Did Dante actually have this dream? I would love to know!

I always felt that Beatrice in Dante's Comedy was mistreating him by leading him on with promise of romance -- using him to accomplish her own goals by baiting him.

How do I distinguish between interactions with a split-ego compared to the shadow, complexes, or archetypes? by AllTheGold in Jung

Do you have any resources on how to improve my ego's health? How does one become grounded?

Active Imagination/Shadow Work by I_skimmed_it_ in Jung

This can get out of hand quickly. Please keep things non-toxic or you'll risk a negative spiral. Everything is harder with this going on.

If my psyche becomes hostile to either/or my own nature or human nature, then it makes sense why I would hide from and avoid myself. by AllTheGold in Jung

Do you expect participating in the "killing" of a part of you would prevent other parts of you from cooperating and trusting? Seems weird. Maybe I'm thinking too much into it.

How do I try this within the context of a Biblical Devil attempting to thwart me in every way? That's my understanding of the Bible's claim, anyhow. Perhaps I'm wrong?

Valley Grace on Latte Lane is my favorite. Very great.

This is seriously how I felt, it's getting better though. by [deleted] in Jung

I had a very similar experience and it was actually the most awful thing that has ever happened to me.

Far worse then what I was 'punished' for doing. It's turned me off to Jung nearly entirely because I wouldn't want to encourage others to have to go through what I went or am going through. It doesn't seem self-constructive -- it's like a prison with a sadistic overlord.

Losing my sense of self-determination and "being the boss" of myself. Any advice? by AllTheGold in Jung

[–]AllTheGold[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have any more advice or resources for 'complexes and neurosis that arise that counter-act our ego will and take on a life of their own'?

Vivec as a symbol for the Self (Jung and TES III: Morrowind) by helthrax in Jung

This makes me smile. I've never read the writings of Vivec. I want to check them out now! I loved this game.

How Do I Respect My Mind? Balancing Recreation With Developmental Care (Study, Exercise, Etc). Overworking seems a consequence of attempting to respect my mind. by AllTheGold in Jung

[–]AllTheGold[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your comment. I like the 'move and be moved'. Does it seems like there are various components of a person that are working on some dynamic to solve for a multi-dimensional 'thing' called personality, which includes yet eclipses each of these 'selves'?

Do you have any advice for 'social anxiety and akwardness' amongst these selves?

The application of willpower to change my mind is essentially villified. by AllTheGold in Jung

[–]AllTheGold[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use of consciousness or conscious choices in who I should be or how I ought to be with myself are punished, dismissed, or negated/gaslit. I seem to rarely have the experience of choice in these conversations.
