C.G. Jung - death is not the end

This dialouge was written down by kierah16. She has her own channel here on youtube. Thank you very much, Kierah16.

Interviewer: I know that you say death is psychologically just as important as birth and like it is an integral part of life, but surely, it can't be like birth if it is an end. Can it?
Jung: Yes. If it is an end and there we are not quite certain about this end because we know that there are these pecular faculties of the psyche- that it isn't entirely confined to space and time. You can have dreams or visions of the future. You can see around corners and such things. Only igonrants deny these facst (ja - german). Its quite evident that they do exist and have existed always. Now these facts show that the psyche- in part, at least- is not dependent on these confinements. And then what? When the psyche is not under that obligation to....live in time and space alone- and obviously, it doesn't. Then, in .. to that extent, they psyche is not submitted to those laws and that means a..a practical continuation of life of a sort of psychical existence beyond time and space.
Interviewer: Do you- yourself believe that death is probably the end or do you believe....
Jung: Well, I can't say - wissen Sie ? (german translated wold be: you see ?)- the word "believe" is a difficult thing for me. I don't "believe"; I must have a reason for a certain hypothesis. Either I know a thing; and when I KNOW it, I don't need to believe it. If I- I don't allow myself, for instance, to believe a thing just for sake of believing it. I can't believe it! But when there are sufficient reasons for a certain hypothesis, I shall accept these reasons naturally. And to say "We have to recon with the possibility of [so and so]." You know?
Interviewer: Well...now you told us that we should regard death as being a goal and to stray away from it is to evade life and life's purpose. What advice would you give to people in their later life to enable them to do this when most of them must, in fact, believe that death is the end of everything?
Jung: Well...you see I have treated many old people and its quite interesting to watch what their conscious doing with the fact that it is apparantly threatened with the complete end. It disregards it. Life behaves as if it were going on and so I think it is better for old people to live on...to look forward to the next day; as if he had to spend centuries and then he lives happily, but when he is afraid and he doesn't looks forward; he looks back. He petrifies. He gets stiff and he dies before his time, but when hes living on, looking forward to the great adventture that is ahead, then he lives. And that is about what your concious is intending to do. Of course it is quite obvious that we're all going to die and this is the sad finale of everything, but never-the-less, there is something in us that doesn't believe it, apparently, but this is merely a fact, a psychological fact. Doesn't mean to me that it proves something. It is simply so. For instance, I may not know why we need salt, but we prefer to eat salt too because we feel better. And so when you think in a certain way, you may feel considerably better. And I think if you think along the lines of nature, then you think properly

[@timhallas4275]

There is nothing "beyond psychology"... psychology has exposed many beliefs as human weakness.

[@timhallas4275]

@Carson Lee In other words, Jung envisioned the mind from the perspective of the brain, and then imagined a soul, just like every other human has. The difference being that he had the intellect to make sense of it all.

[@psychologyis]

I showed this to someone and he said, 'this guy is just speculating'. I read some comments that say 'this is his opinion'. Opining and speculating is exactly what Jung is not doing. He is simply acknowledging facts about the psyche. His understanding of the nature of the psyche was profoundly keen. Long live this mystic.

[@dallas1891]

100% speculating when you think the psyche is anything beyond the mere functioning of your conscious brain. There is no evidence that a psyche remains after death and therefore a belief in it should be reserved until evidence is provided.

[@e.l.norton]

Seeing death as a "goal" is probably the best summation of what we perceive as mortality that I've come across. Death is simply the completion of A cycle, not THE cycle. Almost a graduation, if you will. The body is a vehicle, a conductor of consciousness, not conciousness itself, as a car is to the driver. Eventually the car breaks down and runs no more, at which point the "driver" moves onto a new vehicle, or is liberated to walk on foot if they choose. Death is just a transition point between two different realities.

Rupert Sheldrake's The Science Delusion is very enlightening about the materialist straitjacket that modern science finds itself in. There is a great deal that indicates, as Jung also does, that materialism does not provide an adequate explanation. I was pleased that he mentions JW Dunne's An Experiment With Time. Having read that as a fourteen- or fifteen-year-old I used to write my dreams down every morning for two or three months and review them every day to see what predictions there had been. Perhaps Jung's greatest strength (apart from his intelligence and imagination) was his ability to perceive: he did not dismiss evidence because it did not fit in with received opinion.

Carl Jung was a genius and thus much misunderstood by the establishment and the scientific community of his era. He filled the gap beetween objective, scientific (rational) thought and subjective, spiritual (soul) experience. Although he has passed away for more than five decades, his seminal works are still alive. His concepts about life, death, the beyond, symbols and archetypes are very inspiring to people who are not confined within the realm and boundaries of material existence.

Amen, that's exactly what he did. He united the concepts of feelings, the language of the soul, with "knowledge", rationality of the rational mind (or ego).

"For instance, I may not know why we need salt, but we prefer to eat salt too because we feel better. And so when you think in a certain way, you may feel considerably better. And I think if you think along the lines of nature, then you think properly." I find this to be the most profound part of his opinion, since it touches at something that we don't, scientifically, regard to be a 'vital nutrient' of our existence. Meaning that, accordance with life and experiencing our 'spiritual nature' might vivify us in a way that is as real as how the nutrients fuel our cell's mechanisms. And that one day we might find this 'pathway' and recognize its need for 'proper nutrition'.

[@RichardStrong86]

I believe that concepts of god and heaven are interpretations of experiences that are common throughout all of the human race. These aren't 'near-death' experiences but rather glimpses into something that you've long forgotten; the true nature of reality. This will seem like spiritual rubbish to most but to people who've experienced it, it is very real (probably more so than the world we live in).

[@DeMarkieSade]

To look at life as though it is not merely a battle that is threatened by a complete end. But to live life and enjoy it, looking forward to each day as though it were going to go on forever, for milliuniums, and then it negates that fear of annihlation, that may or may not be annihlation. Look forward and not look back, for whoever is looking back continually, is bound to be falling and tripping as they are going foward.

[@jeng020]

He's not saying "death is not the end." He's saying that many people reap both psychological and, by extension, emotional and physical benefit from believing that existence continues after death. The "psychological fact" he addresses is that so many people he has interviewed are so firmly convinced that death is not the end that they conduct their lives on the assumption that they will continue to exist in some form (hopefully a pleasant one) after they die. He is saying that people who are discouraged and distressed at death being the end of their existence may actually die before they otherwise might, were they to believe in an afterlife and reap the psychological and emotional benefits of looking forward to a continued existence - perhaps a reunion with deceased loved ones and the like. My take: belief is powerful stuff, folks. A thing doesn't have to be "true" or empirically shown to be true to be believed and to influence people's lives, choices, and attitudes in powerful ways. Belief has been the cause of great goodness and also horrendous atrocities and abuse. If you think about it, every one of us has a set of beliefs and assumptions that we operate with, which gives our lives meaning and purpose. You might think that your church, your political party, your favorite media or talk radio host, or your nation is the only good or "true" one, but a lot of other people think the same of their beliefs. Ideally, our beliefs give our lives meaning and purpose, help us be productive and helpful members of society, and allow others (who may be quite different from us) to do the same.

[@turtleshell1814]

But he is saying death isn't the end. Or at least there is reason to think so. He brings up his concept of Synchronicity to show that the psyche operates outside of space/time and so space/time is obviously no restriction for the psyche. So if the psyche isn't restricted by space/time then maybe it persists after death.

And went, as no one knows, When all my house lay long in deep repose All in the dark went right, Down secret steps, disguised in other clothes, (O coming of delight!) In dark when no one knows, When all my house lay long in deep repose. And in the luck of night In secret places where no other spied I went without my sight Without a light to guide Except the heart that lit me from inside. It guided me and shone Surer than noonday sunlight over me, And led me to the one Whom only I could see Deep in a place where only we could be. O guiding dark of night! O dark of night more darling than the dawn! O night that can unite A lover and loved one, Lover and loved one moved in unison. And on my flowering breast Which I had kept for him and him alone He slept as I caressed And loved him for my own, Breathing an air from redolent cedars blown. And from the castle wall The wind came down to winnow through his hair Bidding his fingers fall, Searing my throat with air And all my senses were suspended there. I stayed there to forget. There on my lover, face to face, I lay. All ended, and I let My cares all fall away Forgotten in the lilies on that day.

The truth of the matter is that 'knowing' about death or anything else for that matter,will not always come down to institutional or scientific proof. There are some things that will be an individualized knowing. MOST of us 'know' that there is something more to us and life because it's on a deeply intuitive level and science will NEVER prove that to anyone. Death is just as 'important' as life because both are of the same coin. So to just focus on one without the other is unwise.

The reason is better than believing. That's why Scarface (Al Pacino) said: "Any day above the ground is a good day". I feel that before the reason, there is the need.

Jung himself said it: "Symptoms are manifested by the cause, and the cause is a manifestation of the need". Eliminating the need, would eliminate the cause & the symptoms.

Death is when we wake up from the dream we are currently living in...but we never think of this life as being a dream because we can only remember seconds of the dreams we dream at night...so society never considers that this life is a dream since they consider a dream to last seconds, but this life is actually a second when viewed from the highest level .The path towards God is through ourselves...that's the meaning of life...to get to the final destination which is where everything was created

[@Scrumpilump2000]

Jung seems eminently practical, a real down-to-earth guy.

[@wearealljustclowns]

We are seeking our return back to the natural while perpetually and simultaneously moving further away from it. Intuitive introvert here. A life of suffering

[@eyesofwight]

The intersection of our life is death.

[@andymengnz]

One thing is certain, we have all experienced death.. can you remember before you were born, then that is what it is like after your life is done. I know that people may say this is an extreme simplification but, most complex things in nature are built on simplistic forms that are made complex through a simplistic structures building upon each other to form new structures and iterative processes. There is a secret that many have but few can tell.

[@Napoleonwilson1973]

Andy Meng before you were born you were neither dead or alive.

[@MrMontyBurnsDog]

Its comprehensive to me too and I`m sure to most if not everyone else. Some people say death will have exactly the same properties as before you were born so again just as you weren`t aware of anything before you were born so you are most likely to be after you are gone. Allow me to quote a line from the Monty Python film Life of Brian. You know..You come from nothing,you`re going back to nothing.What have you lost?Nothing ^.^

[@92ninersboy]

@paerarru I think that quite often a person, no matter how intelligent, is basically so identified with the ego that the thought of a "collective unconscious" is something he doesn't want to approach - it's annihilation of the ego in his mind. If one goes along in life self-identified as a river, defined by it's water and banks, the idea of entering into a vast ocean is too overwhelming to consider - it's less threatening, in a way, to just see it as a complete end. The ego is limits.

[@timhallas4275]

One must temper his beliefs with large doses of reality. We all have two lives that are intertwined within the mind. The first being the physical life we live in this reality that we share with all other living creatures,, and the second being the imaginary, fictional character that we have created in the mind, who does not exist in the real world, but only in that story we write him into. Where these two meet is the doorway between reality and the imagination. When I was a child, I was convinced that I had the power to become weightless and fly above the trees,, only because I gave myself that power in my dreams. That was my introduction to the mind. Since that time I have found many answers to the mystery of "who" I am.

[@DeMarkieSade]

The first law of thermodynamics is that energy, which is what the soul or inner working of the human body is comprised, cannot be created, nor can it be destroyed, but it can only change forms. when the conduit harnessing the energy is destroyed, the energy leaves the faulty or dilipidated Conduit or power housing and goes into something else. It finds another form, or conduit. it is waht happens when you get shocked, the energy is leaving its secure housing and enters into you.

[@Cajaquarius]

Possibly, though I doubt it is that simple either because even nature isn't nearly as simple at it's simplest parts. Even atoms aren't just "empty space" as I was taught, they are neutrons, electrons, charges, and all manner of fantastic and extraordinarily complex things. Are quarks and sub atomic matter the smallest or does it get infinitely smaller? Is it turtles all the way down? Fun to think about but no real answers, still. I do doubt death is the end, though.

[@AnEscapedMind]

@orr940 What do you mean "only one 7?"

[@Thisnamewasnotaken]

I am alive because, and only because, other lives have ended -- that I may borrow from them their essences and energy. As such, when I my time comes, something else will be born and make use of my essences and energy. The cycle of nature will continue long after I am gone, as it did long before I was born. There is nothing to fear, but -- there is much to accept and embrace. I accept my demise as I accept my birth, and I embrace them both as I embrace the universe from which I came.

[@MountBaldy]

@ 0:26 he says you can have dreams or visions of the future, but why couldn't these dreams be made up in one's mind? why is it that he ASSUMES these visions are self evident. Wow, he's a bright guy and a thinker, but I expect more than this type of emotional assertion from such a stalwart.

[@mackleswimbaits]

There is a study and a speculation, that the mind may have evolved to produce beautiful and euphoric hallucinations in people moments before death. Some people say that this may be in order to ease the fright and the natural discomfort of death

[@birdandthe]

what time do the drugs wear off ?

[@squamish4244]

@MrXephyr Jung was influenced by Pauli in his development of the concept, however, and Pauli became fascinated by it himself in turn, more precisely.

[@PhilosphyCore]

@treflippunk beautiful and irrefutable! well said, my friend.

[@residue102]

I 'know' you bro. I've seen things that can only be understood by experience. most people dont get it. I can tell them miracles, and they just pass over it like it was nothing....

[@squamish4244]

@MrXephyr No, it assigns to synchronicity nothing more than our tendency to seek patterns in things. That is not a modern interpretation, Jung's original interpretation has only changed in that Jungian psychologists have expanded on the idea.

[@tonyonly2]

@ebowass I don't see the connection between "thinking small" and making the point that the title implies a quote from Jung when in fact this is not the case in fact I suspect a deliberate misquote-thats the only point I'm making here. I'm actually open to all the possibilities around death but it's really just speculation(to get back to Jung's point). We might just as well debate how many angels dance on pinheads. But in any case , we'll all get there soon enough-good luck.

[@omarlives]

In the early part of this he mentions how we can have dreams of the future. I am a first had witness to that. My bro had a dream of me and my ex best friend for 15 years gettin' into a fight in a hallway the day before it happened. he thought nothing of it until he heard what happened. There are still things we can't explain. This is a good example of it. FUCK A COINCIDENCE. THIS MUST BE DIVINE RELATED.
