Marie-Louise von Franz - The Process of Individuation (Full Essay)
Jung's final book was called Man and His Symbols, the purpose of which was to explain Jungian psychology to the general public. Being very elderly at this time, Jung appointed his main disciples to write different chapters of the book while he focused on the introductory essay. Chapter 3 of the book is about the central concept of Jungian psychology: individuation. For this, he entrusted his closest disciple, Marie-Louise von Franz.
This important chapter outlines the process of individuation, describing its role in the life of a human being, and its importance to the wholeness and vitality of the psyche. I have personally listened to this essay more times than I can count, and it has powered much of my own individuation process. The essay contains a complete roadmap to individuation, from describing the formation of ego consciousness in childhood, to reconciling the shadow, then the anima, up until the emergence of the self, and how this can be adapted to day-to-day life in the final section on how one's ego should relate to the self.
ML von Franz (4 January 1915 - 17 February 1998) was a Swiss Jungian psychologist and scholar, renowned for her psychological interpretations of fairy tales and of alchemical manuscripts.

Yes but is it true?
Listening to this for the third time in the last year and will come back to it again for sure. Deep gratitude for the upload.
I love this article. And I am very grateful to this woman. I've been reading and re-reading it for many years... I use it as a ruler to measure my development towards Individuation.

Agreed, yet to become more involved in your personal development, start recording your dreams... you will likely see a pattern that speaks to issues or concerns in your life. I find that my daily dreams portray mind/emotional problems that I want, or need, to repair or understand. It takes work and attention.I think this is the reason that a Jungian therapist is important. It's difficult to always be moving forward when doing dream work alone.
This is so precious and came right on time. Thank you for this upload 🙏🏻
Am re- listening... What a GEM. Thanks ever so much. And if there are additional recordings i’d be cherish them as well. Merci. 🍁
Thank you, not only is this content fascinating it is also such a cool aesthetic
Thank you for uploading this!! 🙏
So much of the world unfortunately will never be exposed to this or anything similar. That is a reality time line way far in existence
Thank you ❤
It is difficult to take in the interpretations given when I constantly stop to examine dreams I have had. I find myself drifting back to dreams passed and then realize several minutes of the video have gone by. Fascinating.
Read in a lovely way!
Thank you!!
Thanks, again.
Thank for this timeless wisdom of European spiritual heritage 🙏❤️

Hi
I would love to meet with an equal number of Jungians and Freudians to go through the major theories of each school. I believe that the thinking of Jung and Freud can be updated. My psychoanalysis began with a Freudian, which remained nresolved. 20 years later, I decided to give analysis another go - self-directed, following a breakup from my 12 year significant other. Dreams have been my major source of focus. I believe I was viewed favorably by the divine beings, who decided to give me a helping hand. I seemed to be going around and around, leading nowhere. This is when I had my one and only Out-of-body experience. (Nothing similar to Jung's out of body experience or vision!) However, my OBD provided the breakthrough. It took another 4 years, or so, to achieve Individuation. Reading Jung gave me the insight needed to align all the pieces of my psyche into a unified whole. There were a series of dreams that I experienced in formal psychoanalysis, recorded and remembered from 40 years ago that I believed held the secrets to resolving my life-long anxiety neurosis. It's been a long, painful grind. Is someone like me qualified to understand which parts of Freudian and Jungian Theories are valid? One thing is certain; both have flaws, and it's time to bring Psychoanalytic Theory into the 21st century. Please find more individuals who have Individualized so that clarity can be developed. Both are relevant and I believe that both schools can be effectively unified. Please assist me in making this happen. It's time.

I'm not a scholar. I'm not brilliant, but smart enough. My curiosity and drive are my long suits. I only read when I want to discover something that will give me further clarity or perhaps a different insight that will bring me closer to understanding a dilemma that I'm focused on. Although I'm vaguely familiar with the concepts of shadow, animus, archetypes, complexes, id, ego, and super ego, I've not studied any of them in depth. I have recently developed respect for the role of the id, from a lengthy Freudian lecture found on KZread this month. The lecture is probably the most useful work that I've ever heard, as it filled in the reasons my official analysis could not find resolution. In truth, I feel Jung enabled me to see and understand my complex; although I cannot deny Freud's importance, too. As I worked through my childhood, adolescence, young adulthood, etc., many of the analytical constructs fell into place, seemingly magically. Yet, I know such things occur only as a result of patience, work, and emotional suffering. I was the scapegoated child in a family of various forms of narcissists. My parents were authoritarian Christians. Enough said.

No dreams usually imply an unresolved complex; no dreams can continue for years. Become aware of your specific complex. Perhaps read through Jung's various complexes. You must have an awareness of yourself, emotions, and feelings. If not, find the complex that speaks to you.
