The World Within - Carl Gustav Jung - In His Own Words

Carl Gustav Jung (26 July 1875 – 6 June 1961) was a Swiss psychiatrist, an influential thinker and the founder of analytical psychology (also known as Jungian psychology). Jung's approach to psychology has been influential in the field of depth psychology and in countercultural movements across the globe. Jung is considered as the first modern psychologist to state that the human psyche is "by nature religious" and to explore it in depth. He emphasized understanding the psyche through exploring the worlds of dreams, art, mythology, religion and philosophy. Though not the first to analyze dreams, he has become perhaps the most well known pioneer in the field of dream analysis. Although he was a theoretical psychologist and practicing clinician, much of his life's work was spent exploring other areas, including Eastern and Western philosophy, alchemy, astrology, sociology, as well as literature and the arts.

Jung emphasized the importance of balance and harmony. He cautioned that modern people rely too heavily on natural science and logical positivism and would benefit from integrating spirituality and appreciation of unconscious realms. He considered the process of individuation necessary for a person to become whole. This is a psychological process of integrating the conscious with the unconscious while still maintaining conscious autonomy. Individuation was the central concept of analytical psychology.

Jungian ideas are not typically included in curriculum of most major universities' psychology departments, but are occasionally explored in humanities departments. Many pioneering psychological concepts were originally proposed by Jung, including the Archetype, the Collective Unconscious, the Complex, and synchronicity. A popular psychometric instrument, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), has been principally developed from Jung's theories.

His Autobiography: Carl Gustav Jung - Memories, Dreams, Reflections

He looked at his own Soul
with a Telescope. What seemed
all irregular, he saw and
shewed to be beautiful
Constellations; and he added
to the Consciousness hidden
worlds within worlds.

Comment:

In this film, besides other things, Jung will teach you something about mandalas. This video contains some scenes from the interview given in Zurich in 1957 not contained in my previous torrent. Jung was a highly advanced soul, and must have been an alchemist or a magician in one of his previous incarnations. Even today his teachings are still far more advanced than what has generally been accepted by mainstream psychiatry and psychology. The idea that there is such a thing as a subconscious mind transcending the borderlines of the individual, that even transcends the limits of space and time is far beyond what most psychiatrists and psychologists are willing to accept. So far, most professionals haven't even caught up with the teachings of Freud, but in contrast have fallen back into the dark middle-ages of shock-treatment and psychiatric drugs, the dark era of pure materialism so prevalent in the pre-Freudian time back in the nineteenth century, a time when even the idea that there is such a thing as a "psychological problem" was rejected by medicine, a time when any emotional deviation was considered to be a neurophysiological or even purely physical problem. Back then in Switzerland for Jung and his followers it was more about healing people than making lots of money with a pharmaco-industrial allegiance. Today, unfortunately, shareholder-value seems more important than love and compassion for patients. But they're still out there, the descendants of Jung, ready to pull their patients out of the inferno of mental confusion, so prevalent in our confusing materialistic world.
