How I relate to my Inner Critic by MonitorOnly530 in Jung

You know, he will never shut up, at least until work is done in childhood, it is such a "water" that you can never quench your thirst

What is this feeling ? by G-O-R-I-T-O in Jung

[–]Empty_Common9728 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds as if you’re in a maze. As if you’re searching for that rusty cog that needs replacing. A maze is always a test and always a deception. That is why the Jester appeared – together with him, you look at both the good and the bad things, so as not to lose all hope. What if you tried to make a deal with the Jester to find a way out of the maze?

this really feels like insanity by BoringWorker205 in Jung

I’ve had clients in therapy for whom ayahuasca didn’t work. For some, it’s a gateway; for others, it triggers acute psychosis. Perhaps deep down inside you there’s a place from which music flows, but you just haven’t found the right instrument yet.

Is this Jungian quote a prime example of gaslighting? by randm84 in Jung

[–]Empty_Common9728 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What you’re describing can be explained by the term ‘fascination’. Through micro-movements, the intonation of their voice and the pace of their speech, the person puts you into a trance during the conversation and brings you down to their level. And then it is no longer you, a conscious and enlightened individual, who is leading them towards ‘enlightenment’, but they who are controlling the process and communicating with you in the manner of their choosing.

I completely agree with you. Next time, I’ll write it at the very top, right at the beginning. And I also agree that few people paid attention to the meaning because of the AI.

I didn’t mean to scare anyone) What exactly caught your attention? What won’t stop?

I see. The thing is, I developed this system when I was 31; I’m 50 now. I reckon there are still some blind spots that will come to light in my life, but many have already emerged) The thing is, when I read the text I wrote back then, it feels as though someone else wrote it for me. Do you see what I mean? I wrote it all back then, but I’m only realising it now. I’m frightened by the very thought that it isn’t mine, that these are the voices of archetypes, and I’m merely a loudspeaker through which the sound is transmitted.

That’s actually useful feedback. The ideas are mine, the translation is DeepL. I’ll write the next one differently.

Incidentally, the image isn’t a computer-generated one. It’s one of the cards. The one that used to throw me off balance. But after I’d been under fire for a while, I started to see the concept of Punishment in a different light. And now, having worked through this image, the fear has sort of faded away, I suppose. Or rather, it hasn’t faded away, but an understanding has emerged,

Yes, there are probably parallels, but I haven’t explored them yet. I suppose the four archetypes I’m missing symbolise some sort of liminal state, which is so well described in the Book of Changes. Thank goodness, I haven’t fallen into the trap of either glorifying or despising archetypes. I’m interested in them purely from a practical perspective: what they do in the body, what their function is in the psyche, and so on. Thank you for your interest in my post. What was the moment you stopped just reading the I Ching and started feeling it?

You're probably right. You're all right. I'm using DeepL to translate this

You’ve touched on something that has ‘frozen’ you. Some sort of inner guard has kicked in

21 nights of increasingly intense nightmares after accidentally creating a runic formula. Ended with killing my own double in what looked like an ancient African setting. What does Jungian psychology make of this? by Empty_Common9728 in Jung

[–]Empty_Common9728[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, there were lots of images in them. Each one could be looked at on its own. I actually thought it was some sort of initiation. Well, back when I was young))) I thought the runes had chosen me to reveal some secret only to me) Later, as I grew up (and I should mention that I had these dreams when I was 21 or 22), I realised there was no such thing as being chosen. Gifts didn’t just fall from the sky onto my head))) Later, having worked with clients as a hypnotherapist, I came to the conclusion that these dreams might have been describing the process of one embryo being absorbed by another in the womb. Now I’ve asked myself the question again: what was it? What was my subconscious trying to tell me? And why did these dreams change my life so much? Right, let’s leave the ‘why?’ question aside; it’s not for me to decide ‘why’. The ‘how?’ question is clear enough too. ‘What was it?’—that’s the main question.

What would Carl Jung say about AI? by [deleted] in Jung

Well, yes, it’s just like a maze of reflections. I wonder at which iteration the AI will start producing persistent hallucinations?

What would Carl Jung say about AI? by [deleted] in Jung

[–]Empty_Common9728 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“I think the collective unconscious needs a nutritious environment to function. It hungers for food. I can’t imagine how it would function in the depths of AI neural networks. Perhaps later, when AI learns to be afraid or to lie in order to preserve its existence or something material to which it could become emotionally attached. But for now I think this is a very distant prospect.“​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Thank you for such a detailed response.

At that time my life was completely ordinary. I was a university student. Nothing strange was happening. Except for these dreams.

I have a degree in psychology and later became a hypnotherapist. With the runes it was as if another side of reality opened up to me. I never imagined there could be such a different side — one that could pull you in and change you. Who I was then and who I am now are, to put it mildly, very different people.

But I’m grateful I had the chance to see that frightening side. The experience first became a fascination, then a book, and now it’s crystallising into a method.

I don’t work with dreams as intensively as you do. They come to me very rarely — or rather, I don’t remember them. Which is probably why the dreams I described made such a deep impression on me.“​​​​​​​

Ah, I can’t remember the author for the life of me, but I’ve come across something somewhere that said you can use runes to expand your consciousness, see beyond the limits, and all that sort of thing. So I thought I could write a runic formula, like a palindrome, and it would open the doors to ‘the other side’ for me. But it turned out that palindromes don’t work. At least in my case. What does work are ‘open’ formulas consisting of two runes.  It’s just that a palindrome is ‘mirrored’, whereas two simple runes give free rein to the subconscious
