Sounds like an explanation I can understand about what some call the devil.
I have now watched four or five of your videos over the last two days. The journey I've been on for the past seven, eight months has many times taken me to the brink of insanity. Your input is more helpful than I can adequately express. Whatever else may be true, we know that this biological reality is where we find ourselves, and that it is expressing itself through us. Again, thank you so much 🙏
The first half an hour of this video has helped me to understand my relationships with women more than any other resource I have ever encountered. Thank you very much 🙏
Such synchronicity isn't ironic. My own Trickster visited me very recently....mmmmmm.
Hello and thank you for this work. I am not primarily an english-speaker, so your discourse is a little harder to follow for me (I have to translate it to myself in french). That said, what book from Jung do you recommend to read first ?
I met the trickster and went through the whole chart. I had no idea what was happening to me until I found your channel. The constellation of synchronicities- so real it upended my understanding of reality and consciousness. I appreciate its dark, obscene humor. It has had me in my knees, terrified, sobbing and shaking until I got the joke eventually. It definitely messed up my life. I am still finishing unraveling my false understanding of my Self so that he doesn't take over again. My life, psyche and relationships, consciousness were split. I experienced something akin to psychosis but never left my footing in reality. All in all it has released me from my internal bandage through suffering and forced acceptance with radical self honesty. In order to reform my psyche into a whole I needed to allow it to consolidate realities and perspectives, experiences that are at odds with one another. I am here now at the mercy of my purpose. If you have met the Trickster, enjoy the journey and remember to take him very seriously but not too seriously 😅
This one is for Steve. Thank you for showing me my mirror in the discord chat. I solved it. 🪨🗡🌟 Love and blessings, Tom
Blessings & Respect @121withtom3 , Kindest Regards, Steve🙏
Love you guys, but wish you wouldn't call it the eggo 😀
Hi @ianbuchan2102, thanks for your kind comment. i don't normally reply to people who obviously don't know about why its pronounced that way, but as you've been polite, and in good faith, I'll answer you here. If you check out Professor Mark Solms, neuropsychologist, psychoanalyst and founder of Neuropsychoanalysis - editor and translator of the Revised Standard Edition of the Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud, he pronounces it that way, the correct Latin way. Also (and there are many other examples, have a watch of this video originally broadcast in the 1980s czcams.com/video/W3rxPQItXb8/video.htmlsi=eRZSTfsr7G7Y8vkm Its by the Reverend Don Cupitt. Note how how he pronounces 'Ego' - as a philosopher, the Dean of Emanuel College at Cambridge University, a theologian educated in Latin, and a scholar of Freud, Jung and Nietzsche. His exposition on Darwin, Freud and Jung. Blessings and Kindest Regards, Steve 🙏
Only just found you. Absolutely brilliant.
Hi @priyaterner6871, thanks so very much for your kind comment. Hope you enjoy the rest of the channel. Some of our recent videos cover the same ground as this one. Blessings, Steve & Pauline 🙏🙏
53:30 important things to note
Hi again @RandomPerson-hj8fq , thanks so very much for your kind comment, Blessings, Steve & Pauline🙏🙏
I cannot begin to explain how thankful I am for this information explained in this way. Saved and will be rewatching until I stop self sabotaging.
Hi @CrustaceousB, many thanks for your kind comment, Blessings to You and for Your Journey, Steve & Pauline 🙏🙏
Tricksta is my boy
This needs more diagrams - or changing into a seminar format. But thanks, i got something from it.
Hi @stu7399 , if you check out the most recent dozen or more videos on the channel, you'll find this same topic covered in a lot of depth, with animated graphics and seminar style format mixed in with dialectic and Q&A style material. Kindest Regards, Steve & Pauline 🙏🙏
My exploration tells me that what buddhist define as "monkey mind", can be directly mapped to "trickster mind". The mind constantly producing toughts, produces them from (originates them) the personality of the this buddhist "trickter mind". Some of us have a trickster that is somewhat benevolent... some other have a very incisive trickster directing their thoughts... how seriously yourespond to those thoughts is the "force" or the "emboldenment" you provide to the amplification of the personality of our personal trickster (mind).
Sweet !
Cheers @electricpodcast8656 , Kindest Regards, Steve🙏
I’ve been doing dream work for just a few months now after beginning to study Jung. I realized recently in interpreting my dreams, that my unconscious has been projecting ‘jokes’ or ‘plot twists’, where ‘I’ (the dreamers perspective) have an encounter with another person, feel how angry and upset it makes me, only to realize when I wake up that the other was supposed to be representing some quality of mine. For instance, one dream was about a professor who was absolutely infuriating, another was about someone being needlessly destructive, sometimes songs I wrote are sung back to me by ‘others’ in the dream. Without going into details, when I begin interpreting the dreams I realize I was actually the other. Is this the trickster showing up in my dreams? Either way in the painful process of realizing the dreams meaning, I feel it moves me forward in correcting an inflated ego consciousness.
Thank You!!!
Thanks to you in return, @marcelaperalvo8806, Kindest Regards, Steve 🙏

I'd been getting impatient and dissatisfied, and i was starting to go back to looking around typology sites for an easy answer, an easy way to understand and validate my experiences, even though i kind of knew they didn't have it, and that i have the actual breakthroughs when i'm lost and just observing myself, well yeah that, bye Edit: to be fair... it’s a coping mechanism, i think, we want others to mirror our experience, it’s just that typology is a shitty way to do it. And i can say that but not always know it. But i guess i know it a little better now
Hi @epicgamer-ur1wg, many thanks for your kind comment. Typology, as it generally appears on the internet and in pop-Jungian-ism, bears little to no relation to how Jung originally represented, and intended, his type theory to be understood. Its an internet-guru trap, as people can be readily inducted into a collapsed state of identification with ideas that have zero clinical relevance, and very little use in personal development, unless, having learned about it, it can be set aside for far better understanding. We've been using Jungian type tests and theory for well over 40 years if front-line health care, and although it has its minimal uses, the model has as a result of pressure testing, needed radical updating and revision. We'll be covering this soon, in as part of a new video series, but the original model and its derivatives, have needed to be set aside by incorporation of the more than 100 years of advancement in related disciplines, since Jung first wrote his book 'Psychological Types' (Collected Works Volume 6) back in 1921. As for commercial type testing, its best to avoid them, and at the very least, use type theory and modelling as Jung himself intended, which means as a small part of a much bigger understanding, that cannot come from 'typology' alone. Kindest Regards, Steve & Pauline 🙏🙏
This went way over my head when I first watched it 3 or so years ago. I thought it was more about being on the receiving end of transference, and how unfair that is (as I well knew and have known from personal experience). Now I realize and appreciate that it is not only about that, but equally so, about the nature and potential for counter-transference. As a "karmic return", as Steve mentions in the Discord Transference Channel. Not as an invitation to become vindictive, I am sure. But as a potential consequence, of pushing that line too far. As I have been coming to appreciate more and more recently, ego boundaries are extremely important. Both internally (with respect to relating to the psyche and non-ego consciousness), and externally, psycho-socially too. (Edit: I have recently studied the entire Transference Channel. Using dialectical syncretism, with everything else I have been learning through JTLB and IPSA, and working to build a virtual model of, within: including the FAJ Equation, instinctive pressure, 'Anxiety', the EIWC basis for many if not all Transference, the fundamental nature of Individuation Neurosis (as understood within PSA and detailed greatly in the discord), the nature of complexes and their 'need' to maintain themselves - together also with recent seminars and discussions on homeostasis, non~attachment and the utilization of instinctive pressure, and of course rapport with the psyche and altered-states of consciousness - i believe, that in addition to the above, i have a well developing understanding of what the "Transference Cure" might be (where appropriate), from the PSA perspective - and how to utilize those dynamics in personal development and at least in theory, clinically. Just wanted to include this Steve as I wasn't sure if you remembered my CZcams name and was kind of happy to just leave it to chance. Now that you have acknowledged you know its me, it's a good opportunity to include this edit too. So that you know how much I have got into, in addition to the above. There is still more. But just to keep it brief 🙏 thank you (and Pauline), as ever. I will be continuing to relate to and build these things and everything else into an integrated understanding, moving forward)
God bless you three and your families. As someone who struggles with boundaries and recognizing my personal identity with relation to familial and social roles , your conversations and undeniable work ethic helps me stay grounded. 💪
I've got a huge blind spot with men that I've been intimate with, which, of course, is my Daddy issues, which I've convinced myself in the past I've understood and overcame but then it's back lol I'm not wide awake but I have woke up to a lot. I've strong intuition, but with a partner, I'm blind. It's been a really difficult journey learning to trust myself and my own intuition.
I met the trickster on a very strong LSD trip. I thought I know how stuff works (I'm a physicist and also read in philosophy), but Jesus the trickster played with me. He or rather "they" (it was represented in some kind of kobold hive mind and sometimes as a single jester) showed me that I actually know nothing, my ego just likes thinking it knows. It was tough and painful but also funny, the trickster basically said: "look how funny your ego is, look how funny it is how strong it's beliefs are, you know as well as I know that it's only a belief and that it's just easy to think that way, you know as well as I know that this belief can be wrong, because deep down you know that you know absolutely nothing. You think you know, but I show what you do not know" this fucked me up at first but they I understood the joke. I understood how funny it is to hold strong beliefs as it's equally as funny knowing that it's just a weakness to hold strong beliefs. This humbled me a lot even though it was painful. The trickster didn't care, it just wanted to joke
Gives me some relief knowing I could one day escape the hell my mind creates for me every day
Amazing content! Thank you
This is absolutely incredible. I feel so CLEAR!❤
Please do one on depression 🙏
8:00 "Allegory and myth are usually the best way to illustrate psychological facts, because they carry a very, very broad symbolic bandwidth which includes emotion, intentionality, reconfiguration in the terms of archetypes..."
So many of these videos are so jam-packed with paradigm-shifting content. It is so exciting and so inspiring to witness the very cutting-edge.
Unbelievably clarifying on so many levels. While watching, I could tell that understanding the content of this video would serve anyone's health for a life time. As a personal, specific example of relating to this material, I might've confused an instinctive drive state as representing somatically (overbreathing) which was trying to bypass ego resistance, for "only being a psychosomatic complex". This makes much more sense, and feels like simply knowing this will facilitate healing communication. What a blessing to be training with IPSA. I look forward to bringing this to others. Thank you.
Stay safe and well my friends! 2 weeks and your message was very timely.
Hi again @savoirfaire6181, Blessings and Thanks, Steve & Pauline 🙏🙏
the first time i tried active imagination i saw a vision of the court jester killing the king and taking his crown. about a year later, i had a meditation induced manic episode after trying "Kundalini yoga" without any instruction. One of the most intense experiences of my life. Now I get it. A subconscious voice told me "There's a twist at the end," thanks for letting me see the twist.
Hello! This is hands down the most fascinating discussion on mental health I have ever seen. Synchronicities abound! I’m an occupational therapist in a community elder-care/well-aging setting in the US. I am currently dealing with my own anxiety/burn out/exhaustion related to my work. I love seeing my hypnotherapist, she has been invaluable in integration and “feeling better” at a physiological level. I find CBT to be alienating and sometimes coercive in how it’s used in the US. I have even considered becoming a hypnotherapist myself I’m so impressed with the modality. Your explanations for drive state, genomics, instincts resonate for me-you put words to something I couldn’t quite conceptualize but have felt at a deep level. Thank you for all your insights and taking the time for this wonderful discussion.
Hi @OccupationalThpy, huge thanks for your kind comment, and for subscribing to our channel. You probably know that Pauline was a senior Occupational Therapist/manager, in Psychiatry in the 1980s and through into the 2000s, and pressure tested the development of Psycho-Systems Analysis as a depth-psychology and biopsychosocial psychotherapy, in that context, as well as moving with me from Occupational Therapy into front-line primary care. We've always found that OT is the best foundational training through which to start a career in psychotherapy and hypnosis, without the psycho-reductionism and abstraction, that comes from a background in academic psychology. Personally, I moved on from academic psychology, into Occupational Therapy training (under Pauline's influence) and I can say that without doubt, that this was the best decision for me, as it opened up so much, varied experience in humanistic medicine, and brought me into contact with mentors whose guidance has lasted a life-time. Please feel free to reach out on contact@jungtoliveby.com if we can be of any help, or just for a call. Kindest Regards, Steve & Pauline 🙏🙏
Thank you all so much for this guide on resolving anxiety.
Hi again, @OwenRhoads612 thanks so very much for your comment, Kindest Regards, Steve & Pauline🙏🙏
Can we get chapters
Hi @SvenStoffels, if you go to the description and scroll down there are comprehensive Chapter and time-stamps there. Kindest Regards, Steve 🙏
@@JungToLiveBy Danke schön 🙏
Ever since I've found this channel and have been studying the contents published here, my understanding of and engagement with signals such as anxiety has fundamentally changed. I can say with confidence now that the unpleasant signals that I was used to receiving are no longer bothering me and I am now able to trust the natural signals and drive states from within to guide and fuel my actions in the outside world. Simple but took a long time to understand, still a long way to go but I could not have done it without the top notch and unparalleled resources on this channel. Thank you.
Hi again, @iHomer0007, nice to hear from you! And thank you for your support for the channel, these past three plus years. This is really great news and will no doubt inspire many others to follow your example of hard work, dedication, and consolidation of success. Blessings, Steve & Pauline
As I've said before underneath one of your videos, your work seems to be the missing link between the scientific and artistic community, and it has allowed me and encouraged me to observe deep within my own self. That observation has revealed much, and I feel like sharing what I've observed trying to boil it down to the essential, for the sole prupose of doing so: As of now, the structure we have built in our brain through millions of years of self-conditioning and education, retains and consumes the quasi-totality of the energy within the human organism, only to perpetuate itself out of a fundamental fear of death, or dissolution, which is bound to create sickness and crippling of a physical and psychological nature. In the action of insight, one would notice that anxiety is the branch of a far bigger tree, which has evolved itself throughout millions of years of self-inflicted education to accumulate of more or less sophisticated memory and knowledge to deal with future threats and dispel past hurts, all of which are still imprinted in the brain we all inherit at birth, collectively. So one inherits the fear-based cerebral structure of the totality of the history of mankind, although personal experiences create the superficial illusion that it is only one's own. If one is to understand and dissolve anxiety, one is to look at it directly, without preference and without the purpose to end it; that is without acting upon it at all, which is the action of insight: to look without trying to act upon one's consciousness is insight. It is not our fault to have inherited a brain that is so configured, but it is our responsibility to deal with it. This structure is the result of millions of years of recorded fears, with all the causes that support their existence, including the hurt and sorrow that human beings have inflicted onto each other for millennia, the memory of which it still retains, physically. Through the action of insight, which is not a concept or an abstraction, but a ''passive action'' so to say, one can observe that everything human beings are suffering for all around the globe, and have inflicted on themselves and onto each other for millions of years in personal and public settings is caused by the cerebral structure they inherit at birth, which exists within the human brain regardless of personal circumstances, with the sole purpose of filling itself up with individual fears and memories which generate an illusion of so-called identity. The act of insight, or observation without preference, alters the matter which is observed, dissolving it, and one needs no scientific knowledge to act in such a way; this releases the energy the clusters of memory retain for the sole purpose of letting it back into the organism, whichgives the system a sense of vitality. Each cluster of energy retained by brain cells has an independent existence, and looks to further its own cause without recognising its total interconnectedness with the rest of the structure, let alone the fact that it inhabits the same organism, and so is effectively fighting itself; this gives an individual a sense of inner fragmentation and confusion which is physically observable, and is produced by conflict within centers, identified and unidentified with, which erodes the brain and wastes the energy in the system. The totality of this bundles and clusters of memories and sensations gathered in the brain is the self-concept, which is the illusion of the effective, factual existence of a "me". This "me", a complex, physical cerebral map based on past experiences and respective sensations, the purpose of which is to trigger an accumulation of memory to avoid the repetition of hurt, is continually attempting to avoid sources of danger, for its only original purpose is to perpetuate itself; this means that anxiety is inseparable from it, and so is terror, which is its very root and essence. Identity is simply a large gathering of bundles and clusters images stored in the brain and associated to sensation, which are re-ignited presently in the body each time one explores the remembrance or encounters the "source" of pain or pleasure; this generates a sense of imminent threat each time one comes in contact with what previously hurt them, which might also be what gave them pleasure. This system is constantly active and is the basis through which human beings observe the world around. One can see that the brain clings to and feeds this identity it itself created because it confuses its dissolution with physical, bodily death; because of this, it has put in place and refined, through time, a system of psychological accumulation similar to the gathering of resources necessary for survival, which serves the sole purpose of retaining an illusion of psychological safety, something to hold on to. To protect and perpetuate this system, the brain ignites memories of past hurt to punishthe proximity with what it recorded as a source of danger, and reward avoidance of a source of danger or pursuit of resources. This means that the brain is totally enclosed within the limitations of its own preferences, and is incapable of disentangling itself from them. So the brain is a slave to the mechanism that human beings have imprinted upon it throughout millions of years of self-conditioning, regardless of its degree of sophistication. From a slight modification of past memories of hurt, a necessity to predict and control the future arises within the brain, to avoid the repetition of the experience, or pursue that which has given it the illusion of having increased its chances of self perpetuation. This creates a constant, illusory inner movement in psychological time which ignites a continual sensation of physical anxiety. It can be easily observed without any experience: each time the brain begins moving in time, whether in the past or in the future, there is anxiety and fear. It is as if the brain is trying to take charge of the motory, bodily functions of physical movement in time and space, to be absolutely secure that its movements do not endager it, so it is basically looking for bodily security, which becomes perverted when it becomes psychological. Anxiety is a ramification of this very complex structure which serves the purpose of keeping the system alert, for idleness in the body is associated with potential danger by lurking predators, a state in which one is not accumulating resources, and not climbing the social ladder, all of which make survival less likely. At the basis of this complex system of self-reward and self-punishment is terror. When one says ''terror'' they mean an intense physical sensation of imminent death, which can be triggered by the simple, quiet observation of a deep part of the structure in one's own room, without any actual threat being present (observation dissolves the clusters, and the brain generates intense sensations of fear to discourage this activity and ensure the structure continues existing, if one is making it clear). So one can clearly, undistortedly observe through unbiased insight, which is to look inside without the preferences of the brain, that human suffering is due to the bodily needs invading the psychological field, so to say, in a continual, terror-driven, angst inducing state of quest for security and comfort of a kind that is not merely bodily, which takes a tremendous toll on the body itself, for it implies a constant dual conflict between that which is hurtful and pleasant, oftentimes the source of both being the same person or object (like a long term partner or a job). If one does not deal with the radical fear rooted in an age-old terror of death and will for self- perpetuation, they are trimming the branches of a much larger physical structure within the brain, which demands actual physical energy to sustain itself; and so is acting from within the field of their own distorted view of the world, skewed towards the identification and avoidance or neutralisation of danger (which is bound to create anxiety) and the pursuit of sources of self-perpetuation Careful observation reveals that our collective and personal sorrow is the manifestation of the existence, within all of our brains regardless of age, nationality, personal experiences, cultural background, of an ancient inner cerebral map based on fear, which can be physically dissolved through the act of insight, or dispassionate observation. Sorry to write such a long paragraph Luca
Blessings @lucarinaldi01, thanks for your kind comment, and for sharing your progress in personal development. Kindest Regards, Steve & Pauline 🙏🙏
Hi! Another question: what do you guys think about emdr?
Hi @liamsilveira4757, some people say that they've found it useful. Others not at all. It has some antecedents in eye-movement tracking and analogical marking, in early forms of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). For my own clinical practice, its nowhere near enough of a methodology, or underlying theory, to be of applicable use. Kindest Regards, Steve 🙏
So, anxiety is actually like a compass, showing way towards homeostasis and thus worth listening to.
Hi again @nuni6158, its certainly the 'carrier wave' of an otherwise hidden, or mis-interpreted homeostatic signal. Kindest Regards, Steve & Pauline 🙏🙏
Damn 7 hours?? I didn’t even clock the hours in the thumbnail, ooooo I’ve gotta get into this
Blessings, @miguelbaptistacartaxo. Kindest Regards, Steve & Pauline 🙏🙏
Some of the most profound stuff i ever heard in youtube. Amazing.
Thank you @dino_rider7758, for your very kind comment 🙏 All the best, James
Hi @dino_rider7758 don't forget to check out our recent videos on the Anima & Animus. Kindest Regards, Steve & Pauline🙏🙏
i find this very interesting, as someone neurotic trying to move towards somatic experiences and actually existing in the world, i’ve now come to view instincts and the genomic self as a new depth to explore the reality around me. as i understand this means slight dissociation and avoiding internal projection, is this by letting the genome speak to you in that state or holding intention & searching within? i know that from another vid that creativity develops internal relating, and once you’ve said that to be creative one should be a vessel for said creativity, do i let creativity come to me unlike instincts? or are they opposites in their approach
Hi @aitcheulet, thanks for your comment, and question. Creativity - the drive to bring novelty and its applied function, into the world, through relating both inwardly, and outwardly, is an 'instinct' in and of itself. The "slight-dissociation" you mention, is the dialling down of the Ego's attention, in order to be able to 'receive' both the 'drive -pressure' of the 'Seeking-System' from the genome, and the 'field-pressure' of 'intuition' as a ground-state of consciousness, independently configuring, and functioning, of our usual psychological-information processing. In other words, it (intuition) presents itself to our Ego-consciousness, from outside of it, and indeed outside of our external senses, our emotions, or even our somatic consciousness. According to Jung, It is "perception by way of the unconscious." We regard it as perception by way of the (Objective) field, of information' - so it is superpositioned, with psychology, but also simultaneously exists in biology, non-biological materiality; in the fundamental fields of physics, mathematics, and beyond as the representative qualia of 'ground-state consciousness' . The best way to create a receptive vessel for it, is to consciously make it welcome, then without demanding of it, 'receive' its configuration, into your subjective awareness. Then you, as the subjective, experiencing, psychological self, can work with it. Kindest Regards, Steve 🙏
It was so cool to see Steve's answer to my question as part of the video! Ever since applying his insights I've slowly been able to overcome the previously debilitating anxiety that was stopping me from engaging in everyday life. Words cannot express my gratitude! I was so excited to see another 7 hour video posted so soon after the last one. It took me a week, but I watched the entire thing. Learned a lot this time around. These are just some highlights of my many pages of notes: - Cognition sorts itself out once the drive state is removed - Drive states are emotionally neutral until they are interpreted; If you interpret wrong it can actively work against you by exhausting your energy - Drive states should not be challenged directly, but instead contradicted (by human novelty) - The fundamental driving force of consciousness is intuition at every level - Hyperrationality doesn't work when someone is in a distressed state because there is nothing for them to receive the rationality; Instead we have to focus on the ground state they're operating at This channel brings me much joy and I'm grateful for the continued effort to produce quality content like this consistently. Just some feedback: - 2:47:00 Discusses hyperventilation causing Alkalosis which could lead to a whole array of issues... Does that suggest that the Wim Hof breathing method is potentially dangerous? - 3:58:55 Steve discusses exploring trauma in a future video. I would love to see a breakdown of this topic - 5:07:41 Objective waveform of information is the ground state level of consciousness; It is ancient yet timeless. Does this imply that the objective waveform is an eternal field that reality is based off of? I recall Steve was against the idea of panpsychism, but would be curious to see if I'm understanding this correctly
Hi again @moons_mind, thanks for your ongoing support for the channel, which is hugely appreciated. Its really good to hear about your personal success, on your journey, and that you've shared this in encouragement of others, here on CZcams. Regarding your feedback points: Wim Hof, is a one-off, and for us anything to do with respiratory training, that cannot be utilized in therapy with anyone, regardless of age, biomedical health, and vulnerabilities to suggestion, is not something we consider. Regarding Trauma, yes, we are working on this video now. Regarding the Objective Wave-Form (OWF) this is the sum of the dynamic field of information, that extends across the biopsychosocial stack, away from our immediate subjective awareness, at any one time. So, for us, its the manifest informational dynamics, of the underlying 'Platonic Field' which arises out from an Informational Monism substrate, at the level of the Planck-scale, and the Planck-time. Panpsychism, where this may collapse into an extension (by inflated identification) of the personal subjective (Ego) self, so that it (the Ego) is in everything, and therefore everything is the Ego, which is the basis for our caveats about the incautious use of the concept of Panpsychism. An additional caution, is over the collapse of a definition of consciousness as-such, into: 'to be something like', a human, reflexive, Ego consciousness, otherwise, it isn't conscious at all. We are careful to distinguish between the Ego-Conscious, and the Non-Ego Conscious (this latter being usually referred to by convention as the 'un'-conscious). Our definition of consciousness, as 'A complexity of information, that represents itself to itself, and to other complexities of information'.

i'm 12 minutes in and i've spent about an hour taking notes, researching concepts like monism and trying to understand what's being said. tbf i don't really have much prior knowledge on jung ig. i had to use an ai to search the internet just to find out what "informational monism" actually is because it was so hard to find, it wasn't entirely obvious to me that the use of informational is literal in that the substance is information. interesting stuff though.
Hi @maxresdefault8235, thanks for your comment, any new area or approach, is an opportunity to extend, revise or even confirm existing understanding. If you are interested in Informational Monism, the last 12 or so videos on the channel cover this is great detail including through animated graphics. Kindest Regards, Steve 🙏
Yes
Cheers, @ratonlaveur5437, Kindest Regards, Steve & Pauline 🙏🙏
James , my cyber friend ! With the JTLB Gang standing in opposition against traditional CBT interventions, do you offer a variant of talk therapy to interested clients ? Or Can you recommend a trusted practitioner with an astute drive to help those in need? Any insight or direction would be much appreciated!
Hi @charanko., no problem at all - please feel welcome to reach out to us at contact@jungtoliveby.com, and we'd be happy to advise based on your specific circumstances (e.g. your territory). All the best, James
Synchronicity I am so grateful for as this is my biggest battle at the moment… Not counting my demons, but I guess this will include
Hi @sabrinaszabo9355, thanks for sharing your journey, Kindest Regards, Steve & Pauline 🙏🙏
We are on the cliff as you say Steve. I do sense a shift coming... a silent collective shift from as you say 'individual men of this generation.' I speak as one of them and the effect of your words is not lost on me sir. This video has only confirmed that which I have been observing and intuiting these last few years. Thank you, all of you.
Blessings, @jamescoutts308, the energy and motivation at a ‘field’ level, for reversal, is constellating. And yes, it will take men like you, to meet the challenge of the new, dynamic equilibrium. I believe in your generation, your legacy, will be the future you build for those in posterity, yet to come. 🙏🙏
