reflect on now.
You are amazing! Please, don't stop the work
Did you just assume my gender?
Sorry I just had to!😄 This video is a life saver. I’ve been looking for this for soo long. A kundalini awakening I had a few years back really messed my energies up due to a lack of knowledge. Ive literally been jumping back and forth between Anima and Animus for years. Not realizing what the hell is going on. Loosing my sense of identity/persona even Ego. Now I can understand so much more of my experience. Just found Jungs concept on anima/animus today. I’m so excited!!😍 Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You are a diamond!
Wow. Amazing description of Jungian psychology in a manner that is palatable to the layman. I'm glad I found your video.
Brilliant, well executed video. 💖🌈😍🥰🎙️And, BTW, thank you so much for simplifying Jung; he would have appreciated you cutting through all the medical minuse on so many of these alternative channels. As with C.G. Jung's applicable publication for the general public: Man & His Symbols- you are just as interesting, fascinating and thus easy for us all to retain the information!!!! I will definitely be back for more!😍💖👏 YEAH
Incredible video, from beginning to end. A MUST WATCH
Thank you! :D
Remarkable job explaining this!!! ❤
I am thankful for your content. This helps me understand quite a bit about my friend and myself.
Found this video so knowledgeable. It was a true learning experience for me. Beautiful work Emerald! :-)
Thank you! :D
You did a great job. I really appreciate that you took the time to put his together. 😊👍
Thank you! :D
You explain this stuff so well! I wish I'd found your channel sooner. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you! :)
Thank you for teaching me so much about human behavior. I never really knew why some guys or girls would act the way they do, but this sheds light on that. Also this helps my own development
So greatful I found this. It helped me so much have a diagnosis of my current mental state. Thank you!
This explains alot on the experiences I've had in the subconscious communicating somewhat with a animus/masculine figure. Bouncing on thoughts, ideas and advices.
Wonderfully well articulated and explained. Kudos!! PS: I also talk things out in my own head (or out loud;)
Thank you! :)
So articulate and engaging. Thank you!
