I must create a system or be enslaved by another mans; I will not reason and compare: my business is to create. - William Blake
Where does luck lie in these analytics, cuz I'm telling you. That is an unconscious defining characteristic in some personalities and they live to know it lol
"The insights on self-discipline through the lens of Marcus Aurelius and Stoic philosophy are truly eye-opening. I appreciate how the concepts are broken down into practical steps that anyone can apply in their daily life. This is a powerful reminder of the timeless wisdom of Stoicism and how building inner strength and self-discipline can lead to a more fulfilling and purposeful life. Keep up the great work-this content is incredibly motivating and inspiring!"
The way you explain Taoist principles is amazing! It feels so relevant to modern life, and I appreciate how you've made these ancient teachings so accessible
Dear shadow, show me my gifts untouched and feared so I can function in this life experience as a whole being and not functioning from a fractured feeling and fearing some of the ways I view things. 🙏🏻
All is BS. Life emerges and then it is about having fun. That's it. There is nothing more to it in the entire existence, multiverse, or whatever you want to call it. Whatever you do is meaningless if it doesn't lead to "eventually" having fun, and that includes surviving, raising children and being responsible in society to have a "better life" (fun).
Regarding the intro. Not sure I would have put Mandela on that great minds list. Not sorry. Great guy and all but not deserving to be on that particular list. Felt like a last minute ad-on to the list.
Did anyone else notice how the narrator got emotional towards the end when talking about how one must be strong and resilient etc? I would hazard a guess and say that the creator of this channel is quite insecure and hasn’t really accepted themselves; and so they speak highly of “influential people”, benchmarking against them. They talk about how you “must” do XYZ in order to succeed. This is a pattern I’ve seen in many men in particular. Our social conditioning makes us believe that we have to be strong, which often means repressing our emotions. We cling to the titans of philosophy and psychology (cf the appropriation of stoicism by “bros”), as if rational understanding will solve our problems. Could it be that when one feels powerless, inducing some cold rationality leveraged on famous thinkers makes us feel in control? I appreciate that we’re all on a never-ending journey, but one of the key issues in the modern world is that a traumatised kid can easily gain power on the internet and unintentionally mislead massive groups of other traumatised kids… Be sceptical of anyone who seeks to gain power - whether they be a politician, journalist or a RU-vidr. There will always be plenty of fools who will follow them blindly, but it doesn’t have to be you. If you’re curious about Jung, go read Jung’s original works and don’t look for a shortcut.
This video makes me want to think about my life and look in the "shadow" within myself. I'm not really sure if I want to acknowledge all of what hides in me but at least I try, it sure will be better than to sleep and slack off in rest of my miserable existence. Thank you for that educating video.
Wednesday, September 25th 2024, going to start a journey practicing virtue character and changing myself for the better. Will provide updates every 3 months. See you on Christmas Day.
If Carl Jung had been a fantasy writer in his day, he might have given Tolkien a run for his money. The entirety of LOTR and The Hobbit is basically his lessons in action.
Freddie had an amazing skill in exposing the absurdity of other philosophers and in constructing a completely absurd philosophy of his own. Anti Christianity turned his brilliant mind stupid? The eternal recurrence?? The superman??? A book entitled "Why I am so wise"??? Vanity makes the cleverest men stupid.
Anger can help you get your work done when you don't want to do it. Fear is reacting to possibilities that haven't or may not happen. Greed, not advantageous except in times of dire means. Use childishness to have fun and not worry. Pride and Jealousy define your ego so be careful to keep honest with yourself.
I see I am completely not capable of self reflection or understanding what others try to teach me. People around me make progress in life and in the mental development I have stayed the same and even worsen some aspects. 😢
Cheesy graphics, pretentious-sounding voiceover, misspelling(s)…but great, valuable content, especially if you have some familiarity with Jungian ideas already. 👍
Stop trying to neglect your dark aspects. We are all flawed in really ugly ways and accepting that is the only way to be mindful about it and keep control. If you talk about your own shadow as being some trash aspects of your psyche that you don't like and should stay hidden then you are neglecting your own self. Our self is not made out of honey and milk, sorry women and pussy minded guys. (would've said "feminine minded" but that's actually something good and valuable and most women and men don't use). I know you want the human psyche to be simple and nice but it's not. It's much more than that and you trying to reduce it to feelings and some low self esteem type of shit, just doesn't help you. Our psyche is made out of 3 parts, and want it or not, one part is ugly. If you don't integrate all your aspects truthfully, then you will be the slave of the things you neglect, as they will act out in long term, in ways you will not like. As a fellow human to my fellow humans, please stop being a little bitch and accept your darkness as that is your gift from your ancestors. They did not go through wars, famine and horrible acts of cruelty for you to neglect them and say they are non existent. If your ancestors would come back to life in a few years they would smack all of you in the head for being stupid and child like, treating the most powerful part of your psyche like it doesn't exist or is just a flawed side of the human psyche.
This video came in a time where I’m battling with my tendency to avoid embracing my fears, negative feelings and insecurities. It’s honestly like trying to climb up a tall mountain with no experience or knowledge. After listening to this, I feel like I’ve got a guided process to overcome my fears and insecurities. ❤
Acknowledge that you are angry but don't accept that you are an angry person. Better yourself but also accept yourself as you are...what the absolute fuck are you telling people? Shadow self??? This ain't an anime ffs. This is dumb mumbo jumbo. The only thing to pull away from this is that you need to get off these dumb videos and take action. You already know what you need to do to be happy but you aren't doing it. Suffer a bit today and be happier later that's all. This video is 20 minutes of nothingness. Do yourself a favor and skip it. Go outside and look at birds or something.
