The Call of the Void: facing the darkness of being human.

Have you ever been somewhere really high up, and out of nowhere your subconscious tells you to jump? This unsettling sensation was recently coined the "High Place Phenomenon," but long before that, the French already had a term for this: "l'appel du vide." Which translates to "The Call of the Void."

    When I first moved from India to US 3 years back, I was puzzled so much that why would someone celebrate being a ghost! I was new to Halloween and it’s themes! This video in a way intrigues me to think about it in a very different perspective! 🎃

    incredible video, and thoughts! But I'm scared now, scared of myself, what if I decided to jump? I wouldn't want to leave people I know and love, but what if I chose to? How likely would it be? I find this thought very risky. Luckily I can't stand on a cliff near me, and I think it's better that way 😅

Also just talking to someone you trust isn’t always enough sometimes they won’t see the signs even when they are staring them in the face. And if that’s your only lifeline your going to leave them in a whole lot of pain. Get professional help if you need it, you gotta save you sometimes for those who care about you the most…… Sorry for rant, great video. 😅

    Free agency.. as a human.. at any one moment in time you can be the greatest of good and love and the next the most evil and dark.. The biggest limiting factor on that wide range of freedom is ourselves. My gut tells me all of us humans are living an experiment. No where in all of the universes.. does this level of freedom exist.. except.. on our little planet.. just maybe. As always Jake.. your work is top notch.

    Mate, I love your storytelling abilities and your thoughts about the call of the void. Facing the call of the void, to remind yourself to keep going, I love that! As a Christian, I don’t think you should face all darkness of being human head on. I believe that there is a spiritual world and I believe that the stories from the haunted place are real, as I for example also believe that practicing the weegee bord may work. I'm not going to say that Halloween should be forbitten, because I don’t think that. Halloween is fun. But my point is that you should be careful when seeking some darkness, specifically the spiritual darkness, because the spiritual world is a real thing, and it can affect you. So, Jake I don’t criticize your argument at all. I’m just reacting to you talking about facing the darkness head on, in combination with you seeking spiritual horror stories. Hope that makes sense. Love your films!
