Man and His Symbols | Carl Jung

Man and His Symbols is the last work undertaken by Carl Jung before his death in 1961. The principle aim of “Man and His Symbols” is an introduction to Jung’s work and ideas.
It is an examination of man’s relation to his own unconscious, emphasising the importance of dreams in the life of the individual.
The book was first published in 1964 and is divided into five parts, four of which were written by Jung’s closest associates in the world of analytical psychology.
One of the most important part of the whole book is his idea of individuation, the process by which consciousness and the unconscious have learned to live at peace and to complement one another. This addresses the essence of Jung’s philosophy of life: Man becomes whole when (and only when) the process of individuation is complete.

This is such a fantastic video, you did a really fantastic job grinding this book down into ten minutes! I haven't read it but it is on my TR list now!!! The book as a whole reminds me of Nietzsche so much too! But bringing dreams into the mix is really what threw me for a curve but it gave me a ton to think about!

[@WeAreAllOneNature]

Marvellous video. Every bit is packed full of intensely profound wisdom. I had to rewind about 20 times! I read part 3 - 'the process of individuation', in 1998. All about the shadow self. It was very life changing.

#synchronicity I read this line at the exact moment that I heard the same words on the video. 2 recent dreams. One has to do with being distracted by someone to my left directing me while I drive fast on a highway, alone, a vast ocean to my right. The ocean is shining in the sun. Looking away from the curving road is a bit scary in the dream. The second dream had to do with preparing to board a train leaving at 1630, being in a crowded cue of passengers at 1625, as I saw the train pull into the station, I am watching it stand at the platform, while I am caught in a violent crowd of people pushing aggressively to board the train. Someone behind me is pushing me, elevating me, giving me power, after I tell him, we're not going to make it.

I find Jung the most fascinating of the great minds of the modern time. You have covered a great deal of big thinkers, but in my opinion Jung is the best. Can you make a video of Jung's book "Aion." This book has never really been explained well. With movies like the Matrix to other sify films. I think there's a audience that can understand the theories and discovery that Jung psychology can give. Aion is to take place more than likely in our life time. It only seems logical to make a KZbin video

I had this belief for a better part of my life...that man give birth to new thought which is partially just a side effect of some other know thoughts he already know and partially very original and unique part comes from his unconscious .This part varying from very insignificant to tremendously significant depends on how much consciousness has been devoted for the origin of thought to manifest. So in layman terms man in his being where he is conscious is incapable of producing a new thought or idea.

[@onlypearls4651]

I had a dream that there was a machine called "The Internet," where people seemingly connected via different ports called "Computers." which they believed themselves as operators of, though they themselves did not exist outside of the machine. In my dream there were millions upon millions of connections being made simultaneously, while still maintaining an individual essence that was differentiated into as many parts as there were connections being made. And in this dream I became lucid, coming face to face with the fact that I had only imagined, what a moment before becoming lucid, seemed to be so real. Confused and frightened by this awakened dream state, I screamed in my bed, and awakened myself at once into consciousness and reality. I rushed from my bed to the table appearing in my dream where the "Computer" sat, intent on discovering that I was not mad. However, upon arriving at the table, there was no computer, and no internet, and no connection to anything, or anyone.

[@gen-x-zeke8446]

I like to consider multiple egos with their own egos when it comes to 'The Self' because I don't think there is just one of anything. We are at least 3 *host-left-right and each has a 'good ego and a 'bad ego' to blend well with the id and the super/ego. And depending on the life situations they'll either mesh with some attitude or be continuously devoured by assumption only.

[@nickmatthews7600]

@@lobstered_blue-lobster the concepts he illuminated are not logical/rational because our minds are not logical/rational the way we pretend to know they are. Science is beginning a process of folding in on itself as it loses connection with nature and the real world in many ways. Jung's concepts tend to connect more with the intelligence and wisdom of nature and human cultures across the world and across time. A lot of his ideas also require exposure to real life experience in order for them to be integrated in any meaningful way.

[@lobstered_blue-lobster]

@@nickmatthews7600 I do agree that Jung's concept connect more to human nature and nature in general but he didn't prove anything what he claimed. I don't agree that Science is losing connection from "nature." I think if any than it is becoming more precise to explain our Natural world than any other time in History.

[@nickmatthews7600]

@@lobstered_blue-lobster Thats a fair point. That's part of Jung's work though, exploring the architecture of your inner world cannot be proven. Much of these concepts involves developing our minds to explore the mystical/mystery, which by definition has no proof. In my experience our inner world is as infinite as our the outer, his ideas have only become more salient to me as I go deeper inwards. True knowledge and wisdom appear to those who are able to let go of looking for the "answer" that our minds always seem to be searching for. Academia is creating a false world for aspects of science, but there are also those using science to return to nature. The agricultural industry versus the growing movement of restorative agriculture would be a good example of that.

Dealing with imaginary diseases is a huge part of modern youtube. I never heard anybody say, before Jung, we had these psych problems, but now, we are so much better off.

[@shannelleroberts3944]

It’s a shame your not open to this way of thinking… your dreams are a deep, raw and real insight to exactly what you are experiencing or may experience in waking life. No matter how ‘crazy’ the dream- all symbols/animals/environments in your dreams have deep meaning to your inner self. Paying attention to this super power (dreams) opens the human mind to deeper critical -higher mind solutions. Mental health has always been a problem. It’s more prominent now because of many many different reasons. Massive spectrum of mental health with all types of walks of life. One could argue- there’s a bigger population? -the burdens of system we live in lol….. Honestly mental health is rife and it probably was back then too.

[@shannelleroberts3944]

He seems to be well above his time (wisdom he has possibly received via dreams) lol His knowledge for the human experience unpacked back then- exactly how so many of us agree with now. He definitely followed his souls purpose

[@hermanhale9258]

@@shannelleroberts3944 I have five or six of Jung's books, or books about Jung, including Man and His Symbols, which I used to say was my favorite book. Why? Because I like symbols. However, I always had my suspicions about Jung's overall theories. I think dreams in this era are so influenced by movies and TV, there is really no way you could say these ancient archetypes are speaking to you, and not that you have memories of every movie you ever saw buried in your brain and bits and pieces show up in your dreams. There used to be a website where people posted their memorable dreams and again and again the person would write: It was just like this scene in the movie xxxx. Usually a special effects scene. I have tracked down a number of my "spiritual" dreams to scenes and sound and visual effects in movies. Probably movie makers use Jung symbols in their movies, for example, Kubrick and Spielberg both have Jung references in their movies. This very video even made me think of Danny in The Shining, he is a kid with problems, he "dies" when Tony tells his mother "Danny's not here", then he conquers his dad, the monster (dragon). I'm trying to say, the whole thing is intertwined and contaminated. Note: I had to stop watching The Shining for awhile when Jack appeared to me in a dream dressed in his famous ax killer outfit and with a smile on his face.
