There is perhaps no figure in literature more fascinating than the trickster, appearing in various forms in the folklore of many cultures. Trickster is witty and deceitful. He is the timeless root of all the picaresque creations of world literature, and is not reducible to one single literary entity. Trickster tales have existed since ancient times, and has been said to be at the very foundation of civilisation and culture. They belong to the oldest expressions of mankind.   Tricksters are the breakers of rules, agents of mischief, masters of deceit, and boundary crossers. He is an agent of change, and is amoral, not immoral.  Trickster is at one and the same time creator and destroyer, giver and negator, he who dupes and who is always duped himself.   Psychologically, the trickster is an archetype, part of the collective unconscious. Trickster is everywhere, he is an eternal state of mind.   The integration of the trickster archetype allows us to go from being ruled by our own self-centred ego to a new way of living, in which one has integrity and relatedness. It allows us to become aware of our true emotions, behaviours, and thoughts, that our unconscious persona is hiding, and without which there is no individuation at all.🛒 ⁠Official merch⁠☕ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Donate a coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⭐ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📨 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠━━━━━━━━━━━━━⌛ Timestamps(0:00) Introduction(0:45) What is The Trickster?(2:35) Primitive Form of The Trickster(3:48) Trickster and Laughter(5:50) Trickster as Agent of Change(7:35) Trickster as Creator and Destroyer(9:40) Trickster as Amoral(10:50) Trickster Figures(17:32) The Psychology of The Trickster(22:10) Trickster and Shadow(24:04) Trickster and Ego Inflation(26:15) The Trickster in Alchemy(29:08) Conclusion━━━━━━━━━━━━━✉️ Send me anything you like to my mailing address:EternalisedP.O.

Franz Kafka's dark world deals with existentialist themes such as alienation, anxiety, disorientation and the absurd. His work is so original that the term Kafkaesque was coined to describe the nightmarish and bizarre atmosphere of his work. Throughout his works we see the strange dream-like mixture of perplexity and embarrassment play out, and the notion of a grand organisation with its incomprehensible bureaucratic system that hovers invisibly over each helpless individual, taking complete control over one's life.🛒 ⁠Official merch⁠☕ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Donate a coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⭐ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📨 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠━━━━━━━━━━━━━⌛ Timestamps(0:00) Introduction(1:10) The Life of Kafka(9:20) The Metamorphosis (1915)(13:59) The Trial (1925)(23:07) The Castle (1926)24:29) Conclusion━━━━━━━━━━━━━✉️ Send me anything you like to my mailing address:EternalisedP.O.

Alchemy occupies a unique place in the collective psyche of humankind. Swiss psychiatrist and psychologist Jung discovered alchemy and devoted the remaining 30 years of his life to studying it, which he practically dug up from the dunghill of the past, for it was considered pseudoscience, a forgotten relic of history and despised field of investigation which he had suddenly revived.   Alchemy allows one to achieve wholeness of personality, of aligning one’s ego to the Self through a reconnection with the unconscious. For Jung, the task of alchemy was and has always been psychological. The end product is not material in nature, but rather spiritual. Alchemy is the art of expanding consciousness, of self-realisation.🛒 ⁠Official merch⁠☕ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Donate a coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⭐ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📨 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠━━━━━━━━━━━━━⌛ Timestamps(0:00) Introduction(6:33) The Self: Achieving Wholeness(13:45) The Origins and History of Alchemy(20:20) The Basics Concepts of Alchemy(28:54) Alchemy as Psychological Projection(32:07) The Importance of Symbols(35:50) The Operations of Alchemy(42:52) Stages of Alchemy: Nigredo, Albedo, Rubedo(50:03) Conclusion━━━━━━━━━━━━━✉️ Send me anything you like to my mailing address:EternalisedP.O.

Projection is a psychological fact that can be observed everywhere in  the everyday life of human beings. It is an unconscious mechanism where  one ascribes one’s own motivations, thoughts, feelings, and desires that  are unacceptable to oneself, while attributing them to others. It is a  misalignment of the inner and outer world, because what one is inwardly,  one will see outwardly.  To really know who we are, we must concern ourselves with correcting  such misjudgements. Many people will cling to them with every fibre of  their being, because if one accepts correction, one may fall into a  depression.  When we find certain unacceptable feelings, thoughts or behaviours in  ourselves that we refuse to acknowledge, and see someone with that  specific trait, we will feel resentment, hatred and anger towards them.  Projection occurs not because of what other people say to you, but  rather because of what you yourself think about those people.🛒 ⁠Official merch⁠☕ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Donate a coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⭐ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📨 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠━━━━━━━━━━━━━⌛ Timestamps(0:00) Introduction(2:15) Example of Projection(6:37) Freud: Mother Complex and Transference(8:06) Carl Jung on Projection(9:33) Jung: Shadow Projection(12:52) Jung: Anima and Animus Projection(16:18) Projection and Projectile(19:11) Active and passive projection(20:54) Introjection(21:42) Mystical participation(25:36) Psychological Projection as Inner Gold━━━━━━━━━━━━━✉️ Send me anything you like to my mailing address:EternalisedP.O.

Synchronicity is a term coined by Carl Jung which describes a meaningful patterns or meaningful coincidences of outer and inner events that cannot be causally linked. It occurs with an inwardly perceived event (dream, vision, premonition, thought or mood) is seen to have a correspondence in external reality: the inner image has "come true", bringing meaning to your life.When Jung was investigating the phenomena of the collective unconscious, he kept on coming across “coincidences” that were connected so meaningfully, that they broke all statistical probabilities. The culmination of his investigations is covered in his work: Synchronicity: An Acausal Connecting Principle.🛒 ⁠Official merch⁠☕ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Donate a coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⭐ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📨 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠━━━━━━━━━━━━━⌛ Timestamps(0:00) Introduction(4:50) Origins of Synchronicity(8:38) What is Synchronicity?(10:09) Atom and Archetype: Matter and Psyche(11:43) Rhine: Extrasensory Perception Experiments(13:00) Archetypes, Collective Unconscious, Psychoid(15:54) Examples of Synchronicity(26:16) Synchronicity at Jung’s death━━━━━━━━━━━━━✉️ Send me anything you like to my mailing address:EternalisedP.O.

In his book Owning Your Own Shadow: The Dark Side of the Psyche, American author and Jungian analyst Robert A. Johnson states that to honour and accept one’s own shadow is a profound spiritual discipline. It is whole-making and thus holy and the most important experience of a lifetime.  In this podcast, we briefly clear up some misconceptions regarding the concept of shadow. It is not our enemy, but our friend. It contains pure gold waiting to be integrated into our personality.  It is not the light element alone that does the healing; the place where light and dark begin to touch is the most profound religious experience we can have in life. The religious task is to restore the wholeness of personality. Religion means to put things back together again, to connect whatever is fractured.🛒 ⁠Official merch⁠☕ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Donate a coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⭐ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📨 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠━━━━━━━━━━━━━⌛ Timestamps(0:00) Introduction(3:12) Misconceptions of the Shadow(5:20) How the Shadow Originates(8:35) Balancing Culture and Shadow(12:39) The Shadow in Projection(15:04) The Gold in the Shadow(16:38) The Shadow in Middle Age(16:59) The Ceremonial World(17:46) Paradox as Religious Experience(21:54) The Shadow as Entree to Paradox(23:02) The Mandorla━━━━━━━━━━━━━✉️ Send me anything you like to my mailing address:EternalisedP.O.

William Blake was an English poet and visionary artist whose unique work gives us a glimpse into an entirely different world. His art was ignored and neglected, and few people took his work seriously. He was generally seen as a madman.  His vivid imagination, visions and mystical experiences lead him to a spiritual task that was the exploration of his inner self. For Blake, the essence of human existence is imagination.🛒 ⁠Official merch⁠☕ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Donate a coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⭐ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📨 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠━━━━━━━━━━━━━⌛ Timestamps(0:00) The Life of William Blake(13:16) The Lyrical Poems of William Blake(15:48) Prophetic Books & Mythology (21:35) 1.

Arthur Schopenhauer was a German Philosopher born in 1788 known for his dark pessimistic philosophical reflections.For Schopenhauer, the underlying force of reality is the Will (also called will to live or will to life), which is the essence of existence. It is an unconscious and blind desire that restlessly strives for more activity. The will is the tornado that swirls inside of us and throws us from one place to the other, it is the source of our insatiable appetite that results in strife and misery.  Schopenhauer’s writing is far from the sterile and academic German of the time, his work is straight-forward, colloquial, concrete, full of metaphors and anecdotes. His philosophy sent him on a quest for tranquility and peace of mind. He offers as alternatives the denial of the will, the wisdom of life through philosophy, aesthetics and ethics.🛒 ⁠Official merch⁠☕ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Donate a coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⭐ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📨 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠━━━━━━━━━━━━━⌛ Timestamps(0:00) Introduction: Arthur Schopenhauer(7:47) The World as Will and Representation(15:07) The Will to Reproduce(16:36) The World as Evil(22:52) The Denial of the Will(25:11) Philosophy: The Wisdom of Life(27:32) Aesthetics(30:45) Ethics━━━━━━━━━━━━━✉️ Send me anything you like to my mailing address:EternalisedP.O.
