Damn, man. That was deep and meaningful. I am a huge fan of the Nolan Batman Trilogies, and a psychology enthusiast, but I never thought someone would so eloquently connect these themes and explain them in such a profound manner. This hit hard, and as always, it was at the perfect moment in my life's circle. Thank you very much for this video, I appreciate you sir.
I'm trying to write my life story even though I have brain injury that has cost me a great deal of my 30s relearned to spell .well I still am trying to improve my memory and strengthen my recall in short term memory .my awakening had a road block I'm still trying to overcome bad relationship and his suicide set me on self destruct path .I'm doing much better getting all the pain and trauma I'd ignored from a young age came pouring out and needed to get out and I've done it through spiritual work and programs like this along with a few books too I wish you a quicker road to your awakening and stay on the rainbow out of reach of those trying to pull you back to where you were and the place they can't rise up out of . Choose you first that was my mistake one I won't make again
Wow, this is one of the kindest comments I've received on this channel. Thank you, it really means the world to me that you took the time to watch and share these words. As a fellow Nolan fan and psychology enthusiast, I'm touched and I appreciate you too, my friend.
You are an absolute inspiration, Lisa. Thank you for sharing your story. It moved me deeply to read it. I am rooting for you, in every way. Big love to you and yours, my friend
Beautifully written. Inspired to look into my dark shadow and address it. I’m 31 (male) and hold a lot of animosity for things in life that I “didn’t do”.
Thanks so much, Abhi. I can't tell you what it means to me that you continue to show support for each of my videos. I appreciate you, my friend! I hope all is wonderful in your world.
Can't explain how relatable this video is , everyone should watch it as it literally represents the detailed journey of awakening and making a change in ones life from within.
@@ModernIntuitionist I believe it is not true that, "cynical people just want to drag others down into their pit of despair." That is one way of looking at the result of their behavior, but I think it is more a case that they want to lift themselves up, out of despair, insecurity, feelings of inadequacy. Without self confidence, they can't do that, they don't know how. So discrediting everything and everyone brings them great comfort. They set the narrative, 'those things, that person, appear great, but it has this deep flaw, that's why I never did that. You shouldn't respect that, you should respect me. }peace
I watched the dark knight trilogy a countless number of times in the years those movies were released. I wasn't aware of, or really old enough, to read the content I have since. Psychological health writers have given me great tools for mental health. I have not once considered applying them to these cherished pieces of cinema. I will likely dust these movies off and experience them through this lens. I appreciate you.
After experiencing what one may call The Dark Night of the Soul, for what it feels like the majority of my life, I am beginning to enter into the stage of Illumination and Enlightenment. It is uncanny how the universe is speaking to me through numbers, synchronicities, inspirations, and meeting people such as you, who have provided a guiding light while I navigate this unknown terrain. It is mystical, magical, archetypal, etc. I have recently been thinking that one's Intuition is what is of utmost important here, in guiding one's destiny. Thank you Elson for providing the world community with your wisdom and insight. It is a beacon of light that I have found, while I make my way back to the shore.
Carl Jung talked about synchronicities. You sound like me :) I also use dreams as guides. Are dreams a thing for you, do they help you look deeper? often confirming things?
This is happened/happening to me right now! 2 years filled with disconnection from the world around me, including episodes of utter despair and ideas that life carried no meaning whatsoever; then, almost overnight, after the most intense and profound dream ever, my Self presented to me and gave me a message of guidance. As someone who operated exclusively in the rational/thinking mind and staunchly rejected spiritual or religious ideas, I now am convinced that there is Grand Consciousness Mind or a God or a spiritual world (I’m still seeking my path). Carl Jung’s works have been both integral and inspiring for my journey thus far, and significant synchronicities have been manifesting themselves sporadically yet constantly.
It took me 53 years to realize that I had been sound asleep my entire life. How I could have ruined my life so badly is a real mystery to everyone I know. But, what they don't know is that I wouldn't change a thing and that I am happier than I have ever been right now. And so it is written...
You have become my favorite RUclips channel. I went and watched all your videos after having viewed your analysis on Fight Club and The Matrix. You've also begun within me a serious obsession with Carl Gustav Jung. Thank you
Wow, that's amazing, and really warmed my heart to read. I had the same feeling when one of my teachers introduced me to Carl Jung as well, so it blows my mind that this moment has come full circle. I appreciate you!
I never bring my earphones to bed. But suddenly I had it and was thinking maybe I'll be needing it to play games or listen to music till I realise Omg it's for this vlog. What a lovely surprise whenever seeing a Modern Intuitionist on my notifications. Glad I love making gratitude journal. I love my story. ❤
Wow, this was beautifully done. During the last minute of your conclusion, I actually started crying. 😭 I'm looking foward to part 2. Thank you. 💖✨️💖✨️💖
Amazing insights and perfect utilization of Nolan’s Dark Knight Trilogy, Scriptural teaching, and properly handling Jung’s teaching of the integration of the shadow. Very helpful and succinct
Elson, As always your videos turn up at synchronistic timing with profound deep knowledge to give direction. I was thinking soon as Batman came in, will the pit scene be mentioned and shown as I've been commenting about it on some other RUclipsr videos recently how falling down the pit often gives me the strength to learn from to climb up again to learn from giving me more strength to pursue my direction while also giving me better creative ideas for like songs and comic writting before I fell in which is why I often watch the pit climb scene coming up in spiritual India and the other one I watch one of my favourite movies Shawshank Redemption all the time. That tunnel is many meanings
What a beautiful comment, Mystik Rebel. The Shawshank Redemption is also one of my favourite films, it's an all time classic. I completely agree with you on the tunnel being a powerful symbol that has multiple important meanings. We come through a birth canal (tunnel) when we're born and enter the world. Many accounts of Near Death Experiences also report survivors seeing a tunnel of light. For me, tunnels are portals for transformation that take us from one way of being into another. I appreciate you, as always, my friend!
@@ModernIntuitionist Elson, you definitely should do a video about the symbolism of the tunnel from Shawshank one day cause I know you would do amazing job and it will reach out to many people
This is the most profound video I've ever seen! It is based on the most profound and wonderful movies I've ever seen. Thank you to the author and narrator of this absolutely life-changing
This really helped me tonight ive been crying off and on and ive been feeling weak along with depressed and upset. Its hard talking to someone as a guy because well our feelings dont matter and my friends wouldnt get it. But this video...im glad it showed on my feed❤
This video is the most profound thing I’ve watched. It helped me so much. Thank you so much ❤can’t wait to see more videos to uncover and break negative patterns in my life
🦇 Thanks Elson. Always appreciate your insight and videos. We always live our lives in hindsight and in "memories" that might not always be accurate or that are tainted by our own pessimism. All of our power exists when we live in the present.
I love it when I see you have posted a new video! Another smash hit! Wow, did this come at the perfect time! The themes in this video really resonated with me. I can't wait to share it with my family and friends. You are so good at using movies to illustrate some challenging concepts. Thank YOU! 💖
Wow, thanks so much, Andrea! I also love it when I see a new comment from you, and I'm so grateful for your continued support. Big love to you and your family
I've spent so much of my life trying to keep my shadow stuffed down in the dark, and boy, do I have a long way to go. It seems like, lately, I start making changes, then all my plans seem to get shut down by external forces. More likely it's 'fate', and they're internal forces externalizing themselves, ha ha. I'm not even really sure whether or not I've 'started' sometimes. Other times I feel like I'm well on my way, that I've got enough momentum to carry me all the way through. It's frustrating, but I'm not giving up, because now I understand my life depends on the choices I make next, and if I don't make progress, I'll be doomed to do this all over again. I guess if you don't know where to dig, just pick a spot and start digging, right? Still, I can see the light through the darkness, maybe more clearly than I ever have. It's distant and dim, but it's there. And this time, I think I'm getting closer. Thank you, Elson.
Thank you for the wonderful comment, SpaceGoat. I completely relate to what you've written. You're very-self aware and I think your comment captures very well Jung's thoughts on the shadow. Jung says that integrating the shadow (and the process of individuation) is a life-long journey that is never fully complete. But we move closer to wholeness and become more of who we are, and it's the adventure of a lifetime. I appreciate you, Space Goat. As always big love to you and yours
This was amazing. It proves your point that a story as simple as once comic book character can reflect the human condition and connect us to a greater sense of self. Thank you!
I am grateful for this video and it has given me helpful insight. I 'll share it with my friends and family and I am hopeful they are ready to hear and understand the information. I look forward to the next video. Thank you for a great start to the day!
Thank you creating another wonderful, educational and oh so interesting video. I love it when I get a notice from RUclips that MI posted another new video. I am sharing them with my friends. 💞
Your life story is not about what happened to you, its about how you respond to it Action determine character. Its doesn't matter who you're underneath, its what you do defines you.
Epic video Elson, and such an important topic for all of humanity. Stories really are of vital importance, on the personal level, but also all the way up to the macro level of defining entire cultures. I think this is why stories like the Ramayana still define Indian and Dharmic civilization for billions of people to this day, thousands of years later, and why in modern times stories like Star Wars and Lord of the Rings are so important to many people. The Dark Knight is such an awesome movie, really transcending the superhero genre and my favorite of Nolan's works, and I really liked your take on the Batman vs. Joker dichotomy, and what they represent on a thematic level. It's a very interesting perspective that the big difference between a hero and villain is how they respond to their life traumas, and the story they tell themselves afterwards. Having cared for so many patients with depression and chronic pain, it really does seem like trauma is the underlying cause behind most forms of mental illness, and it really is one of the major factors holding back human civilization, and I think that thus it's a really important civilizational goal to develop systematic and effective ways of healing trauma, and also, as you said, to alchemize it into positive redemption. I really like the way you integrate both psychology and spirituality in your vids, and in a lot of ways I think that much of the purpose of this game of life is for the divine part of you to overcome the darkness of this world, like Batman, rather than adding to the darkness like the Joker. Keep up the awesome work Elson, I think part two is probably going to be even more epic! Also I have to agree with your take on Freud, I always found him a little overrated lolol.
I always love reading your comments, Jonathan, as you know. It's interesting that you bring up the idea of defining entire cultures through story. Because Dr. Dan McAdam's "Redemptive Self" book also explores the cultural story of America is also being one that was founded on the redemption story. It's a pretty good read, if the topic interests you (note: he also devotes a chapter to critiquing the dichotomy of Contamination sequence vs. Redemption sequences and goes through possible criticisms, although I don't find those criticisms to be particularly strong). I also love reading your insights from your time as a physician and caring for patients, and seeing trauma first hand. I agree with you that we desperately need systems for healing trauma since much of it seems to be generational and occurs in cycles. I appreciate you for being a healer of the body, and also the spirit, and an overall force for good in the world. I hope you keep up your amazing work as well, my friend. Take good care
Re the Joker, the absence of brutality is not brutality and therefore, malevolent people should carry on being unceasingly brutal. If my father had chosen to not beat me one time, I wouldn't have been like "well, shit, since you're going to beat me at a later date, you might as well just beat me this time too... " I would've taken the pause and used it to nurse my wounds so I could be more ready for the escape that inevitably followed. Good is good even when it's just evil to taking a break. And most times, that sliver of reprieve is all you need.
Like Bruce Wayne aka the Dark Knight reintroducing himself into the world after some time in seclusion, the Modern Intuitionist returns with another nice one from the shadows- exploring the duality of human psyche and how both dark and light are perpetually intertwined throughout our life experience here. Great video ☯👍
I love your channel. It's so unique and deeply insightful. Its clear you're creating from your authentic self. I resonate so much with how you talk about the self, Carl Yung and shadow work. Please don'r stop making videos.
Wanted to send a "SuperThanks", but was surprised to see that it's not enabled for this channel....then again, maybe not so surprised. This video describes my journey, my recovery, from being quite mentally ill for decades. I was able to change my life in a few short years. This channel was an early part of my recovery. It provided hope and a vision of a better life. For me, it required a lot of professional help and was the most difficult thing I've ever accomplished. It was the best investment I will ever make in my life. It has enabled me to help others. Thank you SO very much Elson for the work you do, these essays you write, the message you broadcast. It changes lives. 🙏🏼 ♥
This video was fantastic. Because it reels me in thinking Ive created a contamination story, but then you come in with redemption story and I become aware of the spiritual and emotional growth Ive achieved over the past few years. I believe in the good things coming. Bless 🙏
Again. A masterpiece. Your work here is piquing my interests about the possibilities of sustained change and thus changing my life. I am feeling greater confidence in my shadow work practice. So much so, that I feel that I can have a relationship with my father again. I'm grateful for you and your choice to do this work.
That was pure magic to watch, and absolutely perfect for the pivotal time we live in. Pedagogy at its finest and so desperately needed. Keep up the good work❤
This is the second video I have watched on your channel so far, I just found your channel today. I am feeling like I need to do shadow work, like I'm being called to go in that direction. Your channel and videos are very helpful. Thank you for doing this.
Gratitude Elson. This is another great video of yours. What a wonderful way to help us visualize concepts using movies. I truly enjoy your magic touch . 🦇
Your reference to evolution being a spiral is exactly right as I see it. It’s the same as any recovery or growth....I think of it as a wheel moving forward. Until a person has truly achieved a thing on the wheel it rolls around again always moving forward regardless...if you stick with it your life will change, transform, with more will, a different perspective, a truer character.
Another amazing video, thanks for all the time and effort you put into these videos. They’ve been a great part of help getting me out of the pit and writing a new story these past 3 years.
Absolutely brilliant., thank you so much for making this video, well done! Another excellent example of why the "Dark Knight" was such a master class in understanding ones self through symbolism.
What a great coincidence. About an hour ago I started to thing if the rules of story telling has something to do with my life. (I have been studying screenplay writing for couple of years.) I have experienced a lot of synchronities for 15 years. This video wasn't coincidence after all. Thanks for sharing it!
I absolutely adore your content. Your videos are beautifully crafted... The music, your narrative voice, deep messages that follow every video. Dark Knight is my favourite movie, and I am amazed of how you managed to deliver its messages so profoundly. Keep doing the fantastic work you are doing and please post more often ❤
What if there were more content creators like Modern Intuitionist on YT instead of all the click baty crap that's a minute and a half. I really wish there were more content like this where you can really sink in deeply and feel inspired and curious. Can't wait for the next episode.
Thanks so much, Mikael! I pour my heart and soul into each one, so it's incredibly rewarding to see wonderful people like you resonating with what I'm doing. I appreciate you, my friend
Thanks so much, Sukhwinder. I have experienced heartbreak. It's incredible painful. Healing from it is a difficult journey and feels like a kind of death (because in many ways it is), and we have to grieve the loss of that person as well as the future we imagined with them. I haven't sat down and consolidated all my thoughts on this (usually I find writing about my experiences to really help process them). But here are some initial thoughts on how I dealt with mine and you can take whatever works for you: 1. Is the relationship really over? Is there a way to make amends or to forgive so that relationship survives? Is that something you both want? Only you can answer this question. 2. If the relationship really is over: I've found it easiest to heal by not having anymore contact. I let her know what she meant to me and I wish her well, but during the healing process we can't be what we were to each other anymore. Love is wanting what's best for that loved person, even if it means a painful separation from them. There's a part of me that will never forget the times we had; they remain a part of me always. So for every relationship I've had, whether it works out or not, I do feel that the experience was 'meant' for me. This person was an intimate part of my life, and I've learned things that would've been impossible to know otherwise. 3. Take care of yourself. As much as you can, try to eat well, try to get enough sleep, and do some kind of exercise that you find fun/enjoyable. Easier said than done when you're going through heartbreak. As I mentioned earlier, I process a lot of my experiences by writing about them. Journaling is a big part of this. But you should also reach out to people in your circle: family and friends who can give you support. Depending on where you live there may also be free counselling resources that can help you process what you're going through. Everyone goes through heartbreak in their own way, but I promise you it will get better. The human heart is incredibly resilient and strong, and so are you. Big love to you and yours my friend. My best wishes to you as you navigate your healing journey.
Wow, thanks so much, Andrea! Your ongoing support for what I'm doing really means the world to me. Deep love and appreciation to you too my friend. 🌻 I hope everything is wonderful in your world
Fantastic idea and execution...a great video 1st one that i saw in this chanel and i'msubscribing and will go and see what else is going on in your previous videos🔥✌
This is great work, sir! Ever since I learned about Jung.. archetypes, synchronicity, etc, etc.. I started paying attention to movies in a different way. One that I'm curious is about is The Neverending Story.. it seems like it's rich with symbols and meaning. It would be awesome if you analyzed it! Anyway, I just wanted to comment and encourage you to keep up the great work.
Damn, man. That was deep and meaningful. I am a huge fan of the Nolan Batman Trilogies, and a psychology enthusiast, but I never thought someone would so eloquently connect these themes and explain them in such a profound manner.

I think this is why stories like the Ramayana still define Indian and Dharmic civilization for billions of people to this day, thousands of years later, and why in modern times stories like Star Wars and Lord of the Rings are so important to many people. The Dark Knight is such an awesome movie, really transcending the superhero genre and my favorite of Nolan's works, and I really liked your take on the Batman vs. Joker dichotomy, and what they represent on a thematic level. It's a very interesting perspective that the big difference between a hero and villain is how they respond to their life traumas, and the story they tell themselves afterwards. Having cared for so many patients with depression and chronic pain, it really does seem like trauma is the underlying cause behind most forms of mental illness, and it really is one of the major factors holding back human civilization, and I think that thus it's a really important civilizational goal to develop systematic and effective ways of healing trauma, and also, as you said, to alchemize it into positive redemption. I really like the way you integrate both psychology and spirituality in your vids, and in a lot of ways I think that much of the purpose of this game of life is for the divine part of you to overcome the darkness of this world, like Batman, rather than adding to the darkness like the Joker. Keep up the awesome work Elson, I think part two is probably going to be even more epic! Also I have to agree with your take on Freud, I always found him a little overrated lolol.
I always love reading your comments, Jonathan, as you know. It's interesting that you bring up the idea of defining entire cultures through story. Because Dr. Dan McAdam's "Redemptive Self" book also explores the cultural story of America is also being one that was founded on the redemption story. It's a pretty good read, if the topic interests you (note: he also devotes a chapter to critiquing the dichotomy of Contamination sequence vs. Redemption sequences and goes through possible criticisms, although I don't find those criticisms to be particularly strong).
I also love reading your insights from your time as a physician and caring for patients, and seeing trauma first hand. I agree with you that we desperately need systems for healing trauma since much of it seems to be generational and occurs in cycles. I appreciate you for being a healer of the body, and also the spirit, and an overall force for good in the world. I hope you keep up your amazing work as well, my friend. Take good care
Re the Joker, the absence of brutality is not brutality and therefore, malevolent people should carry on being unceasingly brutal. If my father had chosen to not beat me one time, I wouldn't have been like "well, shit, since you're going to beat me at a later date, you might as well just beat me this time too... " I would've taken the pause and used it to nurse my wounds so I could be more ready for the escape that inevitably followed. Good is good even when it's just evil to taking a break. And most times, that sliver of reprieve is all you need.
Amazing content! Its the first vídeo I’ve seen and already became a member! Thank you so much for becoming the diference in this world ❤
You spoke to my heart directly. With deep gratitude and tears in my eyes 🙏
Like Bruce Wayne aka the Dark Knight reintroducing himself into the world after some time in seclusion, the Modern Intuitionist returns with another nice one from the shadows- exploring the duality of human psyche and how both dark and light are perpetually intertwined throughout our life experience here. Great video ☯👍
I love your channel. It's so unique and deeply insightful. Its clear you're creating from your authentic self. I resonate so much with how you talk about the self, Carl Yung and shadow work. Please don'r stop making videos.
Another deep and inspirational video! Amazing work Modern Intuitionist - thank you! 👊👌🙏
Thanks so much, my friend! I really appreciate your continued support, and I hope everything is wonderful in your world
Wanted to send a "SuperThanks", but was surprised to see that it's not enabled for this channel....then again, maybe not so surprised.
This video describes my journey, my recovery, from being quite mentally ill for decades. I was able to change my life in a few short years. This channel was an early part of my recovery. It provided hope and a vision of a better life. For me, it required a lot of professional help and was the most difficult thing I've ever accomplished. It was the best investment I will ever make in my life. It has enabled me to help others.
Thank you SO very much Elson for the work you do, these essays you write, the message you broadcast. It changes lives. 🙏🏼 ♥
This is by far the best motivational video on youtube
This video was fantastic. Because it reels me in thinking Ive created a contamination story, but then you come in with redemption story and I become aware of the spiritual and emotional growth Ive achieved over the past few years. I believe in the good things coming. Bless 🙏
Right on, I truly appreciate seeing this message now
Again. A masterpiece. Your work here is piquing my interests about the possibilities of sustained change and thus changing my life. I am feeling greater confidence in my shadow work practice. So much so, that I feel that I can have a relationship with my father again. I'm grateful for you and your choice to do this work.
That was pure magic to watch, and absolutely perfect for the pivotal time we live in. Pedagogy at its finest and so desperately needed. Keep up the good work❤
This really warmed my heart to read. Thanks so much, my friend. Big love to you and yours!
Eye opening yet so profoundly expressed!! So many masterpieces the mind overlooks or should I say has yet to understand
This is the second video I have watched on your channel so far, I just found your channel today. I am feeling like I need to do shadow work, like I'm being called to go in that direction. Your channel and videos are very helpful. Thank you for doing this.
Gratitude Elson. This is another great video of yours. What a wonderful way to help us visualize concepts using movies. I truly enjoy your magic touch . 🦇
So much gratitude to you too, SpiriTea. Thanks so much for being part of my journey and letting me be a part of yours. I appreciate you
Another brilliant video Elson. Thank you. Looking in that mirror, noticing our shadow, and removing the mask is so necessary for our souls. 🦇
0:20 I was totally picking my nose. 😶😂
😂
Your reference to evolution being a spiral is exactly right as I see it. It’s the same as any recovery or growth....I think of it as a wheel moving forward. Until a person has truly achieved a thing on the wheel it rolls around again always moving forward regardless...if you stick with it your life will change, transform, with more will, a different perspective, a truer character.
Thank you so much for making and sharing this video with us!! .. I needed this!! God bless you!!🙏😇🙏
God bless you too, my friend. Thank you!
@ModernIntuitionist Thank you, Brother!!🙏😇🙏

What a beautifully crafted and narrated, inspirational essay on such an important topic.
Thank you ❤
Just beautiful! Thank You
Thanks so much, Denise! I appreciate you!
Absolutely brilliant., thank you so much for making this video, well done! Another excellent example of why the "Dark Knight" was such a master class in understanding ones self through symbolism.

What a great coincidence. About an hour ago I started to thing if the rules of story telling has something to do with my life. (I have been studying screenplay writing for couple of years.)

This is a very important message more people need to be told.
What if there were more content creators like Modern Intuitionist on YT instead of all the click baty crap that's a minute and a half. I really wish there were more content like this where you can really sink in deeply and feel inspired and curious. Can't wait for the next episode.
Thanks so much, Mikael! I pour my heart and soul into each one, so it's incredibly rewarding to see wonderful people like you resonating with what I'm doing. I appreciate you, my friend
Very glad you’re back, Elson!
Do you have any advice on heart break and how to understand if that situation was meant for you or not?
Thanks so much, Sukhwinder. I have experienced heartbreak. It's incredible painful. Healing from it is a difficult journey and feels like a kind of death (because in many ways it is), and we have to grieve the loss of that person as well as the future we imagined with them.
I haven't sat down and consolidated all my thoughts on this (usually I find writing about my experiences to really help process them). But here are some initial thoughts on how I dealt with mine and you can take whatever works for you:
1. Is the relationship really over? Is there a way to make amends or to forgive so that relationship survives? Is that something you both want? Only you can answer this question.
2. If the relationship really is over: I've found it easiest to heal by not having anymore contact. I let her know what she meant to me and I wish her well, but during the healing process we can't be what we were to each other anymore. Love is wanting what's best for that loved person, even if it means a painful separation from them.
There's a part of me that will never forget the times we had; they remain a part of me always. So for every relationship I've had, whether it works out or not, I do feel that the experience was 'meant' for me. This person was an intimate part of my life, and I've learned things that would've been impossible to know otherwise.
3. Take care of yourself. As much as you can, try to eat well, try to get enough sleep, and do some kind of exercise that you find fun/enjoyable. Easier said than done when you're going through heartbreak. As I mentioned earlier, I process a lot of my experiences by writing about them. Journaling is a big part of this. But you should also reach out to people in your circle: family and friends who can give you support. Depending on where you live there may also be free counselling resources that can help you process what you're going through. Everyone goes through heartbreak in their own way, but I promise you it will get better. The human heart is incredibly resilient and strong, and so are you.
Big love to you and yours my friend. My best wishes to you as you navigate your healing journey.
Incredible video - thanks Elson!

Wow thank you for a very powerful and moving video! Are you my friend are a great spiritual teacher! And once again thank you
This is great work, sir! Ever since I learned about Jung.. archetypes, synchronicity, etc, etc.. I started paying attention to movies in a different way. One that I'm curious is about is The Neverending Story.. it seems like it's rich with symbols and meaning. It would be awesome if you analyzed it!
Anyway, I just wanted to comment and encourage you to keep up the great work.
Amazing content. Thanks.
Thanks so much, Rodrigo! I appreciate you
Wow I needed this! How this reached me one time.
