    Hello Prevan. Do you have any recommended resources women can look to for conquering their own issues with the unconscious mind? Thank you! 🙏

    • @TheEmptyChairMind
      @TheEmptyChairMind  11 дней назад +7

      It depends on which "issues" you have in mind that need to be conquered? And that really needs a therapeutic space with someone you feel has the skill set and can track your unconscious contents?
      This means that it is hard to get that kind of psychological processing through books - but it is possible. Probably the best introduction would by Jung's "Two Essays on Analytical Psychology" mentioned in the previous video on Jung and the Shadow Psychology.
      After that you have two options. For a more positive take on the feminine, there is the Jungian Jean Shinoda Bolen who explores a number of images of the feminine archetype. You may also find Esther Harding, an early Jungian, interesting. However, they do not elaborate on the feminine shadow. For the second option, you can look up "the bad mother complex" here on RUclips and check out available videos on that. And then if you felt brave enough, Melanie Klein's "Love, Guilt and Reparation" or "Envy and Gratitude" are classics in our psychological relationship with our mother. But Klein may need some background to the Freudian framework (called his "metapsychology") which I will be doing a video on. And it may help to get some introductory literature on Klein first.
      Hope that helps.

Neumann was writing for a Jungian audience so you need the Jungian basics. There is a collection of Jung edited by Anthony Storr - I'm not sure if it is available in Russian....

      that would be my reading - he did not look at the shadow implications of male psychology in that model. However, if you work with that more as a metaphor of the physical and social superiority of men over women, then there could be an inferiority complex in women that corresponds to what he said?

      One of the main points he presented here is that the very nature of this inferiority renders the male brain incapable of analyzing data about their inferiority. Makes this a bit of a vicious cycle, which is the crux of the problem. In my experience, women stay pretty fluid in their ability to self-reflect. Going into the depths of our psychological and emotional experiences is not tortuous in the way it is for men. Public discussions of the "male loneliness epidemic" are popping up all over the place, mostly driven by men willing to acknowledge the dynamics discussed here. There is still a lot of misogynistic push back on those sites, but at least the conversations have started.

    Hi Pravin, this was a very interesting video. I wish more men had the patience to watch your videos, it would surely help them in understanding the inner turmoil.
    The question, “why are men afraid of women and feel inferior “ is also very interesting and I believe the reason why men have this collective shadow inferiority which is evident in violence,crime, rape, murder & fetishes , is because a woman’s body is a portal for “consciousness” or what is called the “soul” or “atman” in some cultures.
    There has been a lot of research to understand what happens to us after we die, where we (our soul) comes from, where it goes, but there are no solid answers.
    The death countdown which begins at birth is our Great Equaliser. Man, woman, rich or poor, we are all faced with our inevitable death. Sure, the rich may have better access to medical care but they are still not immortal, no one is.
    This fear of death, and the woman’s body being the portal for life, I believe, is the main cause of the collective male shadow inferiority.
    For all their bunkers, billions, lab experiments, have been unsuccessful in figuring out the soul, the consciousness & the secrets of life & death.

    • @TheEmptyChairMind

      thanks for that great insight. You can see the "transpersonal" position very clearly. The difficulty for men particularly is to get there through the shadow work. Otherwise a dysfunctional ego gets hold of transpersonal energy and that leads to quite disastrous outcomes. I hope this channel will finally get there - but there is a lot of preliminary psychological work to be done on the shadow?

      I think it's better to keep scientific rather than esoteric terminology. A woman is not some kind of portal to the atman or the soul. And once again, how should this affect men's fear of women or feelings of inferiority? Both sexes are necessary to create life. It is only in union that the act of creation takes place. And before the threshold of death, both men and women are equal.
      There has been very little research on death and what happens after it, and there is practically no answer to this question. And it is unlikely that it will ever exist.

      @@FlaiderX I forgot to respond to your scientific bias as a form of skepticism. Vol 8 of Jung's Collected Works "The Structure and Dynamics of the Psyche" worked from biology and physics to find both evidence and analogies for how the psyche might operate in a close (perhaps identical) relationship between psyche and soma. Jung did a lot of work with Wolfgang Pauli, and prior to that work, Gustav Fechner also attempted to use physics as an analogy for the mind (psychophysics) ie energy is invisible but can be measured in how it manifests materially. So you may find that volume interesting as well - separate to the archetypal work. Jung also discusses synchronicity as an acausal principle of time in that volume.
      If you look up "paranormal research" there are a lot of studies on life after death - to me they are of marginal interest given my clinical work dealing with the living rather than the dead - but research is available and Jung also had his encounters with the paranormal, although it was in symbolic form ("The Red Book").

      @@FlaiderX In pure masculine archetypal form, the woman of course has nothing to do with it, just as in the pure feminine archetypal form, the masculine has nothing to do with it. So Jung then sets up what he calls the "contrasexual archetypes" as a process through which a new third (birth of the child) is possible psychologically. And he is quite optimistic about what that birth can bring - a new future.
      My problem with Jung is that we can't even get to his original formulation of contrasexual, because we cannot isolate the element of masculine or feminine psychologically. To use the analogy from chemistry, we have to separate the compound structure (which currently is highly volatile and conflicted) and identify the elements before re-integrating them. This means you have to release your mind from the compulsion to depend on (and keep talking about) women for a definition of masculinity.
      The vagueness of my term in a RUclips reply seems strange for you to mention? Surely you understand that this requires several videos to explain - ie it is not vague but overladen with layers of meaning that have to be responsibly broken down? I have also commented here on Nietzsche (see egg-apron's comments) which hints at that complexity. But we cannot rush to the masculine without working through its shadow. That's what all masculine psychologies are doing. This channel works in the opposite direction because there is something incomplete (and dangerous) when we can't see our shadow.

    This is very insightful. I've always known that tip toeing around the male ego is the first rule of sailing. And really everything to do with getting along with men.
    I was thinking how hard it would be as a woman going for a leadership position in terms of how to approach men or project to them emotionally. Female strength can trigger male insecurity or a feeling of emasculation. So it's like walking a balance beam or threading the needle psychologically. I think Mexico's president Claudia Sheinbaum has the kind of presence that begets leadership and confidence through intelligence and communication without challenging masculinity. (Check out Jasmine Crockett! The men are scared.) Now I know why being confrontational with men does not work for female leadership most of the time. It's all about navigating the male ego and their fragile feelings of inferiority. I can sort of understand on the psychological level of rejection.

Although there were good things in my relationships, I eventually left them because I held them to standards of conduct and emotional intelligence that men are just not skilled at. I felt dissatisfied, they felt devalued and defeated. My friends who stayed in their marriages acknowledged that it took a lot of work and lowered expectations, and I was so disappointed in the language they used to describe their husbands' stunted development, like they were trained monkeys or something. I can't help wonder "Is this it for human beings? Aren't we capable of more than this?" I'm learning to think like Previn, seeing this as a historical movement, a sea change in human psychology where men are being forced by the pain of isolation to begin self-reflection. I see positive changes with each new generation, so there's hope.

      Yes. I can kind of understand what they're talking about. But there is no need to generalize. Men also have problems with your female ego. Judging from my experience and that of my male colleagues in my country, the female half of humanity is often unpleasant. It's not that simple with a woman's ego. It is often difficult for us to resist him, and we are forced to make concessions (to be "knights", to appease, etc.). In the future, I would like to study the female ego and shadow in order to better understand how to coexist with women. Because here, in the comments, women present themselves as exceptional victims, which they are not.

      I understand it's important to talk about women's issues. Women have been treated unfairly in the past. But I'll tell you what: do you think that society has not exploited men? In tsarist Russia, ALL men were obligated to serve for 20+ years in the army. The mortality rate is incredible. And if you want to say that it was men who exploited men, then no. Russia had many female rulers who also actively participated in wars. Women received bonuses for the fact that men served in the army and defended their country.
      Societies of the past actively exploited men and women. But each sex was used in its own way. This fact is simply indisputable, and your attempts to pull the blanket over women, in my opinion, look childish.

      thanks for listening. I didn't want to get into alternative sexual identities because you have to establish the psychological frame first to anticipate all the emotionally reactive backlash from all sides of the debate. But these models of mind are not gender specific - so you would use the same frame, model, language but run it through the sexual variables of LGBTQIA and then clearly differentiate how the shadow is different in each group.

      As an American black woman is this my opinion based on my anecdotal experience: I feel like men that are a part of the LBGTIA community also hate women just as much as hetero-men. However, because they are not sexually attracted to us they are not as sexually aggressive towards us. They are just as quick to get violent with women. However, I trust men that are a part of the LBGTIA community to defend me against another man before a heterosexual man will physically and verbally. They slightly (maybe because of increased estrogen) have more empathy for women than hetero. Just my opinion, not based on anything academic. I love that this topic is being explored by men. Men will only listen to men. Thank you for tackling the topic

    Misogyny/Misandry being a response to one's perceived sexual undesirability is pretty straight forward. The ultimate cause though of either is the narcissistic mother. Misogynists likely feel judged by women which goes back to their relationship with their mother. Misandrists hate men because their father was "too weak" to protect them from their narcissistic mother and may have even abandoned the child in an effort to protect themselves. Leaving the child with a narcissists who inevitably will brainwash the child into believing the father was wrong, the mother was right and in turn, completely warping the child's worldview. This is where the objectification of women comes from. Men who objectify women are first objectified by their mother who views them as a doll (see the now infamous lego gender experiment).
    What's really awful, is when sexually undesirable men feel the need to boost women's egos in an attempt to get any kind of attention of affection from the woman (i.e. the sim/p). These men and the women who take advantage of them are catastrophic to the psychological homeostasis of a society.

      thanks for these great insights. Developmentally, you are quite right in working through the parental imago figures in the psyche. My worry is that when men talk about the feminine (Mother) it is too easy to distract from the realities of our masculine shadow? So I wanted to isolate the analysis in a way that men don't to see what we can understand about ourselves. And the biological component becomes as important as the primary parental relationships.

      @ did my suggestion trigger you? i’ve already said for balance and relevance but if you want more: if you did the same for misandry, not only would it give you a better understanding of misogyny, so you can deliver your message better, but by showing you’re coming from a balanced and neutral place, you’ll engender more trust and engage men better. You’ll actually get your message across to your desired audience. Unless of course you’re just trying to pander to women.
      Further, I speak for “black” men who have been called inherently violent, told they need to be re-educated/civilized, and implied to be predators historically here in the west. Feminists have gone to perpetuate the exact same messages with zero regard for this, thinking if they insult white men enough it’ll erase the abuse they have doled out to their own allies.
      Just read the comments under this video. There are a lot of bullies here and in 2025 it’s to time correct this. This is not 1995, where your message belongs. Any overt misogyny you see today is in response to f*male bullies/abusers. You’re also undermining the work of men who’ve already spread your message ad nauseam.

      @@peterGnash thanks for contextualising your comment about misandry. I'm working in a tradition that has been repeatedly rejected by both society and the medical world, so definitely not interested in pandering to women or starting a men's movement. And I wasn't triggered. What I saw was an incapacity to process the violence and destruction of men when isolating and then analysing it psychologically, just as you would in a chemistry lab if you were trying to identify and understand a volatile and dangerous chemical substance. You would want to examine its structure, properties and predictable characteristics before trying to find solutions to fix it. To do that, you isolate it?
      So the need to speak about misandry seems to be a psychological need in men - something that I hope to look at in the next video. For now, I'll just say that it repeats a dependency on women in order to appear balanced, when psychologically what is happening is a deflection. When a chemist is analysing a volatile chemical substance, you usually don't ask them to be balanced. Hopefully, you are interested in the analysis?
      Once the analysis is over, the next step would be integration rather than misandry. That integration will hopefully help men not to step into misandric relationships or behaviours, but sustain more positive relationships from a secure psychological base.
      I'm sorry if you find my content repeated ad nauseam. I'm just analysing - I'm not trying to be original. Thanks for your comments and your time.
