Carl Jung

That's its low form.

You got to think of this as kind of like a Carl Jung evolution.

Its evolved form is the eagle.

The eagle is the highest flying form of life on earth.

We have introspection.

We have a lot of Carl Jung's psychological framework of the persona, the shadow, and the ego, and the exploration into that.

And we also have the idea of self-actualization.

I mean, this era turned us all into philosophers.

Yeah.

So blind spots are unique to that, that person and, you know, people are different, very different, but- With Carl Jung, and Carl Jung was the person who was the, what many people know as the ultimate psychologist and psychiatrist, and he came up with this idea of preferences.

So 100 years ago, he observed the fact that when he looked at a lot of hum- human behavior and communication, there would be certain preferences certain personalities would adopt, and he compartmentalized them into, you know, eight, eight different sort of personalities.

And the idea is that your blind spots will be different dependent on what your preferences are.

So it's good to think about things in phases.

Sometimes in high school, I was very enamored with Carl Jung and psychotherapy.

I wanted to be a psychotherapist.

I was just always someone that people came to to unleash all their personal talents.

You worked your way up this chain that I think of, as you told it, of impact.

Embracing your shadow self and understanding your shadow self so you have a better sense of who you are in the world allows you to have a bigger impact.

It's the Jungian approach.

I'm dramatically oversimplifying and paraphrasing, obviously.

And that is an honest conversation that you have to have with yourself so you are open to explore all the things that are out there for you.

I got really into to mindset and I came across this quote that said, it's one of my favorite quotes, it's by Carl Jung.

I think I talked about this in my very first podcast episode, and this is the why my business and the podcast and everything is named Create Your Fate.

And the quote is, "Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will rule your life and you will call it fate." And that quote struck me to my bones.

I love that.

Starting with the first emergence of Gnosticism, the author shows how Its influence extended from the teachings of Neoplatonists and the magical traditions of the Middle Ages to the beliefs and ideas of Sufis, Carl Jung, Rudolf Steiner, and the Rosicrucians and Freemasons.

In the language of spiritual Freemasonry, Gnostic is the rejected stone necessary for the completion of the temple, a temple of a new cosmic understanding that today's heirs of Gnosticism continue to strive to create.

The Gnostics... believe that the universe embodies a ceaseless contest between opposing principles.

You might need help to to get a God of your own that actually works, a real relationship with God that works.

Otherwise, you're going to keep acting out, which is pretty much the same words that Dr. Carl Jung used to Roland, right? In his story that Roland met Ebby, Ebby met Bill, and, you know, here we are.

Here

I am.

David Cronenberg

with Michael Fassbender, Viggo Mortensen and Keira Knightley, Carl Jung and Freud duking it out over a schizophrenic patient in a crazy Cronenberg dramatic period piece.

I fucking, it's great.

I love that movie.

And they're like, what the hell? It doesn't feel how it should feel.

And they have an identity crisis, right? This is part of the Carl Jung's individuation process where the man's identity is based on what he's achieved.

But when he realizes that when he gets to that achievement, it doesn't feel like he should, his whole world collapses.

Like his whole identity implodes.
