https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Q5J9i97Cyc8<\/div>This after skool presentation was\u00a0 written and narrated by eternalized [Music] Swiss psychologist Carl Jung saw how the modern\u00a0 materialistic world of money pleasure Fame and\u00a0\u00a000:00:18<\/a>power did not lead to happiness but rather an\u00a0 increasing sense of meaninglessness anxiety\u00a0\u00a0 suffering and loneliness he sought to bring\u00a0 our attention back to the search of our soul\u00a0\u00a0 and to restore our connection with herself\u00a0 our innermost Sanctuary life is a journey\u00a0\u00a000:00:34<\/a>of discovering ourself which is our true and\u00a0 complete personality consisting of both our\u00a0\u00a0 conscious and unconscious lives this is what Jung\u00a0 calls the individuation process our journey of\u00a0\u00a0 psychological maturation it is the indestructible\u00a0 Foundation that supports us when we can no longer\u00a0\u00a000:00:53<\/a>support ourselves like a rock that the waves keep\u00a0 crashing over standing unmoved despite the Raging\u00a0\u00a0 of the sea to be in contact with this deeper part\u00a0 of ourselves is to be in a state of Tranquility\u00a0\u00a0 undisturbed by wild emotional fluctuations the\u00a0 goal in life is not not Perfection but wholeness\u00a0\u00a000:01:12<\/a>for Jung there are two stages of life that\u00a0 are part of individuation the first half of\u00a0\u00a0 life is oriented towards the outer\u00a0 world work education relationships\u00a0\u00a0 Etc we must throw ourselves into the fire of life\u00a0 and expose ourselves to daily life and hard work\u00a0\u00a000:01:30<\/a>which solidifies our personality natural life is\u00a0 the nourishing soul of the soil which provides a\u00a0\u00a0 rich source of nutrients that heals us this is\u00a0 why contact with nature is important we mustn’t\u00a0\u00a0 get lost in abstract thinking to the detriment\u00a0 of practical life it is the body the feeling the\u00a0\u00a000:01:49<\/a>instinct which connects us with the soil in his\u00a0 old age Jung continued to Value this way of life\u00a0\u00a0 he wrote I have done without electricity and\u00a0 tend the fireplace and stove myself evenings\u00a0\u00a0 I light the old lamps there’s no running water\u00a0 and I pump the water from the well I chop the\u00a0\u00a000:02:08<\/a>wood and cook the food these simple acts make\u00a0 and simple and how difficult it is to be simple\u00a0\u00a0 this anchoring in reality is a prerequisite for\u00a0 the second half of life where our Focus shifts\u00a0\u00a0 to our inner World our quest for individuation and\u00a0 this is the phase of Life Jung is mostly concerned\u00a0\u00a000:02:29<\/a>with the realm of the unconscious the world of\u00a0 the inner life is as infinite as the world of\u00a0\u00a0 the outer life man lives in Two Worlds many people\u00a0 however have neglected this part of themselves and\u00a0\u00a0 only remain half alive they are unprepared by\u00a0 the natural transition into the second half of\u00a0\u00a000:02:48<\/a>life and fall into a mid-life crisis because they\u00a0 have not learned to align Both Worlds when we are\u00a0\u00a0 confronted with the real and crushing problems of\u00a0 life we desperately search for our soul we realize\u00a0\u00a0 that the values we have learned from society\u00a0 provides no help to us Conformity is the great\u00a0\u00a000:03:06<\/a>destroyer of self-hurt the opposite to courage in\u00a0 our society is not cowardice it is Conformity we\u00a0\u00a0 are often persuaded to take the Apparently easier\u00a0 Road of merging with the crowd and forgetting\u00a0\u00a0 ourselves it requires courage to stand against\u00a0 the crowd a person can be surrounded by a crowd of\u00a0\u00a000:03:25<\/a>people and yet feel completely alone because he’s\u00a0 alienated from himself the search for the soul\u00a0\u00a0 is a solitary task and when we avoid the soul it\u00a0 keeps on stirring it disturbs us makes us restless\u00a0\u00a0 and gives us no peace however these problems are\u00a0 important they are incentives for us to undertake\u00a0\u00a000:03:47<\/a>Soul work without the trials and tribulations of\u00a0 life we aren’t likely to summon the determination\u00a0\u00a0 to overcome the indifference of daily life\u00a0 people will do anything no matter how absurd\u00a0\u00a0 to avoid facing their own soul the gate that\u00a0 leads to destruction is Broad and many answers\u00a0\u00a000:04:07<\/a>through it but the gateway to peace is narrow\u00a0 and on me answers safe through Affliction of the\u00a0\u00a0 Soul it is wise to nourish the soul otherwise\u00a0 you’ll breed dragons and devils in your heart\u00a0\u00a0 every psychic advance of man arises from the\u00a0 suffering of the Soul embrace your grief for\u00a0\u00a000:04:26<\/a>there your soul will grow like the Primitive\u00a0 indigenous tribesmen Jung recognized that the\u00a0\u00a0 loss of Soul leads to a sense of meaninglessness\u00a0 in life when a tribe of people lose their feeling\u00a0\u00a0 that their way of life is worthwhile they may\u00a0 stop reproducing or in large numbers simply lie\u00a0\u00a000:04:44<\/a>down and die besides streams full of fish food is\u00a0 not the primary nourishment of man in place of our\u00a0\u00a0 current banana life Jung would ask us to embark\u00a0 on a great adventure of self-knowledge which comes\u00a0\u00a0 upon investigating once in a world the unconscious\u00a0 realm and for yum this is the true journey of life\u00a0\u00a000:05:07<\/a>without the soul the body is dead and without\u00a0 the body the soul is unreal the soul is the\u00a0\u00a0 home of our Supreme values Dreams Are The Guiding\u00a0 words of the Soul we must carry them in our heart\u00a0\u00a0 and go back and forth over them in our mind like\u00a0 the words of the person dearest to us the dream\u00a0\u00a000:05:27<\/a>is a little hidden door in the innermost and\u00a0 most secret recesses of the Soul opening into\u00a0\u00a0 that Cosmic night which was psyche long\u00a0 before there was any ego consciousness\u00a0\u00a0 apart from dreams Jung developed the technique of\u00a0 active imagination where you have a dialogue with\u00a0\u00a000:05:45<\/a>different parts of yourself that live in the\u00a0 unconscious it is similar to Dreaming except\u00a0\u00a0 that you are fully awake and conscious during the\u00a0 experience he discovered this technique when he\u00a0\u00a0 experienced The Dark Knight of the Soul or what\u00a0 he calls his confrontation with the unconscious\u00a0\u00a000:06:02<\/a>a midlife existential catastrophe in which he\u00a0 was overwhelmed with visions and plunged into\u00a0\u00a0 unknown depths it was as though he experienced\u00a0 a psychological death and he decided that outer\u00a0\u00a0 death is better than inner death for that reason\u00a0 he turned away and sought the place of the inner\u00a0\u00a000:06:22<\/a>life and thus began his search for his soul\u00a0 this led to one of the greatest contributions\u00a0\u00a0 to mankind the red book Jung wrote my soul my\u00a0 soul where are you do you hear me I speak I call\u00a0\u00a0 you are you there I have returned I am here again\u00a0 I’ve shaken the dust of all the land from my feet\u00a0\u00a000:06:45<\/a>and I’ve come to you I am with you after long\u00a0 years of long wandering I’ve come to you again\u00a0\u00a0 there is only one way to the soul and that is\u00a0 your way there is only one salvation and that\u00a0\u00a0 is your salvation if the path before you is clear\u00a0 you’re probably on someone else’s each one must\u00a0\u00a000:07:06<\/a>go his own way hence look into yourself for you\u00a0 must fulfill the way that is in you when we are\u00a0\u00a0 in contact with our inner self we are more likely\u00a0 to experience synchronicities that is Meaningful\u00a0\u00a0 patterns in life where the inner world is seen\u00a0 to have a correspondence in external reality\u00a0\u00a000:07:26<\/a>the first step towards individuation is the\u00a0 integration of the Shadow this is not our enemy\u00a0\u00a0 but our Ally it contains pure gold waiting to be\u00a0 integrated into our personality it becomes dark\u00a0\u00a0 only when it is ignored we must learn to watch\u00a0 our emotional impulses and be aware of projecting\u00a0\u00a000:07:46<\/a>our own problems onto other innocent people it is\u00a0 only after the encounter with a shadow that we can\u00a0\u00a0 move on to the deepest part of the Soul which\u00a0 Jung calls the Anima the female psychological\u00a0\u00a0 tendencies in man and the Animus the male\u00a0 psychological tendencies in women these are the\u00a0\u00a000:08:05<\/a>contrasexual soul images in our psyche while the\u00a0 integration of the Shadow is The Apprentice piece\u00a0\u00a0 the soul image is the Masterpiece the integration\u00a0 of the anima is done through taking seriously the\u00a0\u00a0 feelings moods and fantasies of the unconscious\u00a0 and bringing them into reality through creative\u00a0\u00a000:08:25<\/a>work such as painting writing sculpture or musical\u00a0 composition the anima is the source of life and\u00a0\u00a0 when it is not integrated we feel lifeless and\u00a0 depressed it enriches our life by making the\u00a0\u00a0 unconscious contents conscious the animus on the\u00a0 other hand is the source of meaning it gives our\u00a0\u00a000:08:46<\/a>unconscious content meaning in the outer World\u00a0 it endows a woman with qualities of initiative\u00a0\u00a0 courage objectivity and spiritual wisdom avoiding\u00a0 cold and destructive Reflections or hidden\u00a0\u00a0 convictions about how life ought to be as if stuck\u00a0 in a cocoon of dreamy thoughts which cuts a woman\u00a0\u00a000:09:05<\/a>off from the reality of life the integration\u00a0 of the Soul image is what caused a path to the\u00a0\u00a0 most fundamental figure the self wholeness can\u00a0 only be achieved through a union of opposites in\u00a0\u00a0 which our light and dark side are united Jung’s\u00a0 individuation process is analogous to the great\u00a0\u00a000:09:26<\/a>work of the Alchemists where the Philosopher’s\u00a0 Stone is a symbol of the self which is found\u00a0\u00a0 within oneself for Jung the task of alchemy\u00a0 is psychological it is the art of expanding\u00a0\u00a0 consciousness of self-realization when we have\u00a0 lost our way or do not know what to do with our\u00a0\u00a000:09:46<\/a>life we can only surrender to the higher wisdom of\u00a0 the self our constant inner companion through life\u00a0\u00a0 Jung did not see himself as a Healer but as\u00a0 someone who could guide you to heal yourself The\u00a0\u00a0 Cure ought to grow naturally out of the Wounded\u00a0 individual this search for herself allows for\u00a0\u00a000:10:07<\/a>empathy Mutual understanding and they desire\u00a0 to become an ally in other people’s Journeys\u00a0\u00a0 towards psychological maturation thus we improve\u00a0 our relationship with ourselves with others and\u00a0\u00a0 with nature life is not a problem to be solved but\u00a0 a mystery to be experienced we do not require any\u00a0\u00a000:10:28<\/a>esoteric knowledge to be in contact with herself\u00a0 anyone can take the time to look within to reflect\u00a0\u00a0 on life’s meaning to give time and attention\u00a0 to values interests and activities that bring\u00a0\u00a0 joy and fulfillment to one’s personal life who\u00a0 looks outside dreams who looks inside awakes00:10:54<\/a>if you are interested in learning
