Anima and Animus - Eternal Partners from the Unconscious
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 июл 2024
- The anima and animus are two contrasexual archetypes crucial for individuation and to progress towards the Self in Carl Jung’s analytical psychology, they are the archetype of life and archetype of meaning, respectively.
The anima is the personification of all female psychological tendencies in man, while the animus is the personification of all male psychological tendencies in woman. They form part of the collective unconscious, as archetypes or collectively inherited patterns of behaviour, which are autonomous, making them particularly difficult to integrate into one’s personality.
The integration of the shadow, or the realisation of the personal unconscious, marks the first stage in Jungian psychology. Without it, a recognition of anima and animus is impossible. Shadow integration is the ‘apprentice-piece’, while the anima or animus is the ‘master-piece’.

22. Jesus saw some babies nursing. He said to his disciples, "These nursing babies are like those who enter the (Father's) kingdom." They said to him, "Then shall we enter the (Father's) kingdom as babies?" Jesus said to them, "When you make the two into one, and when you make the inner like the outer and the outer like the inner, and the upper like the lower, and when you make male and female into a single one, so that the male will not be male nor the female be female, when you make eyes in place of an eye, a hand in place of a hand, a foot in place of a foot, an image in place of an image, then you will enter [the kingdom]."

The children a woman bears resemble the man who loves her. If her husband loves her, then they resemble her husband. If it is an adulterer, then they resemble the adulterer. Frequently, if a woman sleeps with her husband out of necessity, while her heart is with the adulterer with whim she usually has intercourse, the child she will bear is born resembling the adulterer. Now you who live together with the Son of God, love not the world, but love the Lord, in order that those you will bring forth may not resemble the world, but may resemble the Lord.

114. Simon Peter said to them, "Make Mary leave us, for females don't deserve life." Jesus said, "Look, I will guide her to make her male, so that she too may become a living spirit resembling you males. For every female who makes herself male will enter the kingdom of Heaven."
5:42 The anima is the archetype of life and when it is negative, the impulse is to dream about life and to make wishful fantasies about life, instead of living life. It is as if a vampire is sucking one’s blood, the blood being our life activity. Such people sink into passivity, feel constantly tired and do not want to do anything, one wakes up depressed and nothing means anything.
Thank you for this. I have been feeling quite lifeless recently.
Me too. Greetings Dingwall-Scotland 🧡
Where r u on the globe? Want to meet for an intelligent conversation?
But how to overcome?
@@1GreatLake this is exactly what I was going to comment.
@@1GreatLake ok. I have watched the video 3 times. The solution is, you have to integrate your shadow (unconscious) with your conscious mind. If you are a male then your anima is part of your shadow. If you are a female then animus is part of your shadow. Integrate your anima/ animus to your conscious mind and become whole. How to become whole.? As carl jung explained "through the process of individuation", you can become whole. You must integrate your unconscious mind with your conscious mind or in other words, you have to bring your unconscious (shadow) to the conscious.
A key thing to remember about the archetypes is they are a symbol of wholeness, and have positive and negative qualities associated to them.
FACTS
I would think wholeness has its very own symbolism and reverence. Same thing you said but with no duality in the eternal entity.
@@matthewmontano9695 You can't symbolize it because it's all? idk, some call it god
@@moldycarrot9267 Good Moldy, you see where im going. It does become unseen, but what Ralph Waldo Emerson described in his writting on nature it leaves an intrinsic impression.
Either We have the idea of God, or the idea of God has us.
@@matthewmontano9695 I always thought that the Anima/Animus was not about God, but the unconscious, ignored opposite side of our Male/Female side of our gender Persona, per Carl Jung.
Jung is a revered Psychoanalyst from the 20th Century. Not a Priest!
Jung was unbelievably complicated and so often misunderstood! It is great that we can explore the depths he presents to us in more detail.
@Arid Sohan assuming of course that you understood his theories. Which if you're even remotely familiar with hermeticism, theurgical practice, or kabbalah, you'll see how you don't even possess the mental tools to critique his thought.
@Arid Sohan Ah, you're a rationalist/materialist. Empiricism which Science is predicated on is simply the observation of phenomena through the human senses and their collation in data and analysis/interpretation. Psychological phenomena are not reducible to biological processes and somehow divorced from phenomena as human beings experience it. You are making an unnecessary distinction between was is appropriately scientific study and what is not. Air has a molecular breakdown from a hard science perspective--but what is wind? It is an invisible force rather than a cluster of atoms and molecules, no less destructive despite its invisible nature.
@Arid Sohan He was sceptical empirist all his life, educate yourself
@Arid Sohan not at all, a huge amount of his work has universal value, the problem is most people are too shallow, unconscious or thick to grasp his concepts. And by the look of your comments you have a closed and narrow field of view. But you are here watching this, which means you are curious. Mmm 🤔
@Arid Sohan Arid, you are young and I do wish you well, and maybe in time you will learn of the intricate "mental masturbation" and gymnastics along with the heightened egos that Academia is rife with. Trust me, I know. There is tremendous prejudice and countless presuppositions from Academia. Why is the outdated sexual theory of Freud's accepted, reducing all psychic activity to sexual fantasy? Simply because it fits in with Academia's reliance on materialist/immanentist/secular assumptions. Anything that takes the immaterial seriously and questions the Intellectual assumptions of scholars will be considered dangerous. And I don't disagree with them with regard to danger. There is more to life than we can capture in our philosophies and theories and systems. I wish you well.
Shadow work is so so important.
Looking in the mirror of the soul and holding yourself while working on self is such a beautiful form of self love
I'm not sure if you'll see this, but in case you do:
I've been silently watching most of your recent videos, and Sir, please accept a humble thanks. You've done priceless work for free in order to open my eyes so I could find my peace in the world. Thank you.

Why Nietzsche Value Tragedy So much.
Must be his vibe.
@@SQUIDBEARSTUDIO interesting. From my personal experience, tragedy carries.
@@SQUIDBEARSTUDIO also tragedy feels like truth.
the discussion on anima hit close to home.
my mother and i had always had a difficult relationship, with the last year or so being the most challenging and resulted in me choosing to no longer stay in contact with her. i grew up without a father and had to take the brunt of her volatile behavior, was filling me with uncertainty and a depressive outlook on the world; irritable towards other and insecure with myself (i’ve gotten much better on the insecurity, still have some trouble with the others). we constantly fought and it felt like i was never able to fully express myself to her or have a healthy relationship with her, specifically due to her choosing her romantic interests over me. this caused me to retreat into my psyche and create worlds for myself to explore so that i wouldn’t have to face this reality, as well as get into reading philosophy and studying psychology + comparative politics at university to study systems and theory as well as have an understanding of the human mind. nowadays i’m an extremely private and introverted individual, with my inner world always functioning.
reading through other comments, it’s bizarre how many other people who experienced similar situations have the same mental outcomes from a negative mother-child relationship. for me personally, detaching myself from her was the best decision i could’ve made and not having either parent in my life has only brought me peace and feels like the beginning of a new era in my life; truly like reaching the top of a mountain and gazing upon the scenery of the world. i’m not sure if anyone else has gone through this situation and has felt the same way, but my main point is that you don’t have to let your past define your present. i feel like a new being and more free than ever before after letting go of the negativity that had plagued my life for so long.
these videos are so thought provoking, love that i get to spend my nights watching these and ponder on the concepts of human reality + philosophy.
edits: any language that portrayed that i was saying these experiences are only experienced by males and/or sons; more gender-neutral language- this experience is not confined to males and/or sons exclusively; while most (if not all) Jungian psychology is based of the concept of binaries and dichotomies, my perception of these “energies” is that the archetypes presented in much of Jungian psychology are much more an attempt to classify the conscious and unconscious into 2 opposing ends of a tug-of-war between energies that exist within all of us, rather than categorize them between innate characteristics of males/men and/or females/women.
Is it possible to dislike the image of your anima. That it hurt you and now your bitter towards a part of yourself?
This is also my exact situation right now
@@21belgam honestly that’s a concept i never considered- if you don’t mind could you elaborate on that ideal (either from personal experience or just general observations)?
@@21belgam just a honest question...do you understand why it hxrt you? Or at least aware of how it built up to it hurting you? No judgement, just an honest question
@@heu_hei6974 why sure, because someone has to draw the short straw.
Reading Jung for myself and then getting to watching your videos is truly a treat
Reading is like thinking with another person’s head.
What I see in the front of my eyes is what is going on inside my head
this is pretty fantastic content. had never seen the Jungian philosophy or understanding of things fleshed out in an essentially logical but still kind of fantastic/mystical way.
it sounds like Jung laid out a fairly specific path towards the goal of individuation, but nobody seems to use or teach that as a "system" of any kind.
De Dao to individuate is to be alone with my self by my self because every man is his own star.
@@satnamo fantastic observation and communication!
Maps of Meaning draws it out like a whole system. A dense work but firm foundation for systemic study of Jung's (and others) work, tied to modern neuroscience. Maps of Meaning is a somewhat older work, but Iain McGilchrist's books back up all the conjecture from a decade ago and then some.
There are as many paths as there are people. And each path has different perspectives. So only you can answer your own question. It can be as positive or negative as you want. Eventually you realize it's both, and neither, at the same time.
That's because they can't understand him. But, if you study his work, you can develop your own system to use his findings. For example, you can learn to reconcile the shadows by doing some of the things that he recommended.
I get the impression that maybe our "Creativity" is extremely important for us all.
Water to douse the fire, fire to boil the water.
"Escaping into the realm of philosophy," is a struggle I'm up against daily.
Recently I started to compare men to Robocop and women to The Terminator. A man: rugged and armored on the outside, soft human flesh on the inside. A woman: soft flesh on the outside, titanium endoskeleton on the inside. If you seen how a gentle kind and good-natured woman can be absolutely ruthless you'll know what I'm talking about
Sir consider this stolen
Quit whining
I think this applies to both men and women, possibly in relation to astrology; the Cancerian has the hard exo-skeleton but is soft in the middle and the opposite sign of Capricorn is more like the Terminator. Interesting observation that you make and maybe there are other combinations of sensitivity and resilience that exist kind of like the chakra structure?
I can see this in the dynamic between me and my partner. On the exterior he takes on the role of the hard, rugged and tough one but once exposed to him more intimately you can see the soft nature deep within and this is the opposite for me lol. I come off as gentle as possible, very docile and I try not to be combative but there's a stubborn rigid core within. My partner has described me as heartless or ruthless when I've acted out in ways that for me were meant to protect myself and that is the only time that side in me is fully shown.
BoF💪🏾
EXCELLENT summary/explanation of the Anima/Animus archetypes!!!!
For people that would like to learn more about the Anima/Animus, there are two very good books:
1) "The Invisible Partners; How the Male and Female in each of Us Affects our Relationships" by John A. Sanford
2) "Animus and Anima, Two Essays" by Emma Jung
thanks
This is gold. Your understanding of philosophy and psychology is unique. Lectures and videos are truly remarkable . Thank you.
Thanks for the breakdown, I've struggled with this concept in the past
Without light,
There is no shadow.
Without knowledge,
There is no meditation.
He who has knowledge and meditation is near unto nirvana-
that blessed state of heavenly calm obtained by expiation
A poetic interpretation-
If I feel my mother’s eyes,
Burn into my brain,
The pain and fear and loathing,
Comes back again, again...
But if I look through her eyes,
While knowing that I’m me,
How much power is there,
To set this person free...
Remembered fear and pain,
Of the one we need to love,
From the womb to adolescence,
Disconnected push and shove...
In the shadow of awareness,
We find the archetypal entity,
Subtle twists of the subconscious,
Opposing sexuality...
The stranger in the shadows,
Seeks oneness with what we are,
Can we walk as one together?
Or do we fight to be apart?
Can our psyche host a twin?
A mirrored version of ourselves?
In perfect opposition,
Can the mind’s unconscious meld?
Created in our own image,
The anima and animus,
In conflict is damnation,
In acceptance finding peace...
This is really good. Surprised no one commented on this yet..
This is so beautiful
Holy crap
Beautiful piece of literature
Wha wha wha what was that? Beautiful!
I just saw the upload date of this video... last Monday (three days after this video was uploaded) I felt the need to gather more insights into my own anima situation so at the start of my workday I put in my earplugs and searched for a video about the anima; this was the first video I found. it told me exactly what I needed to know and I had to put it on repeat. My entire workday I listened to nothing else but this video. the in the evening I received a message from a friend of mine who is very similar to me in many ways who out of nowhere asked me about a dream I had a couple of years ago in which I believe I saw my anima. We started talking and sharing and comparing insights and made a great deal of progress as a result.
So thank you for this video. it has already been of great value for me!
I'm writing a graphic novel with dream/unconscious related stuff and your channel is just so usefull !
Look up “The Incal” and you’ll enjoy it.
@@mattbradshaw7007 man has enjoyed himself too little-
That is the original sin, my friends !
ruclips.net/video/TwQ1W6K_yds/видео.html
Good luck with your manuscript. If this is your debut novel, I recommend query tracker as the primary method to reaching out to agents/traditional publishing.
@@Justpassingby204 thx for the advice
Also been drawing to expand on my story, keep it up!
A key takeaway I've absorbed from this is to have balance and recognise the imbalances and use it to the best of our abilities...To tap into each duality even with shadow sides and upsides to reveal the trueness of our life path...
6:40 - "Boys with mommy issues tend to be bitchless philosophers" ngl this kinda true tho
lmao yeah
Fuckin describese to a T
My favorite video of yours yet. Very well synthesized and extrapolated
I feel like the universe is showing me things.. this is weird man I'm not even taking drugs.
you are becoming aware. You are growing
I am tho lol😅
That's why we should stay tuned to God cause life can be tricky! Stay blessed
Thank you for making this. I stumbled upon this by chance and its exactly what I needed.
My therapist introduced me to a book that covers this and love called “We: the psychology of romantic love”. I highly recommend this. It compares this concept to a myth and it’s works beautifully.
Having recently read Jing’s autobiography, I was impressed by his dedication and insight. I drew many parallels in his thinking and my own, introspective and searching for practical answers to being at odds with the world and its contents. Jung is the first psychologist (or philosopher) to answer these questions for me and is work has become extremely valuable. He has helped me to also accept religious philosophies although I endeavour to remain independent of any one doctrine thus far. It’s been suggested to me that one can best return to one’s origin for religious systems and follow a spiral ascent following. Much more to learn, but Jung’s work will be a foundation as it aligns with other therapeutic methods I’ve discovered with the “inner child” as well. Thank you for this content.
I love a good enema
ha ha ha, I couldn't help but laugh at the narrator's dangerously close pronunciation of anima throughout the video...
I've spent a few weeks scouring RUclips, the internet, and bookstores for help in beginning shadow work, etc and this channel is easily where I've found the most depth and clarity. Thank you so much for creating such a wonderful channel. 💗
Jordan Thornton has a great channel on shadow work for begginers. Worth a nose
Jung gives us all the information we need to heal ourselves and achieve amazing success stories in our lives.
This channel has become my home away from home. Your videos are incredibly educational and the information itself, along with the presentations and delivery of this amazing content, is absolutely invaluable. I so happened to stumble on this channel in a time where I'm also trying to discover my own life's true meaning and purpose -- and in a period where our world is in dire need of true healing -- and this couldn't have been more timely. Thank you for these videos and please make more.
You are fantastic at conveying these ideas! Thank you!
These videos are incredible. Thank you for putting so much work into these… I really enjoy them!
This was so mind blowing and eye opening as to why people act and do the things they do. Beautiful deep psychological knowledge right here. 🙏🏻
Not really lol jung was a medically insane pseudoscientist, but his work is interesting. Wouldn't say it's true though, take this all with a grain of a grain of salt.
We humans have an incredible ability to construct in our imaginations elaborate concepts and then project them out on to the world, and our current relationship with the natural world is a devastating.
Dominated by the animus id wager
I'm writing a novel with the premise of "levels of VR" where man creates a VR world, like the metaverse, we ruin our own reality and escape into it and become stuck there only for us to create a deeper level of VR inside for us to escape to once we've ruined that "reality" as well. Thanks to your video I feel I can better tackle that with the understanding of the anima and animus with the ideas of spirituality and understanding being what elevates the characters to "rise".
so u actually writing a documentary
If you write the way you wrote the first sentence of your message (almost unintelligible), you better review the way you write 😉
I love your channel, the content is always amazing. Thanks for giving us these videos
I recently finally loved the woman in me, I feel like while watching this that all along I had this Animus trying to tell me that I could be strong and beautiful without being something I'm not ❤ I have a wonderful woman in me that wants to be a woman but I'm a tomboy and I don't like to be seen as a woman lol but I now here this voice in my head telling me to be how I want to be and that I don't have to be a weak woman who relies on people but I can be both the protector and the protected ❤
Find both sides of yourself and love them both because they both want you to live 💕
I cannot express my gratitude enough. Thank you thank you thank you!! This video and the message therein hit me like a truck. I needed to hear this. I can’t explain how Jung became so wise, but he described me in this video without having met me. Thank you again
This channel deserves way more viewers. Keep up the great videos.
Your channel is amazing in many levels. Your voice, artwork pick, soundtrack, the whole vibe is just original and fresh. Yet, you are not one of those modern pop-science or, God forbid, pop-spiritual channels that manages to drag down everything deep and turn it into a mediocre sensation. Good luck with these vids, we need them.
Couldnt have said it better.
My head is blown :O I really appreciate this video, thank you very much. Keep up the good work
Do your work;
And I will know what you are made of.
Very insightful. I am grateful to have been lead to this channel. Look forward to listening to the rest of your work friend.
THIS IS the video I was looking for. Thanks a lot!
Such great content, this video moved so many gears in my mind, even tho i didnt fully understand it
Very enlightening! The art chosen is exceptionally beautiful as well.
This video helped me understand this topic more than many books and other videos - thank you so much for sharing.
This is one of the most Apt and well summarized video on the Anima/Animus I have ever seen, amazing work sir
so becoming concious of my animus and gathering self knowledge caused me at least one psychosis, awesome video though and right on time, sending lots of love❤️🔥
Thank you for your beautiful presentations on these complex ideas.
This is so nourishing to the mind I absolutely love these videos.
I have a literature assignment where I have to analyze a story by Jung's theories and this came to me just in time, thank you for posting!
He didn't post it because you had to analyse some Jung's theory
Hermano realmente lo que pasó con tu canal y yo, es mera sincronicidad. Muchas gracias, me llena el alma tu trabajo. 🤍
The content's good, but what would improve these videos are longer pauses, especially for paragraph breaks.
If you listen to any great narrator (analyse a Robert Hughes art documentary, say), the secret to their speech being so pleasant to listen to and digestible are the silences.
Verbal punctuation is important. If Audio editing results in one giant paragraph with no spaces for breath, it becomes as hard to listen to as an unbroken slab of text is to read.
press space bar for pause
I agree, yet once someone who has vast knowledge gets on a roll, they cannot stop, or pause for fear of losing momentum..or so it seems. This is the reason I download videos.
Better mic
Like they rushing . Can't stand that
@@pablo-939 if you haven't read the book the narrator is referencing here, you wouldn't even know _where_ to pause lol.
What good video man! Is very interesting and helpful, hope to keep seeing your videos in the future
Once again, brilliant. Thank you!!
The example of a sea captain going down with his ship at about the 9:20 mark as part of a dark relationship to the Animus; is grossly misplaced. I was in the US Navy and while on watch I lost the clip to my handgun. Under Article 108 of the UCMJ the captain took 300 dollars from my pay and sent me to three days in the lockup. Besides this obvious loss on my part he did not mince words telling me how serious Property loss was to the Navy. I can't fathom what they would do to a Captain returning without his ship. My lost clip was worth about 30 dollars a lost ship is worth millions.
I get what you're talking about, when put into financial terms, this is really apples and oranges. But it might be a mistake to look at it in financial terms, as it's not really about money, but about what the ship symbolises in the relationship of you to your own Self. Try not to think about the money part, because when we die, money no longer matters, but this stuff will matter well beyond after our death. Thank you for your service to our country.
I felt this on a spiritual level. Wish more people understood this
Your channel is crazy good, one off if not the most interesting on youtube.
Great video to start my day. Keep up the great work, your content has been a tremendous help in my growth.
This one time my step dad saw me on the internet because I guess that's all I did.. he asked me what I was looking for.. I honestly didn't know. This video is the answer to that question.. drifting into philosophy to escape my mother..
Hands down the best video series explaining Jungian psychoanalysis!
I do the same via the unconscious archetypes via the "MBTI" system which is a basic, watered-down and highly misunderstood inspiration from Jungs extremely complex work. However, I complicate things too much so it's nice seeing someone who can concisely portray information and remain objective on the subject :)
Good Work!
This was freaking awesome.. I'm glad I watched this video.. Thanks a lot 💋
This was amazing. Thank you for sharing. Time to meet my animus. Blessed be!
21:07: When I decided to take Shadow work journey on a deeper level, I had a dream in which Shadow WARNED me. "She" said she would silently destroy all the relationships that I have. I remembered I told her (in my dream) that I would be patient, very patiently observing her. She won't be able to compare with me in terms of calmness and patience. When I woke up I realized "they" hated being observed, investigated, analyzed, hated being brought to light and that made me even more determined in this journey.
I have tried to start Shadow work but never really understood how to go about it? How do you do it ? Please ,any help , any guidance , would be welcome
@@she_wizzdom4410 Hello, I've taken a few days to think about my response to you because I want to provide the most truthful and comprehensive answer I can. I have been engaging in shadow work through 3 tools:
1. Tracking moments when I lose control (Triggers journal).
2. Paying attention to the characteristics of people I dislike, find annoying, or feel aversion towards (they may be projecting my own shadows).
3. Keeping a dream diary as much as possible.
Numbers 1 and 2 are how I work to outline the behaviors of my shadows, while number 3 is how I identify their portraits in my unconscious mind.
Within this, I believe the dream journal is an incredibly useful and valuable tool in identifying and engaging with the shadows.
Some formulas I use when analyzing dreams:
- ALL the characters appearing in a dream will only reflect different aspects of ourselves. Our shadows often appear as a fearful, fierce, or dangerous character (usually the same gender as ourselves).
- Pay attention to your emotions in the dream. Remember and take note the words exchanged by the characters.
- If you like, you can actively engage in imaginative exercises to interact with the characters. Sometimes they will send you messages back (as in my previous comment).
Muchas gracias por el subtítulos en Español. Te envió un abrazo fraternal lleno de luz!
Thanks for your excellent content...keep up the good work!
Thank you for this content!! Well done much gratitude ❤❤💛💛💚💚
So SPOT on perfect timing again your videos are incredible THANK YOU shared your video with this comment .. In my readings, currently, i really bring this up and go deep in your shadows Psyche Mother/Father Sun/Moon Mars/Venus Solstice/Equinox Know thy Cross.. For a man MOON/VENUS is your unconscious feminine side, your AnimA and for a Woman SUN/MARS is your unconscious masculine, your AnimUs... The anima and animus are described in Carl Jung's school of analytical psychology as part of his theory of the collective unconscious. Jung described the animus as the unconscious masculine side of a woman, and the anima as the unconscious feminine side of a man, each transcending the personal psyche.
And now it makes total sense to me why in Final Fantasy X, Seymour's summon "Anima" is his mother, and looks the way it does...
Holy Shit!!! This spoke to me like no other video on the channel, it was defining my life so far. This is the harsh reality. But I’ve been becoming more and more aware of it which is a step in the right direction. My God, I thank you for this content
This is amazing. Life has got so much easier and better since I discovered the duality of life and started looking into these masculine/feminine principles. You can learn so much about yourself just by looking objectively at your life in this context. Thanks for the great content!
So funny to me, because as a child and teen, I'd draw my self portrait as both masculine and feminine, although I've felt mostly feminine in my life. I do sympathize with man many times, and get along with them, so it's kinda interesting to hear we are all trying to marry these parts of ourselves together, and I wasn't so odd afterall.
@5:19 was like a slap to the face.
I had a terrible relationship with my parents as a child. Distant father, overbearing mother. I have repeated those themes Jung quotes to myself for many years. I hope I can work through it all and make sense of it to a healthy resolution one day. I’m trying but I feel so lost and don’t know where to start.
"Don't know where to start." My advice? Start. People interested in things like the content in this video often feel the need to "know" before they dive into their fears and anxieties, to grab ahold of life. However, illuminating wisdom often only comes to you once you start the journey.
@@noahhysi8622 I don’t think you understand that I don’t know where or HOW to start. I have literally no idea what I’m doing. It’s like putting a toddler in a car and expecting them to know how to drive. They wouldn’t even know how to start it. I’m autistic and reality overwhelms me constantly. I simply don’t know what to do. Telling me to just start is awful advice. Might as well be telling a fish to “just try” to climb a tree.
Maybe it was a little too vague. Nobody can clearly understand their direction, but you can begin by starting with the things you know you're doing wrong, and giving yourself the structure necessary to have a stable life. Picking apart your own psychology often leaves people paralyzed, and it gives them the false idea that once they fix everything "internally," they'll be ready to step out into life. The reality is that things evolve and change once you start acting out a plan even if you're anxious or scared and don't know what the future looks like. You also appear to have some really limiting beliefs about yourself and your abilities, comparing getting your life going to a fish climbing a tree. This is what overthinking about oneself does. It stops becoming that this or that is an obstacle, and starts becoming, "my mind is an obstacle, and I have to resolve all of this negativity and fear and then begin." This won't work - it's neurosis. Stable people have external responsibilities and aren't obsessed with their internal state or "resolving" anything. I hope that's a little clearer.@@chronic_daydreamer
I was once locked in a state of paralyzing anxiety and depression for upwards of three years. I could feel my own thoughts destroying me from the inside out. I wasted so much time doing nothing, and it was insane. There were many reasons I could blame my state on my environment or childhood, but instead of doing all I could to suppress the fear of life and get rid of anxiety, instead of thinking and thinking about my trauma and my mind and my complexes, I gave myself direction for my outer life and tried little things. It turns out that directly trying to rid yourself of your demons will make them worse - you have to confront them. Just running a little every day, or cooking, or reading, or taking care of a little part of your responsibilities, it takes you out of the mental stupor.@@chronic_daydreamer
@@noahhysi8622 Yeah, that’s a little clearer. I guess maybe I am doing more than I think I am, then. I just feel like my efforts meet with little results, or the waiting game is endless. It’s hard to know what to start and stick with to see results. It feels like I rarely get anywhere. Responsibility terrifies me. I’m always messing things up because no-one explains things. I’m always expected to just understand. Even when I ask for help, it never seems to be enough because I always mess it all up. I’m at a point in my life now where I can’t deal with responsibilities. I have no life.
That was deep! Thank you!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Brilliant, understandable and just simply well said. My goodness. Brilliant
My father left at age 12 and my mother became depressed, volatile, turbulent, and domineering.
My relationship with her has been defined by irritability, mood swings, and distance on my end, and a simultaneous destructive judgementalism and a fear of abandonment on her end. It has been over a decade since and we are trying to be healthier in our relationship.
I do escape into the intellect, such as by reading - but I do enjoy discussing these things with my mother. However, I am an extremely distant person now, extremely private, and only my inner world has been constantly active and alive. I have been capable of sustained work and I can achieve highly in school, but I have not made anything of it yet. I am a very attractive person, but I have no romantic interest because I feel too messed up as a person to actively pursue anything. Truly, I am anima possessed in romance because it has always been my partners that pursued me.
I am not yet 30 and have not given up, but it is indeed very canny how well Jung can describe this.
Hey I just have a question is your bday on the 9th? Or 27th ?
@@user-wq8sd2qc4u but if you add up your bday and simplify it to one digit is it 9 like 7/08/ 1992
@@Healthywealty the digital root of my birthdate is 6, as is my mother's
I'm in much the same spot, slightly different childhood circumstances but nearly the same in life as yourself. That description given of a man isolated, withdrawn into his own mind thanks to the poor relationship with his mother hits uncomfortably close to home. Gonna do some serious reflecting thanks to this video. I'm sure there's plenty other men in the same situation, hopefully we can all arrive at a level of self actualization that enables us to be who we truly should be and not stay completely cloistered, watching life pass us by.
@@OGKingfish yep, I have the same story, or very similar. Mother never cared or really tried to love me. She got the same from her parents, I have 3 children 2 diff mothers. But we get along well fir the most part. And I’m breaking those cycles with the love and principles I teach them everyday!
Doing a good job! Keep it up.
This was enlightening!! 🙏🏿
I had(and still have cuz I had it from childhood till the end of teenage) a negative image of my mother and I can relate to the self loathing, absurd mentality and living within my own inner world, being afraid of being real life decisions cuz they seem too real and threatening to my state. But was aware that I shouldn't be in this state, yet can't get out of it. Then I realised how my mother had to endure abuse and trauma from her father(I had to endure from my mother) as my mother's father left their family at a very young age and made another wife.
It's too much burden to carry. I'm planning on for therapy to not continue this way.
Thanks for the video.
I've been journaling for 6 years and for the last 2 years I've been constantly writing 2-3 times everyday. It's no use. But somehow I already thought of writing about my fantasies and it helped me to grow out of it. I like the movie Stalker (by Tarkovsky) on how it handles the skepticism about belief, I can relate myself to the stalker in the movie who questions why people don't believe in anything anymore.
And commenting on RUclips helps too.
I'm not actually willing to go for therapy, but I guess I can think about it. All I want right now is to write about my 'things' and settle them.
@@raw_dah Do you have people you can talk about this stuff with? Because I'll listen if you have more to say.
It can be tremendously helpful to seek some guidance from a professional
Literally in the same boat as you, although I've made a lot of things conscious in the last couple of years, there are still issues arising. Have been performing self therapy to a great degree, but still want to talk to a professional.
@@croutendo2050 thank you. But I'm very shy.
Thanks for asking, you can't even imagine how much this means. Thanks a lot.
I once did a really intense Meditation outside, with breathing techniques, movement and afterwards sitting quietly, opening my Heart to myself. And i have meet “Eva” its was a really beautiful experience. It felt like being seduced by the Earth,letting me fall in Love with this Planet. She invited me into garden eden. Since she is a active part of myself, always reminding me that we are already here. This Planet is paradise, is garden eden. We just need to let be seduced and eat the apples of wisdom. (An personal analogy for studying)
Thank you for this great video! I love your content! Keep on rocking🤟🏽
Everytime i find one of these videos i haven't listened to yet. I play it 5-10 times and look for new info not yet floating around.
Thanks for this video itreally helps answer a question of why i feel i have 2 opposite personalities at war with each other. I had started to try to use both, thinking likely they both have good knowledge for certain times. So likely one is my Anima
Been watching your channel for a while, this by far is one of my favorite videos.
Why should we care about your favourite videos?? Try to focus more on your self instead of focusing on your ego😉
@@seeuathebeach man you commenting ppl is so annoying. Do u think you're the center of earth? Eat it. Nobody cares what you have to say either. You're the one with ego issues that you have to shove your opinions on everyone!
Suggested edit:
The displayed picture at 18:00 is that of Lord Krishna and Radha, and not* Lord Shiva and Shakti.
Im a woman with a bad mother, and I find the only thing that spirits me away, is philosophy, religion, writing and art studies. She also wishes none of her children ever marry. I am depressed at how spot on this is.
I hope you drop kicked her out of your life. No quarter for the toxic.
Just what I needed to learn right now!! My wife and I are going through realizing our own anima/animus right now! Wow.
The pictures are on point bro!
I'm grateful I was adopted into a Taoist / Mahayana Buddhist family. I see the world and the mind in vastly different ways than this.
De Dao to become my true self is to be alone with my self by my self because my true self is the only part of me that wants to grow.
I'm grateful I was born retarded. It makes things simpler.
I like taoism too it really transformed my life for the better, recently I've lost some touch with it but try to cling to the philosophy because of it's greatness in my eyes . What's your opinion on this subject ?
I fell asleep and woke up to what sounded like him saying enema over and over again.
you're not the only one...
wow. I am speechless. Everything in its place and time I suppose but my goodness.. these concepts are quite the hidden treasure arent they..
This was a very excellent lecture, I finally can address some inner world aspects of me, I now know the name my ego-self takes and why I wanted that name for myself, I can feel the Animus and the Anima in me, though not balanced. Cheers 🥂 to Carl Jung.
Truly so relieved to have this kind knowledge in my life. I can only account this as Devine intervention. As a woman I had never considered the affect of the father to be dismissive. Dissociation is a nightmare I deal with but might this be a behavior I have learned to avoid the self? Blessings on you for your kindness
As another woman dealing with dissociation/derealization and a shaky relationship with her father, I just want you to know that you’re not alone. I hope you find the healing you need!
Why does the Mona Lisa come nearest to the wisdom archetype?
Think it’s interesting how much the anima and animus concepts have in common with Indian mysticism, specifically the concepts of Shakti and Shiva. I’m not talking about the actually gods, but rather the concepts they represent. Shakti is seen as the divine feminine energy, it’s seen as chaos. Someone that understands their inner shakti is filled with a love of life a need to explore and a level of natural intimacy with the world. Shiva represents order, the ever present watchfulness that exist within all. It is always observant and always silent. It’s gaze always non judgement, always accepting.
Just thought it was interesting how well the anima animus ties to it. And it’s a weird bit of human intuition where we almost always have throughout history described feminine energy as chaotic and masculine energy as orderly.
superb, thank you infinitely for this
The only definitive in life is birth Andrea death. All that happens
in between is a completely complex mixture of “ the opposites attempt
at unification “. Anima , animus , good and evil , black and white , and on
and on and on. We go through life , for the most part, totally ignorant of
what is happening within and without. Oh , the genius of Carl G. Jung !
this knowledge can probably be used for character development
prolly
This is amazing. And very helpful.
Wonderful information! Thank you!
