How to be Genuinely Authentic - Carl Jung (Jungian Philosophy)

In this video we will be talking about how to be authentic from the philosophy of Carl Jung. He found his own school of psychology, called analytical psychology and his philosophy is dubbed as “Jungian philosophy”.

According to Carl Jung, in order to be authentic, it is crucial to face four of your archetypes in order to go through the individuation process. These are the
01. Persona
02. The shadow
03. The anima or animus
04. The self
I hope you enjoyed watching the video and hope that this wisdom on being authentic from the philosophy of Carl Jung will be helpful in your life.

Carl Jung, together with Sigmund Freud and Alfred Adler, is one of the 3 founders of psychoanalysis which is a set of psychological theories and methods aiming to release repressed emotions and experiences - in other words, to make the unconscious conscious. Jung was born in Switzerland in 1875 and died in 1961, leaving behind great works in the fields of psychiatry, anthropology, archaeology, literature, philosophy, psychology and religious studies. Jung had Freud as a mentor for a good part of his career but later he departed from him. This division was painful for Jung and it led him to found his own school of psychology, called analytical psychology as a comprehensive system separate from psychoanalysis. If classical psychoanalysis focuses on the patient’s past, as early experiences are very important in personality development, analytical psychology primarily focuses on the present, on mythology, folklore, and cultural experiences, to try to understand human consciousness. One of the most important ideas of analytical psychology which Jung founded is the process of individuation, which is the process of finding the self - something Jung considered an important task in human development. While he did not formulate a systematic philosophy, he is nonetheless considered a sophisticated philosopher - his school of thought dubbed “Jungian philosophy”. Its concepts can apply to many topics covered in the humanities and the social sciences. A good part of his work was published after his death and indeed there are still some articles written by him that to this day have yet to be published. Some of his most important books are: “Psychology of the Unconscious”, “Man and His Symbols”, “The Archetypes and The Collective Unconscious”, “Modern Man In Search of a Soul”, “The Psychology of the Transference”, “Memories, Dreams, Thoughts”, and “The Relations Between the Ego and the Unconscious”. Besides being a great writer and a researcher, he was also an artist, a craftsman and even a builder. His contribution is enormous and there is a great deal we can learn from his works.

Carl Jung said: “Wholeness is not achieved by cutting off a portion of one’s being, but by integration of the contraries”.

Every time I feel a strong dislike towards someone I ask myself what aspect that person is reflecting that might be repressed within me. And I never fail to see it actually. The dislike lessens. Doesn't necessarily disappear but it really does lessen and I don't hold onto it that much anymore.

Best video I ever watched in order to help from my trauma of being inauthentic and not knowing who I am and accepting toxicity, dependency people pleasing instead of prioritizing my own needs.

Finally a video I can understand. Most are either wildly inaccurate to what CG Jung found or they make it way too technical and out of reach of understanding. Maybe I’m projecting, but maybe they are too. I genuinely appreciate your presentation of Jung’s work in your video.

God bless you for this. So many rabbit holes but I finally found one that explains things well.

[mississippiatheistette]

if I'm projecting my insecurities on to you and acting a certain way to influence how you think about me, and you're projecting your insecurities on to me and acting a certain way to influence how i think about you, then who the hell could POSSIBLY ever claim to be truly authentic or actually know anything at all about anything at all, and what the hell is ACTUALLY going on????
