The Devil goes by many names: Satan, Lucifer, The Great Beast, Beelzebub, The Prince of Darkness. He is the adversary, the accuser, the tempter, the deceiver, and the one who divides from God. The Devil is incredibly wicked and evil, but also intelligent and witty – he is the father of all tricksters – that is what makes him so dangerous. The English word “devil” derives from the Greek diábolos (“the one who divides”). Diabolic is the term in contemporary English. The Greek verb dia-bollein literally means to tear apart. These divisions occur in almost every facet of our lives: race, sex, religion, politics, and economics. The demonic is an inversion of order. Temptation is the ordinary activity of the devil. It is a real thing for us in each and every day. It begins with deception, buying into the lies of the devil, who promises good, only to deliver evil. The goal of this is to create division or inner conflict in ourselves. In despair, we numb ourselves with pleasure or diversion, which can lead to addiction. Hell is that state of mind which has abandoned itself so completely to a given sin that it cannot act independently of that sin. 🛒 ⁠Official merch⁠ ☕ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Donate a coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⭐ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📨 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⌛ Timestamps (0:00) Introduction (1:18) Daimon (2:06) Pan: The God of Panic and Pandemonium (3:24) Scapegoating, Projection, God-Complex (5:38) The Devil: The One Who Divides (7:06) The Characteristics of the Diabolic (9:05) Deals with the Devil (13:30) Archetypes, Ego-Inflation, and Delusion (14:35) The Fall from Paradise (Felix Culpa) (16:52) The Devil and Christ as Lucifer (Morning Star) (20:09) Satan (The Adversary) and Job (23:52) The Ultimate Tragic Story (24:29) The Harrowing of Hell (25:16) Satanism: Evil Disguised as Good (27:02) The Psychological Activities of The Demonic (31:08) Carl Jung on the Devil (Shadow) (33:23) The Devil in The Major Arcana (34:13) The One-Sided Western Image of God (36:50) Summum Bonum: The Highest Good (37:22) Privatio Boni: The Absence of Good (37:56) Deus Absconditus: The Hidden Dark Side of God (39:00) The Apocalypse (Revelation) and Enantiodromia (43:00) Conclusion Thank you for your support. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✉️ Send me anything you like to my mailing address: Eternalised P.O.

The fool is one of the most relatable, intriguing and recurring figures in the world. There have been fools who have caused surprise and laughter since time immemorial. We worship folly by seeing it in people and in the world and by willingly displaying it in ourselves. It is one of the timeless archetypes, which we all inherit at birth. Many of us suffer from the absence of the fool in our lives. Frenetic and upright, we take ourselves too seriously. As William Shakespeare said, “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players.” Forgetting that playfulness is a basic human need, we wonder why we so easily become bored and exhausted, losing all capacity for spontaneity, authenticity, and passion. The antidote to this would be to give the fool archetype some space in our lives. “The soul demands your folly; not your wisdom.” - Carl Jung 🛒 ⁠Official merch⁠ ☕ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Donate a coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⭐ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📨 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⌛ Timestamps (0:00) Introduction (2:00) In Praise of Folly (3:45) The Wise Fool (5:15) The Fool as Truth-Teller (6:24) Fool, Clown and Trickster (10:24) The Medieval Court Jester (13:54) The Shakespearean Fool (14:38) Parsifal: The Quest for The Holy Grail (17:47) Don Quixote (20:02) Dostoevsky’s The Idiot (22:17) The Fool as Hero (22:54) Ivan The Fool (24:50) The Fool’s Journey (Tarot) (27:57) The Number Zero in The Fool (29:32) Symbolic Transformations of The Fool in Tarot (31:42) The Fool: Precursor to Transformation (34:44) The Dark Side of The Fool (36:04) The Fool and the Child Archetype (36:45) The Fool: The Inferior Function (38:08) The Holy Fool Thank you for your support. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✉️ Send me anything you like to my mailing address: Eternalised P.O.

Nightmares. We all have them. But what exactly do they mean? Why do we have bad dreams? Is there any psychological meaning behind them? Nightmares are the source of much of the horror we see in stories, myths, movies and games. They are an encounter with the dark side of the unconscious, which often includes facing some of the most painful aspects of who we are. And one does not know what that part of oneself is, until one confronts it.Nightmares are the most substantial and vitally important dreams, and are of therapeutic value. They wake us up with a cry, as if all our repressed content forms a bubble which expands until it bursts one night, and we experience a nightmare. They are the shock therapy nature uses on us when we are too unaware of some psychological danger, and shock us out of deep unconscious sleepiness about some dangerous situation. As if the unconscious says, “Look here, this problem is urgent!” The psyche tells us to “wake up” and face what we have neglected. The majority of nightmares represent opportunities for personal healing through much-needed emotional release.🛒 ⁠Official merch⁠☕ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Donate a coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⭐ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📨 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠━━━━━━━━━━━━━⌛ Timestamps(0:00) Introduction(3:00) Dream-Motifs in Nightmares(3:37) Lilith: The First Nightmare(5:07) The Origin & Folklore of Nightmares(9:09) Non-REM Sleep (Night Terrors)(10:36) REM Sleep (Nightmares)(11:43) Nightmare in Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment(15:40) Fever Dreams and Franz Kafka(17:36) Post-Traumatic Nightmares and Recurring Nightmares(19:00) Precognitive Nightmares(20:36) Carl Jung and The Meaning of Dreams(26:07) The Shadow and Nightmares(28:32) The Devouring Mother Archetype(30:39) Active Imagination(33:08) Lucid Dreaming(36:14) Nightmares and Artists(37:40) Nightmare Artists: Beksiński and GigerThank you for your support.━━━━━━━━━━━━━✉️ Send me anything you like to my mailing address:EternalisedP.O.

Shamanism is one of the oldest, if not the oldest system of healing known in the world. It forms the prototype from which many other forms of healing are derived, such as modern psychotherapy. The shamanic journey is an expression of the human condition, and despite the cultural differences around the world, the deeper structure appears to remain constant. A common thread seems to connect all shamans across the planet. An awakening to other orders of reality, the experience of ecstasy, and an opening up of visionary realms form the essence of the shamanic mission.🛒 ⁠Official merch⁠☕ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Donate a coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⭐ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📨 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠━━━━━━━━━━━━━⌛ Timestamps(0:00) Introduction(4:12) The Shamanic Call(7:52) Becoming a Shaman(9:20) Symbols of the Self: Animal Spirits(11:28) The Three Worlds: Shamanic Cosmos(12:15) The Gold in the Shadow(13:54) The Underworld: Death(15:56) The World Tree(18:24) The Sky Realm: Awakening(20:31) The Return to the People(22:02) The Shaman’s Shadow(23:10) Beware of Unearned Wisdom(24:52) Archaic Techniques of Ecstasy(28:10) Carl Jung and Shamanism(31:02) Psychologist: Healer of the SoulThank you for your support.━━━━━━━━━━━━━✉️ Send me anything you like to my mailing address:EternalisedP.O.

We all have a particular personality type, and at the same time, we are all unique. To partake in the journey of discovering who we truly are, it is necessary for us to know our true and authentic personality. The quest to know ourselves allows us to better understand the complexity and intricacies of the human condition, improve our relationship with ourselves, with others, and with the world.    Carl Jung’s model of typology is not a system of character analysis, nor is it a way of labelling oneself or others. Much as one might use a compass to determine where one is in the physical world, Jung’s typology is a tool for psychological orientation.    The main aspects are the attitude types: extraversion and introversion, and the psychological functions: feeling, thinking, sensation and intuition. 🛒 ⁠Official merch⁠ ☕ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Donate a coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⭐ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📨 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⌛ Timestamps (0:00) Introduction (0:27) Introversion and Extraversion (5:48) Example of Introvert with Extravert (7:50) The Four Psychological Functions (8:36) Libido (9:16) Thinking and Feeling (10:47) Feeling, Emotion, Affect (11:50) Sensation and Intuition (14:42) Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) (16:45) Dominant Function (18:00) Differentiation and Distorted Types (20:05) Auxiliary Functions (21:48) Inferior Function (27:10) Conclusion Thank you for your support. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✉️ Send me anything you like to my mailing address: Eternalised P.O.

The legendary figure of Hermes Trismegistus (Hermes Thrice Great) is the inspiration for the spiritual teachings known as Hermeticism. He is a syncretism (joining) of the Greek deity Hermes, the winged messenger of the Gods, and his Egyptian counterpart, the Ibis-headed moon god Thoth.   The Way of Hermes involved altered states of consciousness in which practitioners went through a training regime that involved luminous visions, spiritual rebirth, cosmic consciousness, and union with the divine beauty of universal goodness and truth to attain the salvational knowledge known as gnosis. 🛒 ⁠Official merch⁠ ☕ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Donate a coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⭐ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📨 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⌛ Timestamps (0:00) Introduction (3:43) Renaissance of Hermeticism (9:33) Technical and Religio-philosophical Hermetica (11:38) Where to start?

Philosophy is a mode of life, an act of living, and a way of being. Modern philosophy has forgotten this tradition, and philosophical discourse has all but overtaken philosophy as a way of life. Philosophy is not just an intellectual discipline, which can get abstract and divorced from the real world, but is most importantly a way of life that teaches us how to best live our lives.   Philosophy is a mode of existing in the world, which has to be practiced at each instant, and the goal of which is to transform the whole of the individual’s life. Real wisdom does not merely cause us to know: it makes us “be” in a different way.   Ancient philosophy proposed to mankind an art of living. By contrast modern philosophy appears above all as the construction of a technical jargon reserved for specialists.🛒 ⁠Official merch⁠☕ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Donate a coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⭐ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📨 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠━━━━━━━━━━━━━⌛ Timestamps(0:00) Introduction(2:18) Philosophy as a Way of Life(7:12) Socrates(8:53) Master of Dialogue: Know Thyself(13:30) Plato (15:58) Idealism: Platonic Forms(17:15) Parable of the Cave(19:33) Plato’s Cave in The Matrix(20:16) Plato’s Tripartite Theory of the Soul(22:36) Philosophy as an Exercise of Death(24:56) Aristotle(27:06) Hellenistic Schools(28:25) Cynicism(31:45) Pyrrhonism(34:46) Stoicism(39:45) Premeditatio Malorum(41:03) Memento Mori(42:24) Voluntary Discomfort(43:54) Epicureanism(50:12) Similarities Epicureanism & Stoicism(50:57) Neoplatonism(57:45) View from Above: Cosmic Consciousness Thank you for your support.━━━━━━━━━━━━━✉️ Send me anything you like to my mailing address:EternalisedP.O.

The wounded healer refers to the capacity to be at home in the darkness of suffering and there to find germs of light and recovery. It is the archetype at the bottom of all genuine healing procedures. As long as we feel victimised, bitter and resentful towards our wound, and seek to escape from suffering it, we remain inescapably bound to it. This is neurotic suffering, as opposed to the authentic suffering of the wounded healer which is purified. The wound can destroy you, or it can wake you up.  As Carl Jung wrote, "The doctor is effective only when he himself is affected. Only the wounded physician heals."🛒 ⁠Official merch⁠☕ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Donate a coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⭐ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📨 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠━━━━━━━━━━━━━⌛ Timestamps(0:00) Introduction: The Wounded Healer(1:39) Chiron: The Wounded Healer(4:03) Asclepius: The Greek God of Healing(6:13) Asclepieia: Healing Temples(11:12) The Importance of Death(15:06) The Wound as Initiation: Hero’s Journey (17:30) The Sacred and The Profane(19:59) The Wound as Initiation: Shamanism (21:49) Compensatory function(22:51) Repetition Compulsion(23:32) Pharmakon: Poison and Cure(24:26) Therapist as Wounded Healer(29:49) ConclusionThank you for your support.━━━━━━━━━━━━━✉️ Send me anything you like to my mailing address:EternalisedP.O.

Hell is understood as the archetype of ultimate suffering. It is no imaginary place, but rather a state of consciousness that we all experience at some point in our lives. Hell is an unavoidable journey in life. In ancient mysteries or rituals of passages, the hero must descend into a dark place in order to give birth to a new consciousness and gain access to a new stage of life. It is the most profound psychological death and rebirth of the self.   We will be exploring the journey into hell as the path to self-knowledge, self-transformation, and ultimately, self-transcendence. Only in the region of danger can one find the treasure hard to attain. As Carl Jung stated, “No tree, it is said, can grow to heaven unless its roots reach down to hell.”🛒 ⁠Official merch⁠☕ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Donate a coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⭐ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📨 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠━━━━━━━━━━━━━⌛ Timestamps(0:00) Introduction: Concept of Hell(2:33) Hell is Other People(3:56) The Therapist and The Journey into Hell(5:15) Paradise Lost(6:12) Divine Comedy: Introduction(10:21) Divine Comedy: Hell(14:05) Faculty of Knowing and Faculty of Choosing(16:05) Divine Comedy: Purgatory(18:30) Divine Comedy: Heaven(19:58) Salvation as Individuation (21:15) Marriage of Heaven and Hell (25:32) The Red Book: Descent into Hell(35:08) Conclusion━━━━━━━━━━━━━✉️ Send me anything you like to my mailing address:EternalisedP.O.

Loneliness, emptiness, and anxiety – these are the main complaints American existential psychologist Rollo May encountered over and over from his patients. In 1953, May published Man’s Search for Himself, in which he explores these problems – that are perhaps more relevant than ever in our modern age.  When society can no longer give us a clear picture of our values and standards, of what we are and what we ought to be, we are then thrown back on the search for ourselves. This is one of the few blessings of living in an age of anxiety. To venture causes anxiety, but not to venture is to lose oneself. To venture in the highest sense is precisely to become conscious of oneself.🛒 ⁠Official merch⁠☕ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Donate a coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⭐ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📨 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠━━━━━━━━━━━━━⌛ Timestamps(0:00) Introduction(0:47) Emptiness(4:46) Loneliness(8:17) Anxiety(13:22) Rediscovering Selfhood(24:08) Freedom (28:12) Courage(29:19) Death━━━━━━━━━━━━━✉️ Send me anything you like to my mailing address:EternalisedP.O.
