Journey to Hell - The Path to Self-Knowledge

Hell is understood as the archetype of ultimate suffering. It is no imaginary place, but rather a state of consciousness that we all experience at some point in our lives. Hell is an unavoidable journey in life. In ancient mysteries or rituals of passages, the hero must descend into a dark place in order to give birth to a new consciousness and gain access to a new stage of life. It is the most profound psychological death and rebirth of the self. We will be exploring the journey into hell as the path to self-knowledge, self-transformation, and ultimately, self-transcendence. Only in the region of danger can one find the treasure hard to attain. As Carl Jung stated, “No tree, it is said, can grow to heaven unless its roots reach down to hell.” 👑 Become a Patron Access exclusive material and deeper studies https://www.patreon.com/eternalised ⭐ Or become a YouTube Member https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqos1tl0RntucGGtPXNxkkA/join — Support the work ☕ Buy a coffee: https://ko-fi.com/eternalised 💸 PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/eternalisedofficial 👕 Official Merch: https://eternalised.creator-spring.com — For deeper study 📜 Full transcript: https://eternalisedofficial.com/2022/11/24/journey-to-hell-self-knowledge/ 📚 Personal library: https://eternalisedofficial.com/library 💡 eBooks: https://ko-fi.com/eternalised/shop 🎨 Artwork archive: https://eternalisedofficial.com/patron-benefits Stay connected 📨 Newsletter: https://eternalisedofficial.com/subscribe ✍️ Substack: https://substack.com/@eternalised — Elsewhere 🐦 X: https://x.com/eternalised1 📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eternalised_official 🎧 Podcast: https://anchor.fm/eternalised 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/eternalised ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 Recommended Reading ▶ No Exit - Jean-Paul Sartre https://amzn.to/3AHZJK9 ▶ The Cry for Myth - Rollo May https://amzn.to/3EZ9cQ1 ▶ The Divine Comedy - Dante Alighieri https://amzn.to/3EWeATZ ▶ The Marriage of Heaven and Hell - William Blake https://amzn.to/3GRPWoG ▶ The Red Book - Carl Jung https://amzn.to/3tZZMxs ▶ Thus Spoke Zarathustra - Friedrich Nietzsche https://amzn.to/3EZmTyf 🎧 Prefer Audiobooks?
