Here's the transcript: I was always looking for for something in between you know something that linked that remote past with the present moment and I found to my amazement, it is Alchemy. Young's early realization of his own consciousness sets the stage for his lifelong exploration of the mind. "Never do human beings speculate more, or have more opinions, than about things which they do not understand." Young, from his childhood, Carl Jung experienced strange and seemingly unexplainable phenomena. He feared that he was going mad, and went on the quest to discover what they meant. I saw yellow waves, swimming rubble, and the death of countless thousands. This vision lasted for two hours, it confused me and made me ill. I was not able to interpret it. Two weeks passed then the vision returned, still more violent than before, and an inner voice spoke: “Look at it, it is completely real, and it will come to pass. You cannot doubt this.” I wrestled again for two hours with this vision, but it held me fast. It left me exhausted and confused. And I thought my mind had gone crazy. Young had these vivid visions just before the first World War broke out. When this happened, he was sure that now schizophrenia was threatening him. He understood that his dreams and visions came to him from the subsoil of the collective unconscious. Young’s visions continued into adulthood, providing eerie premonitions that aligned with significant historical events. As far as I can remember, nothing had happened before that would explain this sudden coming to consciousness. You hadn't, for instance, been quarreling with your parents or. No, no, no. What memories have you of your parents with a strict and old fashioned in the way they brought you up? Oh well, you know, they belonged to the later parts of the middle ages and my father was the past of the country and, and, you can imagine they what people were then you know in the seventies of the past century they had the convictions in which people have lived since 1,800 years. Young’s upbringing and environment also played crucial roles in shaping his perspectives on consciousness and reality. For Jung, the pressing question was: How are such meaningful events, not linked by any apparent causal chains, possible? What does this say about the physical universe? These were surprising juxtapositions that scientific rationality could not adequately explain. Jung’s ideas intersect intriguingly with modern scientific discoveries such as the principles observed in quantum physics. The double slit experiment in quantum physics demonstrates that particles can behave differently, depending on whether they are observed. This shows that our observation has a direct impact on reality, supporting the idea that synchronisties are a profound interaction between our consciousness and the physical world. These concepts aren't just theoretical, they can manifest in our daily lives through meaningful coincidences. Let's say you're feeling stuck in your job and unsure about your future career path. One weekend, you attend a community event out of curiosity. While there, you meet a speaker who talks passionately about their journey of changing careers and following their dreams. Inspired by their story, you strike up a conversation with them after the talk. This connection leads to a mentorship, providing you with the guidance and encouragement you need to pursue your own passions and make a successful career change. As you delve deeper into the realms of psychology and personal transformation, you discover that even renowned figures like Carl Jung had their own experiences with the extraordinary. As a youth, Jung not only experienced unusual visions, but also events that could not be explained in any manner. During the summer holidays, Jung was studying his textbooks and heard a sound like a pistol shot. He rushed to the room and saw that a solid table had split from the rim to be in the center. Some two weeks later, he heard another sound. This time he saw that inside a cupboard, the bread knife which had been used shortly before, had been snapped off in several pieces. These inexplicable events sparked Jung’s fascination with the unknown, driving him to explore the depths of the human psyche and the mysteries of the supernatural. I had written that book that cost me my friendship with Freud because he couldn't accept it. And that is the archetype. And that is the archetype of the animus. When a man seems very high, then he thinks he must have a very wonderful spiritual character, because he can sing the highest C.

Everything we call real is made of things that cannot be regarded as real."** * **[00:05:07] "Jungs's correspondence with Freud began in 1906."** * **[00:05:10] "Freud, in his materialism, rejected most of Jung's questions as nonsensical."** * **[00:05:31] "Freud replied that it was sheer bosh."** * **[00:05:40] "Jung's dialogue with contemporaries like Freud often highlighted their differing views on the nature of the psyche."** * **[00:05:47] "To this day, I do not know what gave me this certainty. But I knew beyond all doubt that the report would come again. Freud only stared aghast at me. I do not know what was in his mind, or what his look meant."** * **[00:06:00] "And that is the archetype of the animus."** * **[00:06:01] "Jung's dialogue with contemporaries like Freud often highlighted their differing views on the nature of the psyche."** * **[00:06:06] "Jung's correspondence with Freud began in 1906."** * **[00:06:36] "It is all psychology. it has also the aspects of a the archetype of the animus."** * **[00:06:37] "When a man seems very high, then he thinks he must have a very wonderful spiritual character, because he can sing the highest C."** * **[00:07:00] "And so you see... It is the the...the basis of our modern way of conceiving things."** * **[00:07:54] "The world hangs on a thin thread."** * **[00:08:08] "Man's soul is a complicated thing, and it takes sometimes half a lifetime to get somewhere in those psychological development."** * **[00:10:06] "But one thing is sure, a great change of our psychological attitude is imminent. That is certain. Because we need more, we need more psychology. We need more understanding of human nature. Because the only real danger that exists is man himself. He is the great danger, and we are pitifully unaware of it."** * **[00:10:16] "And that is of course, makes her complete, you know."** * **[00:10:37] "If mandala symbolism is the psychological equivalent of the unus mundus, then synchronicity is its psychological equivalent."** * **[00:10:58] "And then what? When the psyche is not under that obligation to live in time and space alone. And this wonderful picture of how the present moment has evolved out of the past."** * **[00:12:29] "For Jung, finding one's own mandala symbol is crucial for the development of the self."** * **[00:12:56] "These occur before stressful or pivotal events. Cultivate acute awareness by paying close attention to seemingly insignificant details in your daily life, and be mindful of patterns or recurring themes, signaling upcoming challenges."** * **[00:13:36] "Journaling helps see the correspondence between inner experiences and external events. In line with the hermetic principle of correspondence, as above, so below, as below, so above."** * **[00:16:56] "The aim of the Taoist sage is to live in harmony with the Tao, avoiding extremes and achieving balance."** * **[00:17:04] "Jung’s idea of archetypes illustrates how deep-seated patterns influence our personal behaviors and dreams."** * **[00:17:17] "Jung attempts to account for synchronistic events primarily in terms of his concept of archetype, which are patterns of instinctual behavior responsible for the organization of unconscious psychic processes."** * **[00:17:33] "The archetypes arrange the psychic material and produce meaningful patterns in the physical world."** * **[00:17:57] "The cause of striking a billiard ball with a cue leads to the effect of the ball moving in a specific direction. This fundamental principle is important in physics and also for the explanation of free will."** * **[00:18:05] "However, this worldview leaves out an important question. Why do events sometimes coincide in a meaningful manner? What does it mean if, at the exact moment a distant relative dies, a bird crashes into the window? This coincidence is as meaningful as the possibility that the falling bird caused the person to die."** * **[00:18:18] "For Jung, this meant that there was another factor, a causal in nature, which he called synchronicity."** * **[00:18:33] "Prophetic synchronisties, these are symbolic messages that guide you. Evaluate whether your life is on autopilot, if synchronicity seem absent, breaking free from routine, by embracing new experiences and challenges."** * **[00:20:37] "Exploring your consciousness and breaking free from routine aligns with the hermetic principle of mentalism, the all is mind, the universe is mental."** * **[00:21:08] "The archetype is a force, he has an autonomy. It can... suddenly sees you. It is like a seizure. And you are gone."** * **[00:21:15] "That clicked."** * **[00:21:54] "...in the widerest sense of the world."**
