In a large way, Jung began a very lengthy journey of discovery for me and I'm forever grateful. I am also grateful for this channel doing such a solid job, minus personal dialogue, Jungs work minus a Narrators two cents. Thisbis one of thebonly channels I've heard that does it justice and the "War Prayer," absolutely fantastic!
Childhood is not paradise. But the pain and confusion we experience as children are assuaged by the vitality of our youthful cells. We heal faster, and have not yet been conditioned by reality to expect pain and suffering as inevitable constants that will inevitably destroy us. But as we age and learn, we lose this resiliency gradually and become malformed by adverse events, until we must conclude that perfection is not attainable and our fate is not under our own control, neither is it managed by a God who sees fit to spare us from temporal adversity. Reason demands that adults acknowledge their constitutive slavery to sin, sickness, accident, and death; which transforms our perspective so that the childhood we left behind seems like a more comfortable condition,. but it was not. So I would not say that early childhood is a recapitulation of paradise. But perhaps within us is an expectation of being born into paradise, a vestigial archetype that would have been appropriate if Adam had not fallen and cast us all into the valley of the shadow of death. Mankind originally had a congenital fitness for paradise; yet the world we are born into is not the paradise for which we were engineered biologically and psychologically, nor do these mortal fallen bodies function as they must in order for us to experience the fullness of life that we can imagine but cannot obtain "here." Yet when the archetype of original sin, the transgression in paradise, breaches our consciousness, we find it explanatory. Some of us believe the factual history of it, others who deny the Word of God mutate it in various ways (e.g., by pretending it is a metaphor for a persons' experience in their own childhood', rather than the childhood of our species as a whole). The bottom line is that we have help from heaven in understanding our existence, but due to the presence of sin and the influence of deceiving spirits, we cannot trust anyone but God himself to inform us with certainty that He Is.

To all those who are causing suffering in this world, directly or indirectly: Heed your dreams at night, those nightmares that you most assuredly are having are imploring you to change -before it’s too late… The quality of our dreams is both a reflection of our thoughts and actions as well as a general foreshadowing of the fate of our souls in the next life...A nightly, temporary karma that beckons us to change - for the good - so as to avoid a more permanent karma❤️🔥 Beauty(🌷)+Complexity(🌎) =Intent(❤️) The Figure 8 Analogy: An analogy on life, death, the dream-state and the symbolism intertwined within the human experience. We human beings are not traveling in the abstract motion of a straight line towards death (for instance, the numerical straight line of say 1-89). Instead, we are moving in the motion of a figure 8. The Figure 8 is a natural repeating pattern that is divided into two halves and is thus the perfect symbol to represent the human life cycle and our two primary states of existence that we are continuously moving in and out of -the Awake state and the Dream state. When we awake from sleep we come full circle to when we fall back asleep (represented by the bottom half of the figure 8 )and when we go into the dream state we come full circle to when we awake from the dream state (represented by the top half of the figure 8 ). Upon death; the figure 8 of life untwines, but it’s not the body untwining from the mind that this analogy represents. It's two states of mind untwining to form a larger state of mind. (8-0) Because the awake state is really a state -of mind, with our body's physical reality "consciously" intertwined; and the dream-state is also a state of mind, with our body's physical reality "subconsciously" intertwined. Therefore; upon death, these two states of mind untwine to form a “larger” state of mind. A state that has all the potentialities of the dream world (flying, telepathy, psychokinesis, etc) combined with all the actualities of the awake world(nature, form, bonds, etc). This I refer to as the transitional analogy. While conceiving The Figure 8 Analogy, I realized life and death must be perceived -from one point of view- as seperate entities(the transitional analogy(8-0), but must also be perceived -from another point of view- as inseparable entities(the symbolic analogy👇), both of which are ultimately linked by the dream-state. The symbolic analogy consists of the untwined figure 8 of life/the 'circle of death’, if you will, which -abstractly- overlapps the ‘circle of life’/the Earth, with the overlappment representing the dream-state, like the common area in a venn diagram, and implies that the dream state is just as much a part of life as is of death ~by which semi-explains precognitive dreams, prodromal dreams, "visitations" by deceased relatives, etc; for the dream-state has a foothold in the afterlife, and is based on the premise that “while our body sleeps, our dream state symbolically represents the state that awaits upon our body's ultimate rest.” In other words, while we are lying down and sleeping/dreaming, this natural process symbolizes where we go when we're ultimately lying down/dead -to a place "like" our dream-state...A state "of mind” with our body's physical form+bonds eternally engrained and intertwined. ✋🏿🍃👁~8~👁🍃🤚🏻
To live is to strife. To strife is not to suffer. Make your choices because there are always consequences. There are always problems too, after all even being someone else’s problem is a problem. Who knows what’s in the unconscious?

Such powerful words. It was a great experience listening to Jung's thoughts.
Thank you very much.
The perfect psychology for the last stage.
