How to find your own soul according to Carl Jung

[@kokolanza7543]

Very helpful, well put together. 3 points most helpful to me: 1. The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are. 2. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light but by making the darkness conscious. And, 3. Individuation often begins with a crisis or Turning Point moments when the old ways of living no longer seem to work. When we are forced to confront parts of ourselves we've long ignored. I have trouble identifying my shadow. Would appreciate more 'hands on' help with that. Thanks for breaking down a larg & complex topic!

[@terencehennegan1439]

Anything you feel angst towards is your shadow !.

[@natmanprime4295]

you're one boomer there's actually some hope for!

[@NuFon-z6l]

Identify the shadow. Feelings like anger, sadness, jealousy negative emotions. They are manifestations of the shadow. Created in your past you have locked away. Go back to then let the original play out again. Only feel the feelings then accept them for what they are. Tears, anger, and others will come out. But once done you will see things don't bother you in the same way. That comes from a book on shadow work. Not from my azz😊

[@jenmdawg]

Beautiful post and excellent question. I have had to do 2 things in my shadow work 1) ask my subconscious to work itself out before I go to bed (dreams have been incredible) 2) applying Jung’s active imagination after my meditation sessions (I’ve literally met my Dameon in this) Oh and 3) journaling I can also assure you that just making a sincere effort in this work is enough. The only “danger” is not getting stuck with the archetype “trickster” via an inflation. (If you start feeling superior you’ve gone off track and need help).

[@klh1133]

@kokolanza7543 great question and these are great responses. Peter Crone says something that always helps me stay in touch with my shadow. "The Universe is constantly providing us the people and circumstances that reveal to us where we are not free" whatever we struggle against is an opportunity to uncover part of our shadow because everything we experience is just a reflection of who we are and what we are creating in our reality.

[@ericddl]

I've always loved Jung's idea of individuation. It's a journey towards a destination that almost certainly can not be achieved. That may seem like a bad thing but to me it's a reminder that the journey towards something greater is the important part.

[@Whisperingideas]

It's not a bad thing at all. Humans, like the universe, are impossible to fully comprehend

[@Novastar.SaberCombat]

Every circle begins with its end. *THAT* is why the proverbial destination is not only impossible to determine, but more importantly, the transitions, memories, and "level ups" are the most important moments to cherish. And keep in mind: you cannot "take it with you". Your MEMORIES, to be clear. Most unfortunate, but that is the painful price of perpetual existence. 🐲✨🐲✨🐲✨ "Before I start, I must see my end. Destination known, my mind's journey now begins. Upon my chariot, heart and soul's fate revealed. In time, all points converge; hope's strength, resteeled. But to earn final peace at the universe's endless refrain, we must see all in nothingness... before we start again." 🐲✨🐲✨🐲✨ --Diamond Dragons (series)

Just a note on traits and emotions that can inhabit the Shadow: The Shadow doesn't just contain negative emotions like greed or anger. It can also definitely contain positive traits and emotions like Joy and it can contain positive traits like empathy. What winds up in the Shadow are any parts of yourself that YOU because of your social and emotional experiences (or abuse and trauma) deemed useless or detrimental to your Persona at some point that you repressed and locked away. There's really no such thing as a typical Shadow. For each person their Shadow is going to be different.

Ive met my dopplegänger 3 times. There's nothing more surreal than sitting across each other for 5 minutes, not saying anything, I didn't remember to speak, just staring into each other's eyes.. its the strangest experience any human could have..

[@thesjkexperience]

I’d like to hear more of your story. 😊

[@killurbob3295]

@thesjkexperience my story is way to sprawling to say here.. ive had probably 20 unique entity encounters.. and these are obvious hallucinations, like a spaghetti monster, these are all actual historical entities that people have experienced since recorded history. I'll say this.. the same year I became schizophrenic, I had first been woken up, at 3 am, sleeping over at my grandmother's house who had just passed.. it was her, she had touched my chest and pressed down, waking me up, and when I removed the covers, she and a pitbull were standing next to me on the couch.. basked in a greenish glow, she was probably 20 years old, when she was actually 80 when she passed.. The next event was when my mother and I were walking our dogs, we passed the patch of forest, and out from the top of the treeline, breached a giant white ball.. an 10 foot radius Orb Ufo.. it had no propulsion.. appears to be powered by anti gravity.. all of our dogs were barking at it, so this was no shared psychosis.. it was 100% real.. I started having more subtle hallucinations after it hovered over us for the next few months.. I was getting closer to schizophrenia. The last event, I was a drug addict during this time, and I was in my room about to pop my pain pills.. well when I was about to, I dropped one, and it fell between the floor and the wall.. I looked for it for an hour, but it was gone.. I looked at bit more and I instead found a white pill.. it was a XTC pill.. I have no idea how it got there, I had never done Xtc.. I researched it and it was a White Mitsubishi, a pill popular back in the late 90s and early 2000s.. I have no idea how it got in my room.. I took it. I was starting to feel it, and decided to play guitar, I was playing my metal style and headbanging.. well I had felt pretty awesome about the riff I just made so I spun around in my chair, and when I did.. It was me. He was sitting across from me, in the middle of headbanging.. mocking me.. I guess.. he was smiling. He had my old clothes on, from years ago.. had his own guitar, mine is red, his was blue.. and he looked like me when I was 21 years old.. he was sexy, unlike me now, lol. We locked eyes, and we just stared at eachother.. he never stopped smirking.. I thought this was a strange hallucination.. i didn't really have any thoughts at all, just stunned.. He blinked his eyes once, and spun around in the chair and disappeared from existence.. like a disintegration.. I became schizophrenic a week later. One thing else I say, my dopplegänger on the last time he visited me, I remembered to ask him, "say something!" I forgot the other times.. He said, " hurry up.. your time is running out" Life changing moment for me. I'm starting a show next year, sort of like ghost hunting, but not really, I'm calling it Ghost Lounge. Check it out if you wanna hear my whole story, as I tell it throughout the show.. schizophrenia isn't what we think it is, at least, that's how it seems

Oh i can't believe it I have been practicing Ifs for last five years, the Inventor is Richard Swartz, but it's incredible how Carl Jug has described it exactly the same thing, yes those times females were not assertive and thought to be rational, so it was considered as male trait, and empathy, creativeness, calm compassion is considered to be female trait, exactly what Ifs describes as 8 c's it's remarkable to learn that Carl Jung talked about it such a long time before.

@elizabethd1153 start meditating and contemplating. Get to know yourself and the workings of your own mind. You are not who you think you are. Just as your eyes are not what they see, you are not what you are aware of. To take an example, if you experience anxiety, you notice it, you are seeing it going on in You. You are the awareness death notices the anxiety. You cannot become the conscious awareness, you are it. You are the noticer of everything that goes on in you, the body mind. What goes on in your body mind is noticed by you, the awareness that you are. 🙂

So his thinking includes yin and yang or he based his thinking on yin and yang. This fem vs masc division is artificial. In Europe for example it is men who were first artists, actors, poets, painters, sculptors so it was normal to them they are both creative and emotional - why would that be called fem. From my experience I've met more creative and sensitive men while most women I've met were insensitive, self-centered, lacked empathy. Men are able to form better friendship btw each other, than women, brothers can be much closer than sisters. It is a misconception to think creativity and emotions are feminine. So the idea of accepting both in oneself is not necesary, it is enough to know such division is artificial. People differ from each other with physicality, personality and the way they were raised.

Meeting your own soul is a nonsense concept. You and your soul are one and cannot be separated. Thus it is impossible to meet yourself or know yourself as if you were another person. Turning a person’s attention back upon their self as if they could observe and analyze it is as if a tree could dig up its own roots to find out how it was made. Analysis is what you do to other people not to yourself. Carl Jung had no real sympathy for his patients or he would have seen this. Leave a man’s soul out of it. You can not save it nor can you ruin it. The soul is an inviolable thing. Judge a person’s words and actions but don’t think to judge his soul.

Gender roles are social construct and stereotype that divides men and women. In reality, babies behave the same regardless of genders. I reject Jung's concept of masculinity and femininity. These are social expectation and gender roles that shape our persona to fit traditional roles, they are not something that develope naturally.

@Anna_Raphael, I think there's a misunderstanding of Jung's perspective here. Jung didn’t view masculinity and femininity purely as social constructs. Instead, he believed in the concepts of animus and anima, which are the unconscious masculine and feminine aspects within every person, regardless of gender. For Jung, these are psychological archetypes that exist in the collective unconscious, not something determined by societal roles. The integration of both the masculine (animus) and feminine (anima) is essential for psychological wholeness, and they shape the way we relate to ourselves and the world. They're not about rigid gender roles but rather internal qualities we all possess. I will make a video about the anima and the Animus in detail (subscribe if you don't want to miss it)

Jung suffers from Stockholm Syndrome which is the issue with the West. In his last book he narrates a dream which was pretty obvious sexual abuse in a church, which is where he grew up. When the goal of the Church was to crucify the soul of the child, and then the adults through endless abuse in the church and outside the church, a concentration camp for all, you no longer have a connection with a soul. That was the goal of Vatican, those who manufactured Christianity 40 years after Jesus' death, and brutalized the people; A war on God(And soul) and a War on Woman. And Jung didn't know all this? He just hid it, like everyone else. Insanity is a hell of a drug. Clinically insane masses cannot be healed nor changed.

Like I'm using a "persona" to make myself "look tougher" at home. So my family doesn't think I'm "weak". I've overcome so much in my awakening. But this seems to be the hardest part to "fix".
