Dr. Sandra Portco you are an amazing teacher in how you are able to simply complicated scenarios. You are also amazing in that you allow others to take the stage when it is you that are on it. You are very respectful Thank you for your work you put into helping all spirits arise beyond as Carl Gustan Jung did and still does
for months now i am having difficulty grasping the concepts of Carl Jung such as the Collective Unconscious and the Archetypes but thank you the uploader of the video and to Dr. Portko I can now understand it more clearer!
The archetype to complex relation like magnetic energy makes sense to me 36:00 I think calling it energy is more literal than you might think. Everything is energy.
Amazing lecture. Just a little feedback. When people in the audience ask a question it is good for the videob audience to have the question read out. E.g. "So someone just asked 'whatever whatever?'". Then answer the question. Thanks :)
Why are we connected to untangle things, things of past even if we haven't been told about? Like myths of the past? Why do they resurfaced in the unconscious, and so familiar yet not known to us?
I love your example, (visualization/metaphor) of the individual/collective consciousness and the PVC in a child's swimming pool then relating to archetypes and life in a broader sense. It was like dominoes falling as the concept came together in my mind with so many other concepts fitting in. I'd like to add that I was born in 1955 and was very much involved in the (counter) culture of using psychedelics, like LSD, peyote, and Psilocybin mushrooms to lift the veil and explore Jung's, Nietzsche's, Freud's, and Carlos Castaneda's ideas of life. If I may quote the song, "It's a phallic symbol If it's longer than it's wide, and the ID goes marching on!" (lol) I did ramble on here so thank you for your attention and your wonderful insights 🥀
Interesting intro to Jung. I think what gets missed here though is the incredible And meaningful Connection he made With psychology, Anthropology, mythology and History To produce an accurate and understandable construct that benefits the world beyond the realm of psychology. The hero archetype alone Could be studied In fascinating depth to the extent that one wonders how he could have known what he did. He is reported to have worked with a thousand plus schizophrenic patients, And he himself Struggled with psychosis. In a world where schizophrenia is so stigmatized, he, like many shamans and medicine men before him seemed to "swim With delight in The same waters in which the psychotic drowns" (Joseph Campbell)
Thank you for explaining Jung better. I'm learning things here!! Amazing he was having warnings of the impending war. I'll bet that's when he decided he was really Dominant Ni. This brought him out of his depression.
I'm having warnings of impending war from the crazy things being said in neocon think tanks. But whatever my scepticism about Jung I agree this was an enlightening lecture.
I personally totally relate to the idea that fundamental motivating force is to grow there is so much more to know. However, in my experience that is just me relating to it. Not everybody see it that way. There are some people I was talking to recently were saying.. because we cannot find all there is to find, we might get disappointed and frustrated and thereby they prefer to settle to living an aimeless, living in the moment kind of life, not chasing any mission, any purpose as such.. Just do what is coming there way. If that is their personal choice, what is wrong with it, I wonder? because not all people have to follow same set of principles.. that is why we are different in our own ways right.. I would love to know what you guys think about it?
Where does the subconscious congregated, or what is the Matrix that feeds, the spliced from man to man, yet how is it possible that is able to reconstruct a past not known to men or women that are reliving the myth of their ancestors, retelling the hero story, the Creators story? What cavity are we filling in our story🌽⚡🌞🌼👂🐉
Im 23 yrs old high IQ shitposter with miserable past. Im going with Jesus as the Self for a while now. Thats so powerfull. Since then my anxietes disappeared, my family is stronger, my friendships are deepened and my dicipline is sharpened.
If anyone is interested in more information regarding archetypes Dr. Jordan B Peterson is heavily influenced by Jung and has a free online lecture course entitled maps of meaning which dives into the subject quite extensively.
Piotrek Markowicz Don't bastardise the work of a great man to the eyes of unknowing people without a shred of factual argument, just empty accusations. Give a few reasons, hell, give one, to support that shit. I suggest you dont bother searching, rather give up now, and retract you false statement.
Plotrek "Left" and "Right" and "Progressive" and "Conservative" are convenient descriptors of positions. They are NOT irreconcilable and conflicting Cultures at War. Stop letting these words be turned into dog-whistles to Attack at. I most often support the Liberal/Leftist side of political argument, and I can assure you that Jordan Peterson is not inclined to stoop so low as to contaminate his ambitions for practicing therapy with propaganda or brain washing techniques. In fact, he spends Very much of his time telling his students and audience and clients how to be cautious around manipulative voices in media, education and even therapy/counseling. Sure, he is coming from a personal foundation that appreciates a traditional family structure, and believes that the dynamics experienced within that structure are ideal conditions for human expression and security and health. But you can catch him pointing out how the basic dynamic isn't excluded to gay couples and families. He just doesn't Focus on this angle. Point is, he does believe in traditional family Structure, and he speaks in that framework, but none of his positions are as gendered or hetero-specific as intimidated critics from the left and in acedamia like to claim. He practices therapy because he wants to help people gain access to their reservoirs of personal strength. And yes, he will tell you that trying too hard to deconstruct traditional models can end up stripping us of sources of emotional health that have been effective for millennia. And, sure this is effectively "conservative", but that's fucking fine. The noble function of a conservative voice in a political arena is to apply Brakes to the explorative and experimental thrust of the progressive. To maintain our social connection to what structures are considered worth Preserving. Without this, society would completely Dissolve as new models replace EVERY model, leaving us with Nothing that can be demonstrated to Reliably Work in our benefit. If you can't maintain your personal values when exposed to challenging--or just simply Different!--value models, then you have a Really flimsy grasp on your values, and that is NOT the world's fault, NOR it's responsibility. Stop fucking feeding the ideological rift that sensationalist media is carelessly prying at between our community for the capitalist preference or Profit (and "clicks") over Principles.
Amazing lecture. Just a little feedback. When people in the audience ask a question it is good for the videob audience to have the question read out. E.g. "So someone just asked 'whatever whatever?'". Then answer the question. Thanks :)
When can we go beyond shallow judgements (glib, appearance, etc) and look at the depth Dr. Portko is sharing with us. Thank you for your presentation. Loved it.
Given the example of the birthing clinic,are the 'happy vibes' a subjective response to a predetermined phenomena of this external 'energy field' or is it that a successful birth is an innately happy event and we ourselves generate a 'happiness energy' that then permeates the collective unconscious ? In other words how much of our interaction with the collective unconscious is a 2 way street?
@25,10 I see it more like a bio-dynamic system. Grounded in genetics, epigenetic, expressed trough the brain structure, expressed trough instincts, manifestation in the unconsciousness, complexes,.... A self regulating system to balance out the ego and the interaction with the outside world, Environment, Zeitgeist,.... From down to the top and back, an endless feedback system, which triggers pattern of behavior (archetypes)
Thanks, for your presentation its very interesting, and the title is appropriate: Our connection to something bigger. Its surprising how many people haven't heard of Jung today, and how many don't know the history of psychology itself.
The Most informative thing you can read on Jung is the forward to the portable Jung By Joseph Campbell. The Penguin edition is better than the Viking edition which has a redacted interpretation of one of Jung's own dreams. Campbell was a close friend of Jung. Most Jungainians prefer Hulls interpretation which is far less nuanced.
You're a fabulous teacher! Thank you for this sharing this lecture. I loved it and found it very helpful. I couldn't hear any of the audience questions because they weren't miked, as you probably. Maybe if you record another lecture, you'd recap the questions for us so we could hear the questions too. Many thanks. I'll look for more lectures from you.
loved this..very informative... jung had some unique views on the human condition for sure... i agree with his notion of a collective subconscious.... with some garbled dream like comunication method.... fascinating!
This is so inaccurate it is appalling. The "forerunner to the lie detector" ie: word association, was a development of a concept from Wilhelm Wundt and it had nothing to do with Jung's PhD which was "the psychology and pathology of so-called Occult phenomena" A dissertation on a medium. Freud wrote "Interpretation of Dreams" in 1900 which was before Jung started his PhD. It was in the Interpretation of Dreams that the archaic levels of mythology and their correlation to patient's fantasies were first expressed in the literature. Jung admits that when it first came out he had not enough experience to understand it and he returned to it 6 years later. All these mistakes and more in the first 7 minutes! And this woman has a PhD?
I've taken pre-employment lie detector tests and each time my responses were recorded as flat straight lines regardless if I was being truthful or not.
9:11 into this and nothing I can use against a Jungian management tool I am going to be subjected too. I do not care if Jung is a jew or not . I only want to learn the subject of archetypes. This lecturer is boring and far from concise.
Personally I have no reaction to Archetypes nor have they ever reminded me of anything or held any significance to me regardless of how they are used or applied. Much in the same way I do not respond to advertising. I cannot think of even one occasion where an advertisement prompted me to buy something or even influenced my decision on which product to buy.
