As far as I understand, Jung's idea of the Self is the same as the Vedic Atman, the "God within". The Vedas are much more clear about the relationship between Atman-Brahman however...I don't know if Jung really believed in a Supreme Source. But I'm not a Jungian, so I may have missed something 🙂
@howlinthewilderness Thanks for the prompt reply! I will get back to you on this after reading up a bit more, both Jung and the Upanishads. To give context, I am a somewhat practicing Shakta Hindu and a beginner foraying into Jungian studies.
This is such an interesting conversation, as always.
@@ant_ace thanks Anthony
I stayed on a house boat in Kashmir in 2003. Michael Palin was there at the same time.
To clarify: Jung called the "supreme source" as the self?
