      @Academy of Ideas Great information, but you're reading far too quickly for material of this complexity. This is unpleasant because it doesn't allow the viewer to fully grok the meaning without stopping periodically to rewind. This unpleasantness will certainly decrease your views/subscribes. Keep up the good work, but without the rush. Think graceful, perhaps stately.

      @fynes leigh what you mean is, the discovery of what's behind those masks demands the hardest work one can do; to focus entirely on the self with no distraction.
      although everybody knows that there is divinity even in just pursuing this goal; most people will choose to dream and repress their guilt about it and hope some kind of god (actually any higher level of consciousness to believe it exists) will forgive them and bring salvation.
      from time to time this belief shutters, and it is the moment where we can finally start working hard, but we will lose focus again, through stimulants that other people (or people in our minds) call us back in.

    Some succint bullet points to analyze:
    - There's more to our beings and to whom we are than just our Persona, the mask we socially project.
    - There's more to know about ourselves and our unconscious than just what the Ego knows.
    - Accepting one's shadow is crucial to a better development of the Self, withdrawing qualities that are hidden and repressed that one wishes to integrate within us in a healthier way and are dying to come out.
    - What we look for in a lover, friend or family member of the opposite sex is possibly a reflection of our Anima/Animus. But I'm still digesting this one out, I suspect most our 'crushes' are overlapping in qualities with our own Anima/Animus, thus we draw ourselves to those people.
    - The true self is a never ending journey of alignment and acceptance and even self-awareness of all these bullet points and more.

I don't follow the band but, now that you tell me this, i think (whether unintentionally or not) the band is doing a good job introduction their fans to more serious topics and noteworthy philosophers. Most of the band's fans may be young, but when they grasp the meaning of these concepts (shadow, ego, and self), I think they'll find that these concepts are very useful tools in viewing the world. I encourage them to read more of carl jung's works about the shadow, anima/animus etc. Hopefully, when the young fans are grown, they can see why societies become polarized, and why extremists and dictators rise. And I also hope that, by reading these kind of works, they may also be equiped in fully realizing themselves

They're interpreting it in their own way, how they came this far in 7 years, the personas they created, their own shadows which clashes with their inner self and how they overcome this and how they embrace it all and move forward. In the album they question their identities, their purpose now they've come this far, their love and passion for their art, their love for their fans, the painful cage(?) behind all the smiles and cheers onstage, etc. It very much resonates with the Jungian psychology.

    "Individuation means becoming a single, homogeneous being, and, insofar as individuality embraces our innermost, last, and incomparable uniqueness, it also implies becoming one's own self. We could therefore translate individuation as coming to self-hood or self-realization."

    When I was a young man , returning to my home town after travelling for more than a year, I really noticed the " persona" many of my schoolmates had adopted since beginning their careers. In some cases it was quite shocking ,how quickly they had changed so much. At the time I knew nothing about Jung , but I thought of it as a " mask" they had adopted. Jung is definitely one of the most important shaman of our times ,I would suggest

      Be careful when analyzing other people. Maybe who they were in high school was the true persona. Or, maybe they actually did change in a short period of time. The transition to adulthood is a big one and is normal to change drastically. I find more productive to use Jung's teachings inwards. It's hard to even know ourselves. It's generally unproductive to guess what's going on through other people's journey.

    Psyche = One's total individual personality
    Conscious vs Unconscious
    Ego (center of consciousness) vs Realm (center of being/ the sensed universe)
    Personal (repressed elements) vs Collective (instincts + archetypes)
    Archetypes = evolved cognitive structures which influence emotions, thoughts, and behaviors
    Harmony in balance. Inflation and deflation are bad. Balance and Harmony is Good.
    Dreams are a doorway to the unconscious realm. We can use dreams to our advantage and optimize our discussions about our dreams to make the best use of them. Dreams are pure nature and i regularly use the pos-hypnotic suggestion with my clients telling them that their dreams will continue to do the great work for them every time they sleep. I also teach them how to think better. I usually start with a demo about the value of mental rehearsal which I learnt from Tony Robbins. Doing things help you appreciate the value behind accepting new learning. Once you've measured your own success after applying this simple set of instructions you will know why it is important to always start with positive mental rehearsal.
    You will need a paper and pen.
    Draw 4 text boxes at each corner of your paper
    Label the boxes like this :
    1- Potential
    2- Action
    3- Result
    4- Certainty or Belief
    Connect the boxes in numerical order with arrows from the 1st box to the 4th box
    If you want better results would you aim for:
    1- How would you increase your potential? Are you God?
    2- How would you get yourself to act better? Consistency is key. You cant wait to just feel like it one day can you?
    3- Do you know how to get better results? Have you any idea how you would measure your desired outcomes? Have you recognised any undesirable outcomes you'd rather not repeat?
    4- What about certainty? How can you be certain if its possible you dont even know? First you do and then you know; right?
    So heres how Tony taught me to demonstrate the power of mental rehearsal:
    When youre ready for change, the best place to start is your mind. Build certainty in the journey you are about to embark on. Mentally rehearse doing what you will do and do it well at least three times before doing it. In order to better understand what i mean, prepare yourself for an experiment and familiarise yourself with the following instructions:
    1. Stand feet together pointing forward
    2. Raise your right arm and extend your pointing finger forward
    3. Without moving your legs; twist as far as you are comfortable doing so to your right and memorise the spot in your space that you happen to be pointing at.
    This is your baseline or initial measure. It is important when carrying out experiments to keep in mind the acronym TOTE. TOTE means to TEST first, then to OPERATE your experimental intervention before TESTING again in order to EXIT your experiment. You need a baseline measure and an outcome measure in order to call anything you do an experiment.
    1-Test for baseline
    2-Operate experimental intervention
    3-Test for resulting outcomes
    4-Exit experiment
    The most effective level of intervention is at the level of certainty. To do so you only need to use your imagination so close your eyes and dont move your body while doing this first mental rehearsal.
    Imagine standing feet together pointing forward
    Imagine raising your arm and pointing forward
    Imagine twisting to your right and passing your initial point
    Imagine you look like its the easiest most fun thing to do in the world as you do it
    Then Imagine twisting back in order to start over with another mental rehearsal
    Start at the beginning; imagine your feet
    Imagine raising your arm and pointing your pointing finger forward
    Then Imagine Twisting to your right and going further, so much further, at least twice as far!
    And notice that it looks easy and fun
    Then Imagine twisting back in to start the next mental rehearsal
    Start at the beginning and imagine your feet
    Then Imagine yourself raising your arm and pointing forwards
    And twist to the right and keep twisting and twisting like a rubber band
    All the way round and round again and again as you notice yourself enjoying yourself as you do
    Then twist back and open your eyes for the final test of this experiment.
    This time test your body. How much further did you twist this time? Couldn't you have gone that far from the very beginning? How much better were your results after you had done at least 3 mental rehearsals before attempting the "real thing"?
    Please find me and follow me and tell me what happened for you!

    I hope the academy of ideas covers some topic on Hindu/Buddhist (Eastern Philosophy)
    Jung reads just like the Mandukya Upanishad. Similarly Nietzsche's work wa influenced by Schopenhauer who in turn was influenced by Indian texts.
    When Swami Vivekananda addressed his lectures in the west in 1890s, his audience were T.S.Eliot,Sigmund Freud, Nikola Tesla, Alan Watts,Christopher Isherwood, Romain Rolland etc. Even Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a translation from Sri Aurbindo's planes and parts of being.
    And earlier both Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson never denied theinfluence of Hindu philosophy in their outlooks and legacy.
    The whole of Psychology stands on the back of the Upanishads.
    I hope India's contribution is duly appreciated some time.

      The kpop boyband that your niece always listens to is called BTS. They always give deep meanings or theories into the lyrics of their songs, choreographies and MV's that connects with their storyline. They are finally ending the "love yourself" era and starting in a new era called "Map of the soul persona". Also this is why so many ARMYs are watching this vid because they are trying to understand the whole new era for the theories in their storyline.

      In my experience, you may directly confront your personal unconscious even if it is displeasing. You’ll realize parts of yourself that may have been long forgotten but still contributing to your thoughts and actions of now. Realizing the better and worse parts of your self in conscience and unconsciousness allows you to more appropriately address any perceived flaws and strengths of yourself, as well as bridging your mind even further.

    It seems that my journey has lead me to the Individuation aspect for my life. I know there are wise and loving nuggets in Jung's teachings which would accompany me as I go toward Individuation. However, I admit that these teachings are difficult for me to grasp. I require multiple viewings of videos such as these in order to scratch the surface. Your book recommendations might be helpful, but I wonder if they are too philosophical in nature, thus rendering the content a challenge for me to understand. Your videos are wonderfully encouraging. The reader's voice is perfect in tone, pitch, and pacing. If you have any recommendations for accessing "Jung for Dummies" I'm willing to investigate them.

  • @Zorax2144

    I had a strange dream that I'm trying to decode the meaning of, and this seems like an appropriate space for it, i guess?
    My girlfriend and I were navigating through rooms and hallways in our own home, but not our current home. The lighting was largely comprised of deep blue hues. We seemed to be having a good time, and connecting with each other all along the way: through one door was my current bedroom. Upon entering, I grabbed a stupid collectors katana, and the bathroom door slowly opened illuminating the total darkness. Her standing roughly 8 feet from the door, gets impaled through her collarbone with a cliche reaper scythe. As I hear her choke on her own blood, all of my movements are stripped of their conviction, assuming there was any in the first place, and as 2 dark figures appeared from the doorway, i was overcome with the realization that I too had been struck.
    That's when I woke up. I think the dream entails the consequences of my nonchalant approach and attitude towards life, and operates as a metaphor representing my inadequacy and tendency for inaction, and it's ability to destroying all I deem important.
    Thanks for reading this, if you did.

    • @joshuabaru2908

      An astute observation. Just to add what I feel from reading this:
      You don't feel that you are in control of yourself and am afraid it will make your gf, the love of your life suffer. I believe it's your subconscious mind telling you something. You have it in you, to become what you want. You know what needs to be done. You don't need anyone's permission to be strong and capable. Just do it. Smart work is only possible for there's hard work that precede it.
      Hope this helps. If not, do treat it as just my own reflection of your dream. Have an amazing life!

    It seems like you could say that psychedelics act as catalysts to the individuation process.

    • @tjovadevalivat
      @tjovadevalivat 7 лет назад +34

      No. Individuation happens when you develop and live life as fully as you possibly can. That means a career, relationships, taking responsibility for your life in every respect, everything. Eventually this will take you to your limits where the ego will fail. That will catyst the individuation process. It is very difficult.

    • @RTomoT
      @RTomoT 7 лет назад +94

      tjovadevalivat a psychedelic experience in the right set, setting and dosage can trigger a loss of ego. The unconscious can be expressed during a psychedelic experience too. To say you need a career and what not is a bit unfair, for one thing, not everyone is in the position to have a career. And how can you define how a person can live life to the full? Surely that's down to their own thoughts and life experience, not a predisposed way of living in whatever culture that may be.

    • @tjovadevalivat
      @tjovadevalivat 7 лет назад +29

      +Ryan Thomason Thanks for your reply. You had several points. I try to adress them all. 1) Loss of ego is not enough. The lived life of the ego will carry you forward when you meet the unconscious. If you lose the ego through psychedelics it will probably be escapism. Individuation is not just an experience. It is life at its fullest. 2) It doesn't matter what career you have as long as you have developed your conscious personality as far as you can. It's all about putting your abilities to the test of the real world. 3) There is no cultural standard of living the life to the full. It is all about your own abilities. But you still have to do it (if you want individuation). How can you define it? Well, the person just has to feel what he has left undone in his life, and then go for it. As I said, it is very difficult and individuation is often a tragic and uncomfortable experience. Another point: Yes, life is unfair, and individuation is not for everyone.

    • @RTomoT
      @RTomoT 7 лет назад +11

      tjovadevalivat I see what you mean about the ego, that's a valid point. I like your point about feeling what is left undone. I think nature rewards courage, hence why it's uncomfortable. I think if you are in a position of being able to do what you need to do for individuation to happen you have to do it, especially if not everyone is able to experience it.

      It did for me, it was the first time I did LSD when I had my worst-est bad trip and felt a death purely because i was forced to bring my "Shadow" to the light. I felt that I had survived an near death experience and lived to see day again as someone reborn, baptized from all my previous misdoings and denials. Anyone who says otherwise never felt it and will argue of it and it's okay. In my heart, I know what is the honest truth even if I'm the only one who's aware of it. I was set on the right path since then purely because of LSD haha I know it sounds stupid but hell, I used to have a total anxiety of being left out and alone and different. Now, I don't mind if the entire universe conspires just to judge me. You know what, I'll take even my time to try and understand them and their convictions, maybe they're the ones who are suffering and only wants to be listened to.
