To the *incredible person* seeing this, I wish you all the best in life❤ don't over blame yourself, accept things and go forward. Don't let others define what “success” is for you. Get up, learn the skills needed and get after it, all the keys to a happy life is in your hands. Keep pushing.
For all of those that come here for guidance on your path, know that you are enough no matter where you think you are in whatever map you compare yourself to. I see you, you are another unique version of this infinite universe, you are who you are. much love.
These stages can all be accessed at all times, and will come in and out throughout your life. Don't take this as a road map to life, this is just one man's perspective
Becoming aware of the spirit at the end of your life - I'd see that is quite late. If you incorporate it as soon as you can your life will be a lot more rewarding for you and everyone else.
I just wanted to leave a note and say thank you for such an easy to understand yet narratively and even psychologically informative packed video. This one was done really well and even spoke to me as a 44 year old man today. Thank you.
Hey there! Thanks for sharing this insightful video on Carl Jung's philosophy. It's fascinating to delve into the concept of psychological maturity and how Jung breaks it down into stages like the Athlete, Warrior, Statement, and Spirit. Understanding these stages seems like a key to navigating life's journey. Great find!
I most certainly agree with Jung’s 4 stages of life. I take issue though a little with his definition of the 3rd stage. Most people today could care less about a “legacy “. It’s just hard enough to survive and do whatever you can for your family or whoever in the now. I do agree with the 4th stage and the fact that you have to realize you can’t cling on to anything. Realize your spirituality. For the end is near.
"The qualities of a mature person are very strange. First, he is not a person. He is no longer a self. He has a presence, but he is not a person. Second, he is more like a child...simple and innocent. That’s why I said the qualities of a mature person are very strange, because maturity gives a sense as if he has experienced, as if he is aged, old. Physically he may be old, but spiritually he is an innocent child. His maturity is not just experience gained through life. Then he will not be a child, and then he will not be a presence; he will be an experienced person - knowledgeable but not mature. Maturity has nothing to do with your life experiences. It has something to do with your inward journey, experiences of the inner. The more he goes deeper into himself, the more mature he is. When he has reached the very center of his being, he is perfectly mature. But at that moment the person disappears, only presence remains. The self disappears, only silence remains. Knowledge disappears, only innocence remains. To me, maturity is another name for realization: you have come to the fulfillment of your potential, it has become actual. The seed has come on a long journey, and has blossomed. Maturity has a fragrance. It gives a tremendous beauty to the individual. It gives intelligence, the sharpest possible intelligence. It makes him nothing but love. His action is love, his inaction is love; his life is love, his death is love. He is just a flower of love. The West has definitions of maturity which are very childish. The West means by maturity that you are no longer innocent, that you have ripened through life experiences, that you cannot be cheated easily, that you cannot be exploited, that you have within you something like a solid rock - a protection, a security. This definition is very ordinary, very worldly. Yes, in the world you will find mature people of this type. But the way I see maturity is totally different, diametrically opposite to this definition. The maturity will not make you a rock; it will make you so vulnerable, so soft, so simple. I remember...a thief entered a master’s hut. It was a full-moon night, and by mistake he had entered; otherwise, what can you find in a master’s house? The thief was looking, and was amazed that there was nothing. And then suddenly he saw a man who was coming with a candle in his hand. The man said, “What are you looking for in the dark? Why did you not wake me up? I was just sleeping near the front door, and I could have showed you the whole house.” And the man looked so simple and so innocent, as if he could not conceive that anybody could be a thief. Before his simplicity and innocence, the thief said, “Perhaps you do not know that I am a thief.” The master said, “That doesn’t matter, one has to be someone. The point is that I have been in the house for thirty years and I have not found anything, so let us search together! And if we can find something, we can be partners. I have not found anything in this house; it is just empty.” The thief was a little afraid: the man seems to be strange. Either he is mad or...who knows what kind of man he is? He wanted to escape, because he had brought things from two other houses that he had left outside the house. The master had only one blanket - that was all that he had - and it was a cold night, so he told that thief, “Don’t go this way, don’t insult me this way; otherwise I will never be able to forgive myself, that a poor man came to my house in the middle of the night and had to go empty-handed. Just take this blanket. And it will be good - outside it is so cold. I am inside the house; it is warmer here.” He covered the thief with his blanket. The thief was just losing his mind! He said, “What are you doing? I am a thief!” The master said, “That does not matter. In this world everybody has to be somebody, has to do something. You may be stealing; that doesn’t matter, a profession is a profession. Just do it well, with all my blessings. Do it perfectly, don’t be caught; otherwise you will be in trouble.” The thief said, “You are strange. You are naked and you don’t have anything!” The master said, “Don’t be worried, because I am coming with you! Only the blanket was keeping me in this house; otherwise in this house there is nothing - and the blanket I have given to you. I am coming with you - we will live together. You seem to have many things; it is a good partnership. I have given my all to you. You can give me a little bit; that will be right.” The thief could not believe it! He just wanted to escape from that place and from that man. He said, “No, I cannot take you with me. I have my wife, I have my children, and my neighbors, what will they say? - `You have brought a naked man!’” He said, “That’s right. I will not put you in any embarrassing situation. So you can go, I will remain in this house.” And as the thief was going, the master shouted, “Hey! Come back!” The thief had never heard such a strong voice; it went just like a knife. He had to come back. The master said, “Learn some ways of courtesy. I have given you the blanket and you have not even thanked me. So first, thank me; it will help you a long way. Secondly, going out - you opened the door when you came in - close the door! Can’t you see the night is so cold, and can’t you see that I have given you the blanket and I am naked? Your being a thief is okay, but as far as manners are concerned, I am a difficult man. I cannot tolerate this kind of behavior. Say thank you!” The thief had to say, “Thank you, sir,” and he closed the door and escaped. He could not believe what had happened! He could not sleep the whole night. Again and again he remembered...he had never heard such a strong voice, such power. And the man had nothing! He enquired the next day and he found out that this was a great master. He had not done well. It was absolutely ugly to go to that poor man; he had nothing. But he was a great master. The thief said, “That I can understand myself - that he is a very strange kind of man. In my whole life I have been coming in contact with different kinds of people, from the poorest to the richest, but never... even remembering him, a shivering goes through my body. “When he called me back I could not run away. I was absolutely free, I could have taken the things and run away, but I could not. There was something in his voice that pulled me back.” After a few months the thief was caught, and in the court the magistrate asked him, “Can you name a person who knows you in this vicinity?” He said, “Yes, one person knows me” ...and he named the master. The magistrate said, “That’s enough - call the master. His testimony is worth that of ten thousand people. What he says about you will be enough to give judgment.” The magistrate asked the master, “Do you know this man?” He said, “Know him? We are partners. He is my friend. He even visited me one night in the middle of the night. It was so cold that I gave him my blanket. He is using it, you can see. That blanket is famous all over the country; everybody knows it is mine.” The magistrate said, “He is your friend? And does he steal?” The master said, “Never! He can never steal. He is such a gentleman that when I gave him the blanket he said to me, `Thank you, sir.’ When he went out of the house, he silently closed the doors. He is a very polite, nice fellow.” The magistrate said, “If you say so, then all the testimonies of the witnesses who have said that he is a thief are cancelled. He is freed.” The master went out and the thief followed him. The master said, “What are you doing? Why are you coming with me?” He said, “Now I can never leave you. You have called me your friend, you have called me your partner. Nobody has ever given me any respect. You are the first person who has said that I am a gentleman, a nice person. I am going to sit at your feet and learn how to be like you. From where have you got this maturity, this power, this strength, this seeing of things in a totally different way?” The master said, “Do you know that night how bad I felt? You had gone; it was so cold. Without a blanket sleep was not possible. I was just sitting by the window seeing the full moon, and I wrote a poem: `If I was rich enough I would have given this perfect moon to that poor fellow, who had come in the dark to search for something in a poor man’s house. I would have given the moon if I had been rich enough, but I am poor myself.’ I will show you the poem, come with me. “I wept that night, that thieves should learn a few things. At least they should inform a day or two ahead when they come to a man like me, so we can arrange something, so they don’t have to go empty-handed. “It is good that you remembered me in the court; otherwise those fellows are dangerous, they may have mistreated you. I offered that very night to come with you and be partners with you, but you refused. Now you want... There is no problem, you can come. Whatever I have I will share with you. But it is not material: it is something invisible.” The thief said, “That I can feel; it is something invisible. But you have saved my life, and now it is yours. Make whatever you want to make of it. I have been simply wasting it. Seeing you, looking in your eyes, one thing is certain - that you can transform me. I have fallen in love from that very night."
Cheat code: become a spiritual seeker (or better a "finder" (i.e. an enlightened being)) when you are young, don't wait till you are old. You will be free from suffering and relaxed af for the rest of your life
What I love about educational videos such as this is when the subject is explained so clearly that all that it does is remind you of what you already know but couldn't get your thoughts focused for whatever reason. I shared this video with my mom who doesn't really pay attention to philosophy or anything and I can imagine her mind listening to this video and reflecting upon her own life with this internal quiet aha moment.
You don't necessarily have to wait until you become of old age in order to enter the spirit stage of your life, since (higher) awareness can emerge in any moment, especially when very suddenly one has to face hardships that seem almost impossible to overcome at first glance. Overcoming these obstacles can drastically help one reach psychological maturity way earlier than outlined in this video, depending on how resilient and flexible one is.
Eytsch; I think many agree with this. I can only think that Jung himself knew too. Maybe because it is not easy to point out side-steps without going deeper, or here for it starts at the foundation. I don't recall if Jung did mention it - it needs to mention: those stages can come in so many multifaceted different time-lines in one's Life.
I feel like am at the athlete's stage at 26. In fact I haven't even come close to mastering the athlete's stage. I'm so emotionally vulnerable it's insane. I've got an appointment with a Jungian analyst on Sunday, I hope it goes well. Love to all.
I’d be interested to hear how it goes. I don’t think I’ve done any of life in the order they suggest in this video, but I can’t say my life is a failure at 49 either and only that I’ve done my best with the education I was given and stumbled across. The world is a different place since Jung designed his model for life. Whether for better or worse changes are speeding up and society is chaotically changing career trajectories. I hope your Jungian Analyst is appreciative of the changes we are coping with too. Go well.
I keep telling myself I’ll wake up early tomorrow to hit the gym but I end up hitting the snooze instead. I can’t overcome this, it’s a huge obstacle in my maturity. My will is weak. I seek comfort instead of growth.
I love these videos! This one in particular is super useful! I’ve been reading some Jung over the last year but this concise summary is priceless! Hats off to the researcher/presenter 🙏🏻 love and peace to you all
He is the most inspiring person I have ever met, I listen to a lot of his stories. Those shares changed me a lot for the better when I heard those profound shares from him
my life in every phase I behaved well maturely ,because I have the complete clarity on my own way ,your focus towards your life is most important, then focusing other's life's, one must have the complete ability indivient control system over your body energy's and thought process our activities is most important, you can shake entire world ,sky is the only limitation not person's. Complete soul maturity.
Thankfully I happened to watch this video ... I could find myself in the warrior stage now and also could see my closed once in early stage of immaturity whom I can guide now. This is exactly how we can relate with wat happens with us. Great analysis of life and I specifically liked the way we are compared with the Sun ☀️ at different stages of the day. It's important to accept ourselves the way we are and get awakened.
How does one recover from losing the person one loves? Left me low in self-confidence and without faith in the world. I lost self-respect, so struggling to get to self-love. A long journey probably. At 36 I’m just impatient. I really thought I’d found the love of my life; a blow to my neural net.
I have personally Never tried to falsely "change myself" in order to accomplish a "goal" like a girlfriend or U name it actually. I have ADHD and it may be a part of the reason, because i just CAN'T fake my personality really,period. There is NO way i would "Act" as someone else when i already know how and who i am. I am Daniel Engqvist, overly altruistic, often easily used by others, determined,humoristic(you can't even imagine), compassionate(helping snails cross the sidewalk and so on), SUPER tolerant to public harassment, "Fatherly" and so on. But i learned it The hard way really, and i actually can't really think of/imagine another way to learn it. So Just be YOU and stick with it but with an open mind with no fear of the constant change that is actually going on all our life because it will go on until you leave this place. Psychedelics can also help but that is only for grown ups(catch 22). Cheers from Daniel/Sweden. I hope some of this can help you understand something about what it means to be "mature".(I am Eccentric yes)
Very interesting. I think my warrior and statement ohases ran in parallel which caused me a lot of confusion as to who I was and what I wanted in life. Im biw 56 and I think I have in the last couple of years begun to enter the final spirit stage and I hope I can live it for 30 years

Jung was right. He spoke about a right way. But today time have changed. There is not work, relationships are broken and its strong the meaningless of life. Jung thinks from phycology and the individual, not social reality. This last one is empirical and conflictive, not therical.
Spirit stage is not bound to happen in old age. People in their 20s and 30s can realise that. In fact it’s best to realise you are more than your body early in life.
Well explained video, thank you. I am surprised, though, that a channel of such quality has put out a video with so many spelling mistakes. The content is definitely worth listening to.
Thank you so much for creating this video, it is absolutely 100% what I needed to hear tonight to help my mind in what I am now in the warrior stage grow even further.
I recommend you to stop trying and pick up a new choice. Focus on wat you love to do rather struggling to master wat your dislike the most. Let the love come to you in the best form & best time.
You are not weak in building healthy relationships with the people but you don't find who deserves your relationship. I am here and I like to know other people from the other cultures. Could you be one of my dear persons
Very interesting…although so very “modern” that one wonders if this is what Jung observed. For example: When I was young (1960s) it was not unusual to see middle-class families where the couple had met in their late teens…perhaps in college…married and started a family while still presumably at the start of their “warrior (career building) stage”. Many colleges and universities built “married student housing” complete with family oriented amenities. For most of human history couples would form and begin creating family units during teen years. In my own Catholic vocational boys high school, a number of kids got married and started family before they even hit their 20s. I am sure Jung encounters Swiss building trade apprentices who already had started families…while perhaps still living with one of the spouses parents. Perhaps…these 4 stages are ALWAYS present in our lives in one form or another…at least by puberty…and that the mark of maturity is a matter of emphasis and management throughout our lives. For example: An adult may need to re-enter a sort-of warrior stage at age 50 when faced with the need to transition to a new career. Meanwhile they must do this amidst the a stage in life where they are expecting to display wisdom borne of experience, love and empathy. I know it’s a cliché but in many respects life IS a journey with what might include several sunrises, noons and sunsets…and not all in that same sequence.
Being mature you don't have wrinkle and forget to smile otherwise you lose brain balance. Don't be obsessive with maturity otherwise you'll be mature enough to create your own punishment like what they taught you if you fail.
Also treated an alcoholic that was good friends with Bill Wilson founder of alcoholics anonymous his explanation is must have a spiritual experience or awaking to get sober also says the phenomenon of craving is what an alcoholic has while suffering from an obsession that leads to destruction basically an alcoholic can never drink successfully again without severe consequences
I listened till the end to see what is the spiritual stage looks like by Karl yung , as I am soon will start this stage , and looking for information how to pass it wisely . Thanks I enjoyed it ,
Jung's philosophy sounds like the Hindu Vedic view of the ashramas (stages of life) and the collective unconscious like the Upanisadic Brahman that inspired Schopenhauer so much.
I personally think the idea of the "legacy" is crafted in the mind by the collective unconscious and comes from a certain level of immaturity that replicates the athlete stage during the mid-life existencial crisis. Wanting to repeat or re-live our life through replicas instead of working on the acceptance of the end of the life, is selfish. It's no different to try and numb feelings by abusing alcohol, drugs, sex, etc. Biology to the side, if the psychological need for reproduction comes from the need to leave a legacy, it becomes a burden for the new borns, creating a cyclical pattern which can be avoided by making peace with the shadow and reject the need for the "legacy"; rather, accepting the end of life as a perk of existence. Legacy or not.
Exactly true Ive had that realization and acceptance, Im currently 24 but when i was 23 had somewhat of a quarter life existential crisis due to my consumption of my alcohol and drugs, and I came to that realization that we're not gonna live forever so might as well accept it and not be bothered by things we shouldnt worry about or that is out of our hands.
Thank you for the insightful and scholarly videos. Thy works are much appreciated. My Christ self bless your Christ self and everyone here. May you live a freely, truthful, truest life.
These stages are incredibly outdated and resembles a time period where this was the norm. We have grown past this in a manner that I don't believe Carl Jung could have imagined. These stages are not linear and the way they're put together in this video shows them that way, it's just not how the world works anymore. When making these videos, I think we need to mention things like this and try to reimagine what is being taught with relevance to modern times.
How do you know that it’s not the right thing? Maybe that’s why everyone is so lost these days, we have lost the truth. Maybe due to technology, social media, or privilege.
Wheras I agree with some of Jung concepts, others where used to adjust the individual to society (have a job and comply or you're not 'normal'). Dangerous to take it as a dogma.

To me, maturity is another name for realization: you have come to the fulfillment of your potential, it has become actual. The seed has come on a long journey, and has blossomed.

He said, “Now I can never leave you. You have called me your friend, you have called me your partner. Nobody has ever given me any respect. You are the first person who has said that I am a gentleman, a nice person. I am going to sit at your feet and learn how to be like you. From where have you got this maturity, this power, this strength, this seeing of things in a totally different way?”
The master said, “Do you know that night how bad I felt? You had gone; it was so cold. Without a blanket sleep was not possible. I was just sitting by the window seeing the full moon, and I wrote a poem: `If I was rich enough I would have given this perfect moon to that poor fellow, who had come in the dark to search for something in a poor man’s house. I would have given the moon if I had been rich enough, but I am poor myself.’ I will show you the poem, come with me.
“I wept that night, that thieves should learn a few things. At least they should inform a day or two ahead when they come to a man like me, so we can arrange something, so they don’t have to go empty-handed.
“It is good that you remembered me in the court; otherwise those fellows are dangerous, they may have mistreated you. I offered that very night to come with you and be partners with you, but you refused. Now you want... There is no problem, you can come. Whatever I have I will share with you. But it is not material: it is something invisible.”
The thief said, “That I can feel; it is something invisible. But you have saved my life, and now it is yours. Make whatever you want to make of it. I have been simply wasting it. Seeing you, looking in your eyes, one thing is certain - that you can transform me. I have fallen in love from that very night."

Cheat code: become a spiritual seeker (or better a "finder" (i.e. an enlightened being)) when you are young, don't wait till you are old. You will be free from suffering and relaxed af for the rest of your life
i wanted to write the same hah🙏😊
You will be free from being able to look after yourself and your family. Watch the video again.
This was a very powerful video. It really explains life as a human being. I am in the spirit stage of my life.
Wow this really relates. I seem to be half in the spirit stage already, but I'm only 41. Anyone else feel in a similar phase? 🤔
Athlete here
What I love about educational videos such as this is when the subject is explained so clearly that all that it does is remind you of what you already know but couldn't get your thoughts focused for whatever reason.
I shared this video with my mom who doesn't really pay attention to philosophy or anything and I can imagine her mind listening to this video and reflecting upon her own life with this internal quiet aha moment.
I think I am in the transitioning stage between the warrior and statement. I'ts like I'm standing with one foot in each stage right now.
... Very nice. Thank you.... I'm 81, and I work every day on getting cannabis legalized for everyone.
thank you for your efforts
You don't necessarily have to wait until you become of old age in order to enter the spirit stage of your life, since (higher) awareness can emerge in any moment, especially when very suddenly one has to face hardships that seem almost impossible to overcome at first glance. Overcoming these obstacles can drastically help one reach psychological maturity way earlier than outlined in this video, depending on how resilient and flexible one is.
Eytsch; I think many agree with this. I can only think that Jung himself knew too. Maybe because it is not easy to point out side-steps without going deeper, or here for it starts at the foundation. I don't recall if Jung did mention it - it needs to mention: those stages can come in so many multifaceted different time-lines in one's Life.
Thankyou so much..this presentation of the information in this video makes it easy for anybody to gain insight and wisdom...
😌
Thanks that was really good
Your story is very meaningful. I will listen to all the videos you shared. It's very meaningful. It's wonderful to hear them.
I feel like am at the athlete's stage at 26. In fact I haven't even come close to mastering the athlete's stage. I'm so emotionally vulnerable it's insane. I've got an appointment with a Jungian analyst on Sunday, I hope it goes well. Love to all.
I’d be interested to hear how it goes.
I don’t think I’ve done any of life in the order they suggest in this video, but I can’t say my life is a failure at 49 either and only that I’ve done my best with the education I was given and stumbled across. The world is a different place since Jung designed his model for life. Whether for better or worse changes are speeding up and society is chaotically changing career trajectories. I hope your Jungian Analyst is appreciative of the changes we are coping with too. Go well.
Trust me, I'm turning 30 and know exactly what you feel.
Never stop learning…because life never stops teaching.
I keep telling myself I’ll wake up early tomorrow to hit the gym but I end up hitting the snooze instead. I can’t overcome this, it’s a huge obstacle in my maturity. My will is weak. I seek comfort instead of growth.
all too usual for any human being. But you CAN make the skip, JUST DO IT. Or wait till you have suffered enough, that always works.
Do a divide and conquer strategy, you aren't god you shouldn't try to change too much all at the same time
So you like laying in a warm bed, so ride ur bike to work
I just got psychology of the unconscious a week ago from my school library lol
You are what you do, not what you say you will do.
I appreciate the works and philosphy, psychology of Carl Jung. Thanks for this concise video. Very impressive.
I love these videos! This one in particular is super useful! I’ve been reading some Jung over the last year but this concise summary is priceless! Hats off to the researcher/presenter 🙏🏻 love and peace to you all
That was one of the most useful videos of my life.
When we see every phase of our life imperimence,every sec going to change then automatically will become a high-level mature person's.
He is the most inspiring person I have ever met, I listen to a lot of his stories. Those shares changed me a lot for the better when I heard those profound shares from him
This video showed in numbers how much i have left to learn
I’m tired of being annoying and want to change! Thanks so much!
my life in every phase I behaved well maturely ,because I have the complete clarity on my own way ,your focus towards your life is most important, then focusing other's life's, one must have the complete ability indivient control system over your body energy's and thought process our activities is most important, you can shake entire world ,sky is the only limitation not person's. Complete soul maturity.
One of the best videos I’ve ever seen. Truly marvellous. Congratulations!
یہ ایک قابل ذکر حقیقت ہے کہ مکمل طور پر انا سے جینے والی زندگی نہ صرف خود انسان کے لیے بھی مدھم ہوتی ہے۔ لیکن تمام متعلقہ افراد کے لیے
thank you. !
19:13 that song, "the return to innocence", always makes me cry, as it is about exactly this
1) Athlete
2) WARRIOR
3) statement
4) spirit (leave it for later years)
Thankfully I happened to watch this video ... I could find myself in the warrior stage now and also could see my closed once in early stage of immaturity whom I can guide now. This is exactly how we can relate with wat happens with us. Great analysis of life and I specifically liked the way we are compared with the Sun ☀️ at different stages of the day. It's important to accept ourselves the way we are and get awakened.
How does one recover from losing the person one loves? Left me low in self-confidence and without faith in the world. I lost self-respect, so struggling to get to self-love. A long journey probably. At 36 I’m just impatient. I really thought I’d found the love of my life; a blow to my neural net.
I have personally Never tried to falsely "change myself" in order to accomplish a "goal" like a girlfriend or U name it actually. I have ADHD and it may be a part of the reason, because i just CAN'T fake my personality really,period. There is NO way i would "Act" as someone else when i already know how and who i am. I am Daniel Engqvist, overly altruistic, often easily used by others, determined,humoristic(you can't even imagine), compassionate(helping snails cross the sidewalk and so on), SUPER tolerant to public harassment, "Fatherly" and so on. But i learned it The hard way really, and i actually can't really think of/imagine another way to learn it. So Just be YOU and stick with it but with an open mind with no fear of the constant change that is actually going on all our life because it will go on until you leave this place. Psychedelics can also help but that is only for grown ups(catch 22).
Cheers from Daniel/Sweden. I hope some of this can help you understand something about what it means to be "mature".(I am Eccentric yes)
The moment I started life I became mature when I came to the conclusion god is a spirit.
Thank You for this. I do love him for years.
I'm shocked that as a 16 yrs old I can see myself being in Half Way of The Statement stage... I guess i still have a long way to go
This is so good.Thank you
Very interesting. I think my warrior and statement ohases ran in parallel which caused me a lot of confusion as to who I was and what I wanted in life.
Im biw 56 and I think I have in the last couple of years begun to enter the final spirit stage and I hope I can live it for 30 years
Never had a relationship, no opportunity to grow, so I fall back into ego at 36. Can't wait anymore
@@Campfire30 why tho, I am the same intelligent person I've always been. I've been growing my whole life, far more than most. But if people can't see past my the fact I am only 5 foot 4 what's the point.
@@jamesbyrne9312
You're taller than I am.
@@somethingyousaid5059 yeah but I also trump you with having scoliosis hahaha. Either way thanks for replying tho
@@jamesbyrne9312
I had a hernia a couple of years ago that I had to have surgery for. Does that beat your scoliosis? No, no doubt it doesn't.
Hey man, I'm sorry that you have that problem. Is it S shaped or C shaped (or do you not want to say?).
@@somethingyousaid5059 it's s shaped, severe, but I am able to be active as the top and bottom align. I am actually fitter than most people my age so I try to compensate for it
Every body should have tha highest maturity in their soul level beyond all the famous psychological evaluations, and psychologists.
Already signed up to Morning Brew. Thanks so much, your words are always inspiring.
Jung was right. He spoke about a right way. But today time have changed. There is not work, relationships are broken and its strong the meaningless of life. Jung thinks from phycology and the individual, not social reality. This last one is empirical and conflictive, not therical.
I love it when my mates rip the crap out of me it shows how much they care I don't start crying about it like this guy says you should!
Jung and Nietszche are my favorite philosophers.
The presentation of the video its very well made, great development and organization of the subjects
A True Genius. Thank you.
Gloria in Excelsis Deo!
Thank you, interesting material
Your voice is very soothing and mesmerizing 🥰😍
This is really helpful and wise. You reminded me of Jung. Thank you a million.
Spirit stage is not bound to happen in old age.
People in their 20s and 30s can realise that.
In fact it’s best to realise you are more than your body early in life.
Well explained video, thank you.
I am surprised, though, that a channel of such quality has put out a video with so many spelling mistakes.
The content is definitely worth listening to.
Thanks for this, lovely
What got me through 30 yrs in the education system in America do as little as you can get away with as much as you can!!!
Thank you so much for creating this video, it is absolutely 100% what I needed to hear tonight to help my mind in what I am now in the warrior stage grow even further.
I struggle with all of this 😩. What do you do when you can't build a relationship with people. I've been struggling for 16 years.
I recommend you to stop trying and pick up a new choice. Focus on wat you love to do rather struggling to master wat your dislike the most. Let the love come to you in the best form & best time.
You are not weak in building healthy relationships with the people but you don't find who deserves your relationship. I am here and I like to know other people from the other cultures. Could you be one of my dear persons
Powerful video.
Very interesting…although so very “modern” that one wonders if this is what Jung observed. For example: When I was young (1960s) it was not unusual to see middle-class families where the couple had met in their late teens…perhaps in college…married and started a family while still presumably at the start of their “warrior (career building) stage”. Many colleges and universities built “married student housing” complete with family oriented amenities. For most of human history couples would form and begin creating family units during teen years. In my own Catholic vocational boys high school, a number of kids got married and started family before they even hit their 20s. I am sure Jung encounters Swiss building trade apprentices who already had started families…while perhaps still living with one of the spouses parents.
Perhaps…these 4 stages are ALWAYS present in our lives in one form or another…at least by puberty…and that the mark of maturity is a matter of emphasis and management throughout our lives. For example: An adult may need to re-enter a sort-of warrior stage at age 50 when faced with the need to transition to a new career. Meanwhile they must do this amidst the a stage in life where they are expecting to display wisdom borne of experience, love and empathy.
I know it’s a cliché but in many respects life IS a journey with what might include several sunrises, noons and sunsets…and not all in that same sequence.
Don't judge a book by their cover, but by the pages that reside
Being mature you don't have wrinkle and forget to smile otherwise you lose brain balance. Don't be obsessive with maturity otherwise you'll be mature enough to create your own punishment like what they taught you if you fail.
Ýes help me transcend my ego and develop a hi dose of realism
Realy great!
Going to the nearest bridge after watching this video.
fantastic!!! a lot thanks!
Also treated an alcoholic that was good friends with Bill Wilson founder of alcoholics anonymous his explanation is must have a spiritual experience or awaking to get sober also says the phenomenon of craving is what an alcoholic has while suffering from an obsession that leads to destruction basically an alcoholic can never drink successfully again without severe consequences
great video
I listened till the end to see what is the spiritual stage looks like by Karl yung , as I am soon will start this stage , and looking for information how to pass it wisely .
Thanks I enjoyed it ,
Thank you!
This is a great video. Please hire an editor. The misspelled words are a distraction for very important information.
Yesterday when I was Jung.
How to become psychologically mature...
Rule #1: Smoke a pipe.
Rule #2: Look over the top of your glasses with a stern and serious facial expression.
Thank you.
Jung's philosophy sounds like the Hindu Vedic view of the ashramas (stages of life) and the collective unconscious like the Upanisadic Brahman that inspired Schopenhauer so much.
I personally think the idea of the "legacy" is crafted in the mind by the collective unconscious and comes from a certain level of immaturity that replicates the athlete stage during the mid-life existencial crisis. Wanting to repeat or re-live our life through replicas instead of working on the acceptance of the end of the life, is selfish. It's no different to try and numb feelings by abusing alcohol, drugs, sex, etc. Biology to the side, if the psychological need for reproduction comes from the need to leave a legacy, it becomes a burden for the new borns, creating a cyclical pattern which can be avoided by making peace with the shadow and reject the need for the "legacy"; rather, accepting the end of life as a perk of existence. Legacy or not.
Exactly true Ive had that realization and acceptance, Im currently 24 but when i was 23 had somewhat of a quarter life existential crisis due to my consumption of my alcohol and drugs, and I came to that realization that we're not gonna live forever so might as well accept it and not be bothered by things we shouldnt worry about or that is out of our hands.
Thank you
Remember reading Jung thirty-something years ago but I didn't know then how wrong he was in so many things.
Thanks
Thank you for the insightful and scholarly videos. Thy works are much appreciated. My Christ self bless your Christ self and everyone here. May you live a freely, truthful, truest life.
These stages are incredibly outdated and resembles a time period where this was the norm. We have grown past this in a manner that I don't believe Carl Jung could have imagined. These stages are not linear and the way they're put together in this video shows them that way, it's just not how the world works anymore. When making these videos, I think we need to mention things like this and try to reimagine what is being taught with relevance to modern times.
How do you know that it’s not the right thing? Maybe that’s why everyone is so lost these days, we have lost the truth. Maybe due to technology, social media, or privilege.
Thanks you very much 🥰🥰🥰🥰😍😁
Jung rocks 😊🤟🏾
1:10 in to this video "Cultural Expreiences" might need an edit. Cheers.
Yes
This video is unwatchable because of all the ads. Are you on any other platforms?
So if you screw up one of the stages, are you done for?
Hi, in regard of the subject your are describing which book(s) of C G Jung would you recommand to read?
Who cares about legacy, we will all be forgotten within three generations.
I am More of a Frederick Niche kind of guy ( existentialism )
Wheras I agree with some of Jung concepts, others where used to adjust the individual to society (have a job and comply or you're not 'normal'). Dangerous to take it as a dogma.
