CHAPTER

Facing Existential Fear and Mortality

The chapter explores the acceptance of mortality and facing existential fears by shedding dependencies and embracing authenticity. It discusses contrasting views of personalities from Kierkegaard to Freud, the importance of shedding illusions for self-realization, and the conflicts between scientific materialism and the yearning for transcendence. The conversation also delves into the complex relationship between Freud and Jung, their differing perspectives on human behavior, immortality, and the reluctance to address mystical aspects in psychoanalysis.
