Carl Jung’s collective unconscious is one of his most well-known (and controversial) concepts. The collective unconscious is the aspect of the unconscious mind which manifests inherited, universal themes which run through all human life. He came upon the idea in a dream. The collective unconscious does not owe its existence to personal experience and consequently is not a personal acquisition, while the personal unconscious is made up essentially of contents which have at one time been conscious but which have disappeared from consciousness through having been forgotten or repressed. The personal unconscious consists of complexes, while the collective unconscious is made up of archetypes (or primordial images). Archetypes are collectively-inherited forms or patterns of behaviour. They reflect basic patterns common to us all, and which have existed universally since the dawn of time.

Alchemy occupies a unique place in the collective psyche of humankind. Swiss psychiatrist and psychologist Jung discovered alchemy and devoted the remaining 30 years of his life to studying it, which he practically dug up from the dunghill of the past, for it was considered pseudoscience, a forgotten relic of history and despised field of investigation which he had suddenly revived. Alchemy allows one to achieve wholeness through a reconnection with the unconscious. For Jung, the task of alchemy was and has always been psychological. The end product is not material in nature, but rather spiritual. Alchemy is the art of expanding consciousness, of self-realisation. ⭐ Support this channel: https://www.patreon.com/eternalised 📺 YouTube Member Perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqos1tl0RntucGGtPXNxkkA/join ☕ Donate a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/eternalised 📘 PayPal https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/eternalisedofficial 🛒 Official Merch: https://eternalised.creator-spring.com 🎨 Access transcript and artwork gallery: https://eternalisedofficial.com/2022/07/30/alchemy-and-psychology ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 Recommended Reading ▶ Jung and the Alchemical Imagination – Jeffrey Raff https://amzn.to/3oN6zYp ▶ Anatomy of the Psyche: Alchemical Symbolism in Psychotherapy – Edward Edinger https://amzn.to/3Sft4D6 ▶ Alchemy: An Introduction to the Symbolism and the Psychology – Marie-Louise von Franz https://amzn.to/3biinyU ▶ Alchemical Active Imagination – Marie-Louise von Franz https://amzn.to/3Q33Zt9 ▶ Psychology and Alchemy: Collected Works Vol.12 – Carl Jung https://amzn.to/3zLvWAu 🎧 Prefer Audiobooks?

Projection is a psychological fact that can be observed everywhere in the everyday life of human beings. It is an unconscious mechanism where one ascribes one’s own motivations, thoughts, feelings, and desires that are unacceptable to oneself, while attributing them to others. It is a misalignment of the inner and outer world, because what one is inwardly, one will see outwardly. To really know who we are, we must concern ourselves with correcting such misjudgements. Many people will cling to them with every fibre of their being, because if one accepts correction, one may fall into a depression. When we find certain unacceptable feelings, thoughts or behaviours in ourselves that we refuse to acknowledge, and see someone with that specific trait, we will feel resentment, hatred and anger towards them. Projection occurs not because of what other people say to you, but rather because of what you yourself think about those people. ⭐ Support this channel: https://www.patreon.com/eternalised 📺 YouTube Member Perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqos1tl0RntucGGtPXNxkkA/join ☕ Donate a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/eternalised 📘 PayPal https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/eternalisedofficial 🛒 Official Merch: https://eternalised.creator-spring.com 🎨 Access transcript and artwork gallery: https://eternalisedofficial.com/2022/06/09/psychological-projection/ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 Recommended Reading ▶ Inner Gold: Understanding Psychological Projection https://amzn.to/3QczvFR ▶ Projection and Re-Collection in Jungian Psychology: Reflections of the Soul https://amzn.to/3QoWPk3 ▶ Man and His Symbols https://amzn.to/3xAC39D 🎧 Prefer Audiobooks?

Synchronicity is a term coined by Carl Jung which describes meaningful patterns or meaningful coincidences of outer and inner events that cannot be causally linked. It occurs with an inwardly perceived event (dream, vision, premonition, thought or mood) is seen to have a correspondence in external reality: the inner image has “come true”, bringing meaning to your life. When Jung was investigating the phenomena of the collective unconscious, he kept on coming across “coincidences” that were connected so meaningfully, that they broke all statistical probabilities. The culmination of his investigations is covered in his work: Synchronicity: An Acausal Connecting Principle. ⭐ Support this channel: https://www.patreon.com/eternalised 📺 YouTube Member Perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqos1tl0RntucGGtPXNxkkA/join ☕ Donate a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/eternalised 📘 PayPal https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/eternalisedofficial 🛒 Official Merch: https://eternalised.creator-spring.com 🎨 Access transcript and artwork gallery: https://eternalisedofficial.com/2022/05/23/synchronicity-carl-jung ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 Recommended Reading ▶ Synchronicity: An Acausal Connecting Principle https://amzn.to/38TfUK4 ▶ Man and His Symbols https://amzn.to/3lYyz94 ▶ Modern Man In Search of a Soul https://amzn.to/2G3mhw7 ▶ Memories, Dreams, Reflections https://amzn.to/3dAcD0z 🎧 Get a 30-day Audible Plus FREE trial (affiliate link): https://amzn.to/332zPzN ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📱 Discord ➔ https://discord.io/eternalised 🐦 Twitter ➔ https://twitter.com/eternalised1 📘 Facebook ➔ https://www.facebook.com/eternalised 📷 Instagram ➔ https://www.instagram.com/eternalised_official 🎧 Podcast ➔ https://anchor.fm/eternalised ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎶 Music used 1.

Active imagination is a technique developed by the Swiss psychologist and psychiatrist Carl Jung. He considered it the most powerful tool to access the unconscious and for achieving wholeness of personality. Jung discovered this method between the years of 1913 and 1916, a period of disorientation and intense inner turmoil which he called his confrontation with the unconscious. He searched for a method to heal himself from within, through the power of the imagination. Active imagination is a dialogue with different parts of yourself that live in the unconscious. In some way it is similar to dreaming, except that you are fully awake and conscious during the experience. If we honestly want to find our own wholeness, to live our individual fate as fully as possible; if we truly want to abolish illusion on principle and find the truth of our own being, however little we like to be the way we are, then there is nothing that can help us so much in our endeavour as active imagination. ⭐ Support this channel: https://www.patreon.com/eternalised 📺 YouTube Member Perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqos1tl0RntucGGtPXNxkkA/join ☕ Donate a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/eternalised 📘 PayPal https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/eternalisedofficial 🛒 Official Merch: https://eternalised.creator-spring.com 🎨 Access transcript and artwork gallery: https://eternalisedofficial.com/2022/05/09/active-imagination ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 Recommended Reading ▶ Inner Work: Using Dreams and Active Imagination for Personal Growth https://amzn.to/3t1zDhs ▶ Jung on Active Imagination https://amzn.to/3MRwSqZ ▶ Encounters with the Soul: Active Imagination as Developed by C.G.

To honour and accept one’s own shadow is a profound spiritual discipline. It is whole-making and thus holy and the most important experience of a lifetime. We'll be exploring American author and Jungian analyst Robert A. Johnson's book, Owning Your Own Shadow: The Dark Side of the Psyche. In this video, we briefly clear up some misconceptions regarding the concept of shadow. It is the mirror image of ourselves that we cannot see, representing those aspects that we lack. It has a compensatory role that seeks to restore our wholeness of personality. It is not the light element alone that does the healing; the place where light and dark begin to touch is the most profound religious experience we can have in life. The religious task is to restore the wholeness of personality. Religion means to put things back together again, to connect whatever is fractured. ⭐ Support this channel: https://www.patreon.com/eternalised 📺 YouTube Member Perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqos1tl0RntucGGtPXNxkkA/join ☕ Donate a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/eternalised 📘 PayPal https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/eternalisedofficial 🛒 Official Merch: https://eternalised.creator-spring.com 🎨 Access transcript and artwork gallery: https://eternalisedofficial.com/2022/04/25/owning-your-own-shadow ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 Recommended Reading ▶ Owning Your Own Shadow: Understanding the Dark Side of the Psyche https://amzn.to/3sYHbS8 🎧 Get a 30-day Audible Plus FREE trial (affiliate link): https://amzn.to/332zPzN ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📱 Discord ➔ https://discord.io/eternalised 🐦 Twitter ➔ https://twitter.com/eternalised1 📘 Facebook ➔ https://www.facebook.com/eternalised 📷 Instagram ➔ https://www.instagram.com/eternalised_official 🎧 Podcast ➔ https://anchor.fm/eternalised ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎶 Music used 1.

William Blake was an English poet and visionary artist whose unique work gives us a glimpse into an entirely different world. His art was ignored and neglected, and few people took his work seriously. He was generally seen as a madman. His vivid imagination, visions and mystical experiences lead him to a spiritual task that was the exploration of his inner self. For Blake, the essence of human existence is imagination. ⭐ Support this channel: https://www.patreon.com/eternalised 📺 YouTube Member Perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqos1tl0RntucGGtPXNxkkA/join ☕ Donate a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/eternalised 📘 PayPal https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/eternalisedofficial 🛒 Official Merch: https://eternalised.creator-spring.com 🎨 Access transcript and artwork gallery: https://eternalisedofficial.com/2022/04/11/the-otherworldly-art-of-william-blake/ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 Recommended Reading ▶ William Blake: The Complete Illuminated Books https://amzn.to/3wX4FIu ▶ William Blake vs. the World https://amzn.to/3MW5qs4 🎧 Get a 30-day Audible Plus FREE trial (affiliate link): https://amzn.to/332zPzN ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📱 Discord ➔ https://discord.io/eternalised 🐦 Twitter ➔ https://twitter.com/eternalised1 📘 Facebook ➔ https://www.facebook.com/eternalised 📷 Instagram ➔ https://www.instagram.com/eternalised_official 🎧 Podcast ➔ https://anchor.fm/eternalised ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎶 Music used 1.

Arthur Schopenhauer was a German Philosopher known for his deep philosophical reflections. For Schopenhauer, the underlying force of reality is the Will (also called will to live or will to life), which is the essence of existence. It is an unconscious and blind desire that restlessly strives for more activity. The will is the tornado that swirls inside of us and throws us from one place to the other, it is the source of our insatiable appetite that results in strife and misery. But if the world is will, it must be a world of suffering. Each individual bears within himself a disruptive contradiction; the realised desire develops a new desire, and so on endlessly. For Schopenhauer, life is evil because pain is its basic stimulus and reality. Pleasure is merely a negative cessation of pain. As soon as suffering ceases, we are overcome by boredom, in other words, more suffering. Boredom is nothing other than the sensation of the emptiness of existence. Schopenhauer’s writing is far from the sterile and academic German of the time, his work is straight-forward, colloquial, concrete, full of metaphors and anecdotes. His philosophy sent him on a quest for tranquility and peace of mind. He offers as alternatives the denial of the will, the wisdom of life through philosophy, aesthetics and ethics. ⭐ Support this channel: https://www.patreon.com/eternalised 📺 YouTube Member Perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqos1tl0RntucGGtPXNxkkA/join ☕ Donate a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/eternalised 📘 PayPal https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/eternalisedofficial 🛒 Official Merch: https://eternalised.creator-spring.com 🎨 Access transcript and artwork gallery: https://eternalisedofficial.com/2022/03/25/philosophy-of-schopenhauer ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 Recommended Reading ▶ The World as Will and Representation, Vol. 1 https://amzn.to/3lR1hd1 ▶ The World as Will and Representation, Vol. 2 https://amzn.to/3MW4AeU ▶ Parerga and Paralipomena (Essays and Aphorisms) https://amzn.to/3LW1DtA ▶ The Wisdom of Life https://amzn.to/3PHp3pL ▶ On the Suffering of the World https://amzn.to/3PObWD5 🎧 Get a 30-day Audible Plus FREE trial (affiliate link): https://amzn.to/332zPzN ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📱 Discord ➔ https://discord.io/eternalised 🐦 Twitter ➔ https://twitter.com/eternalised1 📘 Facebook ➔ https://www.facebook.com/eternalised 📷 Instagram ➔ https://www.instagram.com/eternalised_official 🎧 Podcast ➔ https://anchor.fm/eternalised ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎶 Music used 1.

Nothingness is generally considered to be analogous with death and extinction which every healthy living instinct wants to avoid. Many find the notion of nothingness unfathomable. Japanese philosopher Keiji Nishitani, however, was convinced that the way out of nihilism, that which renders meaningless the meaning of life, could only be reached by gazing into the abyss itself. Nishitani understands human existence as consisting in three fields: consciousness, nihility and emptiness. Nihility is as part of the fabric of reality as Being is, it is relative nothingness, and emptiness is absolute nothingness, where the “absolute negation” as the negation of negation becomes the “great affirmation”. In the openness of śūnyatā realised by nihility overcoming itself, one completely oversteps the confines of self-consciousness and comes to be free of egocentrism, anthropocentrism and even theocentrism, thus allowing ultimate reality to manifest itself in all its fullness. We will be focusing on two important works of Nishitani: The Self-Overcoming of Nihilism and Religion and Nothingness. ⭐ Support this channel: https://www.patreon.com/eternalised 📺 YouTube Member Perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqos1tl0RntucGGtPXNxkkA/join ☕ Donate a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/eternalised 📘 PayPal https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/eternalisedofficial 🛒 Official Merch: https://eternalised.creator-spring.com 🎨 Access transcript and artwork gallery: https://eternalisedofficial.com/2022/03/11/nothingness-nishitani ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 Recommended Reading ▶ Religion and Nothingness https://amzn.to/3ND4IQs ▶ The Self-Overcoming of Nihilism https://amzn.to/3N1JiwG 🎧 Get a 30-day Audible Plus FREE trial (affiliate link): https://amzn.to/332zPzN As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases at no additional cost to you. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📱 Discord ➔ https://discord.io/eternalised 🐦 Twitter ➔ https://twitter.com/eternalised1 📘 Facebook ➔ https://www.facebook.com/eternalised 📷 Instagram ➔ https://www.instagram.com/eternalised_official 🎧 Podcast ➔ https://anchor.fm/eternalised ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎶 Music used 1.

In The Courage to Be, Paul Tillich presents his antidote to meaninglessness and anxiety through the concept of courage. He was a German-American Christian existentialist philosopher born in 1886 and is considered as one of the most influential theologians of the 20th century. While lecturing on anxiety, Tillich noticed that there was an enormous response in the post-war era, especially in the younger people, and he sought to give an answer to the growing anxiety which had developed. The aftereffects of the two World Wars had left the world in a state of disorientation, estrangement, anxiety and meaninglessness. ⭐ Support this channel: https://www.patreon.com/eternalised 📺 YouTube Member Perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqos1tl0RntucGGtPXNxkkA/join ☕ Donate a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/eternalised 📘 PayPal https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/eternalisedofficial 🛒 Official Merch: https://eternalised.creator-spring.com 🎨 Access transcript and artwork gallery: https://eternalisedofficial.com/2022/02/24/the-courage-to-be ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 Recommended Reading ▶ The Courage to Be https://amzn.to/3M0gp3O ▶ Dynamics of Faith https://amzn.to/3viWUxl ▶ Systematic Theology: Three Volumes in One https://amzn.to/3hbjlfF 🎧 Prefer Audiobooks?

Lovecraft's dark philosophy of cosmic horror is known as Cosmicism, which focuses on the insignificance of humanity and its doings at the cosmos-at-large, in contrast to the anthropocentric philosophies in which many find intellectual reassurance. This form of non-anthropocentrism is crucial to the philosophy of Cosmicism. The question of the meaning of life was better left unanswered. Cosmicism is a type of extreme existentialism, as it brings up the uncertainty about the role of humanity in the uncaring universe, an existential crisis on a large scale. Lovecraft embraces the truth of reality. Things are important to us on the human scale, but we simply don’t matter in the cosmos. He described us as "the miserable denizens of a wretched little flyspeck on the back door of a microscopic universe.” ⭐ Support this channel: https://www.patreon.com/eternalised 📺 YouTube Member Perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqos1tl0RntucGGtPXNxkkA/join ☕ Donate a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/eternalised 📘 PayPal https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/eternalisedofficial 🛒 Official Merch: https://eternalised.creator-spring.com 🎨 Access transcript and artwork gallery: https://eternalisedofficial.com/2022/02/11/cosmicism-lovecraft ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 Recommended Reading The Complete Fiction of H.P.

Few artists have so powerfully evoked the uncanny otherness of the unconscious like Swiss artist Peter Birkhäuser. His unknown dream paintings were met with blank incomprehension, and were not well-received by the art community of the time, but, viewed today, his vivid paintings bear striking testament to the disruptive and transformative reality of individuation, the purpose of Jungian psychology, which is to seek wholeness of personality by bringing the unconscious contents into reality. After a midlife crisis, Birkhäuser dedicated himself exclusively to bringing these unconscious images into reality. Just how hard this struggle with himself must have been is suggested by the fact that it took the artist twelve years to make the great break and paint a picture entirely according to his own imagination, with no model from the real world. The fantasy pictures reflect not only the artist’s own personal psychological situation, but also the spirit of the age, revealing what is taking place in the depths of the collective unconscious in all of the people of our time. Because of this, they are not easy to decipher: they are simply there, and wish to be experienced. ⭐ Support this channel: https://www.patreon.com/eternalised 📺 YouTube Member Perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqos1tl0RntucGGtPXNxkkA/join ☕ Donate a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/eternalised 📘 PayPal https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/eternalisedofficial 🛒 Official Merch: https://eternalised.creator-spring.com 🎨 Access transcript and artwork gallery: https://eternalisedofficial.com/2022/01/29/unknown-dream-paintings ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 Recommended Reading ▶ Light From the Darkness: The Paintings of Peter Birkhäuser https://amzn.to/3IMq5fJ ▶ Windows on Eternity: The Paintings of Peter Birkhäuser https://amzn.to/3raoc6D ▶ Man and His Symbols https://amzn.to/3lYyz94 ▶ Modern Man In Search of a Soul https://amzn.to/2G3mhw7 ▶ Memories, Dreams, Reflections https://amzn.to/3dAcD0z ▶ Animus and Anima in Fairy Tales https://amzn.to/3nLdWjj 🎧 Prefer Audiobooks?

The anima and animus are two contrasexual archetypes crucial for individuation and to progress towards the Self in Carl Jung’s analytical psychology, they are the archetype of life and archetype of meaning, respectively. The anima is the personification of all female psychological tendencies in man, while the animus is the personification of all male psychological tendencies in woman. They form part of the collective unconscious, as archetypes or collectively inherited patterns of behaviour, which are autonomous, making them particularly difficult to integrate into one’s personality. The integration of the shadow, or the realisation of the personal unconscious, marks the first stage in Jungian psychology. Without it, a recognition of anima and animus is impossible. Shadow integration is the ‘apprentice-piece’, while the anima or animus is the ‘master-piece’. ⭐ Support this channel: https://www.patreon.com/eternalised 📺 YouTube Member Perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqos1tl0RntucGGtPXNxkkA/join ☕ Donate a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/eternalised 📘 PayPal https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/eternalisedofficial 🛒 Official Merch: https://eternalised.creator-spring.com 🎨 Access transcript and artwork gallery: https://eternalisedofficial.com/2022/01/21/anima-and-animus ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 Recommended Reading ▶ Man and His Symbols - Carl Jung & others https://amzn.to/3lYyz94 ▶ Modern Man In Search of a Soul - Carl Jung https://amzn.to/2G3mhw7 ▶ Memories, Dreams, Reflections - Carl Jung https://amzn.to/3dAcD0z ▶ Animus and Anima in Fairy Tales - M.L. von Franz https://amzn.to/3nLdWjj ▶ Animus and Anima - Emma Jung https://amzn.to/3InAPkD 🎧 Prefer Audiobooks?

In Harrison Bergeron, Kurt Vonnegut Jr. describes the nightmare of total equality, a society in which equality is finally achieved, but at the cost of freedom and individuality. One’s utopia is another’s dystopia. We’ll be exploring the increasing promotion of equality to the point of it being absurd as a consequence of the “unheard cry for meaning” that plagues modern society. The modern age is characterised by a sense of disorientation of not knowing what to do with one’s life. Nietzsche’s foresaw nihilism as an inevitable consequence of the Death of God, where God is replaced with public opinion, the entertainment culture, and the State. Without objective values, we fall into relativism, making us fall prey to authoritarianism and conformism, as displayed by George Orwell's Animal Farm and 1984. ⭐ Support this channel: https://www.patreon.com/eternalised 📺 YouTube Member Perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqos1tl0RntucGGtPXNxkkA/join ☕ Donate a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/eternalised 📘 PayPal https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/eternalisedofficial 🛒 Official Merch: https://eternalised.creator-spring.com 🎨 Access transcript and artwork gallery: https://eternalisedofficial.com/2022/01/10/the-nightmare-of-total-equality ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 Recommended Reading ▶ The Myth of Sisyphus – Albert Camus https://amzn.to/3jQxA9n ▶ Thus Spoke Zarathustra – Friedrich Nietzsche https://amzn.to/2F89V55 ▶ 1984 - George Orwell https://amzn.to/2PH33gT ▶ Animal Farm - George Orwell https://amzn.to/3thz0RQ 🎧 Prefer Audiobooks?

In the 19th century the status of mass society became a philosophical and moral issue in a manner hitherto unseen. It came to be defined as the permanent possibility in all individuals of losing concern for their personal status and worth, and assigning themselves to something outside themselves in an abstract “other”. We’ll be exploring the various existential critiques and interpretations of this phenomenon peculiar to modern society from four major 19th century thinkers who have integrated the event of the masses into the very structure of their philosophies: Søren Kierkegaard ("The Crowd is Untruth" and "The Public"), Friedrich Nietzsche ("The Last Man"), Martin Heidegger ("Das Man") and José Ortega y Gasset (The Mass Man").

Russian novelist Fyodor Dostoevsky wrote Notes from Underground in 1864 which is considered to be one of the first existentialist works, emphasising the importance of freedom, responsibility and individuality. It is an extraordinary piece of literature, social critique and satire of the Russian nihilist movement as well as a novel with deep psychological insights on the nature of man. Dostoevsky’s most sustained and spirited attack on the Russian nihilist movement is voiced by one of the darkest, least sympathetic of all his characters – the nameless narrator and protagonist known as the Underground Man, revealing the hopeless dilemmas in which he lands as a result. Notes from Underground attempts to warn people of several ideas that were gaining ground in the 1860s including: moral and political nihilism, rational egoism, determinism, utilitarianism, utopianism, atheism and what would become communism.

Modern society has seen a massive spike in mental illness. Why could this be? We will be exploring the characteristics of modernity and associate it with the rise of mental illness through a lack of meaning in life. Modernity is associated by scientific and technological advancement, individualism and hedonism. The empowerment of the individual self is one of the most ramifying features of modernity. In The Myth of Mental Illness, Thomas Szasz suggests that many people who suffer from mental illness is due to the consequence of the attempt to confront and to tackle the problem of how to live. Modern man feels the weight of his freedom and responsibility to live his life, as Sartre asserts, we are “condemned to be free”. Kierkegaard says that one can get lost in the finite (becoming lost in the crowd) or in the infinite (a state of analysis-paralysis). Camus’s absurd person is one who has seen through the ridiculous repetitions of daily life (Sisyphean condemnation). When we do not have a “why” to satisfy our existence, we must search for alternatives or risk falling into an existential crisis. Nietzsche’s proclamation of the death of God engenders the most profound cultural, sociological and psychological repercussions, leaving many facing a crisis in discerning a meaning or purpose for their existence, leading to a sense of disorientation. Viktor Frankl tells us that we are living in an existential vacuum, the mass neurosis of modern times is the “unheard cry for meaning”. Modern man is in desperate need for the hero journey, described by Joseph Henderson. Carl Jung analyses the question: “What actually takes place inside the mentally ill?” Sebastian Junger tells us of he importance of a tribe which modern man lacks, and finally, Carl Jung describes the psychic dissociation in modern man.

Friedrich Nietzsche provided the first detailed diagnosis of nihilism as a widespread phenomenon of Western culture and warns the world of its consequences, most famously in the parable of the madman where he proclaims that "God is dead". Nietzsche was concerned primarily with existential nihilism, where life as a whole has no intrinsic meaning or value. He defines nihilism as the “radical repudiation of value, meaning, and desirability." In other words, nihilism consists in an inability to find value and meaning in the higher aspects of this life and world. It empties the world and purpose of human existence. In order to overcome nihilism, Nietzsche proposes a “revaluation of all values”, through concepts such as the Übermensch, the Will to Power and the Eternal Recurrence, seeking to replace the old values with new ones that focus on life-affirmation, rather than some beyond. He tells us to remain faithful to the earth. In this video, we begin with an introduction to nihilism followed by three different manifestations of nihilism throughout Nietzsche’s works: nihilism as despair, nihilism as disorientation and nihilism as a lack of higher values. We then discuss the formal distinction he makes of nihilism in the will to power as active nihilism and passive nihilism. Finally, we consider nihilism in modern man, answer the question: Is Nietzsche a Nihilist? And end with how to overcome nihilism according to Nietzsche.

Carl Jung warns us against the dangers of the shadow (the unknown dark side of our personality). We must acknowledge our shadow and enter into long and difficult negotiations with it through shadow work. Only then can we become conscious of the collective shadow (the unknown dark side of mankind) and not fall prey to it. Exploring our shadow allows us to rescue the good qualities that lie dormant within us, which improves our lives and the lives of those around us. We can then face the collective shadow and take responsibility to address the denial of important issues and a lack of individual and collective initiative. Telling the truth is the most desirable way to deal with a difficult past, rather than dismissing the atrocities and having the shadow grow blacker until it can no grow no more, and thus history repeats itself.

The Russian existentialist philosopher Lev Shestov is known for his “philosophy of despair” or “philosophy of tragedy”. For Shestov, the sources of philosophy were the human tragedy, the horrors and sufferings of human life and the sense of hopelessness. Tragedies take place in the depth of the human soul, where no eye can reach out to see. Consequently, He saw the beginning of philosophy starting not with knowledge, not with wonder, but with despair. Despair is what he considers a “penultimate knowledge”, that is, a preliminary step that we must acknowledge, in order to progress towards something higher, the “ultimate knowledge”. ⭐ Support this channel: https://www.patreon.com/eternalised 📺 YouTube Member Perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqos1tl0RntucGGtPXNxkkA/join ☕ Donate a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/eternalised 📘 PayPal https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/eternalisedofficial 🛒 Official Merch: https://eternalised.creator-spring.com 🎨 Access transcript and artwork gallery: https://eternalisedofficial.com/2022/01/03/existential-despair ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 Recommended Reading All Things are Possible – Lev Shestov ▶ https://amzn.to/3HteKAE Athens and Jerusalem – Lev Shestov ▶ https://amzn.to/3G6sVLx 🎧 Prefer Audiobooks?

The persona is one of Carl Jung's most well-known concepts, representing the social mask that we put on. We all embody different masks in different settings, as it is our way to adapt to the demands of society, playing an important part in shaping our social role and in how we deal with other people. But, it also has its dangers. We will be discussing the dangers of concealing our true self. We may use the persona to help us conceal our vulnerabilities and other parts that we do not want to reveal about ourselves, or we may excessively identify with the persona. The persona prevents us from what Jung considered the most important task in our lives, the process of individuation, bringing one closer to the Self. ⭐ Support this channel: https://www.patreon.com/eternalised 📺 YouTube Member Perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqos1tl0RntucGGtPXNxkkA/join ☕ Donate a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/eternalised 📘 PayPal https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/eternalisedofficial 🛒 Official Merch: https://eternalised.creator-spring.com 🎨 Access transcript and artwork gallery: https://eternalisedofficial.com/2021/12/24/the-persona-carl-jung ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 Recommended Reading ▶ Man and His Symbols (1964) https://amzn.to/3lYyz94 ▶ Modern Man In Search of a Soul (1933) https://amzn.to/2G3mhw7 ▶ Memories, Dreams, Reflections (1961) https://amzn.to/3dAcD0z ▶ Two Essays on Analytical Psychology - C.W.

In his best-known work The Hero with a Thousand Faces published in 1949, Joseph Campbell describes the archetypal Hero’s Journey or “monomyth” shared by the world. The Hero’s Journey occurs in three sequential phases: separation, initiation and the return. In the climax of the myth, the Hero experiences a psychological death and rebirth. The death of an old aspect of one’s self and the birth of a new and more capable self, receiving insights and experience. ⭐ Support this channel: https://www.patreon.com/eternalised 📺 YouTube Member Perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqos1tl0RntucGGtPXNxkkA/join ☕ Donate a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/eternalised 📘 PayPal https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/eternalisedofficial 🛒 Official Merch: https://eternalised.creator-spring.com 🎨 Access transcript and artwork gallery: https://eternalisedofficial.com/2021/10/29/the-hero-journey Artwork by Joseph Feely Viking Above the Clouds (thumbnail) https://www.artstation.com/artwork/8KbrR A King's Return https://www.artstation.com/artwork/Pddwr Solace https://www.artstation.com/artwork/OoXOob Facing Fears https://www.artstation.com/artwork/xz82B2 Shining Goddess https://www.artstation.com/artwork/nQmQBE Support Joseph and his amazing art https://www.artstation.com/joefly https://www.instagram.com/josephfeely.art ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 Recommended Reading – Joseph Campbell ▶ The Hero with a Thousand Faces https://amzn.to/3vZEQ9I ▶ The Power of Myth https://amzn.to/3BsZws3 ▶ Pathways to Bliss: Mythology and Personal Transformation https://amzn.to/3jPe7Ie 🎧 Prefer Audiobooks?

The knight of faith is one of Kierkegaard’s most important concepts, which he discusses in Fear and Trembling under the pseudonym Johannes de silentio. He begins explaining the knight of faith through the story of Abraham and Isaac. Although he has never found any knight of faith, he would not deny on that ground that they exist. He looks like any normal person, one detects nothing of the strangeness and superiority that marks him. Before one can be a knight of faith, one must become a knight of infinite resignation, one who renounces that which he most loves in the world. The knight of faith makes the leap of faith and by virtue of the absurd, he renounces everything and regains everything, coming back to his original position through a double movement. He compares both movements: the movement of infinite resignation and the movement of faith with the leap of a ballet dancer and gives the example through the story of a man in an impossible love with a princess. The general message is that the notion of faith is so far cheapened that what is talked about is not properly called faith at all. ⭐ Support this channel: https://www.patreon.com/eternalised 📺 YouTube Member Perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqos1tl0RntucGGtPXNxkkA/join ☕ Donate a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/eternalised 📘 PayPal https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/eternalisedofficial 🛒 Official Merch: https://eternalised.creator-spring.com 🎨 Access transcript and artwork gallery https://eternalisedofficial.com/2021/10/08/kierkegaard-the-knight-of-faith ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 Recommended Reading ▶ Fear and Trembling (1843) https://amzn.to/3jUGhPx ▶ Either/Or (1843) https://amzn.to/3dAg9YP ▶ Stages on Life's Way (1845) https://amzn.to/3wtaJYb ▶ The Present Age (1846) https://amzn.to/2VsfyDm ▶ The Sickness unto Death (1849) https://amzn.to/3j8oLrd ▶ The Lily of the Field and the Bird of the Air (1849) https://amzn.to/3ujEitt 🎧 Prefer Audiobooks?

Man cannot stand a meaningless life. But, what is the meaning of life? It is hard to think of a single proposition that can make your life meaningful in an instant. One can, however, orient oneself more meaningfully towards one’s goals. To find meaning is a dynamic process that constantly shapes yourself, immerses yourself in reality and has reality immersed in you. A meaningful life can be defined according to a positive life regard, referring to an individual’s belief that he is fulfilling a life-framework or life-goal that provides him with a highly valued understanding of his life. In this video we explore several models to the development of a positive life regard, the problems of a meaningless life and dangers of nihilism, life affirmation and meaning as embedded in life and Viktor Frankl’s Will to Meaning. ⭐ Support this channel: https://www.patreon.com/eternalised 📺 YouTube Member Perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqos1tl0RntucGGtPXNxkkA/join ☕ Donate a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/eternalised 📘 PayPal https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/eternalisedofficial 🛒 Official Merch: https://eternalised.creator-spring.com 🎨 Access transcript and artwork gallery https://eternalisedofficial.com/2021/09/26/the-meaning-of-life ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 Recommended Reading ▶ Man and His Symbols – Carl Jung https://amzn.to/3lYyz94 ▶ The Gay Science – Friedrich Nietzsche https://amzn.to/36rijIf ▶ Finding Meaning in an Imperfect World – Iddo Landau https://amzn.to/3ELycbn ▶ Man’s Search for Meaning – Viktor Frankl https://amzn.to/34aiBkx 🎧 Prefer Audiobooks?

What is the meaning of death? It is the unequivocal and permanent end of our existence. Most people unconsciously repress the idea of their death, as it is too horrifying a notion to think about. Some are perhaps not so horrified of the idea of death, but rather the pain associated before one’s death, or the death of loved ones. We live entirely unique lives with complete different experiences, but we all share one common fate: Death. This is what links all of us together. Death smiles at us all and all we can do is smile back. In this video we will analyse death philosophically and psychologically: if it is undesirable, if it is to be feared and the misconceptions around the notion of death. Starting with the terror of death with Becker’s The Denial of Death and how to confront one’s mortality with the Stoic Memento Mori and Nietzsche’s Free Death “dying at the right time”. We’ll then discuss the Death of Socrates “the unexamined life is not worth living” and Carl Jung’s notions of Life and Death along with his near death experience. ⭐ Support this channel: https://www.patreon.com/eternalised 📺 YouTube Member Perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqos1tl0RntucGGtPXNxkkA/join ☕ Donate a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/eternalised 📘 PayPal https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/eternalisedofficial 🛒 Official Merch: https://eternalised.creator-spring.com 🎨 Access transcript and artwork gallery https://eternalisedofficial.com/2021/09/17/the-meaning-of-death/ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 Recommended Reading ▶ The Denial of Death - Ernest Becker https://amzn.to/2Z1FtmN ▶ Meditations - Marcus Aurelius https://amzn.to/35G2Tzk ▶ Discourses and Selected Writings - Epictetus https://amzn.to/3urYOIv ▶ Thus Spoke Zarathustra - Friedrich Nietzsche https://amzn.to/2F89V55 ▶ Memories, Dreams, Reflections – Carl Jung https://amzn.to/3dAcD0z 🎧 Prefer Audiobooks?
