Jung's Personal Mythos: Uncovering the Self

In this 'spoiler free' #bookrecommendations, I go over primary aspects of Carl Jung's 'The Black Books', which are his personal notebooks exploring ideas of self-discovery, individuation, and the importance of imagination. I highlight Jung's attempt to generate his own personal mythos through art, myth, and fantasy as a means of self-development and integration. The books explore the difficulty in differentiating one's true self from the masks or personas we present to the world. I analyze Jung's understanding of the Atman-Brahman concept from Indian philosophy, noting areas he may have missed. The video emphasizes the importance Jung places on imagination, often undervalued in the modern scientific era.
