Carl Jung - How to Find Your Soul (written by Eternalised)

This after school presentation was

written

and narrated by the eternal Swiss psychologist Carl Jung saw how the modern materialistic world of the pleasure of money Fame and power led not to happiness but rather to a growing sense of meaninglessness, anxiety , suffering and loneliness. Seeking to return our attention to the search for our

soul

and reestablish our connection with itself, our most intimate life in the Sanctuary is a journey of discovery of ourselves, which is our true and complete personality, consisting of our conscious life and unconscious. This is what Jung calls the process of individuation, our journey of psychological maturation.

It is the indestructible Foundation that sustains us when we can no longer stand like a rock on which the waves continue to break, remaining motionless despite the fury of the sea. To be in contact with this deepest part of ourselves is to be in a state of Tranquility without Being disturbed by wild emotional fluctuations, the goal in life is not perfection but plenitude. For Jung there are two stages of life that are part of individuation. The first half of life is oriented toward the outside world. Work, education. Relations. Etc., we must throw ourselves into the fire. of life and exposing ourselves to daily life and hard work that solidifies our personality natural life is the nourishing

soul

of the soil that provides a rich source of nutrients that heals us that is why contact with nature is important we should not get lost in what abstract thinking to the detriment of practical life is the body feeling the instinct that connects us to the earth in his old age Jung continued to value this way of life he wrote I have dispensed with electricity and at night I take care of the fireplace and the stove I light it myself the old lamps there is no running water and I pump the water from the well I cut the firewood and I cook the food these simple acts do and simple and how difficult it is to be simple this anchoring is actually a prerequisite for the second half of life where our focus shifts towards our inner world our search for individuation and this is the phase of life Jung is mainly concerned with the realm of the unconscious the world of inner life is as infinite as the world of outer life man lives in two worlds However , many people have neglected this part of themselves and only remain half alive;

They are not prepared for the natural transition to the second half of life and fall into a midlife crisis because they have not learned to align both worlds when we face the real and crushing problems of life we ​​desperately search for our soul we realize that the values ​​we have learned from society do not help us. Conformity is the great destroyer of self-harm. The opposite of courage in our society is not cowardice, it is conformity. We are often persuaded to take the seemingly easier path of merging with the crowd and forgetting about ourselves. It takes courage to face the crowd.

A person can be surrounded by a crowd of people and yet feel completely alone because they are alienated from themselves. The search for the soul. It is a lonely task and when we avoid the soul, it continues to move, it disturbs us, it makes us restless and it does not give us peace. However, these problems are important, they are incentives for us to undertake the work of the soul without the trials and tribulations of the life we ​​are not. You are likely to muster the determination to overcome the indifference of daily life. People will do anything, no matter how absurd, to avoid facing their own soul.

The door that leads to destruction is wide and there are many answers through it, but the door to peace is narrow and in me the answers. safe through Soul Affliction, it is wise to nourish the soul, otherwise you will breed dragons and demons in

your

heart, every psychic advance of man arises from the suffering of the Soul, embrace

your

pain for there your soul will grow like the limbs of primitive indigenous tribes. Jung recognized that the loss of Soul leads to a feeling of meaninglessness in life, when a tribe of people lose the feeling that their way of life is worthwhile, they may stop reproducing or, in large numbers, simply lie down. and die next to streams full of fish food.

It is not the main food of man instead of our current banana life. Jung would ask us to embark on a great adventure of self-knowledge that arises from investigating the unconscious realm once in the world and, for Yum, this is the true journey of life without the soul the body is dead and without the body the soul It is unreal. The soul is the home of our supreme values. Dreams are the guiding words of the soul. We must carry them in our hearts and travel through them in our minds like the words of the person most dear to us.

The dream is a small door hidden in the corners. innermost and secrets of the Soul that opens to that cosmic night that was the psyche long before the consciousness of the ego existed, apart from dreams. Jung developed the technique of active imagination in which having a dialogue with different parts of yourself that live in the unconscious is similar to dreaming except that you are fully awake and conscious during the experience he discovered this technique when he experienced The Dark Knight of the Soul or what he calls his confrontation with the unconscious, a mid-life existential catastrophe in which he was overwhelmed by visions and plunged into unknown depths, it was as if he experienced a psychological death and decided that external death is better than internal death, for that he turned around and looked for the place inside. life and so began the search for his soul this led to one of the greatest contributions to humanity the red book Jung wrote my soul my soul where are you do you hear me I speak I call you are you there I have returned I am here again I have shaken my feet the dust of the whole earth and I have come to you I am with you after long years of long wandering I have come to you again There is only one way to the soul and that is your way there is only one salvation and that is your salvation if the The path before you is clear, you are probably on someone else's, each one must follow their own path, so look at yourself because you must follow the path that is in you.

When we are in contact with our inner self, we are more likely to experience synchronicities. that is, significant patterns in life where the inner world is seen to have a correspondence with external reality. The first step towards individuation is the integration of the Shadow. This is not our enemy, but our ally. It contains pure gold waiting to be integrated into our personality. It becomes dark only when ignored. We must learn to monitor our emotional impulses and be aware of projecting our own problems on other innocent people. Only after encountering a shadow can we move on to the deepest part of the world.

Soul that Jung calls Anima, the feminine psychological tendencies in men, and Animus, the masculine psychological tendencies in women, these are the contrasexual images of the soul in our psyche, while the integration of the Shadow is the piece of the Apprentice, the soul. The image is the masterpiece, the integration of the anima is carried out by taking the feelings, moods and fantasies of the unconscious seriously and making them come true through creative work, such as painting, sculpture or musical composition, the anima is the source of life and when it is not. integrated we feel lifeless and depressed enriches our life by making unconscious contents conscious the animus on the other hand is the source of meaning gives meaning to our unconscious contents in the outside world endows women with qualities of initiative courage objectivity and spiritual wisdom avoiding cold and destructive reflections or hidden convictions about how life should be, as if trapped in a cocoon of dreamlike thoughts that separates the woman from the reality of life, the integration of the Soul image is what opened a path towards the most fundamental figure, the The fullness of the self can only be achieved through a union of opposites in which our light and dark sides are united.

Jung's process of individuation is analogous to the great work of the alchemists, where the Philosopher's Stone is a symbol of the self that is within oneself for Jung. The task of alchemy is psychological, it is the art of expanding consciousness. of self-realization when we have lost our way or do not know what to do with our life, we can only surrender to the higher wisdom of the self, our constant inner companion throughout life, Jung. he didn't see himself as a healer but as someone who could guide you to heal yourself. The cure should arise naturally from the injured individual.

This search for self allows empathy. Mutual understanding and desire to become an ally in other people's journeys into psychology. maturation this is how we improve our relationship with ourselves, with others and with nature life is not a problem to be solved but a mystery to be experienced we do not require any esoteric knowledge to be in touch with ourselves anyone can take the time to look inward to reflect on the meaning of life give time and attention to values ​​interests and activities that bring joy and satisfaction to one's life who looks outside dreams who looks inside wakes up if you are interested in learning more about Jung's works head to my timeless channel where I have explained these concepts in more depth.
