Carl Jung and the Archetypes - Dr Kevin Lu, PhD

[@abcrane]

The one fundamental quality of Jung that really resonates with me is he is not a reductionist thinker . He always kept his ideas open ended and he didn’t feel on egoistic need to formulate absolute truths . This makes his brilliant work non threatening and he was responsible in his practice for example when he ceased using hypnosis when he saw that it could be damaging or limiting to the patient . This responsibility is dead today as big pharma pedals drugs and so many ignorant profit driven therapists conduct therapy in a very unethical way.

[@JamesDean-O]

“Open ended”!! Yes!!

[@abcrane]

@Mike Kane having read the original works of the psychoanalytic tradition (Freud, Jung, Reich) and the philosopher who pioneered a lot of their visions (Nietzsche) is is clear to me that psychology divorced of philosophy is very dangerous. philosophy that embraces struggle as part of life--and madness as a source of Wisdom (Foucault)....

[@MKTElM]

to all his admirers , I recommend you read his autobiography : ' Memories , Dreams , Reflections" ....

[@heartwisdomlove]

yes true, being limited can cause stagnation or a lack of empowerment to grow further to ultimately feel more liberated, thus more satisfied with human life and being human regarding hypnosis; leaving the body has its limitations, since divine wisdom received is very healing, in ways that a few ah ha moments from hypnosis can ever provide

I loved that honest moment when he paused to drink some water. It was such a human moment. I mean, in a hall full of hundreds of students, dead silence, watching you do something as simple as take a swig of water for the throat. I loved the glimpse at your jitters, believe me, I don’t think anyone would be able to nail a nonchalant drink of water. But at the same time, seeing some nerves is a good thing for me, it’s a sincere sign that you care about delivering the material efficiently. Also reminds the crowd that you are human, makes you easier to relate to. Respect is bestowed just from the cadence of your delivery. And that drink of water. Good on you mate.

[@lamontprospect9974]

I wouldn't criticize the man for saying "right" repeatedly. Many people say um, or right when presenting.

[@drcrippen1396]

I have to say, I tried reading Jung a few years ago, and although he appeared interesting, I wasn't in a state to appreciate the interesting insight he had of the schizophrenic, as I confess, I was so dumbed down in intellect by the medical profession, posing as experts in their field, but none the less, representatives of the pharmaceutical industry, in which to pedal the products of their lucrative business. Being rid of the toxicity that once flowed through my veins, as a result of determined tenacity of self improvement, without any intervention from councillors, therapists, psychiatrists, or indeed the man driving the taxi around London who always appears an expertise in all subjects, I now fully understand the sense of how I am, and the traits in others around me with copious amounts of laughter along the way of life that is paved before me.

That applies to einstine or anybody else.

[@EileenOR]

IFS (Internal Family Systems) developed by Richard Schwartz seems to me to be the next step in exploring personified archetypes. In his latest book, No Bad Parts, he demonstrates how the "shadow's" (Jungian terminology) function is always meant to protect the traumatized "parts" that through trauma have "exiles." We all have parts and the "myself" we identify as our real self are actually the very functional parts-- Jungian "masks, rather than the enduring Self with qualities like Compassion, creativity, calm, curiosity, etc. and we become "Self-led" As Dr. Lu stated, Jung talked to/heard there "parts." In IFS language, the protectors of the "burdened child" earn the trust of the protectors who believe that it is safe for them to allow the therapist and/or self-therapist to free those traumatized exiles, which leads to integration, etc. I've given you a thumbnail sketch of IFS to the best of my ability. If this intrigues you, I suggest you check out IFS Institute, where you can view various videos or go to KZbin, and watch one or two of the many talks and interviews that Richard Schwartz has given. Among the best is The Weekend University interview--which is what led me to subscribe to The Weekend University. :) Thank you for providing these lectures and interviews. -

[@wighto73]

wow, thanks Kevin, from the bottom of my heart. I have literally processed hundreds if not thousands of hours of psychology and philosophy discourses from various KZbin disseminations. At 35 minutes you describe how hard it is to be always your true self. I have tried to do that most of my life and derided and not respected people that act and play the game with many masks / archetypes. Of course I had some limited but now after you simply describing how tough it is to be always being your true self hit me like a concrete truck how bloody exhausting it is. Trying every second to force it, live it and breath it, so damn exhausting. Life will get easier now and I know my relationships will get better as others won't see me as such a hard arse who doesn't loosen up till after a few drinks

[@JayBrownlee]

Here's a criticism: Jung's collective unconscious as Dr. Lu defined it is something that is "derived through aeons of repetition of human cultural imagery and experiences." Most cultures and societies throughout time have acknowledged masculine and feminine. This is what Jung discovered and passed on in his anima/animus ideas. Notice how nervous Dr. Lu gets expressing this idea at 41:45. Isn't "normativity" just what "aeons of human repetition" has handed down to us? How could it have changed so suddenly in the last 60 years? Hmm . . . For Dr. Lu and others like him to be consistent in their thinking they have to reject Jung's idea of the collective unconscious, but by that point there really isn't anything left of Jung's theory. It seems to me that they're trying to appropriate his thinking for some reason. Archetype is derived from arkhe-tupos meaning "primitive model" therefore you can't derive an archetype from the last 60 years of human history. Does anyone else see the contradiction?

[@HlleyXD]

Precisely, exactly. Moreover, it goes beyond contradiction. Jung used the terms simply in a symbolic way, he also spoke of how an individual's anima/animus may have an anima or animus of their own, hence why I don't understand who Dr. Lu was trying to protect with his cautiousness. It somehow feels castrating. The idea here is that an individual is larger that they seem, so to state that a woman may not necessarily posses the male archetype but instead an anima is just... shrinkening, so to speak.

[@我主也]

I would argue proponents of Jung's concepts do not logically carry his ideas far enough! Masculine and feminine are biological phenomena; facial features are seen as masculine and feminine because of the specific effects testosterone and estrogen have on development. BABIES process faces in this way. This means that it is INEVITABLE for humans to develop a categorical representation for masculine and feminine, and for these representations to be iterated into the genome. In the last 60 years, cultural conceptions of sex differences may change, but it was always change in reference to biology. The mother is an elaborated form of femininity, and the mother is why security and comfort are associated as feminine qualities. Biology has set us up that way. 'Collective unconscious' is most simply explained as our (lack of) awareness of latent biology. I might argue game theory resolves this: archetypes are in a way just inevitable stable patterns which arise from our arbitrary biology. They are 'the lowest common denominator'. As an analogy, the wheel is not invented, but discovered: motion is easiest via a circle, and it is this fact we inevitably stumble upon, or "invent". Men and women in general are anatomically and neurologically different, so these constraints naturally and logically create an essential "model" which constant iterations will develop.

[@phillip3495]

I had this thought at that point as well, it’s a clear inconsistency in the lecture. So, yes eons of psychological evolution shaped the collective unconscious. Now, to insist that these more recent ideas of masculine/feminine dynamics are more indicative of modern life situations, so therefore Jung just got this portion wrong due to “being a product of his time” is incoherent. It’s akin to suggesting that evolution got it wrong. I agree that it does require you to toss out the entire idea of the collective unconscious in order to be logically consistent down this particular intellectual pathway. He gets nervous at another point when detailing Jungs association of masculine and feminine with the respective ideas such as emotions being feminine, and reason being masculine, as if he holds the preconception that reason is more valuable than emotion. Inappropriate value judgement that forces him to say, “Yikes!” as soon as he reads it, it seems to me.

It's weird, when you really get into it you find that people are lived by those archetypes and at any given moment find themselves in a phase of life and anything they say or do is more or less an expression of those archétypes. Almost as if a person has no direct free will. But i was young and might have drawn the wrong conclusions.

Thank you Carl Jung! There is no quick fix though! The first sparkle of enlightenment may give us the illusion that we have the answer and feel the surge to share it and express what comes with it. In fact this may indicate strongly the start of a long journey with a lot of trials and errors. Not just Religious people are exposed to feeling inspired. Popularity at an early stage may in fact be a major hurdle in disguise mostly when our thoughts have not been fully integrated or tested. Some movie or music stars may not be happy because what they express does not match with their genuine feelings. Narcissism tends to bypass the awareness of a type of Napoleon syndrome with social consequences. Constant exposure to non scientific Humanities is the necessary accompaniment to the growth of Citizens who constitute Nations.

many archetypal/christ-like images in harry potter! Harry escapes death twice, ordinary boy with faults, a modest student, yet also 'the chosen one,' hunted down by voldermort, sort of abandoned by his negligent auntie and uncle, cruel childhood living under the stairs, (robbed of what should have been a loving and peaceful upbringing) snape tips off lily and james that someone is coming to kill harry because of the prophecy, harry being protected by his mother's love time and time again, even after she dies, his closeness and recurrent re-connections and sights of his parents, and then many other archetypal characters such as dumbledoor, maybe harry projecting his 'self' personified archatype onto him as a mentor. And then dumbledoor's line which resonates strongly with what you said at one point in the lecture about the 'unrealness' of archetypes yet very realness of them; harry: 'is this all happening inside my head professor?' Dumbledoor: 'of-course it's happening inside your head harry, but why should that mean it is any less real?' then many other sidekick characters... food for thought- can definitely be developed. Loved this lecture!

[@alainaaugust1932]

Though dated July of 2019 (fierce pandemic time) elements of this presentation do not reflect understandings of modern cognitive psychology. In therapy today effective psychologists do not use terms such as “harsh super-ego.” Most leave Oedipus to Sophocles. The statements (injunctions) Dr. Lu begins reciting at 17:44 are all examples of what since the 80’s are called self-talk, a term Jung might sometimes call Self-talk. A collection (constellation) of that self-talk is a mindset, no longer a “complex.” One by one experienced therapists aid their clients (not patients) to restructure, to reframe that self-talk. For forty years now psychologists have been working in this manner. Would a mind like Jung’s, the Wise Old Man that Jung embodied, freeze at 1961? Sing Swiss hymns forever and call that Heaven? Truly, he would evolve. And so has psychology on earth. Dr. Lu’s presentation is an excellent recital of the history of Jung where he left things in 1961. The danger is that some who view it may believe this is the whole of psychology today, as if we were stuck at 1961 forever. Jung would never advocate for such stuckness.

[@janmorganfroynes5032]

Jung was so far beyond what normal people comprehend; one of the most important people of the 20th century. Lu really shouldn't talk about Jung being "intellectually inconsistent" when it's him that doesn't understand the nuances in Jungs material. Stick to comic books, seems like that's the level of complexity you're comfortable with.

I doubt that Jung would refer to an experience with the divine as "a fantasy."

[@cestwhat1317]

Right, it would be more like a "divine fantasy." Good point.

[@darthclone7]

Yes i thought that as well, the divine is more real than you and I.. even if we both did not exist another entity will experience the presence of the Divine

[@damonbennett3210]

Maybe Jung wouldnt say it with those words, but in Man and His Symbols he definitely speaks of the “divine” as something unable to be defined. He says it “may be based on a creed, but never on factual evidence.” So not quite a “fantasy” but not exactly reality either.

Anybody ever wonder if the reason why we sleep is because all this psychic building up of the persona and the shadow and etc is tiring, not just to the body but primarily to the mind. Perhaps that's why when you don't sleep for days, one of the most evident faculties effected is the mind. When you go to sleep every night your mind builds up this mental house of cards, and upon awakening it is that house that faces the world. But the real world is hectic and windy, and those cards get more unstable...until you go back to sleep to straighten up the deck.

I disagree with what is said about the biological aspect of anima and animus. Contemporary life is an adverse effect of abandoning mature interpretations of masculine/feminine, male/female. I do not think the exception disproves the rule.

[@omaradhami301]

I feel his critique simply misses the point of the masculine/feminine representation

[@mmccrownus2406]

He’s just a PC normie, probably never works physically hard or with his hand, just floats around in idea-land

[@ebhanna22]

I totally agree and had to rant about it to my husband. It burns me up to hear such nonsense. Putting that aside, this was a very good lecture.

[@jamessaltlife]

Very good until 43:20. It's clear postmodernism has saturated the lecturers mind to the point where he discredits Jung's ideas for one of his colleagues'.

[@mikemaranatha]

The proposal that Individuation can happen outside of Heteronormitivity is utter nonsense as it is quite clearly in direct opposition to not only biological facts but thousands of years worth of accumulated wisdom within the collective unconscious.

[@simboy]

I cant believe his discomfort in talking about feminine and masculine traits when all they are are traits and in fact his qualification on the anima and animus's roles in our lives seems to be (to me) directly understood from what jung was saying. So i dont know how he says weve gone along way from this view. Jung, as soon as i heard him talk about us having one in the consciousness and the other down below, seemed to directly infer that we had both in us and the persona was overcompensating for its lack. As the speaker goes on to calm the" frightened" audience says: We all have both in us. So strange, his dicomfort on the subject. Everone is so fearful nowadays where its so obvious to see his banevolent intentions, he fears his own self like he must be deeply evil. Which he isnt. Obviously

[@vladdydaddygrenadez7349]

I see your point but in that instance he says to the audience can u hear me it seems like a small group of woman started side chattering about some feminist ideology, in my opinion, he asserted himself but i digress because he speaks of himself in a negative type way or moreso negative of masculinity. Idk something i maybe imagined.

[@simboy]

@@vladdydaddygrenadez7349 dont know.im not critisizing him at all just commenting that he seems ill at ease. And its sad. These arnt scientists working under the catholic church risking their lives. So itd be nice to hear stuff brazenly said if believed whole heartedly.maybe its just his personality.

This happened to me 3 years ago I also met Jesus during this now I'm understanding that he was there too try and help me understand what was happening. I promise it wasn't all those patient either there is a lot of supernatural activity in the physical world that happens around you and it's taking me all the way up until now to start to realize what's been happening it is a wonderful gift of love that I would have never had any other way and it has changed me into someone with a true purpose now. Even the visions that I was having in the beginning of May complete sense now ..I just want you guys to know that this is a true divine intervention and it is truly from God.
