Usually, we know such characters from fiction - because people doubtless have done such things, but when they did, no-one could be sure... And what if successful people are faking their 'sanity'?

Congratulations you (he) realized it. He's woken up and recognized that you aren't the singular wave on the ocean, pushed about by the winds and tides, to fear your end when you crash into the beach. The real you is the entire ocean. The power of omnipotence is not to be able to do anything, but it is in fact to be doing all things, simultaneously. You don't have to know how you shine the sun anymore than you know how to grow your hair or fingernails. You just do it.

    @@JBGAMBIT Stoicism is great. As for the politics, yeah the communists and global corporate overlords have made sure that us "live and let live" "don't ask don't tell" libertarians have to become political, because while you might think that you don't care about them, they absolutely care about you and will cause problems in your work or school or hobbies, or all 3. They have filled every corner of media and much of education, tech and government with their propaganda and policies and leave no aspect of society unattacked. At a certain point it's not EVEN political. For example the value of free speech is divine, as God, or Logos, the root word of Logic and Dialogue, is the cornerstone of a functioning society. These days false accusations of National Socialism by International Socialists and Corporate Monopolies is regularly used to silence people who would offer legitimate points of dissent to the current order of corruption. When society goes sideways you are going to be along for the ride. *Objections may come from a philosophical or even theological level, rather than a political one.* But in any case, one may not be able to keep their head in the sand.

    I say this is pretty typical of the western mind that is built upon a deeply flawed template expecting everything to fit into neat little boxes like so much crap we all consume on a day to day bases. The lack of heart coupled with a linear mind on top of cement personalities often results in people who can't understand nature seeing such as being irrational. It does amuse me how these sort fail so hard when it comes to feeling and expressing human emotions and brings me to dark places how they pressure others into being cold.

    I cannot stress enough how important your channel has become. Thank you for taking a deeper dive into Jung's works and influences. For too long people have been content to explore his concepts at a surface level. What people sometimes fail to realize is that these are not just hypothetical theories, but expressions of actual experiential phenomena. Jung's writings are very cryptic and written in a circumambulatory fashion, his writings revolve around a central area (The Self) across his Collected Works. He simultaneously veils and unveils through his language and allows people to read into his writings what they project onto it---he will speak of the importance of not identifying with the unconscious contents, but later speak of his apotheosis vision of becoming the Lion-headed Mithras deity.

    I was just reading the red book recently and it's very clear that his existential explorations drove his work. He had the ability to articulate himself in empirical, rational, and scientific fashion, but the driving force behind his idea's was not primarily based on empiricism in the sense of observing his patients, but rather an "inner empiricism" of observing his own psyche during fantasy, dreams, visions, and so forth. As far as his writings revolving around a central idea in a circumambulatory fashion and revealed in a language that allows projection and a plethora of interpretations, the exact same thing could be said about Nietzsche. Jung may have been a psychologist and Nietzsche may have been a philosopher, but what drove their works is what I believe has driven the founders of religions and religious sects throughout the world.

    @@williamkoscielniak820 Well said. With regard to his empirical approach however, you're right in highlighting the "inner empiricism", but his observations of reality certainly helped with the building of the personal experiences he had and the formulation of his concepts. That's what makes him a powerful figure, he didn't approach observable phenomena in the world with disdain or a priori explanations or dismissals, but observed things as they were. In many ways, his concepts emerge from the "ground up", rather than intellectually/theoretically "top down".

    "It is not a sign of health to be well-adjusted to a sick society" - Krishnamurti. Yet, it is next to impossible not to sucumb, at least at times, to self-doubt in the face of authority figures who lavish their "compassionate" diagnoses on the individual who dares to cross the invisible, yet palpable, line of social norms, which amount to a recipe for an insipid and intolerable life of conformity, of belittling oneself in order to please others. Self-belief is exactly that treasure that is so hard to find, the philosophers stone that turns base metals into gold. While this path can, as Jung observed, lead to ego inflation when untethered by a social role, it is better to err on the side that ends in divine mania, than sink down to the unimaginable depths of depression and taedium vitae one is bound to experience when he loses trust in himself

    I believe Nietzsche's mind came up with a mechanism to process all that was happening to him. His life experiences, his sorrows, his pain, his joys had to be stored into a whole, so his brain devised a plan to put him in a state of complete indifference to his surroundings and thus achieving some kind of enlightenment. Pulling him out of the everyday torment. A complete overtaking of the memories and not allowing new connections to be made or formed in the brain. Because it could not take more. A self-preservation mechanism. Quite fascinating, isn't it?

    @@WeAreAllOneNature This is actually a VERY DEEP subject. The subconscious is WAY more powerful than people think. The Ugly Truths in society tend to trigger what Orwell called Crimestop, which is clearly subconscious controlled (it completely overrides the conscious mind). ... "CRIMESTOP means the faculty of stopping short, as though by instinct, at the threshold of any dangerous thought. It includes the power of not grasping analogies, of failing to perceive logical errors, of misunderstanding the simplest arguments if they are inimical to Ingsoc, and of being bored or repelled by any train of thought which is capable of leading in a heretical direction. CRIMESTOP, in short, means protective stupidity. But stupidity is not enough. On the contrary, orthodoxy in the full sense demands a control over one’s own mental processes as complete as that of a contortionist over his body.” ~George Orwell, 1984 ... Before I knew about crimestop, I referred to this as "trauma aversion mind control, self-induced." It is a play on trauma-based mind control that is externally produced. ... The key appears to be that the subconscious prefers temporary avoidance of dealing with the pain of BIG PROBLEMS when there appears to be very little short to medium term cost of doing so. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS! Why? Because the family lines who wield private control over the global money systems have learned how to manipulate it such that they deploy what they call "silent weapons for quiet wars." Search that document title and read that document. ... The problem is that the danger is in the long term, not the short term. But silent weapons must, of necessity, work in the long term. Otherwise, they won't be silent. ... I will share some "silent weapons for quiet wars" in future replies, and see if you subconscious prevents your conscious mind from logically assembling the relevant information free of contradictions and free of logical fallacy reliance.

You cant convert chaos to order those are two different aspects, two different parts of you one represents neo cortex and other represents basal ganglia. Sometimes the bridge connecting limbic system to the neo cortex gets damaged due to severe cptsd etc and thus cluster bs are plunged into chaos /animalistic behaviour.

    I have experienced this state of psychosis. It was one where my walls gave way, and laid down before me were items known to me. It all started when I started practicing tulpamancy. I think in some cases, my psychosis was started by the will of a figure in my subconscious... if you let the subconscious form, it'll destroy you.

    I had a cousin who was so spiritually aware, extremely physically fit too to the point where he was a acrobatic monkey and really smart too. He went on this deep search within for more wisdom and more self knowledge, that whatever he stumbled upon has permanently taken him out of reality he has been bed ridden for the last 10 years or so. In a vegetable state. Doesn’t speak. He barely says anything. He just stopped living. He was my hero and I to this day I try to embody some of his habits and lifestyle before the fall. His name is Augustine.

    @@abraham8565 Um, yes. As an over-thinker, overthinking leads to procrastionation. Not only that, but I have been picking apart my very being with videos on physiology and how the mind works and the like. It is very fascinating, but also dangerous. Once you take a peek down the rabbit hole for too long, the darkness rises up to receive you, and you fall in, never again to see the light the same way. The overthinker (in this case, the deep thinker) is able to tolerate the company of others, but falls into a melancholy state, thinking of how much in life is wasted potential and frustrated that others don't think about things as deeply. It also feeds the ego, and you do begin to think you are higher. That is why it is nice to have someone else come along and slap you back into reality with their own original thoughts. A deep-thinker destroys himself from the inside out; while the man who acts on pure "nature" such as anger hurts others.

So, it's quite possible that one or more of them realised some deep facts about the Nature of Human Beings, just like some Ancient Indians like Buddha, Yajnavalkya etc.

    "Divine Mania" is a fanciful fallacy purported by those who run afoul of applied metaphysics; unsupportable, impossible to disprove, and disastrously romantic. While real madness (as a genuine disability) is always a danger when radically evolving one's consciousness, those who truly attain to any discernible level manifest the fruits of their endeavors, rather than a decent into torment. To entertain that brilliant people who've fallen into madness might be secretly more brilliant in some unknowable way is little more than magical thinking.

    Agreed! Friedrich Nietzsche undid his own great mind through unintentional menticide. Killing ones ego is killing oneself. It is far better to live with a strong healthy ego than to obliterate that which all fault was placed on. I find Carl Jung to be too much fantasy, but I do agree on the perpetual falling in darkness, the inevitable consequence for anyone that self reflects too much. Friedrich never found some fabled inner mind treasure. It cannot be found, it must be forged. Yes, we want Nietzsche to have won but that's not reality. Nietzsche lost. For he was the first. He was alone and truly felt alone. But from his efforts came wisdom he passed on. I made a vow to quit self-reflecting until I recover from my Complex-PTSD. The parallels between Nietzsche and myself were far too many. Where Nietzsche lost I will win. Of that I am certain.

    Submit to the one and only Lord Jesus Christ. Nietzsche went down bad for his blasphemy and rejection of The Most High. Trust me, read the Bible, confess, pray and wear Gods armor strong and righteously and develop virtues based on Love. Ignore hate, confusion and division, those are snares of the devil. Introspect and meditate on those and live the Faith and you should find a good wife and prosper according to Gods Will. Don't worry about the world going against it or hypocrisy going on in Church or it's people. Take care of a relationship with God and he will straighten your path. God Bless 🙏

    Amazing! Thank you so much for these videos. I would have never thought of the possibility that Nietszche's madness was something more than mere dementia. I was so gripped by your investigation, the way you layed out a path Nietszche truly might have gone down. I gasped when you read some fragments of his letters at the beginning of this video. "I am every name in history". The true question is from what point of view might Nietszche have spoken those lines. One can see where Jung was coming from when speaking of a possible ego inflation, yet to think that Nietszche's inner exploration might have been more spiritual than psychological, and led him to the wisdom of the many non-dual, mystical and Eastern teachings... That he might have realized the state of enlightenment (divine mania) in his own unique and individual way and discovered what few in history have: that our aparrent individualities are an illusion and we are all actually the Eternal One...I just can't stop smiling at that possibility! We'll never really know, but the thought of it is wonderful enough! Thank you for this wonderful content Academy of Ideas!
