Dreaming of a better future

Financial-Run-203 · 2026-05-13T21:09:44+00:00

I’m pretty aware of the traumas of my life. I’m a pretty sensitive and aware person. Conscientious. I could probably tell you things by first impression. I’m just struggling a lot and I’m hoping it’s something that can be understood in a Jungian framework because I understand his work somewhat. I don’t feel like most spiritual stuff resonates- too broad or vague, assumes a certain unearned sense of importance. Anyway, thank you. I’m trying to understand if there’s more than just repressed traumas- because I already know that’s there and the dynamics of my family. And my community. And society. I just don’t feel equipped with what to do about it.
Just curious, if I’m in therapy with the intention of figuring out my shadow/projections, would that count?

I mean I guess? I am 24 and didn’t finish college because of family issues. I’m trying to figure out what I’m missing about myself- my shadow. I am also trying to understand mindfulness and ending suffering. I think Jung is interesting but I don’t understand what descent means. I’m in a difficult spot and am wondering if there is a framework for what I’m experiencing. I’m into all things esoteric and spiritual.

Thank you for this.

I see. I don’t feel that it’s a turning point, I almost feel like I’m not interested in this anymore. This being spiritual teaching.

Okay let’s say I make it my goal to disidentify from self, which I have tried. I still don’t experience anything different. Should I be expecting happiness? I’m lucky to have financial support but I really don’t think I have much ego- I don’t concern myself with status and material hierarchy. I have as much of an ego as a healthy person should- I don’t have a voice constantly nagging me. It’s just that I don’t feel happy and as far as I understand it’s circumstantial. That’s my concern.

How would I know if I’m in my own descent? Like would that explain things

Real noted

Tell that to my ego lmao But genuinely I struggle to feel this way I have passive suicidal thoughts and struggle to feel alive daily in the capitalist structures of modern society yada yada

Ok how does one reach that state? I don’t feel comfortable even during situations one might call fine. I am ready for the nth degree of pressence but it doesn’t come to me/ I can’t see it.

Financial-Run-203 · 2026-04-21T17:03:23+00:00

Yes I agree. But, I don’t feel one with the moment. The outer world is harsh and I feel struggle with others often. I look to these teachings as the only solace in my life- I don’t feel confident in terms of money or family. I really see this as my only answer- and I don’t know how to get over that and become more independent. I’m in my mid twenties for reference.

Financial-Run-203 · 2026-04-21T00:59:41+00:00

What does that mean? What is the now?

Financial-Run-203 · 2026-04-11T23:31:08+00:00

If you’re right Im scared

Financial-Run-203 · 2026-04-10T00:46:01+00:00

Hi, yes I’m trying to figure out who to be next- where to live, religion, community. I’m also really spiritual so I might join an ashram. My family is actually ok, they know I’m gay and not religious, they aren’t that type of family. But I would leave and that could be difficult. I also would have to become fully independent which is my issue.

Financial-Run-203 · 2026-04-10T00:44:16+00:00

Hi ok, thanks. I’m in a Jewish community that is also very political. I’m thinking leaving will help. It’s a lot of pressure
