The Psychology of Knowing Yourself

Показать описание
Carl Jung published his book Psychological Types in 1921, introducing four functions of consciousness: thinking, feeling, sensation and intuition, and the two attitudes through which these four functions are deployed: introversion and extraversion.

Jung’s functions follow a fourfold structure, which is typical of the archetype of the Self. We are dealing with the archetype of the differentiation of consciousness, which helps you to become who you are meant to be. Jung combined function types and attitude types to describe, in turn, eight function-attitudes. These were the psychological types in Jung’s original description. However, very few of us, even among psychologists, can recognise the eight function-attitudes described by Jung.

Jungian psychologist John Beebe expands on Jung’s work on types, extending the fourfold model to an eightfold model of personality, as well as associating an archetype with each type. The first four archetypes are: the hero/heroine, the father/mother, the puer aeternus/puella aeterna, and the anima/animus. These are ego-syntonic, as they align harmoniously with the needs and goals of the ego. As for the other four function-attitudes, we enter the realm of the shadow, or the ego-dystonic personality, which includes: the opposing personality, the senex/witch, the trickster and the demonic/daimonic personality.

We may see these eight archetypes as different personalities within the vast theatre of the unconscious. They too have a role to play in our lives, seeking to express themselves outwardly. It is by integrating these archetypes of the collective unconscious that we truly become an individual. This process is at the heart of individuation. It is the journey of discovering your essence—who you were meant to be.

When an inner situation is not made conscious, it happens outside, as fate. If we do not gain control over the images within us, we run the risk of them gaining control over us.

Self-awareness is both a gift and a challenge. The more we uncover about ourselves, the more responsibility we have to grow, heal, and make conscious choices. This video really makes you reflect on that inner journey!

Having this type of understanding while experiencing "the day to day grind" puts you in a totally different state of awareness and existence.

Most people think they are themselves — but they’re just living out habits, fears, and borrowed beliefs. Knowing yourself isn’t introspection… it’s confrontation.
And it’s one of the hardest things you’ll ever do.

All of life is just trying so desperately to have just ONE truthful conversation... with yourself. That's it. Once you have had that, everything else is gravy✌️

It's extremely understandable as to how some of these men could write complete papers on specific parts of psychology when you start being introspective yourself.

The discussions and wars you can have in your own mind, good or bad, are absolutely fascinating. Sometimes scary, but beautiful nonetheless

Looking back to where I was 20 years ago, I can only imagine where I'll be 20 years from now. I've tried to learn more about myself, embrace it, and work with and through it to achieve success in life. I can only hope I continue down the never-ending path of self-knowledge. We must remember to never get lost on this journey, but to move forward and work to bring about betterness for ourselves and those around us in the real world.

50:37 to 51, 10: ''When we are able to translate the emotions into images... we are inwardly calmed and reassured. However, if we leave those images hidden in the emotions, we might be torn to pieces by them. When an inner situation is not made conscious, it happens outside, as fate. If we do not gain control over the images within us, we run the risk of them gaining control over us.''

I'm aware of all of my strengths, weaknesses, negatives amd positives
But I accept all of those facets of myself
I'm a flawed being that tries to do what is right for me
That's all I can be

I really felt this, and it's been one of my main issues.
Judging people who are struggling for their struggles.
I will improve myself then save whoever I can, the blind can't lead the blind.!
