The Psychology of Immature Femininity

In her 1984 book, Goddesses in Everywoman: Powerful Archetypes in Women’s Lives, psychiatrist and Jungian analyst Jean Shinoda Bolen delves into seven feminine archetypes within woman’s psyche, based on the goddesses of ancient Greece, whose names and mythologies have endured for more than three thousand years. Myths are not mere fictitious stories or fantasies of the human mind, but perennially recurring patterns that describe fundamental concerns of the human condition. What fulfils one woman may mean little to another, depending on which feminine archetype is constellated (or activated). Knowledge of the feminine archetypes provides women with vital information about their psychological difficulties, allowing them not just to understand themselves, but also their relationship with others. They also explain some of the difficulties and affinities women have with men. Knowledge of the “goddesses” provides useful information for men too. Men who want to understand women better can use feminine archetypes to learn that there are different types of women and what to expect from them. When you recognise the forces influencing you, you move closer to fulfilling the age-old maxim, “know thyself.” If you can learn about your own patterns of being, you can save yourself from some suffering. 📨 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⭐ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🛒 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Official merch⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 Recommended Reading ▶ Goddesses in Everywoman: Powerful Archetypes in Women's Lives https://amzn.to/4ewYjU1 🎧 Prefer Audiobooks?

The Psychology of Immature Masculinity

The crisis in mature masculinity is very much upon us. Men feel anxious, on the verge of feeling impotent, helpless, frustrated, unloved, unappreciated, and often ashamed of being masculine. Something vital is missing in the many lives of men. For students of mythology and Jungian psychology, there is hope. The external deficiencies we face—absent fathers, immature role models, a lack of meaningful rituals, and the scarcity of ritual elders—can be overcome if we look within ourselves, and turn towards the archetypes of the mature masculine within our unconscious. In King, Warrior, Magician, Lover: Rediscovering the Archetypes of the Mature Masculine, Robert Moore and Douglas Gillette explore the difference between Boy psychology or the archetypes of immature masculinity and Man psychology or the archetypes of mature masculinity, as well as their shadow sides. “The more beautiful, competent, and creative we become, the more we seem to invite the hostility of our superiors, or even of our peers. What we are really being attacked by is the immaturity in human beings who are terrified of our advances on the road toward masculine or feminine fullness of being.” 🛒 ⁠⁠⁠⁠Official merch⁠⁠⁠⁠ ☕ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Donate a coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⭐ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📨 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 Recommended Reading ▶ King, Warrior, Magician, Lover: Rediscovering the Archetypes of the Mature Masculine https://amzn.to/3BJI1cz 🎧 Prefer Audiobooks?

Through the Labyrinth: A Guide to Navigating Chaos

Confusion, wandering, isolation, darkness, disorientation—all evoke the labyrinth, a complex network of paths in which it is difficult to find one’s way out. Or do they? The labyrinth’s original meaning has been entirely distorted, which is only to be expected from such a perplexing symbol. Today, the labyrinth is found everywhere: in architecture, art, books, movies, and games. The labyrinth is an archetype, a primordial image that dates back to the Bronze Age (around 2500 to 2000 BC), making it one of the oldest symbols. The archetypal image of the labyrinth fundamentally expresses the path of life, full of dark corners and unexpected turns. If we overcome them, we are transformed and enlightened – if not, we become disoriented and find life meaningless. The labyrinth is an archetype, a primordial image that dates back to the Bronze Age (around 2500 to 2000 BC), making it one of the oldest symbols. It encompasses various images: the path of life, the Earth Mother, birth, dance, warding off evil, initiation, liminality, the descent into the underworld, symbolic death and rebirth, the journey to the Self, the alchemical Great Work and the pilgrim’s spiritual journey. 🛒 ⁠⁠⁠Official merch⁠⁠⁠ ☕ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Donate a coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⭐ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📨 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⌛ Timestamps (0:00) Introduction (1:55) The Labyrinth as The Path of Life (3:26) The Classical or Archetypal Labyrinth (4:19) Labyrinth of Egypt (5:03) The Labyrinth and The Maze (9:18) Anxiety is the Dizziness of Freedom (11:24) Time is a Labyrinth (12:25) The Labyrinth and The Minotaur (17:25) The Origins of The Mythical Labyrinth (19:52) Archetypal Symbolism of The Labyrinth (24:42) The Labyrinth: Descent into Hell (28:03) The Labyrinth and Alchemy (30:56) The Journey to The Centre (The Self) (32:34) From Earth to Heaven to Earth (34:16) The Medieval Labyrinth: Spiritual Journey (35:15) The Labyrinth as The Pilgrim’s Journey (39:25) Conclusion ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 Recommended Reading ▶ Through the labyrinth: designs and meanings over 5,000 years - Hermann Kern https://amzn.to/4e5WAW1 ▶ Labyrinth of the World and Paradise of the Heart - John Amos Comenius https://amzn.to/4dWV0WV ▶ Labyrinths: Selected Stories & Other Writings - Jorge Luis Borges https://amzn.to/3Z2LCvW ▶ Pilgrim’s Progress - John Bunyan https://amzn.to/3yZl9VK ▶ The Divine Comedy: Inferno; Purgatorio; Paradiso - Dante Alighieri https://amzn.to/3zkiHZQ 🎧 Prefer Audiobooks?

The Psychology of Animals

Animals have been an integral part of human existence since our earliest origins. They are deeply ingrained within us and play a crucial role in the unconscious. In various religions, animals are revered as gods. Swiss psychiatrist and psychologist Carl Jung frequently remarked that animals embodied the divine aspect of the human psyche. He wrote a bold statement for a thinker of his era, "Even domestic animals, to whom we erroneously deny a conscience, have complexes and moral reactions.” We belong to the animal kingdom, and knowing this is part of the individuation process, the journey towards wholeness. Yet, we seem to have forgotten our roots. The animal is a symbol of the Self. It embodies the complete wisdom of nature yet does not possess the light of human consciousness. Animals are deeply connected to a “secret” order within nature itself and the absolute knowledge of the unconscious, living according to their own inner laws beyond human notions of good and evil. Animals live exactly as they were meant to live, and grasp a sense of wholeness instinctively, rather than intellectually. They are the ones who can lead us to this source of natural life. 🛒 ⁠⁠Official merch⁠⁠ ☕ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Donate a coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⭐ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📨 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⌛ Timestamps (0:00) Introduction (2:45) Animals: The Divine Side of The Human Psyche (7:42) Animals in the Unconscious (8:46) Our Animal Instincts and Symbolic Animals (12:08) The Helpful Animal Motif (15:36) The Archetypal Symbolism of Animals (18:05) The Psychology of The Cat (25:50) The Psychology of The Dog (33:53) The Psychology of The Horse (37:35) The Psychology of The Bull and Cow (40:30) The Psychology of The Lion (45:43) The Psychology of The Serpent (58:05) Conclusion ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 Recommended Reading ▶ Archetypal Symbolism in Animals – Barbara Hannah https://amzn.to/3AaM1lW ▶ Grimm’s Fairy Tales https://amzn.to/3WwtBDk ▶ The Interpretation of Fairy Tales – Marie-Louise von Franz https://amzn.to/3yxI8qt ▶ Archetypal Patterns in Fairy Tales – Marie-Louise von Franz https://amzn.to/3Wm2ta4 ▶ The Cat: A Tale of Feminine Redemption – Marie-Louise von Franz https://amzn.to/3ya7Z80 ▶ Animal Presences: Uniform Edition of the Writings of James Hillman, Vol. 9 https://amzn.to/3Wwgylq ▶ Aesop’s Tales https://amzn.to/4fqrhGO ▶ Medieval Book of Beasts https://amzn.to/4foDzPT 🎧 Prefer Audiobooks?

The Psychology of UFOs - Carl Jung

Strange sightings have been reported in the sky throughout history. After the Second World War, however, the appearance of UFOs became prominent in culture. Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Carl Jung studied the UFO phenomenon for more than a decade until his death in 1961. He wrote a book entitled Flying Saucers: A Modern Myth of Things Seen in the Skies, where he saw UFOs as a living myth for modern man, stating that we have the golden opportunity of seeing how a legend is formed, and how in a difficult and dark time for humanity a miraculous tale grows up of an attempted intervention by superior or “heavenly” beings. Jung’s field of interest is the human reaction to the phenomena, an effort to understand the complex working of our interior life, as this is revealed through the UFO phenomenon. UFOs are visionary rumours whose basis is an emotional tension having its cause in a situation of collective distress or danger, or in a vital psychic need – shedding light on the psychic compensation of the collective fear weighing on our hearts. UFOs have become a saviour myth, as we have projected on them a hope, an expectation. They express the symbol of totality represented by the mandala, the archetype of the Self, whose chief role is in uniting apparently irreconcilable opposites and is therefore best suited to compensate the split-mindedness of our age, bringing order and regulation to chaotic states. 🛒 ⁠Official merch⁠ ☕ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Donate a coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⭐ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📨 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⌛ Timestamps (0:00) Introduction (3:32) UFOs as Visionary Rumours and Collective Visions (5:56) UFOs as Collective Distress and Mass Hysteria (7:30) UFOs as Saviour Myth (10:02) UFOs as Living Myth (12:29) Folklore and UFOs (16:30) Collective Dream (17:17) Messengers of Deception (19:19) Religion and UFOs (20:05) Ontological Shock and The Absurd (21:00) Psychic Aspects of UFOs (28:45) Unus Mundus: Psyche and Matter (30:55) Crop Circles and Archetypal Feminine (35:36) The Physical Existence of UFOs (37:15) The Case of Orfeo (44:53) UFOs and The Age of Aquarius (49:10) Conclusion ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 Recommended Reading ▶ Flying Saucers: A Modern Myth of Things Seen in the Skies - Carl Jung https://amzn.to/3RRw8GL ▶ Passport to Magonia: From Folklore to Flying Saucers - Jacques Vallée https://amzn.to/3W3el1X ▶ Crop Circles, Jung, and the Reemergence of the Archetypal Feminine - Gary S.

The Psychology of The Paranormal - Carl Jung

Since early childhood, Carl Jung experienced paranormal phenomena, that is, phenomena that are beyond the scope of scientific understanding. They were virtually commonplace in Jung’s family. Jung’s personal experiences with the paranormal would set him on a quest to find an explanation of these events with his theory of analytical psychology, as well as sparking his interest in parapsychology, the study of psychic or paranormal phenomena, especially regarding extrasensory perception or ESP (precognition, clairvoyance, telepathy, intuition, etc). Jung attended séances which formed the basis of his doctoral dissertation published in 1902, entitled On the Psychology and Pathology of So-Called Occult Phenomena. Jung admits that his period of the séances with his medium cousin contained the origin of all his ideas. He had discovered some objective facts about the human psyche. From then on, Jung got his first glimpse of the fact that there was another world (the unconscious) which had a life of its own quite apart from the life of consciousness. 🛒 Official merch ☕ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Donate a coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⭐ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📨 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⌛ Timestamps (0:00) Introduction (0:53) The Paranormal in Jung’s Family (4:43) Séances and Occult Phenomena (12:22) Confrontation with The Unconscious and Synchronicity (16:09) Visions and Altered States (21:22) The Seven Sermons of the Dead (23:30) Jung's First Mandala: Systema Munditotius (24:36) The Voice of the Dead (26:58) Jung’s Paranormal and Parapsychological Experiences (37:26) Rationalism and Superstition (39:13) The Psychological Foundations of Belief in Spirits (41:56) On The Reality of Spirits (46:26) Conclusion ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 Recommended Reading ▶ Memories, Dreams, Reflections - Carl Jung https://amzn.to/3waQbIJ ▶ Reflections on the Life and Dreams of C.G.

How Dreams Can Anticipate Death and Point to the Afterlife

Death is one of the greatest mysteries of human existence, the inevitable fate that unites us all. Whenever man is confronted with something mysterious and unknown such as the origin of the world, death, the afterlife, etc., the unconscious produces symbolic representations. In her groundbreaking book, On Dreams and Death, Jungian analyst Marie-Louise von Franz writes about death dreams, that is, dreams of people who subsequently died. Therefore, they are of a precognitive nature, as they can anticipate the death of someone. In death dreams, the end of physical life is represented in a symbolic way, but almost always accompanied by manifestations that allude to the continuation of the person’s life. 🛒 ⁠Official merch⁠ ☕ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Donate a coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⭐ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📨 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⌛ Timestamps (0:00) Introduction (2:24) Death Is Not The End (4:50) Near-Death-Experiences (NDEs) (8:10) NDEs: Ego and Self (10:34) Death Dreams (14:14) Death Dreams in Second Half of Life (15:05) Death Dreams at a Young Age (15:45) Dreams About Someone Else’s Death (16:30) Birth is Death, Death is Birth (18:25) Metapsychic Dreams (22:10) Death Dreams: Vegetation (28:32) Death Dreams: Fire and The Philosophers’ Stone (33:56) Death Dreams: The Fruit (38:52) Death Dreams: Death as a Cure (40:15) Death Dreams: Dark Tunnel (41:55) Death Dreams: Spirit of Discouragement (44:00) Death Dreams: The Sinister Other (46:48) Death Dreams: The Threshold (48:25) Death Dreams: Light (50:28) Beyond Space and Time (51:45) The Final Decision (52:36) Conclusion ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✉️ Send me anything you like to my mailing address: Eternalised P.O.

The Psychology of The Magician

The Magician is the most mysterious and fascinating of all archetypes. He is a person who has gained access to esoteric or occult (hidden) knowledge, bringing the spiritual to the material. Thus, he is an initiate of secret and hidden knowledge of all kinds. As the Emerald Tablet teaches us, “As above, so below, and as below, so above, to accomplish the marvels of the One work.” The Magician is often the mentor or guide to his people, and even to the king. Psychologically, the Magician is the archetype of transformation, transforming old realities into new ones. He is the archetype of self-realisation par excellence. The Magician aids us in our lifelong task of attaining a higher level of consciousness, and of recognising that higher power which is greater than ourselves. 🛒 ⁠Official merch⁠ ☕ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Donate a coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⭐ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📨 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⌛ Timestamps (0:00) Introduction (2:22) Merlin (5:10) Hermes Trismegistus (6:17) Magic: The Shadow of Religion (7:32) Sympathetic Magic (8:30) Magic in Ancient Times (10:53) Grimoires and King Solomon (12:10) Necronomicon (13:00) The Archetype of the Sorcerer’s Apprentice (15:10) Renaissance Magic (18:13) Low Magic and High Magic (18:34) White Magic and Black Magic (20:11) Archetypal Images of the Magician (23:45) The Archetype of the Miracle (25:12) Magician: The Archetype of Transformation (29:29) Mana Personality (30:20) The Shadow Magician (31:50) The Magician and The Trickster (33:36) The Magician in Tarot (35:30) The Magician in Jung’s Red Book (37:18) The Integration of the Magician Archetype Thank you for your support. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✉️ Send me anything you like to my mailing address: Eternalised P.O.

The Psychology of Numbers

Numbers do not merely have a quantitative nature, but also a qualitative one (for Pythagoras they were divine). Numbers have life, they are not just symbols on paper. Several philosophers, alchemists and mystics throughout history have associated religious or mystical ideas to numbers. In ancient times, people associated mystical meaning to words and names based on their numerical value, which became the basis for 20th century numerology that seeks to understand personality through numbers. Carl Jung describes number as the most primitive archetype (the archetype of order), which provides a vital link between matter and psyche (united by the unus mundus). Psychologically, the most primitive numbers are 1 to 4, which form the basis for all the rest of the numbers, and as such it is not surprising that they are the most recurring ones in the psyche. These remarkably symbolise the human creation myth and the purpose of life. To paraphrase Pythagoras, “Number rules the universe.” 🛒 ⁠Official merch⁠ ☕ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Donate a coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⭐ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📨 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⌛ Timestamps (0:00) Introduction (1:10) Isopsephy, Gematria, Numerology (2:58) Number as the Archetype of Order (5:00) The Role of Numbers in Dreams (5:35) Numbers as the Archetype of Wholeness (Self) (6:20) Numbers as Autonomous Entities (7:18) Numbers, Psychoid, Unus Mundus (9:32) Numbers and Synchronicity (11:17) Numbers: Link between Psyche and Matter (13:50) The Psychology of the Number 1 (17:08) The Psychology of the Number 2 (25:00) The Psychology of the Number 3 (35:06) The Psychology of the Number 4 (46:46) Esoteric Meaning of Numbers (5-10) (51:55) Conclusion Thank you for your support. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✉️ Send me anything you like to my mailing address: Eternalised P.O.
