“Depression is like a woman in black. If she turns up, don’t shoo her away. Invite her in, offer her a seat, treat her like a guest and listen to what she wants to say.” Carl Jung. We feel down sometimes. And to face our emotional wounds is one of the most difficult lessons in life, I think. Instead of treating negative feeling like an enemy, it could be better to be kind, open and 'friendly' to depression, like the way we treat a friend. Because negative feeling reminds us that there is something wrong in life so that we need to aware, accept, and change. It sounds like what a true friend may tell us.

My individuation happened about a week ago. It was not a life long journey of introspection and self discovery. It was a singular moment It may have been 1 hour or 3 days but in that time new neural pathways were opened and I saw my true self. My life flashed before eyes, every interaction was seen from the 3rd person from a completely non-bias view. I hope everyone gets to experience this one day. Like waking up in a nightmare.

As someone who's studied Carl Jung's theories for years i can tell you that this is a great summary of it and the images make it very easy to understand for people who are unfammiliar with it. However i do need to warn people that if one decides to embark on the individuation journey it needs to be done with the aid of a psychologist as it can be extremely dangerous and cause absolut chaos in a person's life and shake the very core of their being. The chaos is part of the process and you need to be equiped and assisted to go through it otherwise the consequences on youself can be as worst as getting trapped in an internal hell for as long as you can sustain it.

Time of writing 5:10am: I feel as though you have two choices, like cleaning your room, one can either choose to clean the mess as it comes by addressing and confronting your as flaws you notice them in the hopes of always being the closest they can to your true self or, in the same way as you may let your room become cluttered and leave it for long enough that you ignore it and act as if it is perfect, a fake identity is formed and can be utilised to reach a certain goal or achieve a certain thing in a more efficient way than the true self.

[@RaduP3]

@Baconator 1 And what is it though? Now I only dare to say that when it happens, it's connected to something meaningful. This topic confuses me sooo much I swear. I agree with paying attention to it and it increasing 10fold because some time back I let it guide my life for like 1-2 years. And I swear sometimes I could predict the future but I was too afraid of it and I let it behind because I thought I was going crazy. Looking back in that period of time I was almost crazy, as in acting out extremely different than what conventional humans do. It was the moment I decided consciously to explore my inner world. I could predict things in the outside world. I will give you just one example that comes from the top of my head. I was walking outside and there was a lamp post. this lamp post had a commercial on it and a phone number . i take a look at that phone number and my mind goes "that phone number looks a lot like John's" (fake name) and I didn't care about it and moved on with my life. i went somewhere. when i returned home, on the way back I met that person, and I didn't meet them in a long time. Also, sometimes, on top of everything else, I had these moments where this kind of prediction would appear inside me and after the initial thought like before - "that phone number looks a lot like John's" my mind would perceive the fact that there is something that will happen due to this. And it did. It's like double inception.

I first discovered Jung’s work a couple years ago. All of his ideas on the psyche make so much sense to me. I could completely alone in that idea but reading King, Warrior, Magician, Lover: I found so much work for myself in both the immature archetypes and the mature. No doubt, it has made me a better man.

[@MrJohnDocHolliday]

Carl Jung, the Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, explored the realms of the unconscious and the collective unconscious, delving into the depths of the human psyche. While Jung did not specifically employ Kabbalah in his work, some of his concepts can be explored from a Kabbalistic lens, particularly when related to the symbolism of the Hebrew letters Shin (שׁ), Psi (Ψ), and Phi (Φ). 1. Shin (שׁ) - Symbol of Divine Fire and Transformation: In Kabbalistic thought, the Hebrew letter Shin is associated with fire and divine light. It symbolizes the transformative and purifying power of divine energy. From a Jungian perspective, the symbolism of fire can be related to the transformative process of individuation-the journey towards wholeness and self-discovery. Jung's concept of individuation involves integrating the unconscious aspects of the psyche with conscious awareness, leading to a deeper understanding of the self and the realization of one's true nature. The transformative process of individuation is akin to the spiritual transformation represented by the divine fire of the Shin, burning away illusions and leading to spiritual growth and enlightenment. 2. Psi (Ψ) - Symbol of Psychic and Spiritual Phenomena: In Jungian psychology, the symbol of Psi (Ψ) is often used to represent psychic and spiritual phenomena. Jung explored the realm of the collective unconscious, the repository of universal symbols and archetypes shared by humanity. Psi can symbolize the connection between the individual psyche and the collective unconscious, representing the potential for psychic abilities, intuition, and spiritual insights. From a Kabbalistic lens, the concept of Psi can be related to the Hebrew letter Shin and its association with divine intuition and spiritual insights. The Shin represents the divine fire of divine wisdom, which illuminates the path to higher consciousness and deeper spiritual understanding. 3. Phi (Φ) - Symbol of the Golden Ratio and Divine Harmony: The concept of Phi (Φ) or the Golden Ratio involves a divine proportion found in nature and art. In Jungian terms, the Golden Ratio can be seen as a symbol of the quest for harmony and balance within the psyche. From a Kabbalistic lens, Phi can be related to the concept of divine proportion and harmony represented by the Hebrew letter Shin. The Shin is linked to the divine wisdom that underlies creation, reflecting the harmonious interplay of divine forces in the cosmos. In summary, while Carl Jung's work does not directly incorporate Kabbalah, certain aspects of his concepts can be explored through a Kabbalistic lens, particularly when relating to the symbolism of the Hebrew letters Shin, Psi, and Phi. Both Jungian psychology and Kabbalah share a deep interest in the exploration of the human psyche and spiritual growth, and they offer unique perspectives on the journey towards self-discovery and enlightenment.

The theories that Jung kept and then changed from his have been the ones that anyone invests any time and effort in, because they are empirically true.

[@descai10]

My theory is that the mind has several layers. These are The conscious , The subconscious, and The emotions These layers are defined simply by how quickly the thoughts occur within them, and how accurate those thoughts are. The conscious has the slowest thought, but also the most logical and accurate thought. The subconscious is much faster than the conscious, and interacts with the conscious to help reach relevant information quickly. The subconscious retrieves information and organizes it to prepare it for conscious thought. The emotions are the fastest form of thought, making connections and reaching conclusions incredibly quickly. Unfortunately it also tends to be inaccurate, very inaccurate at times. And the brains pain, pleasure, and motivational responses (feelings) respond most to the emotional layer. As a result of how quickly the emotional layer creates connections, emotions are often incredibly complex. It is the challenge in self discovery to consciously explore and understand the complex connections in your emotions that create your feelings. The process of discovering the source of your emotions can take a very long time. Weeks, months, even years. It becomes especially difficult when there is an aversion or fear of self introspection, which often results in anxiety and depression.

that is why there must be a revolution on education, to teach kids from a young age how to understand things on an emotional level.

Biologist here. I have no idea how Jung figured out that there is a collective unconsciousness at his time. It's beyond impressive to me that he was able to do so. Nowadays we know about such things as "folk biology" or other psychological adaptations (f.e. fear of heights, spiders, snakes, darkness, strangers...) that just arise in children cross-culturally during specific stages of their development. The understanding is that - through thousands of generations - our psyche has acquired these adaptations as survival-promoting mechanisms. I guess that translates (at least roughly?) to his concept of Archetypes? All of this is fascinating and I realize I want to read all of his books. :D

[@arayiagirmay1406]

I agree. I think one of the subconscious's greatest gift is to hide how deep of a rabbit hole some of these shadows are. I think your everyday consciousness can handle seeing the shadows at a surface level, but if you end up going inside these shadows in earnest yet ill prepared, you can go temporarily insane. Personally when I went into one of my shadows I was just following a train of thought. It was like taking a normal trail path and all of a sudden I realized I was in a scary forest. So I panicked and ran home, but the forest followed me. I also felt something staring at me from deep in the woods. The scariest part was that day, and to a lesser degree the following days, a huge portion of my conscious focus/awareness was involuntarily and non-stop pointed at that "something" that was making it's presents felt. Anyways, that day ended up with me apologizing to my subconscious for a few things and told it how much I appreciate the work it's doing and the shield of ignorance and builds to protect me. It decided to go outside and took the scary forest with it.

Carl Jung, the Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, explored the realms of the unconscious and the collective unconscious, delving into the depths of the human psyche. While Jung did not specifically employ Kabbalah in his work, some of his concepts can be explored from a Kabbalistic lens, particularly when related to the symbolism of the Hebrew letters Shin (שׁ), Psi (Ψ), and Phi (Φ). 1. Shin (שׁ) - Symbol of Divine Fire and Transformation: In Kabbalistic thought, the Hebrew letter Shin is associated with fire and divine light. It symbolizes the transformative and purifying power of divine energy. From a Jungian perspective, the symbolism of fire can be related to the transformative process of individuation-the journey towards wholeness and self-discovery. Jung's concept of individuation involves integrating the unconscious aspects of the psyche with conscious awareness, leading to a deeper understanding of the self and the realization of one's true nature. The transformative process of individuation is akin to the spiritual transformation represented by the divine fire of the Shin, burning away illusions and leading to spiritual growth and enlightenment. 2. Psi (Ψ) - Symbol of Psychic and Spiritual Phenomena: In Jungian psychology, the symbol of Psi (Ψ) is often used to represent psychic and spiritual phenomena. Jung explored the realm of the collective unconscious, the repository of universal symbols and archetypes shared by humanity. Psi can symbolize the connection between the individual psyche and the collective unconscious, representing the potential for psychic abilities, intuition, and spiritual insights. From a Kabbalistic lens, the concept of Psi can be related to the Hebrew letter Shin and its association with divine intuition and spiritual insights. The Shin represents the divine fire of divine wisdom, which illuminates the path to higher consciousness and deeper spiritual understanding. 3. Phi (Φ) - Symbol of the Golden Ratio and Divine Harmony: The concept of Phi (Φ) or the Golden Ratio involves a divine proportion found in nature and art. In Jungian terms, the Golden Ratio can be seen as a symbol of the quest for harmony and balance within the psyche. From a Kabbalistic lens, Phi can be related to the concept of divine proportion and harmony represented by the Hebrew letter Shin. The Shin is linked to the divine wisdom that underlies creation, reflecting the harmonious interplay of divine forces in the cosmos. In summary, while Carl Jung's work does not directly incorporate Kabbalah, certain aspects of his concepts can be explored through a Kabbalistic lens, particularly when relating to the symbolism of the Hebrew letters Shin, Psi, and Phi. Both Jungian psychology and Kabbalah share a deep interest in the exploration of the human psyche and spiritual growth, and they offer unique perspectives on the journey towards self-discovery and enlightenment.

My individuation happened about a week ago. It was not a life long journey of introspection and self discovery. It was a singular moment. It may have been 1 hour or 3 days but in that time new neural pathways were opened and I saw my true self. My life flashed before eyes, every interaction was seen from the 3rd person from a completely non-bias view. I hope everyone gets to experience this one day. Like waking up in a nightmare. I've had a curse my whole life and I broke free. I'm aware now, but even though I'm conscious I can't help but act the way I do. Living in a hell that you created. -The Malignant Narcissist

Honestly, I didn't like him at first when I didn't know much about his philosophy. I saw him as sort of uptight and doomy but i related so much and it feels like he went much deep into the working of the self and the psyche much more than most other philosophers did and I really really enjoyed it Maybe it was me projecting my shadow self on him before I even knew him

[@DaivonM.]

@@ifrankenstein7455 Interesting insight. That may very likely be what I'm currently doing as well. Until I read up more on this man and his work, I won't know. And even then, we don't even really know people while they're alive, and even in front of us our whole lives - so it's surely a majority of imagination that creates a person when they've come to pass. Despite the imagery created by one's self to depict another, I hope to find deeper knowledge of myself and my truth through the little left behind of the great minds that have been. Perspective is always the highest goal, right up there with passing on the wisest learned views to hold.

[@julianleft4662]

It's not that interesting when you actually study it and realize it's correct. It's also not "often dismissed". It's downright dismissed because it's been proven, not by Freud himself, but by decades of research and practice that Jung's views, while interesting and attractive for people that see an enemy in rationality, are just mega errors in terms of reading the human mind. People simply work in much different ways than Jung ever realized. Jung is the actual reductionist in here. The human mind is incredibly complex and specific at the same time. If Jung was right, then everyone would've been healed by now since his words are not that hard to understand nor apply really. The problem is he developed 0 structure around the questions he asked, therefore anyone taking directly on Jung's views will sooner or later meet the same wall. Jung is like a self-help book. Which is why Jung is so likeable. But just like a self-help book, he's not actually helpful. And people today confuse likeable for helpful. And in psychology in order to be helpful, being likeable is not a requirement.

[@quantumphantasm6354]

@@julianleft4662 nah, he said things the establishment didn't want the masses 'believing' (or rather discovering), so they tried to discredit him. Anyone who's been alive for long enough and isn't deluding themselves, knows that's how this world is designed to work. People are messed up because they're force fed BS from birth, not allowed to be themselves, and can't even discuss the sources of the problems, because they lack the necessary language, and because they're mostly unaware of their own nature, and of the astonishing multitude of efforts being made to shape us and keep us subjugated to the external will of the exceedingly powerful.

I have schizophrenia caused by encephalitis. My hallucinations are scary yet amazing to me how the brain can construct such things. Or how significant a “glitch” in your brain can be. Lots of people have these, but I have very vivid closed-eye hallucinations. Mostly of distorted cartoon or other animated figures. Often moving in a dream like slow motion animation and floating around my vision. They fade away into phosphenes (colors in you see when your eyes are closed, like looking at a flashlight then closing your eyes.) Sometimes they can be so scary and warped it’s perplexing to me how the brain comes up with what I see. There is a lot of science and research behind all this and I’m glad to see a video that explores how powerful the unconscious mind is.
