Brilliant discussion of the worst problem facing modern society. If we don't face this issue rationally, the world will have a sad future. Thanks for posting this.
Amazing video. As a magician myself I always saw these bad characters for what they truly are but never did see them embodying the shadow side of the magician. Very insightful
This was very insightful. I hope you'll be exploring more archetypes in the future. Very well researched! Your work definitely deserves more views/subscribers.
I really appreciate how you tied this archetype into the way the world of politics has been operating (against the people), and especially, seemingly, more so in recent years. You didn't say it quite that bluntly, but your intentions shine through. It's nice to know that there are those out there who recognize truth with impartiality. Your video is well done and easy to understand, Thank you
Thanks for such kind feedback, Kate. Our intention is to be as journalistic and impartial as possible, whilst tackling complex issues with integrity. It's encouraging to know this landed for you, and illuminated the deeper mechanics of the magician in the deceptive world of politics! Much more to come from us 🙏
It is oft said that a democracy cannot survive if its people are not educated. Understanding archetypes, and its power to elucidate and illuminate fundamental psychological and social constructs is essential in our primary education curriculum. We lost that knowledge when we walked away from the power of mythologies to embrace the complexity that is our psychosocial environment. We need a modern mythology to conceptualize all that the sciences have learned, else that knowledge is essentially worthless. This is a good start.
What a powerful reflection of the bigger picture within which this series is embedded. Thanks for such insightful feedback, Jon. We hope you keep tuning in for future videos! Ricky
The shadow is temporary and is only present and active in people who have not completed individuation and Self Realization (Salvation, moksha, Nirvana, enlightenment etc). When I began my journey of awakening 30 years ago, I was studying Jung and believed that the Self was dualistic and had a Light side and a dark Shadow side. This is true at first. However, the shadow is merely repressed instincts, emotions, feelings, complexes, and wounds that we have incurred as evolving souls. The purgation phases of the arduous awakening process clear and rid the Soul of 99% of the shadow. The Self is not merely an archetype. The Self is your True Nature, which is Spiritual. The Self is Light and is Divine.
Thanks your insight! Nick and I share interest in the overlap of Jungian duality and paths of self-realisation, which is implicit Archetypes of Awakening. We expand upon this more directly in Decoding the Sovereign - would love to hear your thoughts on that 🙏🏻 Ricky
When you say " prone to conspiracy theories", it seems hard to find a middle ground where you do not naively go along with the party line, without being dubbed a conspiracy theorist. I mean, just mentioned to guy arms folded 4:45 in the image of the HItler rally, he would have been dubbed a conspiracy nut.
I feel like you're just stating your opinion and not facts to back up your claims. Academy of ideas channel and Eternalised channel are the real deal, your channel is trying to mimick their style and valid work.
These are all aspects of a game. Knowledge about this stuff helps no one. If this stuff is ancient and didnt help any of us for this long - its not gonna change. Its a last ditch effort of the game to throw us a bone. Adistraction. And this guy who sounds like he knows what hes talking about FELL FOR A PIECE OR PIECES OF A GAME. THE ONLY HEALING WE WILL EVER EXPERIENCE IS BY DOING IT OURSELVES & thats long painful & boring IF we can do it. Its a game you guys & thats all that we know for sure
Fascists were normal people in extraordinary circumstances. We're arriving here again. Death and suffering is not a bad thing, it is natural. It is sweet and beautiful. A good thing for the world.
