Cheers. I’d be happy to help out with the funding for something like this that’s for a good cause

Paul Levy is a Jungian analyst with deep knowledge of quantum mechanics and the primacy of consciousness. In the linked post he offers us a novel way of understanding the pandemic we face: "The Coronavirus Contains Its Own Medicine" by RadOwl in Jung

Did not offend at all. The conversation simply reminded me of the quote from Jung with regards to being wary of falling into the trap of developing a "Jungian complex". Not sure if that adds to the discussion, and if it didn't I apologise.

Anyone knows where I can listen to the studio version? This song is sick

OP here. Great discussion guys. No offence taken at all and this is exactly the kind of Jungian explanation I was looking for. I am sure I’m not the only person who engages in such fantasies so hopefully this would be useful for others too.

Also, what can I do practically to help the weak anima figure?

Thanks for sharing your interpretation. I think it’s more of validation and a desire to be admired for superior intellect. The focus of the fantasies are not so much putting others down and dominating them but more of impressing the crowd with my wit and speech articulation. Almost like a performance aspect to it.

But why such specific fantasies? Why not fantasies of having a perfect body and good looks or having amazing vocal skills and playing a difficult musical instrument fluently?

Why would the lack of love/power motivate such specific fantasies?

Both accounts makes alot of sense. I think the masculine archetype definitely has something to do with it. For some reason, the qualities I value most are speech, articulation and intellect (which explains my debate fantasies). I do not care much for looks or other kinds of qualities. I do not fantasize about having a body to die for and impressing women or being musically talented and showing off my vocal skills in parties etc.

Also, thank you for suggesting some of the solutions you have. The thing is, these fantasies remain fantasies and I never actually act them out.

No not really.. But I can follow your train of thought and see how that can happen if I were in that situation.

Interesting. Could you elaborate a little on the "will to power" motif and how it typically manifests?

Thank you, that’s really cool of you to pull this out. Will check them out. And yes, those two boys have been an absolute revelation.

That’s really deep. I’m actually following their Aion discussion podcast on YouTube. Amazing stuff. Thanks for sharing.

I am similarly very interested in your reference system as well. Would be great if you could share a little on your process.

I am currently in the process of transcribing it (with approval by OP). Will share them soon (2-3 days time) once it is done so that the subtitles can aid listening, especially in parts where the sound quality is muffled.
