That was one of the most thought-provoking, fascinating and insightful videos I have ever watched. Complicated? Of course - but how could it not be? However, it has provided a tremendous impetus to search deeper, and that is the sign of a true teacher. Thank you so much!

It's wonderful that you found the video so thought-provoking and inspiring! Buddhism, especially with its depth on topics like the aggregates and the nature of the self, can open up endless avenues for exploration and contemplation. Even though some concepts may seem complex, they offer profound insights into how we experience life, suffering, and liberation. The fact that it has inspired you to search deeper shows a genuine openness to wisdom-a key quality on the path of growth and understanding. True teachings often lead to more questions and inspire a deeper pursuit of knowledge and self-discovery. Keep seeking, reflecting, and questioning, and the journey itself will be transformative.

@@MindPodcastEnglish My fascination with Buddhism began around 60 years ago, but it has been an on/off relationship. I spent some time in a Zen monastery where, interestingly, we rarely spoke about what lay behind our daily practise. It was only after kensho that our teacher would reference key points in the dharma, and then it was very specific to the student. So, I haven't given a great deal of time to the sutras and considering the depth of actual teachings. Maybe I now need to do so - before my time, in this form, is over.

The Jungian "Self" represents the totality of the psyche, encompassing both the conscious and unconscious aspects of a person. It is the central archetype that seeks to balance the opposites within the individual-such as the conscious ego and the unconscious mind. The Self aims to integrate these opposing forces into a harmonious whole, leading to a state of equilibrium. This balance is achieved through the process of individuation, where a person becomes more aware of their true nature and unites their fragmented parts into a coherent identity. The Self, then, symbolizes wholeness and the ultimate psychological balance. If I'm not mistaken, in Buddhism, enlightenment comes from transcending dualities and the ego (unifying "reality" and self); in alchemy, the union of opposites is the path to wholeness - even non-dualistic worldviews point toward the reality of unification, though they fail to recognize the process leading to that unity. Reality is neither strictly dual nor monistic; it transcends both. Dualities must be reconciled- or forgiven, if you will- in order to unify and create wholeness. Christ is the embodiment of this unification, being fully God and fully man. He endured immense suffering because He understood what lay beyond His present circumstances: deeper unity furthering transcendence. Whether you're struggling through your current trials, overwhelmed by anxiety, or even death as a multi-cellular organism, all "death" truly represents is the failure of multiplicity to unify. "That they may all be one; just as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me." John 17:21

Sometimes I think that the constant search of greater understanding of my self holds me back from being myself. I feel like 2, one constantly searching for another. But then when I stop thinking, I experience myself completely. Love is the antidote for an anxious mind. Much love my family ❤

This vision of the Self as the Supreme being is the exact message Krishna gives in the bhagavad gita. I wonder how influential that book was for Jung or if this is another example of convergent theology.

The Buddha explained these ideas in complete details as the five aggregates. He also explained that these aggregates are not self.

Then what are they? (Genuine question from curiosity or need-to-know)

@@Self-Culled88 they are not self. To focus on them as a self creates an individualistic view. When in actuality like all other phenomena they are impermanent. Understanding this leads to enlightenment.

The Igo is like you said, all that makes up the personality. The Ego is the part of us that says to itself "I am better than you' and it's that simple.
