“An anima relationship is never a normal relationship, but always something fantastical. A man sees his female face in the anima, and that is dangerous; the anima transforms everything it touches. Wherever it is active, it visualizes one’s own image, a man’s own image, and this is his female being, an invisible minority that he carries inside himself.” C.G. JungA man’s drive comes from a deep place and can wreak havoc on him and his surroundings when he can not keep it in check. The 1983 movie Scarface tells the story of such a man and his downfall.Find my work on Linktree: https://linktr.ee/cgjunghelpdeskSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/c-g-jung-helpdesk/donations

“Completeness belongs to the nature of your best effort; it must contain the irrational as well as the rational, the unconscious as well as the conscious attempt. Therefore magic means are often exceedingly grotesque. Think of the magic medicine of the Middle Ages, for instance, or the secrets of the alchemical kitchen, or the contents of magic amulets-like the ground-up bones of a bat-it all seems the sheerest nonsense, but that simply proves the sincerity of the effort. And the means are legitimate inasmuch as they represent acknowledgment of assistance from the other side.” - C.G. JungThe world is more than we see and understand, to allow in things that might not fit or seem confusing is the other side of the coin. Jung made this experience at his midpoint in life and what started by him building castles of sand, just as he did as a child, led to him changing the field of psychology.Find my work on Linktree: https://linktr.ee/cgjunghelpdeskSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/c-g-jung-helpdesk/donations

“Eros without the Logos inside never understands, there is nothing but blind relatedness. Such people can be related to God knows what - like certain woman who are dissolved completely in little happy families - cousins, relations - and there is nothing in the whole damned thing, it is all perfectly empty.” C.G. JungWho could have thought that breakfast eggs could be of such psychological significance?

“Nobody will ever become conscious if he does not hit his head on something.” - C.G. JungConsciousness act as the center point for Jung’s model of the psyche, as something so important that everything else that exists needs to be put into reference to it: The unconscious, the things that are not in consciousness. What it is, how it works and what’s its purpose is will all be part of this event.Find my work on Linktree: https://linktr.ee/cgjunghelpdesk Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/c-g-jung-helpdesk/donations

“This is the stuff that drives people crazy, because they can’t catch themselves anymore; they can no longer control themselves when they have that animal psychology. It means they are driven by instinct. They see a thing and leap for it. That is the condition of schizophrenia, for all those things appear also in cases of insanity; they are dynamite that can easily explode in the human mind.” - C.G. JungThe 2000 movie is an interesting case study of a slow descent into madness, but what would Jung say about it?Find my work on Linktree: https://linktr.ee/cgjunghelpdesk Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/c-g-jung-helpdesk/donations

“Ladies and gentleman, considering that your seat, this room, this lightening, our entire culture are nothing other than products of human fantasy, then you cannot overlook this. There is nothing man-made known to you that is not fantasy. Fantasy is the alpha and the omega of psychic life. Fantasy is the greatest danger of all. Do you believe that a landslide or an earthquake is as dangerous as human fantasy? Well, you haven’t the faintest idea! Fantasy is catastrophe.” - C.G. JungJung saw Fantasy as a fundamental phenomenon of the psyche. As something that can guide us, but also distract us. How we engage or ignore fantasies determines our development and our journey.Find me on Linktree: https://linktr.ee/cgjunghelpdesk Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/c-g-jung-helpdesk/donations

„Although we human beings have our own personal life, we are yet in large measure the representatives, the victims and promoters of a collective spirit whose years are counted in centuries. We can well think all our lives long that we are following our own noses, and may never discover that we are, for the most part, supernumeraries on the stage of the world theater.“ - C.G. JungThere is something deep in the psyche of humans, something that shapes and forms cultures and ages. Jung investigated the unconscious his whole life to hit something that is the foundation of centuries and millennia of human progress. And it was all visible in the sky long before anyone could see the connection.Join us to find out more.See you there.Find me on Linktree: https://linktr.ee/cgjunghelpdesk Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/c-g-jung-helpdesk/donations

„This means not only bringing the conflict to consciousness; it also involves an experience of a special kind, namely, the recognition of an alien ‚other‘ in oneself, of the objective presence of another will.“ - C.G. JungShadow, Anima, Animus, Mercurius. Jung talks often about the figures of the unconscious that one encounters in one‘s life. We are not alone in our home and even though they all look and are different, are the all and the same in the end? Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/c-g-jung-helpdesk/donations

“Even on the primitive level man feels an irresistible need actually to invent secrets: their possession safeguards him from dissolving in the featureless flow of unconscious community life and thus from deadly peril to his soul.” - C.G. JungAs we dive deeper into the hidden corners of Jung’s ideas about the psyche, we encounter one concept that seem innocuous but hugely influential under the right circumstances: The secret.

“Pretty much everything that currently moves the subject's soul is expressed in the associations.” - C.G. JungWithin associations Jung saw the elemental structure of consciousness and the reason for dreams and fantasies. With every call, something in the psyche answered, but was it the patient themselves or something else? Jung investigated that and created his academic career that brought him to the attention of one of the leading figures of psychology of the time: Sigmund Freud.

“The child lives in a pre-rational and above all in a pre-scientific world, the world of the men who existed before us.” C.G. JungIn the broad public little is known about Jung and his contributions to developmental psychology, the emerging psychology of children. Jung studied families and their ties and saw a unique opportunity in children to gaze into the depth of our psychology and in the past of human beings. Join us to learn more.

“You get the feeling that your life make sense the moment it touches nature again. Therefore whenever you have a chance to return to nature, you feel better; at least to a small extent you return to the “mother.” Instinctively your life becomes corrected; it gets the right balance.” - C.G. JungWe are of nature but at the same time removed from it. Jung had pretty clear ideas what the relationship between humans and nature is and is supposed to be.

„I told nobody that I intended to work out the unconscious phenomena of the psychoses, but that was my determination. I wanted to catch the intruders in the mind - the intruders that make people laugh when they should not laugh, and cry when they should not cry.“ - C.G.JungForgetting, a slip of tongue, accidents. All the kinds of phenomena can origin, according to the psychoanalytic school of thought, from a complex in the unconscious. Join this event to find out more about these „intruders of the mind“, how they behave, how they can be measured through the association experiment and how they can become pathological.

“I had accustomed myself to living always on two planes simultaneously, one consciousness, which attempted to understand and could not, and one unconscious, which wanted to express something and could not formulate it any better than by a dream” - C.G. JungThis event will be about the basic premises and threads that pop up when Jung is drawn towards a phenomenon or reaches a conclusion. Commonalities between his ideas that creates a strong footing to say that an idea is Jungian, even when that idea might not necessarily be from Jung himself. Join to find out and discuss.

“If the conscious attitude is too infantile, too immature, an old woman appears as a compensating figure. And the old wise man always appears when one is too foolish. Then the moment one becomes mature and reasonable in one's attitude, infantile figures turn up in the dreams, the puer aeternus motif, for instance. You see, when one is old in one's consciousness, perhaps too reasonable, too adapted, too considerate, then one's soul is young, it is a child even, because one needs childlikeness in order not to dry up and suffocate in one's own wonderful adaptation.”The Puer Aeternus, or also the eternal child, is a psychological phenomenon that pop up in dreams of individuals or even shape the psychology of whole cultures. As everything in Jung’s psychology it can have a positive and a negative side.

“So the worst trap is the body. We have all been taught that our minds and other virtues are wings we put on, so we get to flying about above ourselves, and we live as if the body did not exist. This happens often with intuitives, with everybody in fact. The body appears to us as a most serious obstacle.” - C.G.JungThe discovery of the body and the bodily is for Jung one of the main tasks of the modern mind. While the mind can fantasies about all the possibilities in the world, the body binds it to the here and now, which can create friction and serious trouble for the individual.

“You see to what a huge extent the East honors consciousness as the light benevolently supporting man in the terrible darkness surrounding epitome of evil. All evil comes from ignorance. All evil, the entire sum of life, comes from not knowing. You will find this doctrine in the original words of the Buddha. For whoever is in the the state of consciousness behaves like an automaton. He has no ethic.” C.G. JungWhen we talk about the shadow, very often the topic of evil comes up. This lead to a very lively discussion during the even “Shadow & Projection”. I want to follow up, what evil is for Jung. Where it comes from and what purpose it does serve.Find my work on Linktree: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/cgjunghelpdesk⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠There is a quiz available for this event: https://quizwithit.com/start_thequiz/1729422822551x238898330770598750 Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/c-g-jung-helpdesk/donations

“Through our senses we experience the known, but our intuitions point to things that are unknown and hidden, that by their very nature are secret.” C.G. JungFor Jung, there exist many pathways how experiences can reach our consciousness. The most mysterious being intuition, which is, as he says, “perception through the unconscious,” seeing the possibilities of things, even more so then the thing itself.
