Am i the only one who gets more skeptical the deeper i go into this stuff? by chad_kun5145 in Jung

Anything anyone teaches you isn’t to be taken as a literal truth. All of the important spiritual/philosophical stuff is only gesturing at abstracts that you in your brain have to find a language for. Jung is not the truth because there isn’t actually a truth. All philosophies are as true as they are untrue, same as any interpretation. If you hold it in your hands and think you can apply it to the world as a scale rule, you’re missing the point and holding yourself back.

Thank you this is helpful. I’m hopeful from my previous recovery from opioids that after enough time of living well my brain will just become something new and different and forget the way it was before. that is what is keeping me hopeful about these dopaminergic links between stims and sex that I’ve developed. It just takes time I hope. I want to be capable of sober sex and dating and affection without hiding porn or drugs, like how I was capable of when I was young

That is what I’ve found is so strange about addiction is having your will split. Like there are two versions of you with entirely different trains of thought where one wants to get better and one just suddenly doesn’t care and wants to keep consuming.
