Very interesting the idea about how vulnerable a society becomes when it is composed of people who don't know who they are! Very relevant to current times and governmental techniques.

Some succint bullet points to analyze:
- There's more to our beings and to whom we are than just our Persona, the mask we socially project.
- There's more to know about ourselves and our unconscious than just what the Ego knows.
- Accepting one's shadow is crucial to a better development of the Self, withdrawing qualities that are hidden and repressed that one wishes to integrate within us in a healthier way and are dying to come out.
- What we look for in a lover, friend or family member of the opposite sex is possibly a reflection of our Anima/Animus. But I'm still digesting this one out, I suspect most our 'crushes' are overlapping in qualities with our own Anima/Animus, thus we draw ourselves to those people.
- The true self is a never ending journey of alignment and acceptance and even self-awareness of all these bullet points and more.

"A million zeros joined together do not, unfortunately, add up to one." Wow. Stopped me dead in my tracks.

Yung also discovered the Dark Hour, the Midnight Channel, and Mementos before anyone else did.

Holy crap, Personas and Shadows, the Atlus rpg game Persona certainly has got their terminologies right.

"Individuation means becoming a single, homogeneous being, and, insofar as individuality embraces our innermost, last, and incomparable uniqueness, it also implies becoming one's own self. We could therefore translate individuation as coming to self-hood or self-realization."
- Carl Jung

Yet again such great quality to your work.

Hey man great channel you have, I have one suggestion though: you might want to consider adding a number to the title (and thumbnail?) of individual parts of multi part series. That would make things so much easier!

When I was a young man, returning to my home town after travelling for more than a year, I really noticed the " persona" many of my schoolmates had adopted since beginning their careers. In some cases it was quite shocking, how quickly they had changed so much. At the time I knew nothing about Jung, but I thought of it as a " mask" they had adopted. Jung is definitely one of the most important shaman of our times, I would suggest

Does anyone feel connected with the Self and the universe? The only thing that gives me these feelings is knowledge. We truly are just bits of information carried around.

"I am a shadow... The true self..."

Plaudits to you sir, this is brilliant. The last quote gave me chills, it's exactly what we can see going on around us on a huge scale.

[Kakashi]

that last line of the lecture is so powerful, it has a resonance about it. your work is amazing.

[sterlz]

INCREDIBLE.
I've had some pretty profound experiences lately, and this is one of those video's that has just happened to come at the exact right time for me.
Thank you for making this video and sharing some beautiful insights.

[Kris]

Excellent explanation of Jung's work. Thank you for taking the time to put this together.

[mememaker]

Hi guys. This is true. I dropped my mask and feel great. I lost weight easily because Im not holding back feelings. I do agree that I do not conform as before but what I gain is worth more than social praise or money.

[leahlin]

I came here because of BTS but I'm really interested in this now. It touched me so deeply. Gotta buy the book on Amazon!

[wilfredobenitez]

Wonderful and concise introduction to an understanding of "Individuation" something I realize in watching this, has been a guiding force in me since early on in my life.
