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.

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 villain is the most captivating and intriguing of all archetypes. The hero would not exist without his darker counterpart, which reflects aspects of ourselves that we do not dare to acknowledge or confront, but which are present within all of us. The villain is often a mirror of the dark aspects of humanity, embodying qualities that are evil, harmful, greedy, selfish, and destructive. In recent times, villains can even become sympathetic, and possess redeeming qualities, making some of them oddly likeable despite their malicious intent and immoral actions, thus challenging our traditional notions of good and evil. This type of villain has never existed to the degree it exists in the 21st century, symbolising a major change in the collective unconscious—which speaks to a psychological experience that is common to us all.🛒 ⁠Official merch⁠☕ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Donate a coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⭐ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📨 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠━━━━━━━━━━━━━⌛ Timestamps(0:00) Introduction(1:46) The Meaning of Villain(2:40) The Oldest Form of The Villain(3:18) The Villain Archetype in Literature(11:00) The Superhero(12:26) Sympathy for the Villain(13:17) The Antihero(14:56) The Modern Villain(16:03) The Joker and Hyper-Sanity(19:55) Villains and The Dark Side(21:40) The Villain’s Journey(23:00) The Villain and The Hero(28:22) Villain: Mirror of The Dark Aspects of Humanity(32:56) The Villain Redemption Arc (33:18) The Dark Triad(36:20) The Tyrant(38:26) The Resentful One(40:19) The Traitor(41:30) The Sadist(41:58) The Criminal Mastermind(43:25) The Mad Scientist(43:54) The Jester or Trickster(44:20) The Terrible or Devouring Mother(44:50) The Femme Fatale(45:50) Conclusion━━━━━━━━━━━━━✉️ Send me anything you like to my mailing address:EternalisedP.O.

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.

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.

The Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Carl Jung studied astrology for over 40 years, and was primarily interested in the way astrology could help to explore the psyche. For Jung, astrology represents the sum of all the psychological knowledge of antiquity. The notion of seeing mythic narratives through patterns in the heavens is one of the earliest attempts to link the outer world with the inner world. The well-known Hermetic dictum, “As above, so below,” is key to astrology. It is the idea that man (the microcosm), is influenced by the universe (the macrocosm). That is to say, truths about the nature of the cosmos may be inferred from truths about human nature, and vice versa. At the exact moment of birth, each person receives the typical qualities of the libido or energy which is characteristic of him or her. Time, or the moment understood as a peculiar form of energy, seems to coincide with our psychological condition. For Jung, this leads to a peculiar hypothesis, that our personality does not have to do with the position of the stars, but rather with the qualitative effect of time, also called synchronicity, based on the ancient Stoic concept of cosmic sympathy. 🛒 ⁠Official merch⁠ ☕ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Donate a coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⭐ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📨 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⌛ Timestamps (0:00) Introduction (3:54) The Zodiac: Wheel of Life (5:06) The Basics of Astrology (9:37) Microcosm and Macrocosm (10:44) Astrology becomes Astronomy (11:48) Astrology and Carl Jung (17:12) Astrology as Ancient Psychology (20:02) Astrological Age and Precession of the Equinoxes (23:12) Qualitative Time (27:02) Astrology and Synchronicity (28:23) Sympatheia: Cosmic Sympathy (29:00) Psychoid and Unus Mundus, Pleroma, Anima Mundi (30:00) Planets as Archons (Gnosticism) (30:50) Spirit of the Depths and Spirit of the Times (32:28) Jung’s Thoughts on Astrology Before Death (33:15) Fate and Free Will (36:13) Individuation and Daimon (Soul-Image) (38:20) Exoteric and Esoteric Astrology (39:25) Aquarius: The Coming New Aeon (43:31) Conclusion Thank you for your support. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✉️ Send me anything you like to my mailing address: Eternalised P.O.

Angels have fascinated human consciousness since the beginning of time. The word angel derives from the Greek angelos, which is the default translation of the Biblical Hebrew term mal’ākh (literally “messenger”). The angel is a messenger between God and mankind. Whether we talk about angels, daimons, djinns, fairies, or any other of such beings, they all hold something in common, despite their difference in appearance, namely, they are all archetypal images of the same fundamental pattern, the archetype of the ethereal being. These spirits coexist with us; they just exist at another level of reality. As the archetypal image of the call, the angel initiates individuation, the journey towards wholeness of personality (the Self), as well theosis (union with God). Therefore, angels can help us both psychologically and spiritually. The integration of the angel archetype allows us to examine the nature of our essence or soul, the uniqueness that asks to be lived in each of us, and that unfolds itself during our lifetime. Thus, angels carry our true vocation, which is a calling, towards the meaning of our life. 🛒 ⁠Official merch⁠ ☕ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Donate a coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⭐ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📨 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⌛ Timestamps (0:00) Introduction (2:22) Angels in Zoroastrianism (3:33) Ba-soul, Genius, Daimon (6:25) The Transmigration of Souls and Reincarnation (8:10) Djinns, Fairies, Elementals (9:10) The Archetype of The Ethereal Being (9:50) Subtle bodies (10:18) The Role of Angels in the Creation of Evil (12:42) The Purpose and Motivation of Angels (14:35) The Anthropos (Primeval Man) (15:24) The Celestial Hierarchy: First Choir (17:20) The Celestial Hierarchy: Second Choir (17:53) The Celestial Hierarchy: Third Choir (20:40) Swedenborg and Blake (22:12) The Psychology of Angels (27:23) The Angel of Death (27:55) The Angel’s Call (30:16) Angels: Individuation and Theosis (32:58) Angels and The Numinous (34:13) The Invocation of Angels (36:08) Angels and Dreams (37:05) Jacob’s Ladder and Soul Geography (38:38) Wrestling with The Angel (40:40) The Integration of The Angel Archetype (42:16) Conclusion Thank you for your support. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✉️ Send me anything you like to my mailing address: Eternalised P.O.

The Wise Old Man or Sage is an archetype that is recognised by almost everyone, be it in stories, games, movies, or everyday life. In myth he is often shown as one living in isolation, meditating and living a simple life deep in a forest, in the mountains, or in other uninhabited places. The Wise Old Man is a lover of wisdom, and uses his experience to guide others. He is portrayed as a mysterious person or a wizard, in contact with nature and the numinous and unseen forces that permeate our existence. The Wise Old man appears as a teacher of wisdom such as King Solomon from the Bible. In Hermeticism, he is Hermes Trismegistus, the fount of all wisdom and the teacher of the mystery of all ages. In China, the sage is Lao Tzu ("old man" or "old master"), the founder of Taoism, while in India there are the sadhus and yogis. In Arthurian Legend he is Merlin, in Nietzsche he appears as the prophet Zarathustra, and in Carl Jung as Philemon. In modern popular fiction we have Yoda, Gandalf and Dumbledore, among others. In the individuation process (the lifelong journey towards psychic wholeness), the archetype of the Wise Old Man is late to emerge, and is therefore seen as an indication of the Self (the total personality). 🛒 ⁠Official merch⁠ ☕ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Donate a coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⭐ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📨 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⌛ Timestamps (0:00) Introduction (1:35) The Symbolism of the Desert (3:30) The Hermit and The Wandering Ascetic (5:00) The Wise Old Man Archetype (12:32) Senex and Puer Aeternus (14:47) The Dark Side of The Wise Old Man (18:34) The Wise Old Man and The Hero (19:44) The Dangers of Identifying as The Sage (21:00) The Hermit in Tarot (24:35) The Hermit and The Madman Archetype (27:18) Facing Death in Old Age (28:08) The Forgotten Art of Solitude (32:48) The Sage’s Journey: The Search for Truth (35:20) The Eternal Inner Centre (37:24) The Book of Ecclesiastes: Meaninglessness (38:47) The Truth Shall Set You Free (39:50) Conclusion Thank you for your support. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✉️ Send me anything you like to my mailing address: Eternalised P.O.

Fairy tales fascinate us and give us a sense of warmth and home-coming that comes from the mythical realm of the imagination, a necessary complement to our everyday life. We are fundamentally story-telling creatures, and there is much we can learn by reflecting on the fairy tales heard in childhood. They seem almost magical because they connect us with emotions deeply buried within that cannot find expression in outer life, because as we grow up, the world of imagination is shunned by our peers, considered as unproductive and good for nothing. Fairy tales can provide us with a sense that we are not alone in our life struggles. Humans have faced these struggles in one form or another since the beginning of time, and fairy tales represent this fundamental concern of the human condition. Psychologically, fairy tales reflect our inner landscape, and the characters can represent aspects of our own personalities. Jungian analyst Marie-Louise von Franz writes: "Fairy tales are the purest and simplest expression of collective unconscious psychic processes. Therefore, their value for the scientific investigation of the unconscious exceeds that of all other material. They represent archetypes in their simplest, barest, and most concise form." 🛒 ⁠Official merch⁠ ☕ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Donate a coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⭐ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📨 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⌛ Timestamps (0:00) Introduction (3:43) What are Fairy Tales?
