"Heed these words, you who wish to probe the depths of Nature: If you do not find within your Self that which you seek, neither will you find it outside. If you ignore the wonders of your own House, how do you expect to find other wonders? In you is hidden the Treasure of Treasures. Know Thyself and you will know the Universe and the Gods." --Oracle of Delphi
At the time, these words said it all and they still do. Know yourself and you know everyone is consiosness expressing itself in this world as form. Consciousness loves form and creates form so that it can experience itself. The universe is not simply something "out there", It's you and me and every other form of life expressing itself. The universe is evolving and so must we.

@twizzle mc fizzle ; You don't have to suffer from psychosis to become analytical. You just need to analyze the fundamental building blocks of whatever you are studying to understand and agree or disagree with the backing and evidence for each block. This is supposed to be the goal of education, instead of simple memorization without independent and deep analysis. You also need to spend time practicing thinking like other people from their point of view including their emotions. You then begin to decipher their thought processes and the errors in those thought processes and the emotions that lead to the self-induced misinformation. When you do this over many years, you begin to see patterns. Basically, you are able to see anything from multiple points of view and understand how people arrived at those errors.
well it wasn't one person. Jung just followed the path that was led by others like Nietzsche, Dostoevsky, Freud to name a few. Jung was no doubt a G, but just like Mozart had to have a guy by the name of Bartolomeo Cristofori invent the Piano first, Jung had lots of geniuses to learn from as well. As Isaac Newton said so eloquently, " If I have seen a little further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants"
@@riverahmaya817 right ?! The fact that this comment is the most upvoted goes to show how many people listen to this and leave with the understanding that it's the other side, whoever that may be, that really needs to wake up..
Reminder everyone that this book was published in 1958. If you think Jung describes a contemporary movement than I should remind you that this is the man that developed the collective unconscious and to delve seriously into history.
Parts of Beyond Good and Evil are the exact same way, but a hundred years before The Undiscovered Self. I'm listening to this again from about five years ago and thought it was relevant then, as well, though the conditions were different. Also, reading something like Letters from a Stoic and hearing Seneca describing how modern people had become weaker and lazier through their technological advances, you can't help but think that Nietzsche's Eternal Recurrence has some validity.
Self-concept and Self esteem Self-concept and self esteem are two different terms that are usually mistakenly interchanged. Let us define them by aiming for their key differences. Self-concept is our cognition to ourselves, what we think and know about our identity, personality, and individuality. It requires a lot of self-evaluation by and reflection to be able to say that your self-concept is high. Self-esteem is related to self-concept but it is different. It does not focus on how we know ourselves but rather our our attitude towards ourselves. It is a more situational approach in terms of attitude because self-esteem is how we value ourselves, given the negative or positive feedback we receieve.
1:00:36 “the individual psyche, just because of its individuality, is an exception to the statistical rule and is therefore robbed of one of its main characteristics when subjected to the leveling influence of statistical evaluation” - Jung … so powerful.
We all have innate constructs, attributes, and qualities we are either unaware of or don't know how to open these up and realize our full potential? This is why we all need each other to assist in this overall processing of our innate vastly immensity in living life. This is where reading, writing, and sharing are a compliment to our own psyche and our environment.
Took me like 38ish years... to understand my being... when you get to this stage and really do not give a... unless you give a.... a new understanding of life begins... you are more open to everything... melt into a new world...
This just changed my life. Thank you. I beleive there are 3 people inside of us. Imagine a mask split down the middle. One side is the devil, and one side is Jesus. Imagine grabbing both sides of that mask and tearing it down the middle, only to reveal the face of the individual. It's a balance between the primal heathen and the ascendant angel that forms the spirit of the individual. Knowing when to wield these spirits through balance is key.

Great wisdom spoken by Jung... thanks so much for uploading this! It is almost unbearable to listen to it, as it is so accurate to what is going on in our world. The destruction of the individual by countless factors from all sorts of directions: politics, mass media, educational systems, medical systems...we've been manipulated into this weak state for such a long time now, deprived of our dignity to choose freely, that it almost seems impossible to get out of these widely spread and very toxic habits humans have sheepishly and obliviously taken on. We are like slaves who can't see their chains or are too tired already to take them off. We are being ruled impersonally and soullessly, no wonder we feel empty and depressed. It makes me so angry!!!
@@LouMaPoo agree. Not so easy these days. Distractions everywhere and people connect through buying stuff, showing off new stuff- sometimes only via social media, without the real presence of others which at least could turn this madness into a social event. It takes us over. When you refuse to join facebook etc, you miss out - but on what exactly? I wouldn't mind all that if it would only be another way of connecting, but it takes away from real connections, it's a shallow substitute and it helps avoiding real life.
It's after a long time that I read something..and something from Jung. I am writing notes below on some of the points that struck a chord with me . - Individuals losing their individuality because of being ruled by the state. - The state taking the role of a religious creed , and even God, while the connection of individuals with God is disrupted. - Science treating individuals as statistical instead of seeing the individual. - People trying to understand religion and psyche through the lens which they understand of rationality and science and failing at it . - Religious impulse and inbuilt phenomena to the nature of humans and when God and religion is taken away, something else replaces it usually with dire consequences. - Religion and theology need to be seen symbolically instead of seeing them as literal true stories. - The violence outside committed by someone else, is part of human psyche and hence we are all responsible in someway for them. - It is important to see the 'evil' in our psyche instead of projecting the blame on someone else. In seeing it one understands oneself better and has lesser chances of using those impulses as violence against someone else with an alibi of doing good, of an ideal. - As individuals in society get far away from understanding each other, and as they get atomiced, the role of state becomes higher, and the chance of one's own knowledge about oneself decreases, and increases the chances of violence in the society as the evil in the psyche manifests. - It's not just evil that resides in the unexplored aspects of the psyche, but also the dynamism that can help us become whole in the way we are and what we do. - It's in understanding and acceptance of our own weakness and humility, that we will seek human relationships and it's healthy for our individual psyches and also the society. Without it one might approach the other with arrogance and make the negotiation non -conducive for human interaction. - personal inference : As much as all this might seem as a problem of people, as a sign that others need to change, the lesson here is to see oneself, know oneself, get one's own life in order, not by merely rebelling , but by individually understanding ourselves, and our connection to others and human psyche . It also indicates that despite the pressures of the society into forming unconscious habits, against doing what we know is necessary for us, we may see how we have formed those habits, and in turn realize what we truly want to do.
"Most troubling to Jung are the ever-increasing proclivity to mass-mindedness, and the eradication of the individual by the "State". " Yep and the proclivity just keeps rolling on. I'm glad to find your narration of The Undiscovered Self. I've been trying to explain the importance of self-sufficiency, sovereignty of mind, self-determination, self-actualization and individuation to people who prioritize falling in line with the "collective consciousness", which has really come to mean the will of the state in a duopoly choice political system. Since my comments often get disappeared in YT (regardless of what I'm talking about), I think I'll just point people to about 1:10:00 into narration here, or perhaps 54:40 Part 4: The Individual's Understanding of Himself, where the chapter begins. That's for creating and posting this. I've tried narration and know that it isn't easy, even for someone who reads fluently and is comfortable speaking into a mic. I'm not, so I really do appreciate that you are. 🙏
I remember I listened to this for the first time as bedtime story because I just liked to be someone who reads Jung and I didn't undetstod anything .. still there is so much to cover and to know but now I have the actual hand book and I am reading while listening to this and after each part I write down my thoughts and what I think is worth mentioning (Jp suggested that I know) and I am slowly becoming better with it .
Thanks very much to the reader for a high quality reading effort 1:12:35 "A million zeros joined together do NOT, unfortunately add to ONE. Ultimately everything depends on the quality of the INDIVIDUAL......1:14 ....if the individual is NOT truly regenerated in spirit, society cannot be either, for society is the sum total of individuals in need of redemption....1:18 The Infantile Paradise p. 51 1:58 The seat of FAITH...is not consciousness but spontaneous religious experience, which brings the individual's faith into immediate relation with God. p. 71 2:15 "Reason alone does NOT suffice"
We are far into his prophetic society. Individualism is great for personal individuality but isolated from the others we are more and more isolated parents and child's are isolated from each other. We are weak so weak in front of any power who could take control. Up to now freedom exist on X not on Facebook so we will see up to where it will go. I recently discovered Carl Gustav Jung a liberator talking in the name of science defending the spiritual world in our minds excellent book thank you to read it to me while I keep busy doing my duty.
This work has been promoted to near biblical status for me. I've probably listened to it close to a hundred times. The ideas are pivotal for understanding the plight of the individual in modern society and this message has grown more important as time goes on. Thanks again for the amazing read!
I'm reading this and Stirner's the Unique and its Own at the same time and I can't help but notice the parallelisms with that book. Carl Jung even says "the end sanctifies the means" and illustrates how the State uses lies as a political instrument. Whereas Stirner says "the end hallows the means" and illustrates how war is justified for the wellbeing of the citizen, the "good cause", i.e, the cause of the State itself.
I was awakened as a toddler. Be thankful you haven’t spent your entire life with this mindset because you’d just be the outcast like myself. No one believes anything I have to say because my thoughts have always been seen as crazy or radical when it is just natural law

Oh the misunderstood awakened ones so lonely on the pinnacle of knowledge. Those chosen few that instinctively apprehend the truth that eludes us mere mortals.
There is no better exemplification of our times then this explanation of who we are, why and how we arrived here.. if we took these words to heart we would avoid so much tragedy.. individually and collectively .,
@markus you dont see how Marxist ideologies have been weaponized once again this time using culture itself to create a new "oppressed and oppressor" class in society especially in the west and most notably in the one of the biggest modern empires (the USA)? i mean they had almost 100 continuous days of riots and looting in some states.. lets not fool ourselves america is in the grips of a cultural revolution and even centrists and people never before involved are choosing sides (revolutionary and reactionary groups are forming and violence is still escalating).. the problem is magnified because of technology, you see every teenager and kid has a phone and if you go on twitter you will understand just how polarizing it is. the media is the problem, they purposefully create incendiary and outrageous articles that are either taken out of context or not true.. people dont bother finding out but instead react based on how many likes and shares it got. its really taken over culture and even kids are being used as red guard and if something doesnt change it could lead to a coupe or a civil war
22:27 The next 50 seconds - perhaps the best framing of one of the simplest "realpolitik" arguments. A common, easy to form judgement, however well realised.
I personally read to myself the book the undiscovered self more than twenty years ago when I was a college student and was assigned to do a report . After the years have gone by, I have read the book around two more times. I loved the translation and tge magnificent way of Paranormal psychologist Carl Jung providing his knowledge about our true self. Listening to this audiobook, I am under the impression that I am not listening to the authentic written book but to the interpretation of someone else other than Carl Jung's written book.
I know that Alan Watts met him in 1958, what I wouldn't give to have been a fly on the wall for that conversation. Two of the greatest minds in modern history in my opinion.
Wow!! You did this all over again just for helping people!! Your awesome! Yes, this version really is easier to follow. Thanks so much. You have a nice voice as well :)
This is important now. The mass formation thought in the “era of pandemics” has brought about the rise of statistical man and the suppression of the individual. Jung speaks of individualism as resistance to infection; in this case the “virus” is the tyranny of thought.
This work has been promoted to near biblical status for me. I've probably listened to it close to a hundred times. The ideas are pivotal for understanding the plight of the individual in modern society and this message has grown more important as time goes on. It's tough in spots but the reward here is incalculable.
The sadest thing is those who are trained in psychology have no idea that we are suffering from spiritual attacks or guidance to help save us from suffering. 🙏 it's all about helping save humanity save earth. Minimalism mindfulness connectedness. 💚
What is needed is someone more qualified than me to give a "map" about different psychological approaches for people new at this and working at self development. Everyone, including Masters, has a trend that does match or not the requirements of truth seekers.
Everything is in a state of vibration. Frequencies are responsible for the vibrations. All patterns start at a central point. The central point of your being is your subconscious mind.

Guys i think the fact that we fell on this reality is it proving its existence and that maybe we are supposed to start a chain reaction event by sharing the video because honestly this is the world right now and seems to have always been.
Wow if every high school kid was required to read this book it would change our world 4Better in less than Generation! Cuz he hits the Nail on the Head w/ wat & who is responsible for the problems&issues of our modern world!!!
Not sure if anyone made the same connection, but it seems pretty clear to me that within the first 5 minutes of this book that Jung perfectly, in every possible aspect, described the psyches of a significant portion of Western societies today. We are essentially living in the delusions of the mentally ill. And those mentally ill are angry resentful bitter jealous and wish to burn the whole thing down. Cue world war 1. Hopefully we can learn enough from that to not escalate something to make number three a reality. I have about as much hope as Jung did.
There is still relevance in this book, even in the 21st century, concerning technologies and sciences excelling our current mass minded beliefs, and ignoring the individual. 😞
1:12:34 - “A million zeroes joined together do not, unfortunately, add up to one. Ultimately everything depends on the quality of the individual.” - Jung
I find myself mapping the depths of the mind,it is interesting to find dark corners but i dare not thread too close until i find the courage and shine a light to find a strange decrepit version of yourself as if neglected..
Until I listened to this, I never knew how closely Jung and Hayek converg on the importance of the individual and the dangers of mass movements. Jung could have written the forward to "The Road to Serfdom".
Thank you for your contribution to educating the public about Jung's works. I do wish to ask if you would kindly include the reference citation for this and the other essays you read aloud. It is helpful to know when the essay was published, when it was written, and where it was published. A reference citation. Thank you.
Agreed. Very agreed. Our psychic pandemic causes all the material catastrophes and pandemics we are experiencing. Bookchin’s philosophy of Dialectical Naturalism extends our philosophical tradition into a conscious awareness which he calls Free Nature. Social Ecology is the way forward for EcoBioPsychoSocial human evolution.
As I listen to this and look upon my surroundings, I find articulated what I have so long believed to be true. Now the question remains how to open others minds to this perspective of reflection.
That is indeed a a very good question ,having subconsciously know what is been said here all my life ,on the surface we are in this mad world trying to understand it from sometimes what feels like a spectators view with everyone around you believing what they are fed and for the most part being sucked into it because it seems the only alternative but still knowing deep down it all fiction ,also not knowing anyone that you could discuss this with , then I discover this and for the first time realise I am not alone in my inner knowing God bless be safe .
The problem we are faced with is language itself. It is a division of true reality. It labels things as bits and pieces rather than seeing the wholesome perspective. Language is the foundation to magical practice. With its symbolism a false sense of reality is created within the minds that can be fooled by its imagery...
Words cannot express how much I appreciate your time and effort posting this video. However, I love it and thank you so much for the audio...

SO BRUTAL as TRUTH shall always be. Difficult to swallow, much the less to defy? Maybe SIN incarnate ... dunno! Tends to make me physically unwell, but enlivened with the fact that there remains the "CHOICE"? ThePositive inner Voice of childhood to be made manifest untarnished by artificial demands ... GOD Bless You . NOT Easy !!!
Everything he wrote in thsi small book, is comming true right now before our very eyes, Yet there is a super duper critical need of reading Jung via a critical commentary. The Jungians are lost, Jung has been cheated.
Thanks for slowing it down Think Neo. I tried slowing down the shorter version manually but the slight voice distortion produced is distracting. Much more comfortable listening in this reading.
I was like let me put this in the background while doing physical work in the lab. Very quickly did I realize that as you would expect, I couldn't continue because of the energy consumption necessary for the very dense mental work required by this book. I feel quite enlightened already, 5mins into the book, not to mention that I got lost midway through. Such a thinker! Carl f*ing Jung, man!
Gee. I’m thinking furiously here. And grateful that someone thought these thoughts, wrote them down and published them. Maybe, I understand some of these ideas, more likely I’m pissing in my pocket 😝
“This conflict cannot be solved by an either or but only by a two way thinking. Doing one thing while not loosing the sight of the other!” Doctors who just gives out medication like it’s candy without regard to the complexity of a human, needs to read this book. It’s so irritating to me that we say you have ADHD, here medication. That’s not helping solve the problem by any means. It’s just putting a bandaid on it.
"Heed these words, you who wish to probe the depths of Nature: If you do not find within your Self that which you seek, neither will you find it outside. If you ignore the wonders of your own House, how do you expect to find other wonders? In you is hidden the Treasure of Treasures.

I remember I listened to this for the first time as bedtime story because I just liked to be someone who reads Jung and I didn't undetstod anything .. still there is so much to cover and to know but now I have the actual hand book and I am reading while listening to this and after each part I write down my thoughts and what I think is worth mentioning (Jp suggested that I know) and I am slowly becoming better with it .
I too have been taking notes as I go. I find it so helpful to go back a read them
Thanks very much to the reader for a high quality reading effort 1:12:35 "A million zeros joined together do NOT, unfortunately add to ONE. Ultimately everything depends on the quality of the INDIVIDUAL......1:14 ....if the individual is NOT truly regenerated in spirit, society cannot be either, for society is the sum total of individuals in need of redemption....1:18 The Infantile Paradise p. 51 1:58 The seat of FAITH...is not consciousness but spontaneous religious experience, which brings the individual's faith into immediate relation with God. p. 71 2:15 "Reason alone does NOT suffice"
We are far into his prophetic society. Individualism is great for personal individuality but isolated from the others we are more and more isolated parents and child's are isolated from each other. We are weak so weak in front of any power who could take control. Up to now freedom exist on X not on Facebook so we will see up to where it will go. I recently discovered Carl Gustav Jung a liberator talking in the name of science defending the spiritual world in our minds excellent book thank you to read it to me while I keep busy doing my duty.
1:19:44 - "Resistance to the organized mass can only be effected by the man who is as well organized in his individuality as the mass itself."
I've read a decent portion of Jung's works and I've still yet to come across a statement of his that hit me as hard as that one.

Crazy how relevant it is till this day and if not even more
We are living in insanity and Jung has become my only foundation that makes sense.
I also suggest James Allen. Start with As a Man Thinketh and go from there.
And Immanuel Goldstein
@fynes leigh bless you friend
This work has been promoted to near biblical status for me. I've probably listened to it close to a hundred times. The ideas are pivotal for understanding the plight of the individual in modern society and this message has grown more important as time goes on. Thanks again for the amazing read!
I’d recommend Nietzsche but be warned. His work is hard to take in. He drops a difficulty comprehend truth in every sentence.
Thank God I discovered him in the 1980's.
I'm reading this and Stirner's the Unique and its Own at the same time and I can't help but notice the parallelisms with that book. Carl Jung even says "the end sanctifies the means" and illustrates how the State uses lies as a political instrument. Whereas Stirner says "the end hallows the means" and illustrates how war is justified for the wellbeing of the citizen, the "good cause", i.e, the cause of the State itself.
I would have never comprehended this information before receiving new ears to hear💓 Thank you!
I was awakened as a toddler. Be thankful you haven’t spent your entire life with this mindset because you’d just be the outcast like myself. No one believes anything I have to say because my thoughts have always been seen as crazy or radical when it is just natural law
I was the same !!!I tried it and I would passed out, I Would have headaches and panic attacks!! Now it's like sweet music to my ears !!! 🧘♂️🧘♀️.. I'm still amazed by how far ahead of his time ,he really was.....
Damn ... this dude thinks his better then jesus!!!( woken from birth)..😑... even jesus had to have a normal life and meditation was what unlocked it !!!I only suffered until I open my eyes !!! Then the suffering stopped!!! So maybe you are very sensitive to energys!! But jesus, buddha, and all the masters around the world would tell you !!! Your not borned with this !!😁🙏🏽... you probably can sense energies!!! Doesn't mean you understand them !!! ( it seems you don't) just the way you spoke about it was in a negative way and as a victim !!! I used to think that way .... find a guru !!!! To learned to used your gifts !!! I dont been to be an asshole, but theres a big difference. ..... and you will know when you get there !!!! 100%🧘♂️🧘♀️🤴👸 Hidden Hand ..let's talked please !!!!
Oh the misunderstood awakened ones so lonely on the pinnacle of knowledge. Those chosen few that instinctively apprehend the truth that eludes us mere mortals.

Bears repeated listening. Way ahead of his time and highly relevant today. Thank you Think Neo, Think!
There is no better exemplification of our times then this explanation of who we are, why and how we arrived here.. if we took these words to heart we would avoid so much tragedy.. individually and collectively .,
so relevant, especially in 2020!
Explains the identity politics of today's modern world. An "infection"

@@psychedelic9804 btw nice to see a fellow psychonaut who got "un-woke"
@markus you dont see how Marxist ideologies have been weaponized once again this time using culture itself to create a new "oppressed and oppressor" class in society especially in the west and most notably in the one of the biggest modern empires (the USA)? i mean they had almost 100 continuous days of riots and looting in some states.. lets not fool ourselves america is in the grips of a cultural revolution and even centrists and people never before involved are choosing sides (revolutionary and reactionary groups are forming and violence is still escalating).. the problem is magnified because of technology, you see every teenager and kid has a phone and if you go on twitter you will understand just how polarizing it is. the media is the problem, they purposefully create incendiary and outrageous articles that are either taken out of context or not true.. people dont bother finding out but instead react based on how many likes and shares it got. its really taken over culture and even kids are being used as red guard and if something doesnt change it could lead to a coupe or a civil war
22:27 The next 50 seconds - perhaps the best framing of one of the simplest "realpolitik" arguments. A common, easy to form judgement, however well realised.
I personally read to myself the book the undiscovered self more than twenty years ago when I was a college student and was assigned to do a report . After the years have gone by, I have read the book around two more times. I loved the translation and tge magnificent way of Paranormal psychologist Carl Jung providing his knowledge about our true self. Listening to this audiobook, I am under the impression that I am not listening to the authentic written book but to the interpretation of someone else other than Carl Jung's written book.
I know that Alan Watts met him in 1958, what I wouldn't give to have been a fly on the wall for that conversation. Two of the greatest minds in modern history in my opinion.

For those who listen to this and see asleep masses needing to hear this and wake up, how much do you believe what he is saying is more about you?
I have listened to the beinging of this several times. It is so thought provoking.
This is important now. The mass formation thought in the “era of pandemics” has brought about the rise of statistical man and the suppression of the individual. Jung speaks of individualism as resistance to infection; in this case the “virus” is the tyranny of thought.
@realM.C.only.b i would like to hear your thoughts and feedback.
Agreed.
This argument makes the individual feel greatful for religion.
Every line blows my mind. He was a walking library of knowledge and wisdom.
Watching what is unfolding in recent years it is so evident he predicted this. Insanity in many ways has broken through
Can't tell you how many times I have listened to this! THANK YOU SO MUCH for this narration of one of my favorite books of all-time.
Can u explain me?.
This work has been promoted to near biblical status for me. I've probably listened to it close to a hundred times. The ideas are pivotal for understanding the plight of the individual in modern society and this message has grown more important as time goes on. It's tough in spots but the reward here is incalculable.
I absolutely agree with you, this work to so important to who we are and who we can become.
The sadest thing is those who are trained in psychology have no idea that we are suffering from spiritual attacks or guidance to help save us from suffering. 🙏 it's all about helping save humanity save earth. Minimalism mindfulness connectedness. 💚
What is needed is someone more qualified than me to give a "map" about different psychological approaches for people new at this and working at self development. Everyone, including Masters, has a trend that does match or not the requirements of truth seekers.
Everything is in a state of vibration. Frequencies are responsible for the vibrations. All patterns start at a central point. The central point of your being is your subconscious mind. Your subconscious mind is the cause of your pattern. If you do not like the pattern being expressed, consciously change the pattern...
Guys i think the fact that we fell on this reality is it proving its existence and that maybe we are supposed to start a chain reaction event by sharing the video because honestly this is the world right now and seems to have always been.
Something of a prophetic work that applies to today as it did years ago
It’s timeless
Truth is timeless
A simple thank you .
The " one" , being the make-weight that tips the scales .
Wow if every high school kid was required to read this book it would change our world 4Better in less than Generation! Cuz he hits the Nail on the Head w/ wat & who is responsible for the problems&issues of our modern world!!!
What a treasure trove your channel is. Thank you.
Not sure if anyone made the same connection, but it seems pretty clear to me that within the first 5 minutes of this book that Jung perfectly, in every possible aspect, described the psyches of a significant portion of Western societies today. We are essentially living in the delusions of the mentally ill. And those mentally ill are angry resentful bitter jealous and wish to burn the whole thing down. Cue world war 1. Hopefully we can learn enough from that to not escalate something to make number three a reality. I have about as much hope as Jung did.
There is still relevance in this book, even in the 21st century, concerning technologies and sciences excelling our current mass minded beliefs, and ignoring the individual. 😞
1:12:34 - “A million zeroes joined together do not, unfortunately, add up to one. Ultimately everything depends on the quality of the individual.” - Jung
I highly suggest reading Iain McGilchrest's works on the divided brain and then go back and listen to this. It really adds a lot of insights to Jung.
Marvelous contribution of Jung to the world of Self!
I find myself mapping the depths of the mind,it is interesting to find dark corners but i dare not thread too close until i find the courage and shine a light to find a strange decrepit version of yourself as if neglected..
Fenomenal! So grateful for this book ♥️
Maybe the best book I've ever heard/read! Thank you so much!
Thanks, Gregg, for your splendid narration of an awesome book.
I keep coming back: Thank You for this recording, Gregg. It's, just, what I need, right, now.

Until I listened to this, I never knew how closely Jung and Hayek converg on the importance of the individual and the dangers of mass movements. Jung could have written the forward to "The Road to Serfdom".
Hayek and Pinochet.
Thank you for your contribution to educating the public about Jung's works. I do wish to ask if you would kindly include the reference citation for this and the other essays you read aloud. It is helpful to know when the essay was published, when it was written, and where it was published. A reference citation. Thank you.
Such an amazing argument at around 19 minutes in on how science creates group think and therefore can reduce the value of the individual
Thoroughly enjoyed...
Outstanding read.
Very well done.
Pleasure to listen & thank you for choosing Jung.

Amazing, I love Jungs work. Feels like he is speaking to my very being

We are currently living in a psychic pandemic, not a viral one
Agreed. Very agreed. Our psychic pandemic causes all the material catastrophes and pandemics we are experiencing.
Bookchin’s philosophy of Dialectical Naturalism extends our philosophical tradition into a conscious awareness which he calls Free Nature. Social Ecology is the way forward for EcoBioPsychoSocial human evolution.
Thank you!
@@basemaleem7375 can you have both ?
The best audio books ever
Thanks so much for this recording!
Self observation is the only path I can take that exposes the lies that is me.
As I listen to this and look upon my surroundings, I find articulated what I have so long believed to be true. Now the question remains how to open others minds to this perspective of reflection.
That is indeed a a very good question ,having subconsciously know what is been said here all my life ,on the surface we are in this mad world trying to understand it from sometimes what feels like a spectators view with everyone around you believing what they are fed and for the most part being sucked into it because it seems the only alternative but still knowing deep down it all fiction ,also not knowing anyone that you could discuss this with , then I discover this and for the first time realise I am not alone in my inner knowing God bless be safe .
The problem we are faced with is language itself. It is a division of true reality. It labels things as bits and pieces rather than seeing the wholesome perspective. Language is the foundation to magical practice. With its symbolism a false sense of reality is created within the minds that can be fooled by its imagery...
The end of part 2 is incredible
Learning from this guy feels like cheating on a test. Giving me the forbidden knowledge lol. Awesome, amazing, deep stuff.
No doubt man absolutely life changing
I’ve listened to this like 20 or 30+ times. The narration is just on point.
#myyoutubealgorithm I want such books to come to my feed more often. Looooove Carl Jungggg
From BANGLADESH!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Glad to see so many views on this great material.
Words cannot express how much I appreciate your time and effort posting this video. However, I love it and thank you so much for the audio... This book is MY bible and now I can listen to it, so thank you so much from the Wise Men. Keep sharing this treasure, not many know about and/or will not believe. p.s. your name is cool!!! 396
the first 3 and a half minutes nails it
SO BRUTAL as TRUTH shall always be. Difficult to swallow, much the less to defy? Maybe SIN incarnate ... dunno! Tends to make me physically unwell, but enlivened with the fact that there remains the "CHOICE"? ThePositive inner Voice of childhood to be made manifest untarnished by artificial demands ... GOD Bless You . NOT Easy !!!
Everything he wrote in thsi small book, is comming true right now before our very eyes, Yet there is a super duper critical need of reading Jung via a critical commentary. The Jungians are lost, Jung has been cheated.
Most enlightening thing I ever heard well written well read! A true prospective changer.
Thank you Gregg. Thank you Carl.
I sang this comment in Alanis Morissette's voice. Naked.
Conviction here is that there is no personal self with a freewill.we only react according to our conditioning
Well read!! Thank you so much 🙏
Thanks so much for uploading this.
Thanks for slowing it down Think Neo. I tried slowing down the shorter version manually but the slight voice distortion produced is distracting. Much more comfortable listening in this reading.
Great work. I agree, much improved
Narrator is pretty good, and I for one find the woeful mispronounciations a fun game at interpretation.
Thank you so much Greg. You have the perfect Carl Jung voice.
Simply, Thank You.
On this eve of "911" Jung's work is an epochal analytic archetypal individuational "Call to Awaken"...
Thank you so much for this recording
An A for the effort of the reader, but a D for his vocal execution.
I was like let me put this in the background while doing physical work in the lab. Very quickly did I realize that as you would expect, I couldn't continue because of the energy consumption necessary for the very dense mental work required by this book. I feel quite enlightened already, 5mins into the book, not to mention that I got lost midway through. Such a thinker! Carl f*ing Jung, man!
Channel name checks out!
Gee. I’m thinking furiously here. And grateful that someone thought these thoughts, wrote them down and published them.
Maybe, I understand some of these ideas, more likely I’m pissing in my pocket 😝
“This conflict cannot be solved by an either or but only by a two way thinking. Doing one thing while not loosing the sight of the other!” Doctors who just gives out medication like it’s candy without regard to the complexity of a human, needs to read this book. It’s so irritating to me that we say you have ADHD, here medication. That’s not helping solve the problem by any means. It’s just putting a bandaid on it.
A megaphone for collective opinion is wild! Facts but wild statement!
Excellent. I finally understand!
I truly appreciate your reading of this topic. Work is just better when I can listen to an intereting idea.
Think Neo, Think! > thank you > RESPECT
Unfortunately,we don't think. We have gone as 🐑🐑🐑
