Jung’s Collective Unconscious, Participation in Eternity and Becoming a Whole Man

Öde Nerdrum, Jan-Ove Tuv & Sebastian Salvo sit down to discuss Carl Jung's idea about the collective unconscious.

Topics in this episode include:
• Art is collective consciousness, kitsch is collective unconsciousness
• Translating the unconscious, making the archetypes understandable
• Jung reintroduced spirituality, but in scientific language
• Modern man divided between science and belief — politics fills the gap.
• Opposition between Jung's individualism and collective unconscious?
• Not an island unto oneself but learning from all cultures and all times
• Save the Cat! and why we only have a handful of stories
• Protestantism and art as iconoclast movements
• Rejecting collective unconscious robs the castle of its defense
• Becoming a whole man through "re-ligion"
• The superficiality of Art's claim to archetypal content
• On Persephone and Demeter and Beauty and the Beast
• Cindarella & Peter Pan: Many characters are aspects of one person
• The Anima and the Animus: Have men lost more than women?
• The reward of performing "the persona"
• Daphne and Apollo» VS theater and the Dionysian mysteries
• Little Red Riding Hood: Understanding, not knowing the story
• The genuine laughter in Rembrandt's "Self-Portrait as Zeuxis"

The conversation was produced by Bork S. Nerdrum and assisted by Alastair Blain.
The centerpiece was a 19th century reproduction of G. F. Watts' Hope.

I really love hearing Öde Nerdrum. Thank you for the video!

Dude this channel is so dope. There is no reason you shouldn’t have 100k subs with your body of work. I think it’s time to brainstorm some new marketing strategies to make your work visible to the right people. Cuz this sort of content is highly sought after and will only gain in popularity. It just hasn’t gained traction properly to be put in front of the eyes of your target audience.

Great talk, importent things to ponder on. Will happily become a Patreon to watch the rest!

We as a collective are in the deep blue see, and few will face the monster of the ID. Signs and symbols communicate with the collective subconscious (underworld) that drives the collective conscious. Example; the rainbow flag that is upside down, red at the top instead of purple, root chakra at the top of your head and your third eye at your arse (symbolical), feelings instead of truth. And I have observed the woke trend etc much feelings little understanding…

You should be more aware of oriental masters of psychology. Jung went to India to learn from their approach to psyche. Unfortunately he didn’t had the courage to meet a true alive master. Reports say he avoided the encounter with Sri Ramana Maharshi many times; because he knew his intelligence and theories would seem very superficial. And they are. Very interesting and in a way very insightful, but on the other hand, very superficial. Something similar happened to Alexander the Great, his life had two important encounters, one with Diogenes when he went to the conquest of India and one on the comeback with an indian sannyasin. Aristotle was very aware of them, he told Alexander to bring two “things” from the indias, the vedas and a sannyasin; he failed. Eastern culture have a much longer tradition on psychology. Bokushu, Mirá, Tozan, Nagarjuna, Bahaudin, and of course the most complete, the most scientific, the most intelligent, Siddharta Gautama. Sadly the English translations are quite disappointing. Their approach to conveying truths are ao different that to us it seems simply religious talks. But they are not.. in fact they correlate much more to kitsch philosophy then Carl Jung ideas.

"God system".... Now, the ignorance is very plain with this statement from Hitchens. The Creator who is Holy and loves or the Creator who is Holy and condemns is a problem to the creature who hates his creator for what reason? We found favor, why not give thanks to him who allowed you to think. He even invites you to reason with Him. Poor Christofer, He will never know the love of God. And you?
