How To Become Whole (Carl Jung & The Individuation Process)

According to Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung, the ultimate self-realization is the integration of the unconscious into the conscious. This is called the individuation process. So, how does this work?

People say they love to travel, but this is the ultimate journey.

[sunnycheba]

Self realization is so painful. Figuring out what happened to you. Most of bad behavior is born from childhood trauma.

[ossen]

Humanity has explored so much on the planet and outside of it but many are still rather hesitant to explore the realms of inner kingdom.
*That's where the truth lies.*

Carl Jung is a blessing to my life, he made me start putting up the pieces of the puzzles which had been lost and suppressed over time since my childhood, I was a forced to be ripen emotionally and mentally of the situations, like a young fruit picked from the tree out of its proper time. And the results are so full of emptiness I had never known myself since then for 30 years of my life. I was believed to become a nice guy, but really I am a lost guy.

You took a topic I already know about and explained it in ways that taught me more than I knew in such a short time. Thank you

[valorespodcast]

It is a painful process, unfortunately, but absolutely liberating. It also has a lot to do with the relationships we sustain with our close relatives. Despite being painful, the individuation process also liberates us from misunderstandings or resentments we could carry within ourselves. Thank you for the video!

Lower self, higher self, as above so below, the tree of life. The body.

I had a near death experience when I was 21. That’s actually what started me on this journey. I do a lot of shadow work and yeah, this shit really isn’t easy but it’s so worth it. Embracing and living with your shadow side does do wonders.

[ricardoceballos]

Loves your videos man. I really like the stoics, buddhist and taoist videos. Keep the good work!

[properpsychology]

“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

[marywandera]

That other half of ourselves is a by product of suppressed emotions, triggers, childhood trauma, relationship rejection, cause and effect, the system's manipulation...to keep us trapped in the shadow. I've lived in it. I've healed through it. Becoming whole is remaining in the light, living a balanced life that adheres to the universal laws. Being morally true to yourself and honest with others at all times. But most of all loving and accepting yourself daily the way God loves and accepts you.

I love your videos, thank you for making them.

I feel like I have to opposite issue of integrating my femininity with our masculine selves, my father was not a very good role model for myself and my siblings, and as a result I didn't fully develop my own healthy masculinity and control of my aggression. Looking back I think that I never properly manifested a healthy control and understanding of my aggression because I did not want to become and reflect what I saw in my dad, which was his own unstable aggression. The result was I never stood up myself, or rather I never learned how because I was afraid of expressing aggression. Even as a now 30 year old, I have issues with, even small, interpersonal conflict and intimidation. That's where my work lies. I have no hangups going to a yoga class, expressing my emotions, even dancing; it's the classical "male" actions I have trouble with

[Twinklesparks]

It's crazy how much this is reflecting my own thoughts as to how people work. I think about it a lot. It's kinda fascinating how this stuff just clicks when you understand it. Kinda like its common sense, which i suppose it would be.

Great job Einzelgänger, i hope everyone here can understand in some way this concepts and be aware of it (at least try to experience it). In my case, it took many years go out of my majority unconscious state and the shadow was a determinant part of the process. Everyone has to know that we (the seekers) are in all parts of the planet looking for answers, my advice, just observe, all the answers aren't in a abstract way, many are hidden in the direct experience of life.

Carl Jung knows how to highlight the duality mentioned in the Dao in the psyche of the mind so well that he's a literal treasure trove of spiritual insight despite his approach being more on the physical side of our understanding.

Great Series Brother, really am loving your videos.

With love,
