Philosophies for Life

In this podcast we will be talking about how to know your true self using Jungian Archetypes according to the philosophy of Carl Jung. Carl Jung's psychology is called analytical psychology and his philosophy is dubbed as “Jungian philosophy”. Jung’s most famous theory is ‘the individuation process.’  Carl Jung introduced the world to the idea of archetypes - common personality patterns that exist in everyone’s mind. These archetypes affect how we think, act, and interact with the world. Imagine waking up with no memory of who you are—no name, no past, no identity. Yet, even with this blank slate, something inside you pulls in a certain direction. Maybe you feel an instinct to protect others, an unshakable drive to explore the unknown, or a knack for bending situations to your advantage. As you observe the world, patterns emerge. Some people step forward with confidence, while others linger in the background. Some deceive, some nurture, some fight for justice, and others thrive in chaos. At first, it seems random, but then a realization hits—you’re not alone in this. People everywhere are shaped by unseen forces, playing out roles they may not even be aware of. You can think of Jung’s archetypes as universal patterns that shape how we think, feel, and act. They appear across cultures and time periods, persisting in myths, stories, and even our daily lives. And these roles aren’t confined to fiction. They shape us in the real world. A young entrepreneur fighting for a vision is living the Hero’s journey. A mentor guiding others embodies the Wise Old Man. A disruptor challenging the status quo channels the Trickster. These patterns influence how we see ourselves, the choices we make, and the way we navigate life - often without us even realising it. So, which archetypes are shaping you?  So here are the steps you need to take to truly know yourself using Jungian Archetypes according to the philosophy of Carl Jung. 01. Understanding the Structure of Your Psyche 02. Understanding different Archetypes 03. Analyse your dreams   04. Pay attention to your archetypes in your waking life 05. Integrate Archetypes for Personal Growth I hope you enjoyed listening to this podcast and hope that this wisdom on how to truly know yourself using Jungian Archetypes according to the philosophy of Carl Jung,  will be helpful in your life.  Carl Jung, together with Sigmund Freud and Alfred Adler, is one of the 3 founders of psychoanalysis which is a set of psychological theories and methods aiming to release repressed emotions and experiences - in other words, to make the unconscious conscious. Jung was born in Switzerland in 1875 and died in 1961, leaving behind great works in the fields of psychiatry, anthropology, archaeology, literature, philosophy, psychology and religious studies. Jung had Freud as a mentor for a good part of his career but later he departed from him. This division was painful for Jung and it led him to found his own school of psychology, called analytical psychology as a comprehensive system separate from psychoanalysis. If classical psychoanalysis focuses on the patient’s past, as early experiences are very important in personality development, analytical psychology primarily focuses on the present, on mythology, folklore, and cultural experiences, to try to understand human consciousness. One of the most important ideas of analytical psychology which Jung founded is the process of individuation, which is the process of finding the self - something Jung considered an important task in human development. While he did not formulate a systematic philosophy, he is nonetheless considered a sophisticated philosopher - his school of thought dubbed “Jungian philosophy”. Its concepts can apply to many topics covered in the humanities and the social sciences. A good part of his work was published after his death and indeed there are still some articles written by him that to this day have yet to be published. Some of his most important books are: “Psychology of the Unconscious”, “Man and His Symbols”, “The Archetypes and The Collective Unconscious”, “Modern Man In Search of a Soul”, “The Psychology of the Transference”, “Memories, Dreams, Thoughts”, and “The Relations Between the Ego and the Unconscious”. Besides being a great writer and a researcher, he was also an artist, a craftsman and even a builder. His contribution is enormous and there is a great deal we can learn from his works.

In this podcast we will talk about how the joy of being alone, these lessons on solitude are from the greatest philosophers -  Socrates, Buddha, Marcus Aurelius and Friedrich Nietzsche. Every hour of every day we are being bombarded with all sorts of information, and most of the time it's information that we don't even want to know. With the rapid rise of technology and the capitalist society we live in, we can often find ourselves overwhelmed with what's happening around us because everything is changing so quickly and all we do is just try to find a way to adapt to the situation that we find ourselves in.  In a society where the true value of oneself is what one has achieved, we could even say that we have transformed from a human being to a human doing. We're constantly striving for something more and are constantly driven by a strong desire to climb up the ladder of success. That is why you might feel too much weight on your shoulders and think that the real solution is to isolate yourself from the world around you and take a break. Also, as a society, our rate of social interactions has increased significantly. Everyone that you could ever wish to contact is just a click away, and we are given this ability to establish communication in just a few seconds. The internet can connect us with people from all around the world, but at the same time it disconnects us from ourselves. This is because we are constantly speaking our thoughts and are being exposed to other people's opinions. What we don't realize is that while we are hearing what other people think, we rarely stop to listen to our very own thoughts. There's a creative genius inside all of us, and in today's world it's really hard to realize your true potential. And that is why solitude might be the solution to unlocking your true potential and offering what you have out into the world. Solitude has been a practice that almost every intellectual goes through and it's almost as if it's a necessary step to take in order to achieve greatness. We can see that all throughout history the greatest minds had to go through the same process of isolating and finding themselves in order to understand who they really are and find what they are looking for.  Here are the benefits of solitude 01. Self-Discovery And Personal Growth 02. Emotional Balance 03. Increased Level Of Creativity And Innovation 04. Spiritual Growth I hope you enjoyed listening to this podcast and hope these 4 benefits of solitude  from the philosophy of from the philosophies of Socrates, Buddha, Marcus Aurelius and Friedrich Nietzsche will add value to your life.

Arjuna faces a serious existential crisis on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, where he struggles with doubts and confusion about his duty. As he prepares to fight, he feels torn because he has to battle against his own family, teachers, and friends. This heavy burden of sorrow and compassion makes him question if the war is right and whether he should even fight at all. During this difficult time, Krishna steps in to help Arjuna. He is not just a divine figure; he is a caring mentor who understands Arjuna’s internal conflict. Krishna realizes that Arjuna’s struggle reflects challenges we all experience in life. Through the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita, he offers advice that goes beyond the battle, touching on key concepts such as duty, action without attachment and the importance of devotion. The bhagavad Gita is a 700-verse Hindu text that is part of the Indian epic Mahabharata. It tells the story of a deep conversation between Arjuna and Krishna just before going into battle. In this conversation, Krishna shares important spiritual wisdom and guidance to help Arjuna deal with his inner struggles and confusion about fighting in the war. It is important to note that the Bhagavad Gita isn’t promoting actual warfare or physical conflict; instead, it uses the battlefield as a metaphor for the inner struggle against the ignorance and moral dilemmas we experience.And just like Arjuna, we all deal with conflicts and tough decisions. Krishna's wisdom for Arjuna; well it's for all of us

In this podcast we will be talking about  how to listen to your subconscious mind from  the philosophy of Carl Jung. Carl Jung's psychology is called analytical psychology and his philosophy is dubbed as “Jungian philosophy”. Jung’s most famous theory is ‘the individuation process.’  Carl Jung, a Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, believed that our subconscious mind is like a hidden treasure chest, full of valuable information and insights that can help us understand ourselves better and become more whole. Inside, it holds our deepest thoughts, fears, desires, and memories - many of which we might not even be aware of. By exploring this hidden part of our mind, we can understand why we act the way we do and heal from past wounds. Moreover, our subconscious mind can reveal talents and potential we never knew we had, opening up new possibilities for personal and professional growth. Jung divided the unconscious mind into two parts: the personal unconscious and the collective unconscious. The personal unconscious is made up of all the things specific to an individual that they are not aware of or deny, like hidden emotions, desires, and memories. Jung called this the shadow.  The collective unconscious, on the other hand, is a deeper layer that includes feelings, thoughts, and instincts shared by all humans. Jung believed that we all inherit certain traits and tendencies, which he called "archetypes." These archetypes are universal symbols and themes that have been part of human history and can be seen in myths, fairy tales, and religious stories. Jung’s teachings highlight the importance of exploring the subconscious to achieve individuation, which means becoming your true, complete self by unlocking the hidden potential we all have within us.  So here are ways you can listen to your subconscious mind from  the philosophy of Carl Jung. 01. Listen to your shadow 02. Get to know your archetypes 03. Analyse your dreams 04. Practice Active imagination  05. Observe Synchronicities I hope you enjoyed listening to this podcast and hope that this wisdom on how to listen to your subconscious mind  from the philosophy of Carl Jung will be helpful in your life.  Carl Jung, together with Sigmund Freud and Alfred Adler, is one of the 3 founders of psychoanalysis which is a set of psychological theories and methods aiming to release repressed emotions and experiences - in other words, to make the unconscious conscious.

In this podcast we will be talking about how your dark side can make you a hero, according to the philosophy of Carl Jung. Carl Jung's psychology is called analytical psychology and his philosophy is dubbed as “Jungian philosophy”. Jung’s most famous theory is ‘the individuation process.’  According to Jung, the human mind or psyche is made up of the conscious mind, which we are aware of, and the unconscious mind, which we are not aware of. Our unconscious mind is further divided into the personal unconscious, where things we've forgotten or repressed reside, and the collective unconscious, which holds shared memories and ideas of humanity known as archetypes. Archetypes are universal, symbolic patterns and themes that recur across cultures and throughout history. One of the key archetypes is "The Hero," representing the individual's journey towards self-discovery and growth. Although absolutely related, this is not to be confused with the immensely popular Hero's Journey storytelling mechanic, where a protagonist goes on an adventure, overcomes an obstacle, grows from the experience, and goes home. This Hero's Journey often involves confronting and integrating the shadow, another important concept in Jungian philosophy. The shadow lives in the personal unconscious and is the part of our mind where we hide all the traits and desires we don't like or can't accept about ourselves, such as anger, jealousy, or fear. Although the shadow might seem scary or mysterious, understanding and accepting it is vital for personal growth. By facing these hidden parts of ourselves, we stop wasting energy on hiding them and instead use that energy positively. This process of integrating your shadow, your dark side, helps you become more whole and balanced, which is key to becoming the Hero in your own life. Which is why in this video, we will be talking about what the hero archetype is, and how embracing your darkness could be the key to becoming a hero. So here are the steps you need to take so that your dark side can make you a hero, according to the philosophy of Carl Jung. 01. Get To Know The Hero Archetype 02. Get To Know Your Darkness 03. Face The Darkness 04. Face The Light 05. Be Yourself I hope you enjoyed listening to this podcast and hope that this wisdom on how to your dark side can make you a hero,  from the philosophy of Carl Jung will be helpful in your life.  Carl Jung, together with Sigmund Freud and Alfred Adler, is one of the 3 founders of psychoanalysis which is a set of psychological theories and methods aiming to release repressed emotions and experiences - in other words, to make the unconscious conscious.

In this podcast we will be talking about  the steps you need to take so that your dark side can reveal your life's purpose, according to the philosophy of Carl Jung. Carl Jung's psychology is called analytical psychology and his philosophy is dubbed as “Jungian philosophy”. Jung’s most famous theory is ‘the individuation process.’  According to Jung, the entirety of an individual’s being can be described by our psyche: encompassing all our conscious and unconscious aspects. At the center of our consciousness which is everything we are aware of - is our ego. But there is so much outside of the ego that we do not acknowledge. In the center of our unconscious, meaning everything that is hidden to us, lies our shadow or our dark side. According to Jung, in our unconscious lies the key to finding our purpose in life. This is because the purpose of your life is not something objective or universal: it is something unique to you. The purpose of life, according to Carl Jung, has nothing to do with what you achieve. It has to do with who you are and how you act.  In this video we will talk about the steps you need to take so that your dark side can reveal your life's purpose, according to the philosophy of Carl Jung.

He found his own school of psychology, called analytical psychology and his philosophy is dubbed as “Jungian philosophy”. Jung’s most famous theory is ‘the individuation process.’  Carl Jung became immensely famous for his theory on ‘the individuation process’ - an almost step by step plan that seeks to fulfill your psyche’s potential by trying to make the unconscious conscious. The most important part of the unconsciousness to focus on for this practice is what Jung called ‘the shadow’, or your dark side. The shadow contains all the aspects of yourself that you’d rather not have and are in denial about, your bad traits and darkest side. The shadow is what you try to pretend you don’t have, even to the point of convincing yourself. Examples of traits the shadow could house are explosive anger, jealousy, envy, greed, pride, laziness, vanity, and so on...  Generally, we tend to be completely unaware of our shadow: it’s in our unconscious. But the suppressing of your unconsciousness is exactly what sustains unhappiness, inauthenticity, and misery. While you might think your shadow sounds more like your enemy than your friend, in this video we’ll explain why that’s not true; why you should consider your dark side your friend. Here’s why your dark side or your shadow side is your friend -  01. Your Dark Side Can Reveal Your True Self 02. Your Dark Side Can Give You Advice 03. Your Dark Side Can Help You Be Unique  04.
