Lecture: 2015 Personality Lecture 06: Depth Psychology: Carl Jung (Part 01)

[@sointeresting3938]

I obtained a bachelor in psychology from Concordia University in Montreal and then a Masters of Science in Psychiatry from McGill years ago and I must say that when I hear your lectures I am grateful that I finally get what many professors could not give their students. They conveyed the details that they learned from textbooks but with no personal analyses - details without personal reflection or any emphasis on their significance. You on the other hand present information, valuable one at that, and you do so after having reflected upon this material thoroughly. You Sir are a pearl, a shining light, and we are lucky to have you. You are what a true professor should be! Thank you and God bless you. You live a beautiful and meaningful life and touch many!

@So interesting! I'm sorry but you say you got a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and then a Masters in Psychiatry - How is that even possible? Psychiatry is a specialization in the field of Medicine - in order to study Psychiatry you would first need to get a Medical Degree. It's impossible to study Psychiatry with a Psychology degree - did you get an M.D. as well?

Spot-on. I felt an enormous lack in understanding in the public education system for a long time, especially being a first generation American within a family that escaped tyrannical communism.

After persistent studying with Dr. Peterson, and friends, I would describe that ability as having mushroomed beyond levels I thought would be attainable to myself- especially it being primarily a KZbin-playlist study course lol

[@mmojorissen]

@Blindi NO... morailty is not "built into us." It's man-made. Those who know about Carl Jung also know he was familiar with "Nietzsche." Though not all that "Nietzsche" professed is considered "law"... he was correct in believing that "morality" is/was man-made. We are born with primal instincts for survival. All else is derivative.

[@mmojorissen]

@Blindi Wild animals don't start wars; wild animals are not prejudiced; wild animals don't poison Mother Earth. Elephants and dolphins are extremely intellgent beings. When's the last time an elephant planned and executed a mass killing. Man's intellect feeds his emotional/primal instinct. He is incapable of achieving peace. "The world is a will to power and nothing besides." Calling me a "wild animal" is essentially a complement. I've never started a war; I'm not prejudiced... and I di my best not 2 poison Mother Earth. Further... u contradicted urself. U stated that morality is "built into us" then conversely stated "morality can be man-made." I think it was morality that precipitated the decision to drop the 1st atom bomb?! Warfare is not based on morality. It's based on primal instinct- to survive. It's based on natural selection- the strong vanquishing the weak- evolution. The human species evolved very quickly, intellectually... but his base emotions can never keep pace. Ergo, the intellect feeds the base emotions and makes mankind exponentially more violent and danerous. Greed for power, lust for power, vane with power, sloth with power, etc. None of these traits can be removed from then human species. Watch the 6:00 O'clock news- then tell me about the "golden rule." Was it morality that provoked the Europeans to commit genocide against the Native Americans? The largest genocide in history. The Europeans referred to the Native Americans as savages and animals because they ate with their fingers, didn't cover themselves completely with clothing, etc. If that's being an animal... count me in.

[@mmojorissen]

@Blindi Simple. Hmm... intriguing. Simplicity in essence, should be preferred. "Ockham's Razor"- Though intended for mathematics, Wiliam of Ockham stated (paraphrasing), the simplest solution is the best solution. Mankind lives more according to Machiavelli's rule- "The end justifies the means." Regardless of ill will towards others and any fear of consequences... by whatever means considered necessary to reach the desired goal ( the end), is acceptable. Case in point: April, 19, 1993 ( I believe), the federal gov't lay siege to David Koresh's compound... knowing that innocent children would perish- "the end justified their means." Koresh was killed and the commune was ended- but innocent children were killed. To the hierarchy of those the people give power to, those losses (dead children), were and remain acceptable. "Morality"... the golden rule. Surrrr... and I'm Peter Pan living in "Never Never Land."

Been following Mr. Peterson's lectures for a couple months and there's so much information to process. I've reviewed lectures multiple times to get everything. I've decided to finally comment so that I can share something he said that really resonates with me: "...One of the reasons to be educated, from a literary and historical perspective, is that you can come to understand what you already know. Because if you don't understand it then there's an element of your being, the element that knows it an acts it out, and there's another element which is sort-of you as a personality, that are completely at odds with one another. And that makes you weak - it makes you something that's divided within itself." Thanks so much for posting these lectures!

I really thought that part was insightful too, it speaks of a common psychological mechanism that underlies dysfunctional behavior in so many of us

[@DimljenaRiba]

But you will never understand intellectually all the things you know (though you can structure them toward efficient utilization). I will use an extreme example to demonstrate what I mean: You can grasp the concept of infinity but you know that you will never understand it. Why do humans seem to instinctively develope a concept of something which they know they cannot understood? Similarly you feel yourself as a personality but I don't think that you can intellectually grasp either the "self" or what constitutes your personality. Even with a profound understanding of psychology it's just a like sketch drawing. It can effectively describe some of the mechanics and patterns, but never the whole thing. Life is to be lived, not everything can be dissected. The unknown will always remain...

[@mr.c2485]

DimljenaRiba Good insight. Consider worry and anxiety...two elements of our human existence that we blindly accept as part of human reality and experience.

For about the past year I have been watching and re-watching every Jordan Peterson video I have found. I never grow tired of this and gain new insights each time I listen or watch. It's hard to comment (without going into an actual essay) due to the complexity of any given lecture. I find this channel infinitely valuable. The discussion of Pinocchio strikes a chord because it was the first movie I loved as a child. He brings such clarity to the meaning of a story that I thought I knew well. I almost feel as though he translated my previous un-named experience of the film into coherent words.

I watched the movie several times as a child, but when it was time to watch with it with my children I did it once, I found it kind of nightmarish so I decided not to let them watch anymore. But Peterson's interpretation opened my eyes that there was more than the frightening part, so it is interesting to listen to his correlations with psychology, myths and history.

First, what does he base his percentage on? Huh? Where'd that come from? Secondly, I read somewhere that the IQ of the group is generally lower than the IQ of an individual. If this is true ie fact, seems reasonable that the system by nature outflaws the individual. Unless he means that the system is a mirror of the individual. I figured he meant to say that society developed over tons of years along with the evolution of people, the individual; this parallel synchronous existence implicitly means that both individual and society are the same character. Silly. Also, I thought that group behavior research shows that people, acting as a group, do much worse things than people acting as individuals. So, ultimately, the society has to be creepier than the individual .. Then, there is the research that proves that people, acting under the direction of an authority figure (intrinsic to the definition of a society) will do, ....is this the animus in me?

This video shines the light upon the Jordan Peterson that we know today. He appears to speaks in 8-minute chunks, arguing something making long digressions, carefully switching between philosophy and modern psychology/sociology. He handled that super-well during his famous BBC interview, even better here - without the combative pressure. As he ages, he leans more and more into the philosophical, the dionisian, so his political judgements seem more and more clouded.

[@angelicaluce3230]

When I was a schoolgirl in England, I went to school in Birmingham - I lived in the country outside of the city and had to take one of those big red double-decker buses back and forth every day I used to sit UPSTAIRS and DAYDREAM the whole journey. I was 13. Some time during those years, I discovered JUNG. "MEMORIES, DREAMS & REFLECTIONS" he told the story of how he would DAYDREAM on the bus - what he'd see and how out-of-his-body he woud go! Many times, he'd miss his stop. I was hooked! He's been my dude ever since. A few years ago, I found my other DUDE. Every 6 months or so I watch him - just to re-educate myself. Jordan is so 'out of the realm" - when I hear him speak, I understand what he's saying - but if I had to REPEAT it to anyone, seconds later, I wouldn't be able to 'get my head around it'. For instance, he said "From a Jungian perspective, a lot of the forces that ancient people considered 'deities' were personified representations of "instinctual" systems". RIGHT! I KNOW what he means, but I couldn't TELL YOU! He's a brilliant mystery I LOVE HIM!

[@davidwarchy]

Well I found your comment quite enrapturing. I think he meant that inside of us we have functions that we repeatedly go to so as to function. Just imagine why it is difficult to stop thinking just for a minute. All the time the mind might be analysing running these functions, on the look out for trouble and danger and opportunity. I think the reason why it might be difficult to express to people is because most of the times it might involve our desires. Our desires occur frequently enough from our mind's eye but they don't have a platform in open society, and so lack precedence or patterns of speaking about them. What Jordan is doing, imo, is establishing such patterns by speaking in a language that you already "know". If you think about what he says deeply enough, you can express it sufficiently to another. Love

I just LOVE the way you illustrate the symbolism, using Disney movies! :-) I have been doing the same, but nobody thus far seemed to "get it"! :-) Jung also mentioned "the alchemy of opposites" in his work. And that - to me - is beautifully displayed in 'Beauty & The Beast', in which 'the rose' represents 'the Heart'. The scene in which she tries to touch it, is priceless!! :-) Also, in "Mulan", there is so much symbolism (the dragon representing the 'fears', huge at first, but very small afterwards), then 'the training' with the perfect song "be a man", referring to the necessity for Mulan to "integrate the animus". And the very best: she gets sent home, and when does she find the Truth? At NIGHT, "in the unconscious".... and when day breaks, she throws the arrow at her teacher's feet, who even walks out of a tent, with the Ourobouros painted on it!! :-) Oh oh, and finally, in 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame', there is a scene in which Esmeralda is locked up in the church, and then she starts praying. From the lyrics, it sounds as if she prays to "the typical patriarchal punishing 'god'-archetype", but when she looks up, she seems to be talking to "the Mother & child", 'the feminine principle'. Maybe I'm a little over-enthusiastic with these Disney-films, but here I have finally found a partner in crime, haha! :-) Lovely lectures, thanks again! :-) The world needs more of this type of education! :-)
