"..Freud who had spent his career predicting the current trend in adult film..." was not expecting that at all lol

“Do not compare, do not measure. No other way is like yours. All other ways deceive and tempt you. You must fulfil the way that is in you. “ — Carl Jung

[EmersetFarquharson]

Jung, quoting Nietzsche in a letter to Freud, is ridiculously awesome, I wasn't ready for this.

“And finally visiting Liverpool” yeh that is a journey into the abyss.

The ego: your camera roll. The persona: your Instagram account. The shadow: you 4Chan posts.

Amazing that on his journey to the land of the dead he made it as far as liverpool.

This is further confirmation that if I ever study philosophy or psychology I will go insane

Jung having his neurosis during World War 1 while also having visions of Europe soaked in blood before is no coincidence in my opinion. This man was so deeply tapped into the collective unconscious world he often described. Maybe only paralleled by Nietschze who would predict the horrors of the 20th century decades before they happened.

Wont lie didnt think youd be able to fit such quality into just an 11 minute video, this is great

My little nephew wanted to watch this but I said “too Jung, son”

[stevepowsinger]

"You must fulfill the way that is in you" Jung is quoted at the end. An excellent overview of a complicated man. I had no idea his youth was so strange. Jung, I think, is weird but has some interesting theories that are beyond science and beyond provability.

Wish I could talk to him. And say thanks for all his work. He gave me the strength and courage to face my own inner darkness. Bless C.G. Jung ⭐

I remember reading Man and His Symbols in my early twenties.
It had an amazing effect on my life, it was discovering an mine of jewels and precious metals.
I would definitely recommend it as a great piece of Western literature.

With Coronavirus I found myself sitting in basically the same room for 2+ weeks and I felt like I was actually losing my mind. In that time I firmly and epiphanically landed on the idea of what I later learned was philosophical idealism after being a devout externalist who's studied physics for most of my life, and upon that realisation I honestly felt like my sanity was slipping away. For days afterwards I needed only several hours of sleep to feel rested, and I suffered from sleep paralysis for the first time in my life after waking to whispers in my ear. I had ideas about maths, these ideas about philosophy and psychology, ideas about physics; they felt so profound and motivating, but I had nobody around me to dicuss them with. I noticed that without the confirmation or validation of 'other people', given idealism, you really cannot discern such feelings from utter nonsense; no amount of rereading your own words can ever prove that with comforting certainty to you in such a state of mind. I spoke with my family about everyday matters whilst what felt like the shameful tumour of insanity hummed inside my head, and eventually I sought some external validation from people I felt I could trust. They actually granted me some relief from the fear, but now I almost wish that I didn't resort to that. Through this experience I internalised that language isn't as strong a foundation as I once thought it was. We've hijacked our capacity to recognise sounds, exploited our capacity to produce them, and created this mass game of forced imagination that we call language. The 'realest' thing there is is our direct experience, but now I'm taking advantage more of the 'unreal' experiences that the imagination offers, and I'm finding that my dreams are becoming more vivid and identifiable amongst other things. I take the time to see things I haven't seen before, notice smells I haven't smelled before, notice the feeling of the ground on my feet, the shroud of depression I feel over my head when I'm with my family contrasted with the contentness and warmth I feel around others, listening to how sounds change as I turn my head from the source; yesterday I stared up into the blue sky and imagined that actually I were pinned to a terrestrial ceiling by gravity above an infinite abyss and that's a feeling that only one's imagination can grant you. 10/10 would lose my mind again, I can see why Jung did what he did.

I found Carl Jungs teachings through Tool's music. I am so thankful Maynard Keenan taught me about this man and his ideas. I am studying philosophy in school now because of how effective the application of Jungs work is in my life. Right next to Nietzsche and John Ruskin, Jung is my favorite.

“Intense intellectual activity and then neurosis” ah so that’s what happened.

[EpimetheusHistory]

Very Interesting video, loved the drawings

[xenogard]

"Freud who had spent his career predicting the current trend in adult film.." I almost did a spit take when I heard that, hahaha. I'm definitely gonna quote that when appropriate from now on.

[benxo]

Been drawn to Jung through Peterson and I have to say, what an absolutely wonderful mad bastard.
