"It is under all circumstances to be under full possession of one's personality" 🌟

I usually love your work but this is just more of the same. When will we get new ideas? Although your (and my) favourites Jung, Nietzsche, maybe a bit of Kierkegaard and Schopenhauer are great, there are soooo many more great thinkers

Everyone just pretends to like you, they despise you as much as they despise themselves

Edgar Allan Poe's raven that’s super edgy bro...

@@EdgarPoe_Raven Bruh, you're most likely projecting. Maybe you hate yourself and you hate everyone else, so you have to pretend (no judgment here, I'm just guessing), but most people genuinely like at least one other person. Not everyone is wearing a mask, at least not all the time.

@Alexander Jenkins kinda true, it's not that simple tho

Vickor frankyl approves

In a way, this contradicts what he teaches. When you accept your own inner personalitys, you are what happened to you. If you try to be a better human, by forming your personality, you do that for the sake of others around you, for you social status

​@@Cardinalbins I don't know where that quote is coming from, but I've read this before: Jung never said: “I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.” What Dr. Jung said was: It is not I who create myself, rather I happen to myself. (CW 11, Para 391)

@Mike Rocker am I the only person in the world who helps people because I feel for their pain, and absolutely no other reason

@@edniz as you can see people prefer fantasy than the truth

That’s exactly the part that hit me as can’t possibly be concretely true and I was shocked. “Criminal”? I live by virtue bc I cared about good character all my life. And psychopaths lack empathy so how can they be saintly? Maybe just simply over generalized.

You guys above clearly did not get anything about jung's ideas

@Mike Rocker I've read some of your comments,Mike. A little scary in my humble opinion.Try looking for the good in your fellow man. It will make your days more enjoyable.👍

That's why humans are interesting!

Id, Ego, Superego

Very nicely said!

this is THE first and most important quote of Jung I remember.

If it's positive we call it destiny else fate ,it's all just the perception of the mind.

Yep...🥰😇🙏

Teaching children there is fate that guides their life is problematic. Certainly there are things out of our control, natural cause and effect and others actions. But, accepting fate alone makes us slaves to the outside world. The dynamic character is stunted.

No tree can grow to heaven unless its roots reach down to hell. I love Carl Jung.

@@satnamo The quote is basically directly taken from Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra, the chapter's called something "Of the tree at the mountain" (at least that's my attempt to translate it). If you want to understand Jung on a deeper level, I highly recommend Nietzsche as a background.

that's beautiful

Pretty sure that's Nietzsche's quote

@@justdrawing231 Tobi said it right. It’s a quote from Carl Jung in his own words but it’s a play off of Nietzsche. We stand on the shoulders of giants :)

Thanks Eric! -That's a great advice 👌🏻 At first I think it's week but after done, I feel lighter and impowered, because it takes courage. :)

YOU'RE WRONG!! (jk you're actually quite correct :-)

Humility helps one see reality clearly...

I can confirm the soundness of this simple (but sometimes difficult) advice. It sounds contradictory but it has improved my self confidence as well.

Nicely said, and true.

@Mike Rocker Empathy is based on the self struggles, and from there, understand others'.

@Mike Rocker What is your conception of empathy? How does the concept of empathy is built in one's conscious complexity in a true, practical, moral and critical category that may match others? For example; would I understand truly your sense of loss of a dear one if I never had experienced such, comparing to your particular sense of loss?

@Mike Rocker Wouldn't that child's kind of empathy be just superfluous instead of sincere?

Mike Rocker Going through the comment section, I’d like to point out that I disagreed with your take on “this channel sucks”...BUT you raised my curiosity with your argument about empathy. Your take on that is peculiar.

@@tunasky4sure His concept of empathy feels like it also englobes "fake" kind of empathy. I understand that a child may learn empathy by watching a funeral, for example. But I don't think that the true, sincere connection of the true feeling of empathy is within that child's "heart".

@Mike Rocker What has Jung been wrong about exactly?

@Mike Rocker Holy shit you understood not a single thing about Jung and that's painfully clear. Are you supposed to be taking the stance of hard science vehemently rejecting god and every mention of him? It's laughable.. Jung doesn't believe in god as you probably picture him, a magical sky daddy, but judging from your comments I saw below you're just here to talk shit about Jung and this channel so something tells me nothing I say will get through to you. If you had understood any of the "common sense" Jung is talking about you'd take a long and hard look at yourself to figure out why you're going around spreading ignorant hate; ironically a very medieval-christian attitude..

@Mike Rocker Your point?

@Mike Rocker There are so many misconceptions and wrong facts in your reply that I don't even know where to begin with. You have clearly no idea about Analytical Psychology. But let's unpack this: First of all, that he died of a heart attack is just not true. Your portrayal of him living an unhealthy lifestyle is an oversimplification anyway. 1. The persona isn't a mask over your true personality, it is part of your personality and your psyche, which is why you have to differentiate it from the others. 2. People aren't only either introverted or extraverted but have both, introverted and extraverted cognitive functions. People just usually have an at least slight preference which of them they use. No one is a "pure" extravert or introvert, this would mean we'd either have no access to our subjective essense or no access to the world around us, both being impossible. 3. Most of the things you adress are beliefs you do not share and that is okay. But he believed these things for a reason. If the things Jung stated would be all "common sense" we'd have more healthy and self-aware people who wouldn't fall easily for group-think and mindless collectivism. But we have. Especially nowadays. If it's so easy and common-sense to you, you should probably ask yourself why you seem to have such a negative opinion on Jung and why you are so quick to dismiss his beliefs. As your opinion seems to be very affected by emotions (Jung SUCKED), there could be some serious projection going on. But that's just my observation.

I mean, Mike Rocker probably has his reasons to believe that what he understands as being Jung's contribution sucks. In that sense he isn't wrong, and neither are any of you. You all just have a different understanding of the same man and his work which, based on what you know, makes perfect sense.

Confronting, in fact!

Feels refreshing doesn t it? :D

Really? If that were true then we'd be living in a utopia of philosopher kings, wouldn't we? Since we aren't then we must assume that only a statistical minority of humanity is capable of self-overcoming, for clearly, all men are most certainly not created equal.

It’s not the capacity, It is the motivation. Do you want to face your fears, your humiliation, your shame. Give up the idealisation you have of yourself, or do you want fries with that. The number of people that actively seek this is small but the capacity is as Jung said is within us all.

@@harryanderson7282 You don't have to fret about it, obviously you're superior to all those horrible failures you have to put up with all day long. How dare they think they are your equals. They should all carry you well above their heads to show their respect. Apparently emulating the sadistic self absorbed narcissism of a tyrant. Probably a bit rascist as well, I'd guess.

@@rickdworsky6457 Everyone who questions egalitarian morality is racist, that totally follows. How about a few other buzzwords? Maybe he is a homophobe as well. Or even a mysagonist. Probably eats small children too.

Some people are born philosophically minded, but most are too busy having fun to look inside themselves especially when young.

M L Von franz live Q&A: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nJxplcyXqcnPn2w.html

I think most people see philosophy as mumbo jumbo that explains things that is "evident in how we behave already." Some people don't need an essay on the shadow self or will to power. They just need a good story that conveys those things.

Don’t wake the sleeper

@@Zayindjejfj Agreed, and henceforth most people do not attain a greater level of consciousness in this life. Sad, but ultimately, most are not born with "it".

@Mike Rocker Thank you for such maturity, balance, and natural innate awareness in that statement.

@Mike Rocker ahh you are projecting your own insecurities onto others I get it

@Mike Rocker my man about what?

Thank you for commenting this

@Mike Rocker at least give explanations

​@Mike Rocker As someone who also values democratic government, I'd have to disagree with you. Academy of Ideas takes a perspective that might be more 'libertarian' in scope but there's nothing wrong with that. All content requires perspective. Societies have always struggled between unity and individual freedom. There are problems with both. There are benefits of both. These days, globalization amplifies that struggle. You might be more on the side of 'team unity' (as I might tend to be), but team 'individual freedoms' is literally the other half of the equation. We need both to work properly to advance our society. We can't do EVERYTHING for the collective, and we can't do EVERYTHING for ourselves. The truly wise must agree with the logical arguments of both teams, even if they tend to lean towards one or the other. I think this channel performs that balancing act well.

@@MrJbswann I am and I will, Thanks man

I believe it's about reprogramming your thinking. Every single moment is truly the only "New" thing. If you will write down the things that you want to do and be, then take a few minutes to imprint those things into your mind, and you will be on your way. Expand this practice into more time, and it is important to schedule this time, just like you schedule the rest of your life. Make this practice a high priority. Be kind to yourself, compliment yourself on your qualities, and don't beat yourself up for your shortcomings. We all suffer the human condition. I don't know you, but I know for sure that you are an amazing person with skills and qualities that make you absolutely unique. This will take time, much time, but you are becoming who you are second by second. Minute by minute and so on... Begin journaling your moments. It's important to be able to track your progress. Nothing too complicated, life is busy enough. And pray. If you do not believe in God, pray anyways. Pray that if there is a God, that you receive revelation. If there is no God, then it certainly won't hurt a thing, but why take a chance. All of This was my journey from hopelessness and still is. I used to degrade myself, and compare myself to others and feel inferior. I was depressed and suicidal until moment by moment I began changing my thinking, until I was literally reborn to a different person all through taking control of my thoughts. Old habits die hard. We must continue the process every day, every moment. Never forget that you are an amazing one of a kind human being, and you matter more than you recognize!

@@klayvonisme I appreciate your encouragement and kind words. I think I should clarify though. I'm facing into my own darkness on purpose. because I want to know the truth about who I believe myself to be. I'm not trying to fix our change or transcend anything about myself. I know this is difficult for people to accept, but I'm not looking for happiness or peace right now, just truth, no matter how painful ugly or frightening. To be honest, I tried to employ those Mental manipulation techniques for over 20 years to no avail. If they worked for you I'm glad, but they didn't work for me. Thankfully I have discovered something that is. Thanks again for your concern though, it's nice to know people like you are around.

@@lunkerjunkie WOW, can I relate! I completely understand, and this is a whole different level. This has been my journey as of late, and this is absolutely refreshing to me, to hear that someone else is on this similar path. There's so much information, so many different opinions, so many paths that all seem to dead end. And while I've contemplated and truly set my heart and mind on seeking only truth, I've found myself in a lonely solemn state. I find it difficult to communicate this with my wife, friends. It's especially difficult to have conversation with my Christian friends as they seem to always want to come up with some answers and or ideas to "help" me. Probably like I did with you so yes, I'm guilty as well. But I understand now from a different angle, it's deeply personal and I'm understanding more now that maybe its a journey we must take and navigate alone? For me, it's about knowing exactly who I am, what are my gifts/talents, what is my purpose, and what is the whole. Thank you for your kind and sincere reply. This says much about your earnest desire and the integrity in which you seek truth. I am grateful for our having crossed, or maybe more 'joined' paths.

@Vietsub TEAM Hanzo Idk i dont think we fully hide our "true selves", I think there's some truth in " the mask" because the mask is who we want other people to believe we are and who we want to be

@@tahsina.c "The mask" is definitely NOT what I want to be...

Then go check out radical honesty

@Mike Rocker How have these low-effort troll comments changed yours?

You haven’t given any examples of these fallacies or contractions, you’ve only been bitching about them without even attempting to give any proof.

@Mike Rocker I think a degree of patience would go a long way in your efforts to help. As bone achingly, mind numbingly painful as that may seem :)

Same here The human experience is well explained 👏 👍

@Mike Rocker *you're. Yes, I am that petty. You certainly proved you are, too.

I highly doubt that you can change your core personality from introvert to extrovet, this sound more that you have fallen into the trap to identify yourself with your persona.

@@DieEineMieze yeah analyze me from a single comment lol. It was a 2 year process, and I'm still introverted but not to an unhealthy level. Im sociable, reserved, yet assertive.

@@TheDhammaHub You seemed to write with clarity, so I was surprised by the meaningless placement of the word "afalk' I was going to let it go and move on, but my brain persisted in wanting to know if you had a brain fart, seizure or if there was some secret meaning to the word...if it is a word? Ahhh...google!! "As Far As I know" Got it.

@@fcmiller3 I spend a lot of time with younger people and sometimes assume that such abbreviations are commonly know. Sorry for that! I'll try to avoid them in the future!

👍

I agree. Most of us need some tools to start this work. Give us some tools!

You can start by identifying your habit, habit is autonomous, it is the thing that you do over and over and it becomes unconscious, your unconscious self is your default mode thinking, your first reaction to any stimulus given, your feeling also gives a clue to your unconscious mind, your value, desire. In short, it is the thing that governs your actions, words, and thoughts.

Exactly this ❤

@Mike Rocker Common sense ain't so common no more...

@Mike Rocker but being yourself means that you won't be considerate of society and what they want- therefore you'd always be judged. Saying to not care abt what others think is easier said than done and if you say you don't fear being shunned from ppl and being an outcast, you'd be lying. There's no winning

​@@michellesu1742 There's an internal you, and an external you. All the people you know and interact with also exist both inside you and outside of you. Do you believe that you are supposed to pick and adhere to only one version, either the external or internal? I believe doing that wouldn't make much sense.

@Mike Rocker why so serious ?

@Mike Rocker You mean 5 mins posting and telling people that this channel sucks without providing any detailed and concrete reasons or evidences whatsover. Lmao. You make me laugh . Youre most likely a troll

@Mike Rocker which is... ?

@Mike Rocker Whose truth are you helping them see though? A lot of these subjects are debatable and constantly up for discussion. There's also several comments of yours that haven't exposed any truth, and you've just merely posted something passive aggressive towards another persons comment instead. So while you try to justify yourself as moral and truth, you're coming off very bitter with low self esteem. Have you considered that neither you nor them are right? And perhaps you could be wrong? If this channel sucks why waste your time with it? If you are of high moral expression, then why not do that on your own channel and be an alternative perspective for those you claim are wrong? I actually think you should speak out if you see something that's wrong, but doing so in KZfaq comments section is always ineffective. And of course if we are to point out something that is wrong we should also provide a counter point to prove it.

@Pass Time Just leave him be. The only way to deal with such people is to not pay attention to them.

😂 my exact sentiments... took notes and re-watched the video like 3 times

True.. i could understand phobias. Like mine are height and large insects. I should bungee jump and hold several tarantulas on my body.. so to speak Inner difficulty could also be scared of commitment. Which then implies you should bond with others. But the fear has so many more layers.. you can't just do one thing and it disappears.

It's important to finish the quote: "convert his inner difficulties into real experiences instead of expending them in useless fantasies." My take is that whatever fantasies you have, they exist because of some psychic factors. Find out the theme of your fantasies and face them in the real world.

@@pakoti96 see above.

Yes. Most of us (at least the men) have sexual fantasies which we have neither the libidinal endurance nor supersized equipment to fulfil in direct experience, and which would get us into severe legal difficulties were we nevertheless to attempt it! Beyond using these "useless" fantasies as a light into the unconscious -- and assayer of changes that have occurred in the "real" world -- I do not see what is to be done with these "inner difficulties."

@@wynnschaible See what above?
