Jungian Psychology - The Anima and The Animus - Jung - Archetypes

Jungian Psychology - The Anima and The Animus - Carl Jung
In this video, I talk about The Anima and The Animus in the Jungian Psychological Model. I go over the information in this order.
1. Anima and Animus - basic definition
2. The gender spectrum now and how the Anima and Animus fits in
3. The feminine and masculine defined as Yin and Yang
4. Common fears about integrating the inner opposite
5. How the Anima presents itself in a man
6. Stages of Anima development and integration
7. Anima Possession
8. How to reintegrate the Anima
9. How the Animus presents itself in a woman
10. Stages of Animus Development and Integration
11. Animus Possession
12. How to reintegrate the Animus
13. Conclusion
The Anima and Animus, when fully integrated, are the mediators between the conscious and the unconscious mind and give us a connection to the numinous. This is why it's so important to develop and integrate our inner opposites.

I really like how you present this material. Your articulation is phenomenal.

[@ripred42]

Agreed, very balanced take. I can imagine a lot of women thinking these ideas are just outdated and wrong.

[@technofeeliak]

Can you agree that we mirror the world we live in? Why would our gender opposites represent such a big part of our world? Because to be successful biological beings we have to reproduce. Our acceptance in society, our prosperity depends so much on the opposite to our sex. What we understand in general is a reflection to everything that's external. You could argue that a pet has as much importance in your life as anyone else in your entourage. Do you then say that there is a part of you that is a dog, a hamster, a cobra, a rat, a cat...? I would say, that's simply a reflection of what is external to you. And your position relative to the opposite sex is important. Your perception of men as an archetype exists in you. It's what you think around. It's what you negotiate with when you choose your connections with others and the dynamics of your relationships. How you understand the expectations of others. It's all that... it's not a stupid black and white Yin&Yang structure. It's you, understanding yourself relative to a huge world you only control a perception of.

[@ramonmateo4385]

@@technofeeliak can you agree that you you are only seeing the world in terms of separation between what is you and what is not you? You must agree that this lens of perception heavily colors the hypothesis that you espouse here. Of course then on some level the dog or the cat or whatever it is is a part of you as soon as your perception of self becomes big enough to encompass it isn't it true? If you have a project you work on for many years and put so much of yourself into it and then I come along and stomp it down to the ground you would feel pain in your heart the same as if I had trampled it? So yes it is about how we relate to the world around us but everything is about how anything relates to anything. It is a condition of being a conscious being. How is it you can talk about anything in the world without first understanding how you relate to it? So what is your point then?

Frfr. This is an excellent introduction to these Archetypes, and sensitively handled as well. Mazeltov!

[@forbesheaton]

For what it’s worth, I think you’ve done a great job at explaining the Jungian perspective. It’s a shame so many ppl seem to get hung up on PC and SJW stuff. I think you’re extremely balanced in your approach and compassionate toward those who may not fall “neatly” into any of the Jungian archetypes / systems. I just wanted to let you know because allot of what I’m reading in this thread is negative and highly critical. Power to you for being so articulate and courageous!

[@TheDiamondNet]

Thank you! I appreciate it. I think a lot of people find my videos through Jordan Peterson, because I show up on his related videos section. My videos show up there because we both use aspects of the Jungian framework. But our views are polar opposites in many ways. And because his views are very traditional in nature, I get a lot of people on here looking for a similar perspective to Peterson's and they sometimes end up disappointed. This is because my views are not very traditional. I embrace the changes that are coming to society, and I see many of them as very positive. I'm optimistic about the future. So, when I tailored the video at the very beginning to also accommodate members of the LGBT community or other exceptions to the 'rules' of masculinity and femininity, I've sometimes gotten one of two reactions from his viewers. One is of general indifference to the LGBT community, but they think I'm being "PC" or doing "identity politics" or politicizing things something like that. The other is one of non-acceptance to the entire concept that people can have nuances in masculinity and femininity, and they see any person who does have a non-traditional masculine/feminine ratio as degenerate or weird in some way. But I am not being political at all. I'm simply tailoring my videos to the realities that I've experienced for the sake of being thorough and comprehensive. It's just that many people see anything to do with the LGBT community as automatically political, despite the fact that it's just another aspect of reality to be acknowledged. And it's easier to wave something off as "identity politics" and write off its significance than actually considering the individual reality that gives way to the fact that so many LGBT issues are on the political chopping block right now. So, in the words of Carl Jung, "Thinking is difficult, that's why most people judge." Thank you again for your support! :)

[@gkelly9448]

It's not courageous to spout off about the popular socially acceptable ideology of the day. You just come across as a white knight.

[@sithman25]

The Diamond Net I am a little disappointed that others seem to dismiss your points due to the incorporatiion of LGBT into the Jungian anima/animus model. Honestly, their incorporation doesn't even alter the model. I am a big fan of Peterson as much of his teachings have placed me on a path of personal reflection and growth, mainly in the area of adopting responsibility for my well-being. However, when learning something that is new and complex, like Jung, I want to take in different perspectives. Thank you for providing that in a clear, thoughtful way. Your explanation of the shadow and anima/animus possession really helped me gain a deeper understanding of Jungian psychology. Please keep creating this quality content. The world needs it more than ever 👍

[@GoldenMoments100]

That description of Yin and Yang traits (9:56) is itself strongly polarized. The Yang is by no means more external and Yin more internal. Take a look at "Levels of Animus" in en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anima_and_animus Major internal male qualities are: steadfastness, loyalty, courage, perseverance, one-pointedness, neutral inner observance. Major external female qualities are: beauty, grace, softness, aesthetic sense, sense of touch, nurturance.

This is amazing. It gave me an insight on myself that I didnt know before. I am a animus possessed women and I didnt realise what was missing in my life or what kept me stuck in a place of stagnation. Ive lost touch with my animus side and its been projected negatively. This was insightful and allowing me recover my connection with my animus.

This is so true. In my culture the greatest enlightened person/God is depicted half woman-half man. That shows he has perfectly balanced his masculinity and femininity, making him a complete being. Great explanation though.

[@TheDiamondNet]

You’re welcome. I try to mold it to my experience of being someone who doesn’t fit very neatly with gender roles... as I’ve had huge issues with feminine repression and anima repression in the past. Also, I think Jung would have considered the realities of transfolk and other gender non-conforming people in his theories had he been living in an era where collective consciousness was aware of those realities. It would be very non-rigorous if he didn’t as ignoring a reality is not very scientific.

[@MatthewAshworth]

Thanks for explaining this very concisely and also providing some of your own interpretation on some of it. It's a topic I've been reading up on a fair bit lately, so trying to get as much understanding of it as possible from various sources. Interestingly, I read in a number of places that 1st stage of anima in a man is more to do with expectation of a motherly role. Eve being more of a symbol of motherhood, and men who hadn't had a healthy relationship with their biological mother tend to be stuck in this phase and seek motherly qualities in a woman so that she would nurture him. These kind of men are usually quite emotionally immature and childish. Whereas the 2nd stage was more to do with a woman being an object of sex and pleasure (Helen being a symbol of physical beauty), and men at this stage tend to be players who flirt a lot and hop from one relationship to another and are unable to have a long-term relationship due to failing to see women as individuals. What do you think about this? I notice this is a little bit different to how you described the first two stages of the anima development.

[@AntonKimS]

I have seen about 30 of your videos so far. They are gems of substance, clarity and form. After my own entheogen awakening this summer, I have gone through a lot of often confusing information in pursuit of the Truth. Ken Wilber's books and your channel are (in very different ways) the best things I have found so far. I really really really appreciate what you are doing.

[@TheDiamondNet]

Thank you for watching so many of my videos! I'm glad that they resonate with you. One of my main hopes for my channel is to give clarity to people experiencing the confusion of stumbling into a spiritual awakening like I did when I was 20. I know firsthand that it can be difficult to get your bearings after a shift in perspective like that. So, I'm very happy that you have found my videos helpful! :D

[@srijanagrawal255]

A little note on "masculine social expectations" The existence of those is completely organic and useful, because "achieving masculinity" has incredible motivational power behind it. Masculinity is a goal. And these tropes exist because it's been mostly men who have done rough, dangerous shit so far. Read "the old man and the sea" by ernest hemingway for more context

[@lauranianiaka]

they are ancient greek words and they mean specific things: (unfortunately I cannot write them with their correct intonation, but here they are and what they mean) έρως: (eros) interest (or more literally deep desire) λόγος: (logos) quite literally means logic both of these words have interesting possible roots, but the way Jung used them was to indicate something that is mentioned in his work, in an example he gives about Edward Maitland's experience of God : "This was … God as the Lord, proving by His duality that God is Substance as well as Force, Love as well as Will, feminine as well as masculine, Mother as well as Father." I believe this kind of sums it up perfectly.

I have a video idea for you, I'd absolutely love to hear your take on how the Anima works for homosexuals. I'm gay, and while listening to you explain these concepts, they come across as dated, with their views of gender. Which makes sense! So I'd love to hear your thoughts on the amima/animus through our current views of gender, and I'd love to hear your thoughts on how this may be different for people who are queer, or who may be more gender fluid. It's a huge ask, I know! If you can't, no biggie, I still want to say you rock and thank you!

[@gregoryvee4304]

Just what I needed to hear this morning as "understanding anime/animus" seems to be the next life lesson "the universe" is putting in front of me as I continue to work my way out of my own inherited, and personally constructed, "Plato's Cave." Studying with a brillant life coach, however, I have also come to believe in the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model of the human psyche, so in the part of the video where you talk about "emotions" I wished this were a live session and I could have asked you if you believe (as I have come to) that "emotions" (and worldviews, limiting beliefs) are not stand-alone things, they are sets of things that are associated with our sub-personalities, and when those are activated (triggered) they "flood our conscious mind" (and, if super-traumatized, can completely take over) and bring their worldviews, limiting beliefs, and "emotional states" with them.

[@repentignyrepenpen]

Great video! Do you have anything about the so-called 'mid-life' crisis, which Jung seems to suggest that it is the journey of letting go of the persona to find the true self. I may confuse this a bit, but am trying to understand how this could explain a bit more the dynamics of my marriage which is now ended this year. I need to rise from these ashes, and I sense a strong pull toward exploring this whole individuation thing. Thank you!

[@TheDiamondNet]

I don't have any videos on the mid-life shift that Jung speaks about directly. You could say that most of my videos relate back to that move inward that he speaks of though. But I am familiar with the way he says that it works. He says that for the first half of life, you make yourself into a very particular individual and create a strong ego through individuation. So, you sort of create your identity and all its particulars. Then, at around 40 years old, you turn inward and start working on letting go and transcending the ego that you've created through shadow work and inner awareness of the Self. So, individuation and transcendence are in many ways, opposites. But both are also necessary for a deep and complete experience of your humanity.

[@maryamghouth1143]

Best explanation on this concept I have heard yet. Thank you!

[@ahobimo732]

A few years ago, I developed a concept of the "yin/yang" or "masculine/faminine" nature of reality. My preferred terminology is "power/love". Power is the drive towards achievement and individual identity. Love is the drive towards integration, harmony, and stability.

[@Maxbomb95]

The best down to earth and genuine presentation I have found! For me it is always very amazing how new things manifest when we let go of expectations. I remember how 4 years I got in touch with the works of Jung through an artistic project. I realised what a strong grip my anima had (and still sometimes has) and how strongly I was seeking to become whole with a partner, the things I was projecting were already there and are waiting to be integrated, hidden in the shadow. These inner transformations, that were also painful, opened up a beautiful path and my outer world shifted completely!

[@Emmastayofftheinternet]

it's odd . I've always felt androgynous inside. yet have always made myself seem more feminine. when I go shopping I'm always attracted to the men's clothing and masculine items. with my job I started dressing more masculine whilst still looking feminine. it's hard to explain

[@TheDiamondNet]

I'm kind of in the same boat. I have a very well-developed masculine side, but I prefer to present myself in a way that is feminine.

[@oooodaxteroooo]

i think thisnis vers common for two reasons. one - females were viewed and often times still sre as subordinate, less worthy than men, hence the acceptance of either type. two - i think the power shift between anima and animus also reflect the power struggle between our parents which relates to one, butnis more personal. so, animus is cooler, but at the same time, especially presentationwise, its easier and has advantages for females. so there seems to be a split between the animustic and animastic anima, if you get what i mean.

ooohh.. I always kind of struggled to apply the animus / anima archetype because I dont fall in a traditional feminine nor masculine expression, but definitely feel a stronger pull towards the masculine internally. And therefore because I read some Jung and wasnt sure how to apply it to my gender expression and kept looking out for an Animus that wasnt really there because I was expressing as Animus. This is literally the first time I hear a modern take on it that makes so much sense and that its always about the opposite and integrating that rather than the opposite of the gender you were assigned at birth. This is like really much clearer now and makes it much more applicable. Needed this, thank you!

What if a true alpha male IS actually the intigration of both?

[@SteveCave]

I've never met a guy who identifies himself as "alpha male" who wasnt train wreck. And I've met a lot of them!

[@Lifesizemortal]

the alpha/beta concept is rooted in the machismo perception. It is proposed unfairly and in favor of the macho male in order to place dominance and hierarchy above other men who are not so outwardly macho. It's a false sense of entitlement masquerading as goodness, or correctness in regards to how a man should carry himself: through unnecessary confrontation and seizing power through force, rather than respect. Machismo is innately evil. The "Chad" or "Alpha" is defined by his passive ability to have little conviction for his own actions, where he gains an increasing sense of self importance. Men who exemplify narcissistic behavior are usually the most dangerous because of this combination of seeking power through force, and lacking the conviction to know if and when they're wrong. A typical "Chad" feature is being oblivious to the world around themselves, so they simply don't observe that other people are irritated by their unfounded confidence and sense of self-entitlement.

Alpha doesnt equal macho.

[@billbailey1571]

Very possibly, amongst chimpanzees the alpha is usually the most affectionate male; even matching the affection of the most affectionate females I believe (with affection being a common trait associated with femininity)?As just one of many examples of one of the feminine aspects integrated within an alpha male. At least of the most component and revered alphas amongst chimpanzees; which I'd argue are true alpha males being tyrannical alphas typically become overthrown.

[@dhesbar]

I would say the Alpha male is overcompensating for an over bearing animus...

I found your explanation clear, motivational and interesting. I am working already on my personal development. I have been suggested to check Jung (anima/animus). Sometimes people perceive me as a mum. I dislike to project this image. In the other hand, the men I have dated in a few occasions have been perceived as boys and they dislike this perception. This is a subject that interest me as it will help me to understand some aspects of my unconscious mind and have tools to improve myself. My choices will also improve to be more assertive in my relationships.

I found your channel after having a terrible nightmare and I wanted to know more about Jung's theory on dreams. This one about Animus/Anima was particulary well done. I've been watching some personal development videos but most of them failed to link 19th century theories with today's gender expectations. I thank you for it. Great work!

Hi great video, I'm in the UK and I'm very interested in taking a phycology course online, and jungian phycology is the one I relate to most can you recommend any good online courses for beginners? going to have a marathon on your videos now .

[@karendaoust2538]

I sure love your channel, thank you. I started following you about a year ago and I have learned so much about myself through your videos. As a woman with strong yang traits, I believe much of my growth this past year has been to develop my yin, which did not occur to me until I watched this video! I am thrilled to do shadow work and pull into the light my little dark children so I can nurture them and make them whole with me.

[@THEGRENAAAAADE]

Jung's message seemed to get a bit conflated with your own personal views in this video, I was hoping to learn primarily about Jung's ideas. Maybe change the title to "an interpretation of Jungian psychology" or something along those lines, as it was a bit misleading!

[@spookyr]

There is a brilliant Jungian named Jordan Peterson. One super useful thing he teaches is to listen to everyone as if you already know they can teach you something,of value, and your mission is to not be sidetracked by getting hung up on either believing or disagreeing with the stuff you can't use. This is like a Magic Translator when talking to New Agish people. New Age creativity is a goldmine when you can use critical thinking to remove the mud.

[@gkelly9448]

There is nothing creative about New Age, what planet are you living on? New Age is a rehashment of old ideas, in the form of cache phrases and group think.

[@spookyr]

How did you come to know this Kelly? kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGOXhXqQedBsbJI

[@gkelly9448]

Because I know the spirit of New Age, there is nothing new about it at all. Its as old as the archetypes that Peterson speaks of. Its the idea that we are one with God, that we are God and that we are as everything devine as the energy in the universe. In the end death contradicts that. You can only listen to someone if they are giving insight or new ideas, not rehashing the current ones, let alone old ones.

[@imaginaryuniverse632]

How do you know if they are giving insight without listening first? "New Age" is a label without any specific meaning just as death is. It's our responsibility to rehash the Truth for those who will listen for it. Only lies can be made new the Truth is always the same. The Spirit is always guiding us to the Truth. The mind looks for and finds reasons to dismiss it but the real Truth can only be found inside when the mind and body are still. If you are interested in finding the Truth, try making yourself comfortable sitting or lying down. Close your eyes and take an inventory of each area of the body allowing all tension to relax. When you are well relaxed, focus on your breathing in order to slow your thoughts. Don't worry that you will still have thoughts, just observe them without becoming involved with them. Try to see them as they without emotional attachment just watch them as they come and go. Soon you may begin to realize that many of them aren't even your own but have been given to you by Society's expectations and you might begin to ask yourself who is it that is observing. Spoiler alert, the observer is you. With practice and sometimes without, the thoughts will stop. This will mark the end of one journey (death) and the beginning of another (resurrection). The story of Jesus is one of unconditional Love and forgiveness, these are the key to the kingdom of God and the kingdom itself. Jesus said, I am the way, the Truth and the Life. The way is Love, the Truth is Love and the Life is Love. The only death that exists in reality is the absence of Love.

[@iisaka_station]

To all the Jordan Peterson fans out there that seem to keep showing up in The Diamond Net's comments sections, I would just like to say that Jordan himself is an advocate of the LGBT and sjw rights community that he criticizes. He is however, not an advocate of compelled speech or half-ass law making that hurts the people that it's supposed to help. Jordan's problem with Bill c-16 etc. (which is what everyone keeps hearing about) stems from its lack of scientificness, as well as it's contradictory language and demand for compelled speech. Similarly, his problems with the sjw's and postmodern leftwing nutjobs lie solely with their lack of scientificness as well as their contradictory language. ... In other words, all I'm trying to say is that the politics many of you have immersed yourself in from other videos, have nothing to do with the truth of the matters relating to the LGBT community. The politics are simply politics, as usual, and as always they have clouded everyone's judgement. If you people, my fellow Jordan fans, want to circlejerk about Jordan, please just leave this channel and its videos out of it. If however, you really wanted to just tack on a little bit more about your understanding of Jungian ideas, and it's interaction with people like the creator of this video, watch the video all the way through and use your facking head. I personally really liked this video, and although I do not accept anything I hear on the youtube as fact, or even what I have heard from Jung himself, there is much insight to be gleamed, just from the imaginative stimulation alone that such a video as this one provides. Cheers everyone and thanks for these videos Diamond Net!

[@Drakoadventure]

I really enjoyed your video and insight, thank you so much. A lot of my friends think that I am not a normal girl, as I do embrace both sides of masculinity and feminity or not as girly or emotional. I am currently working on my animas- assertiveness but I think I should be more accepting of my anima side as well. There are far too many bad connotations and labels on women , feminity, on top of that drama queens in my life. So I tend to repress my feminity, but I am still very caring and considerate , but often people judge me by my appearance thinking I'm this innocent sweet girl or sex object. I want to grow as a person, and reach my full potential and not let others define me with labels or conceptions , explore what I really want and seek to become. Thanks!

The main interest of Saying 22, however, lies in what follows the disciples' question. Jesus replies: "When you make the two into one, and when you make the inner as the outer, and the upper as the lower, and when you make male and female into a single one, so that the male shall not be male, and the female shall not be female: . . . then you will enter [the kingdom]." The Gnostic Bible of Thomas

[@AlanPhan128]

TLDR: Integrating the anima and animus, regardless of societal norms, allows for access to wisdom, authenticity, and balance, leading to individual growth and a healthy ego. 1. 00:00 🧠 Integrating the anima and animus is crucial for individual growth and a healthy ego, as they represent the unconscious feminine and masculine aspects within each person, allowing access to wisdom when fully integrated. 1.1 The anima and the Animus are two anthropomorphic archetypes in Jungian psychology, representing the unconscious feminine and masculine aspects within each individual, making us psychologically androgynous. 1.2 Integrating the anima and animus is important for a healthy ego and individual growth, as repressing them leads to negative projection onto others. 1.3 The anima and animus are archetypes that come from our internal unconscious and, when fully integrated, act as mediators between the unconscious and conscious mind, allowing us to access wisdom. 2. 03:13 🧠 Embrace and develop the opposite gender traits within yourself, regardless of societal norms or expectations, as gender is no longer seen as binary and our masculine and feminine signature is constant. 2.1 Gender is no longer seen as binary, and Jung's idea of developing the opposite gender's traits is more accepted now, with most people falling somewhere on a scale of femininity and masculinity. 2.2 Embrace and develop the opposite gender traits within yourself, regardless of societal norms or expectations. 2.3 Our masculine and feminine signature is constant and cannot be changed, so trying to polarize masculinity or femininity is short-sighted. 3. 06:11 🧠 Integrate your anima and animus authentically without conforming to traditional gender roles, recognize our inherent Yin and Yang energy, and explore and cultivate feminine values internally. 3.1 Our inherent yin and yang energies remain unchanged, and it's important to develop traits that are already inherent to us rather than trying to conform to traditional gender roles. 3.2 Integrate your anima and animus authentically without forcing caricatures of masculinity or femininity, release resistance to your inner opposite, and recognize that we are psychologically androgynous with inherent Yin and Yang energy. 3.3 Society is more familiar with masculine values, but we need to explore and cultivate feminine values internally. 3.4 Femininity and masculinity go beyond external appearances and are more about internal experiences and actions, with femininity being associated with being and the internal experience, and masculinity being associated with everything external. 4. 09:47 🧠 The Anima embodies feminine traits like compassion and emotional intelligence, while the Animus embodies masculine traits like rationality and logic, and both are present in everyone and repressing them can lead to a dense Shadow and undermine authenticity. 4.1 The Anima represents feminine traits such as compassion, awareness, and emotional intelligence, while the Animus represents masculine traits such as goal setting, rationality, and logic. 4.2 The Anima and Animus are not exclusive to men and women, but rather represent feminine and masculine traits that everyone has the capacity to develop, and repressing these traits can lead to a dense Shadow and undermine authenticity. 5. 12:30 🧠 A fully developed anima in men allows for authenticity, compassion, emotional intelligence, and honesty, while an underdeveloped anima leads to Anima possession and viewing women as only sexual objects. 5.1 A fully developed anima in men allows for authenticity, compassion, emotional intelligence, and honesty, while an underdeveloped anima leads to Anima possession and viewing women as only sexual objects. 5.2 A man with an underdeveloped feminine side will struggle with repression, anima possession, and seeing women as controlling, leading to a lack of direction, self-doubt, and spinelessness. 5.3 The stages of Anima development in Jungian psychology involve the anima influencing a man's courage and creativity, with women being seen as having agency and virtue in different stages. 5.4 Men who are rigid in their ideas of what is good and virtuous, and who project a sacralization of women onto everything, are unable to have authentic emotional connections and access the wisdom that comes from integrating the anima. 6. 16:47 🧠 Integrating the feminine side allows men to access wisdom and achieve balance, while disconnecting from emotions can lead to irrational behavior and feelings of unfairness. 6.1 Fully integrating the feminine side allows men to view women as unique individuals, access wisdom, and apply their logos to feminine Eros, creating and acting from a balanced space. 6.2 Men who do not integrate their inner feminine qualities will experience anima possession, feeling controlled by women and unable to achieve wholeness. 6.3 A man who is disconnected from his emotions may experience directionless, moody, and irrational behavior, leading to feelings of misogyny and unfairness, but integrating the Animus involves accepting, valuing, and honoring emotions. 6.4 Acknowledge and validate your emotions as they are messages from the unconscious mind, and focus on internal development through practices like meditation and introspection. 7. 21:18 🧠 Integrating the anima involves developing nurturing and loving qualities, breaking away from masculine social expectations, and seeing the opposite gender as whole individuals to enhance masculinity. 7.1 Developing the nurturing and loving side, and being authentic by breaking away from masculine social expectations and seeing the opposite gender as whole individuals is important for integrating the anima. 7.2 Take action on positive thoughts, integrate the anima as an enhancer to masculinity, and see the feminine as the soil from which masculinity grows. 8. 23:47 🧠 Integrating the animus allows for analytical prowess and direction in life, while embracing authenticity and developing Yin and Yang traits leads to becoming a highly developed individual. 8.1 The Animus in women and feminine men has a multi-faceted image that reflects various qualities of men, and when integrated, it allows for analytical prowess and direction in life. 8.2 The development of the animus in a woman progresses from seeking a strong protector to asserting her own worldview and making things happen. 8.3 Connecting with the inner animus or anima can help manifest creativity and bring out insights and ideas through active imagination and dialogue with inner authority figures. 8.4 A woman with an underdeveloped animus may exhibit animus possession, leading to rigidity, aggressiveness, and a focus on material things, but integrating the animus involves understanding and embracing one's values. 8.5 Understand and express your emotions, set clear boundaries, and develop independence and leadership qualities separate from societal expectations. 8.6 Embrace authenticity and develop Yin and Yang traits to become a highly developed individual, regardless of gender identity.

[@coweatsman]

Generally a good video but the advice for men was a bit naive. My advice to men as a man myself would be to avoid single mothers as partners because of the legal risk. Should te relationship end the man could easily find himself the "legal father" even though he is not the actual father of the child. A child support land mine that could end up costing 6 figures over a period of a couple of decades. It is absolutely insane to date a single mother. The other suggestion was to date older women. I doubt this is going to get traction. Biologically and at an unconscious level the man is looking for reproductive potential even if consciously he does not want to reproduce. Biological factors into mate selection in spite of our rational selves. That's why we find some people attractive at first sight. An older woman instantly transmits less fecundity. It would be like asking a woman to consider dating a 93 pound weakling. It aint going to happen. Those women a man might turn away from may be for good reasons. The man's intuition may be on the ball.

[@TheDiamondNet]

I think you misunderstand the advice in my video. I'm not giving dating or relationship advice. There are plenty other videos about that. I didn't suggest dating older women, but spending time with women outside the norm range you would date (younger and older), so that you come to see them as full people without the interference of the sexual drive which tends to give tunnel vision toward the opposite gender. This, on an unconscious level effects how you come to see yourself as well as your psychological wholeness. The advice in my video is meant to be applied internally to make yourself psychologically whole by integrating the contrapositive side... in your case, your feminine side. It's about creating a connection to the unconscious mind and the Self through developing both your masculine and feminine potentials.

[@krackowkid6618]

I don't what you were listening to. Do you listen to something and hear something completely different to what been said? Your interpretation of what she said is completely invented in your own hear.

[@travelinghermit]

KrackowKid He's incorporating what he's learned, with what he's experienced. We're all trying to make sense of life. We're on different paths to the same goal.

[@MatthewAshworth]

I personally find a more reliable source is to look at the woman's family and relationship with her parents. If she grew up in a loving home and her father and mother are on good terms, she likely would have healthy relationship with them and her animus would be developing well (even if she is fairly young). By contrast, a woman who has had a fragmented family or poor relationship with her parents, especially her father, is likely going to become possessed by the animus and is bad news as a romantic partner. With a lack of protector (father) in the family, she likely looks to her animus to fill that role and is going to be stuck in the 1st stage of its development.

[@susannahdi]

Excellent description and great examples. Thank you ❤

[@peternk7947]

Too much sjw stuff, maybe you are right and it's not your intention to talk about politics, but I couldn't watch it complete because all this lgbt thing is pure nonesense and I don't want to hear another word about it, your other videos are great though.

[@TheDiamondNet]

I am bisexual, so it is natural that I would need to make sure that my understandings of certain concepts have consistency with my experience of reality. I am also a woman who has struggled with feminine repression for a large chunk of my life, and masculine repression for a small chunk of my life. So, to you, these topics are simply political and words like LGBT probably sound like PC buzzwords. For me, it is actually a major part of my human experience. So, my perspective must have integrity with my experiences if they are going to be worth sharing. So, the intent is not to be political but instead to be honest, thorough, and consistent. It's unfortunate that these aspects of life have become politicized to the extent that it's difficult to talk about them without seeming politically divisive. But these aspects being politicized doesn't make them any less real and doesn't make them have any less impact on the details of my life.

[@peternk7947]

I´m a libertarian, I'm in favor of free speech and the free markets, the thing is that all this lgbt movement is against this ideals just because there is a lot of people that doesn't like the lgbt or doesn't want to be a part of it, I have no problem for someone to have any sexual preferences, but I do have a problem when people doesn't respect my freedom of choice and want to obligate me to think and act in their ways, the last time I tried to have a civilized argument with a lgbt this guy jumped over me and bite my face while the woman where applauding him, the repression you are talking about is just a difference in the opinions of individuals and nothing more, now the lgbt want to opress everybody using the government as a tool of repression, I can see you are a nice person but I will never have a good view of the lgbt movement as a colectivism. Sory for my english.

[@TheDiamondNet]

LGBT just means that a person is lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgendered. It has nothing to do with freedom of choice or freedom of speech at all. A lot of political rhetoric tries to frame it in that way though. And I'm always shocked that the rhetoric works and that so many people believe that and actually make genuine attempts to argue against that straw man. But there is no parallel between having a particular sexual preference/gender identity and trying to take away people's freedoms. People who are LGBT just want to be able to have freedom of choice and freedom of expression themselves without the government telling them what they can and can't do or making laws that disenfranchise them and discriminate against them. Now, when it comes to individual people who don't accept people who are LGBT, it is natural for us to be upset about this because it is invalidating to our existence and we also know that if that number of people gets too big, it can cause many human rights issues for us. We don't want to go backwards. So, it is natural for people to get upset and protest against it. Some people might even fly off the handle depending on their disposition, because it's painful. But this is not advocating for taking away someone's right to think the way they think or say what they want to say. But it is an attempt to exercise our own freedom of speech and to express our genuine displeasure at people's attempts to invalidate. For people of a more social progress oriented mindset, they might speak out to try to have influence over the status quo so that people can understand more and hopefully bring the minds of the masses more toward acceptance. This is no different than any other social movement throughout the ages. There have always been and will always be people who have tried to influence the social structure to go in a particular direction: sometimes for better and sometimes for worse. This is not censorship or an attempt to squelch someone's freedoms. It is the opposite. It is freedom of speech in action. But of course, no one should bite someone or harm someone because of this. That's a really low brow and barbaric way to deal with people who you disagree with. But also consider that there are low brow people in the world. And perhaps poking people of any sexual preference/gender identity (including straight/cis-gendered people) with psychological sticks will occasionally result in an ass-whooping, depending on the demeanor of the individual that you upset. But most people will be able to respond without violence to your disagreement with their lifestyle, even if they do get angry. Also, to be clear, (and I'm not sure if this is what you meant by what you posted) LGBT people are not trying to get other people to become LGBT. It's not like an attempt to convert people over. That's not actually possible in the first place. If a person is straight, then they can't be anything else but straight. It's just trying to raise awareness so that people realize that being LGBT is just another intonation of humanity, even if it is less common than being straight or cis-gendered. It's like being left-handed. It's normal, even if it isn't that common.

[@peternk7947]

My way of viewing this is that people can do whatever they want, I have not even a singular problem with lgbt if this is away from politics, but it's not, feminists and the left wing are making just a huge problem about this, I hate the conservatives that don't let people live the way they want and those are the ones that shame the lgbt, not the libertarians, the thing that is totally wrong is to teach the little kids about this gender ideology in school when they are just inocent little creatures, also the transgender people want the surgeries to be paid by the taxpayers, same with the abortion, I don't want to pay for other people's problems because I got my own ones, also why there should be p,ropaganda about this, that's insane, sexual preferences are something that should be manifested in a private way, not in a public way, if someone want to have any sexual activity then just get a room and that is for heterosexuals too, why everybody have to make a big deal of this, if someone is gay then why everybody should know it, they should just be and let people guess during time just like with heterosexuals who not talking about, anyway that's my opinion about this, thanks for your answers, you are one of the few lgbt persons that are open minded and can talk about this stuff without irracional resentments, keep it up I loved your jungian shadow material.

[@TheDiamondNet]

The main reason why LGBT issues have become political is because there are laws on the books that are either purposefully or accidentally causing issues for them. As far as wanting tax-payer dollars to go toward abortions or sex change surgery, I have never heard of this. Not to say, that there aren't people who hold more extreme fiscal views like this. I'm sure that they're out there, because everything is out there. But I'm pretty sure that it's a small minority of LGBT people who want that. The reason why I say this is because I have a lot of very politically involved liberals on my Facebook and they post lots of liberal memes and videos. So, I'm always up to date on the mainstream liberal viewpoints, and I've never heard these things advocated for. Mostly, the political issues on the left regarding LGBT people are about getting laws put in place for the protection of LGBT individuals so that they are protected from discrimination in the same way that race, gender, and religion are. Or they are rebuttals to the people who want to ban gay marriage or deny transgendered people the ability to use the restroom of the gender that they identify with. So, that's really the reason why it's politicized. I think it's a shame that it has to be, because it's such a non-political thing at its core. But because society is adjusting to it there is a lot of political resistance on one hand and also a lot of practical political issues that have to be resolved for the adjustment to happen in the political sphere. And there's a lot of tension around these issues because people on one side are afraid to change, and people on the other side don't want to slide backwards into the way things were before. So, that's really the only reason why these things are a big deal right now. It's a time of transitions. A hundred years from now, my prediction is that it will have already ceased to be a political issue as it will just be seen as mundane and nothing to bat an eye at. And all the legislative issues will have already been hammered out. But you're welcome. And thank you for your kind words. I'm glad that you like the Jungian stuff. :)

It took me about three times watching this to really get your point. I had a mental block to this the first few times watching for some reason. You taught me something deep here for me as I think you hit on my main issue.

[@TheDiamondNet]

I find that this issue is a big issue for most people in society to some degree or another. We have a lot of distorted ideas about gender and how people should feel, act, or be based on their gender. Then, there is also a strong Yang preference at the expense of Yin. So, these two factors in combination put a lot of pressure on people to bend themselves out of shape and deny certain aspects of their reality.

[@SycodelicMaleVEVO]

+The Diamond Net I don't fit in with men because most are macho. I wish I could pick up social skills to relate with those type of men or women more.

Did you just assume my gender? Sorry I just had to!😄 This video is a life saver. I’ve been looking for this for soo long. A kundalini awakening I had a few years back really messed my energies up due to a lack of knowledge. Ive literally been jumping back and forth between Anima and Animus for years. Not realizing what the hell is going on. Loosing my sense of identity/persona even Ego. Now I can understand so much more of my experience. Just found Jungs concept on anima/animus today. I’m so excited!!😍 Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You are a diamond!

I absolutely ❤ your content! I’m so glad I was lead to your channel 🌀I am trying to inergrate my shadow and learning how to do shadow work in order to be in touch with my higher self. I’m learning that this is a continuous process of awareness. And realizing I am complete but never done. Thank you so much for your help in this process.🕉☯️☮️

I'm very happy that I came across this channel... I have a plethora of questions to ask, and you seem to have a wealth of knowledge... Some of the contentions seem like an appropriation of the works and thinking of Lao Tzu and the philosophy of Taoism... No?

I don't know a ton about Taoism or Lao Tzu, though I've always enjoyed his quotes and it's definitely something I want to look into more. But I just read the Tao Te Ching about a month or two ago for the first time, and I found some similarities between what he described in metaphor and my own personal experiences (I had two experiences of ego-transcendence several years ago). I also studied quite a bit about Jungian Psychology and a bit about Non-Duality as well as a handful of other spiritual concepts. So, it's just likely that we stumbled across some of the same insights or that the other things I've researched have been influenced by Taoism. I always like to say "Same path. Same trees.":)
