// About this Video //
In this video, I provide a general summary of what Jung meant by the process of Individuation. This is not meant to be an in-depth lecture but rather an introduction to the process, which will be followed up by lectures that cover the process in more detail.
Most people are afraid to fully be themselves. They’re afraid to embrace the parts of themselves that might be regarded as unacceptable, because embracing these unacceptable parts makes them feel uncomfortable. In the conscious-half, they construct an ideal image of themselves: an image formed out of the bits and pieces of their past that they deem as good and acceptable. And as a result, in the unconscious-half, they repress the parts of themselves that they view as bad and unacceptable. In Jungian psychology, this repressed part of the personality is called "The Shadow." Unless The Shadow is integrated into the personality, a person can never reach their fullest potential. Instead, one will always remain incomplete, fractured, and partial-living a life of regret rather than the full life that could have been.
Carl Jung phrased the concept of individuation, which is at its core, about discovering and integrating all parts of your personality, even the ones that at first glance seem quite negative. This process of becoming whole is often paired with some harsh realizations and it more often than not begins from rock bottom where you simply do not know where to go.
What does it really mean to mature psychologically and spiritually? Carl Jung’s answer to that question was what he called ‘individuation’ - a lifelong process aimed toward becoming whole, unique, and integrated. But what does that mean practically? What is its deeper, esoteric psycho-spiritual goal? How does it relate to archetypes, our shadows, and even our souls? In this transmission, we explore. What is most important to me is that you have to stop thinking about getting rid of your ego? And on the other hand also stop thinking about attempting to force. The realization of the Self. What is there is there and you cannot change it. Individuation also means Stop Trying To Kill Your Ego - Do not move against your ego!

About the Channel
In my videos, I look at Jungian topics through an interpretative lens, advancing themes discussed by Carl Jung along trajectories of psychology, psychoanalysis, theology and philosophy. Exploring Carl Gustav Jung’s model of the psyche, his concept of individuation, and his philosophy in general may help us to uncover paths toward a more full and complete Self. For me, this is especially about “learning to see”, that is, regaining the ability to witness the dynamics of reality unfolding before us. In these dynamics, I argue throughout the videos, we find a direct access to who we become.
