Peter Pan syndrome

And there is a profound, terrifying danger in living backward.

The most immediate consequence of this mass retreat is a collective, generation-wide manifestation of Peter Pan syndrome.

But this isn't the

Hello from the Magic Tavern is an independent production made possible by supporters of the Magic Tavern Patreon.

The term in Latin is Puer Aeternus, and it was coined by Jung and made more popular by Marie-Louise von Franz, which was one of his last students.

It's also known as Peter Pan syndrome.

Essentially, I never want to grow up, right? And we see this a lot because Jung talks about this and Robert Moore talks about it as well, where in order to grow up, Men have to face the most difficult aspect of what it means to be alive, which is severing from what once served as God.

So allow me to elaborate for just a fragment of a moment here.
