I think I found the error in my thoughts that has been holding me back. Thinking about selfworth I always think that someone is better than me in one way or another, which in the end always leaves me feeling like a loser, because there just is always someone better. But now I really began to think about it and it seems to me that I could subjectively actually say that I am the most valuable person. Subjectively that is true. What I mean is that when considering myself and my life, I can and should think that I am more worth than others, because I am the best man for the job. If I were to try and be anyone else, it would be wrong, and if someone else were to try and live my life, they would b
If the religious myth can be thought of as a framework for containing the unconscious in, can we make the connection that our consciousness is rapidly developing based on the evolution of the contemporary religious myth. This could be seen in how we have moved from many gods to one god (in west). Where multiple gods were necessary to contain a larger amount of unconscious content, one god became more fitting once we became more conscious. This would also imply that the transformation of the contemporary god-image will inevitably be projected into something like the Self as a natural product of our conscious evolution. Risking serious inflation, what is your objective take on this?
Earlier this week I read a post about a person having violent daydreams. Daydreams in which the person would get into violent situations. Beat a person who wronged him and enjoy the respect from other people witnessing this. I experienced similar daydreams growing up. I had these really early on, like from 9 years old until maybe 20 years old.
Today the post got me thinking and reflecting back to what exactly happened in my mind during this process and where it lead me.
I have always been a very sensitive individual. Growing up, I experienced all the typical troubles of being an INFJ. Thinking of all the psychological maneuvers I performed to get around my difficult personality, I thought
I formulated a more intuitive version of the Jungian map of the psyche. To make it simple I made it less simple by adding a third dimension. To understand the map, we first view it from above and then from the side. https://postimg.cc/gallery/7qjR6mG
The individual’s whole psyche is inside the circle and so outside the circle is naturally the outer world. Persona is closest to the world, since it is what we mostly work in the world with. The persona is in the conscious mind. I haven’t personally encountered any writings on a concept called the inner persona, but it only seemed logical to invent the term for the following purpose. Just as a person needs a persona to navigate the outer world,
When I first got introduced to the concept of the Shadow, it seemed to me like something only other people struggle with. I watched a lot of videos about it, and tried to grasp the subject. The videos always gave me a feeling like everyone could tell what the concept of the Shadow meant, but that no one actually had any clue as to what it is beyond the concept itself. It was only after reading much of Jung's work that I could piece it together and find the mysterious entity from my own life. Although the video content has probably increased and gotten better since the time I was searching for it personally, I decided to put together a video myself and explain the concept as wel
