    Lovecraftian Cosmicism | Existentialism, Absurdism and Nihilism

    H.P. Lovecraft was an American writer who is known for his creation of what became the Cthulhu Mythos and the creator of the literary philosophy known as Cosmicism, emphasising the Cosmic Horror of the unknown and the insignificance of human beings in the vast realms of space and time. This video explores the peculiar philosophy of Cosmicism and its similarities with Absurdism, existentialism, and nihilism, three movements that arose from the human experience of anguish and confusion stemming from the Absurd, ultimately diverging to different perspectives on life.

    The Quest for the Holy Grail (The Self)

    The Quest for the Holy Grail has fascinated the Western consciousness for a long time. It epitomises the true spirit of Western man and is, in many ways, the myth of Western civilisation. It is a perennial and timeless pattern that expresses fundamental concerns of the human condition. The Holy Grail is a mysterious object guarded by a king in a hidden castle. It has been described as a cup, dish, or a magical stone that can provide healing powers, immortality, eternal youth, and unlimited nourishment. It represents the fulfilment of the highest spiritual potentialities in human consciousness, which endows the world with a symbolic and spiritual meaning. The quest for the Holy Grail is always more or less the same, it is the hero’s journey, at the end of which one obtains the “treasure hard to attain.” It is the search for that which makes life most meaningful. Psychologically, the Holy Grail—like the philosophers' stone—is a symbol of the Self, the psychic totality and ultimate wholeness of the human being. The soul which represents the life principle, is that wondrous vessel which is the goal of the quest, whose final secret can never be revealed, but must ever remain hidden because its essence is a mystery. 👑 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/2023/08/23/the-quest-for-the-holy-grail-the-self/ 📚 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 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 Recommended Reading ▶ The Grail Legend - Emma Jung and Marie-Louise von Franz https://amzn.to/3KL9Oei ▶ Perceval, or the Story of the Grail - Chrétien de Troyes https://amzn.to/3YFvm1V ▶ Parzival - Wolfram von Eschenbach https://amzn.to/3KJgOIK ▶ Merlin and the Grail.

    The Psychology of The Wise Old Man

    The Wise Old Man or Sage is an archetype that is recognised by almost everyone, be it in stories, games, movies, or everyday life. In myth he is often shown as one living in isolation, meditating and living a simple life deep in a forest, in the mountains, or in other uninhabited places. The Wise Old Man is a lover of wisdom, and uses his experience to guide others. He is portrayed as a mysterious person or a wizard, in contact with nature and the numinous and unseen forces that permeate our existence. The Wise Old man appears as a teacher of wisdom such as King Solomon from the Bible. In Hermeticism, he is Hermes Trismegistus, the fount of all wisdom and the teacher of the mystery of all ages. In China, the sage is Lao Tzu ("old man" or "old master"), the founder of Taoism, while in India there are the sadhus and yogis. In Arthurian Legend he is Merlin, in Nietzsche he appears as the prophet Zarathustra, and in Carl Jung as Philemon. In modern popular fiction we have Yoda, Gandalf and Dumbledore, among others. In the individuation process (the lifelong journey towards psychic wholeness), the archetype of the Wise Old Man is late to emerge, and is therefore seen as an indication of the Self (the total personality). 👑 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/2023/09/25/the-psychology-of-the-wise-old-man/ 📚 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 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 Recommended Reading ▶ Jung and Tarot: An Archetypal Journey - Sallie Nichols https://amzn.to/3PH7zM2 ▶ Awakening the Heroes Within - Carol S.

    The Psychology of Angels

    Angels have fascinated human consciousness since the beginning of time. The word angel derives from the Greek angelos, which is the default translation of the Biblical Hebrew term mal’ākh (literally “messenger”). The angel is a messenger between God and mankind. Whether we talk about angels, daimons, djinns, fairies, or any other of such beings, they all hold something in common, despite their difference in appearance, namely, they are all archetypal images of the same fundamental pattern, the archetype of the ethereal being. These spirits coexist with us; they just exist at another level of reality. As the archetypal image of the call, the angel initiates individuation, the journey towards wholeness of personality (the Self), as well theosis (union with God). Therefore, angels can help us both psychologically and spiritually. The integration of the angel archetype allows us to examine the nature of our essence or soul, the uniqueness that asks to be lived in each of us, and that unfolds itself during our lifetime. Thus, angels carry our true vocation, which is a calling, towards the meaning of our life. 👑 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/2023/10/25/the-psychology-of-angels/ 📚 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 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 Recommended Reading ▶ The City of God – Saint Augustine https://amzn.to/405uOTu ▶ The Soul’s Code – James Hillman https://amzn.to/3M3QQjJ ▶ The Life of Saint Teresa of Ávila by Herself https://amzn.to/3s1WZGv ▶ Journal of Dreams – Emanuel Swedenborg https://amzn.to/3S7Mlsy ▶ Marriage of Heaven and Hell – William Blake https://amzn.to/3Qpclyj ▶ The Essential Sermons & more – Meister Eckhart https://amzn.to/45D2rgP ▶ Duino Elegies – Rainer Maria Rilke https://amzn.to/45D21af ▶ The Way of the Dream – M.L. von Franz https://amzn.to/4051Pzo 🎧 Prefer Audiobooks?

    Notes from the Underground: Dostoevsky’s Darkest Mind

    Notes from the Underground is a novel published by Dostoevsky in 1864. It remains as one of the most important works of existentialist literature. In this work Dostoevsky attempts to justify the existence of individual freedom as a necessary part of humankind. The novel consists of two parts. The first one, titled simply “Underground” is told through an unnamed narrator, known as the Underground Man. This part serves as an introduction into the mind of the Underground Man. The second part of the novel is called "Apropos of the Wet Snow”, where he begins to recount his troubled past experiences when he was 24 years old. His inability to interact with other people causes his attempts to form relationships and participate in life to end in disaster and drives him deeper underground. Notes from the Underground launches an attack on all ideologies of social progress which aspire to the elimination of suffering (which cannot be eradicated), solving one problem and directing our nature to become unhappy in other ways. It is a novel against Utilitarianism, Utopianism & Rational Egoism. 📨 Free newsletter: https://eternalisedofficial.com/subscribe ⭐ Support this channel: https://www.patreon.com/eternalised 📺 YouTube Member Perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqos1tl0RntucGGtPXNxkkA/join ☕ Donate a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/eternalised 📘 PayPal https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/eternalisedofficial 🛒 Official Merch: https://eternalised.creator-spring.com 📚 My Personal Library: https://eternalisedofficial.com/library ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📘 The Book ▶ Notes from the Underground (1864) https://amzn.to/2DBRXas 📚 Recommended Reading (High Quality and Best Translations) ▶ Crime and Punishment (1866) https://amzn.to/3h2BIks ▶ The Idiot (1869) https://amzn.to/3bxKFRK ▶ Demons (1872) https://amzn.to/2FexadH ▶ The Brothers Karamazov (1880) https://amzn.to/324Kiem 📚 Other Recommended Reading (High Quality and Best Translations) ▶ The Best Short Stories of Fyodor Dostoevsky: White Nights (1848), An Honest Thief (1848), Notes from the Underground (1864) https://amzn.to/3cNl9dw ▶ A Gentle Creature (1876) and Other Stories: White Nights (1848), The Dream of a Ridiculous Man (1877) https://amzn.to/2R6sHzE ▶ The Gambler (1866) and Other Stories: Bobok (1873), The Dream of a Ridiculous Man (1877), A Christmas Tree and a Wedding (1848), A Nasty Story (1862), A Gentle Creature (1876) https://amzn.to/3wCWeBk ▶ Poor Folk (1846) and Other Stories: The Landlady (1847), Mr. Prokharchin (1846) https://amzn.to/39INaRs 🎧 Prefer Audiobooks?

    The Nightmare of Total Equality - A Warning to The World

    In Harrison Bergeron, Kurt Vonnegut Jr. describes the nightmare of total equality, a society in which equality is finally achieved, but at the cost of freedom and individuality. One’s utopia is another’s dystopia. We’ll be exploring the increasing promotion of equality to the point of it being absurd as a consequence of the “unheard cry for meaning” that plagues modern society. The modern age is characterised by a sense of disorientation of not knowing what to do with one’s life. Nietzsche’s foresaw nihilism as an inevitable consequence of the Death of God, where God is replaced with public opinion, the entertainment culture, and the State. Without objective values, we fall into relativism, making us fall prey to authoritarianism and conformism, as displayed by George Orwell's Animal Farm and 1984. 👑 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/2022/01/10/the-nightmare-of-total-equality/ 📚 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 ▶ The Myth of Sisyphus – Albert Camus https://amzn.to/3jQxA9n ▶ Thus Spoke Zarathustra – Friedrich Nietzsche https://amzn.to/2F89V55 ▶ 1984 - George Orwell https://amzn.to/2PH33gT ▶ Animal Farm - George Orwell https://amzn.to/3thz0RQ 🎧 Prefer Audiobooks?

    How Facing Nothingness Can Transform Your Life

    Nothingness is generally considered to be analogous with death and extinction which every healthy living instinct wants to avoid. Many find the notion of nothingness unfathomable. Japanese philosopher Keiji Nishitani, however, was convinced that the way out of nihilism, that which renders meaningless the meaning of life, could only be reached by gazing into the abyss itself. Nishitani understands human existence as consisting in three fields: consciousness, nihility and emptiness. Nihility is as part of the fabric of reality as Being is, it is relative nothingness, and emptiness is absolute nothingness, where the “absolute negation” as the negation of negation becomes the “great affirmation”. In the openness of śūnyatā realised by nihility overcoming itself, one completely oversteps the confines of self-consciousness and comes to be free of egocentrism, anthropocentrism and even theocentrism, thus allowing ultimate reality to manifest itself in all its fullness. We will be focusing on two important works of Nishitani: The Self-Overcoming of Nihilism and Religion and Nothingness. 👑 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/2022/03/11/nothingness-nishitani/ 📚 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 ▶ Religion and Nothingness https://amzn.to/3ND4IQs ▶ The Self-Overcoming of Nihilism https://amzn.to/3N1JiwG 🎧 Get a 30-day Audible Plus FREE trial (affiliate link): https://amzn.to/332zPzN As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases at no additional cost to you. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎶 Music used 1.

    The Psychology of Astrology

    The Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Carl Jung studied astrology for over 40 years, and was primarily interested in the way astrology could help to explore the psyche. For Jung, astrology represents the sum of all the psychological knowledge of antiquity. The notion of seeing mythic narratives through patterns in the heavens is one of the earliest attempts to link the outer world with the inner world. The well-known Hermetic dictum, “As above, so below,” is key to astrology. It is the idea that man (the microcosm), is influenced by the universe (the macrocosm). That is to say, truths about the nature of the cosmos may be inferred from truths about human nature, and vice versa. At the exact moment of birth, each person receives the typical qualities of the libido or energy which is characteristic of him or her. Time, or the moment understood as a peculiar form of energy, seems to coincide with our psychological condition. For Jung, this leads to a peculiar hypothesis, that our personality does not have to do with the position of the stars, but rather with the qualitative effect of time, also called synchronicity, based on the ancient Stoic concept of cosmic sympathy. 👑 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/2023/11/29/the-psychology-of-astrology/ 📚 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 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 Recommended Reading ▶ C.G.

    How Weakness Became Virtue - Nietzsche on Resentment

    Nietzsche's Genealogy of morals is among his most sustained and cohesive works. It consists of three essays: “Good and Evil, Good and Bad”, “Guilt, Bad Conscience and the Like” and “What is the Meaning of Ascetic Ideals?” In the first essay, Nietzsche sets up a contrast between what he calls “master” morality and “slave morality” and shows how strength and actions have often been replaced by passivity and nihilism as well as that the revolt of slaves in morals begins in the principle of ressentiment. The second essay looks into the origins of guilt and punishment, it shows how the concept of justice was born and how internalisation of this concept led to the development of what people called “the soul”. In the third and final essay, Nietzsche dissects the meaning of ascetic ideals. It is not Nietzsche’s intention to reject slave and master morality, internalised values out of hand or ascetic ideals; his main concern is to show that culture and morality, rather than being eternal verities, are human made. 📨 Free newsletter: https://eternalisedofficial.com/subscribe ⭐ Support this channel: https://www.patreon.com/eternalised 📺 YouTube Member Perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqos1tl0RntucGGtPXNxkkA/join ☕ Donate a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/eternalised 📘 PayPal https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/eternalisedofficial 🛒 Official Merch: https://eternalised.creator-spring.com 📚 My Personal Library: https://eternalisedofficial.com/library ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📘 The Book ▶ On the Genealogy of Morals (1887) https://amzn.to/3jj0izq 📚 Other Recommended Reading (High Quality and Best Translations) ▶ The Birth of Tragedy (1872) https://amzn.to/3uohsRi ▶ Human, All Too Human (1878) https://amzn.to/2PDOmP7 ▶ The Dawn of Day (1881) https://amzn.to/3dyAE87 ▶ The Gay Science (1882) https://amzn.to/36rijIf ▶ Thus Spoke Zarathustra (1883) https://amzn.to/2F89V55 ▶ Beyond Good and Evil (1886) https://amzn.to/2DDjLLL ▶ Twilight of the Idols or How to Philosophise with a Hammer and The Antichrist (1888) https://amzn.to/2Ol1Miq ▶ Ecce Homo (1888) https://amzn.to/39L9j1E 🎧 Prefer Audiobooks?

    The Psychology of Numbers

    Numbers do not merely have a quantitative nature, but also a qualitative one (for Pythagoras they were divine). Numbers have life, they are not just symbols on paper. Several philosophers, alchemists and mystics throughout history have associated religious or mystical ideas to numbers. In ancient times, people associated mystical meaning to words and names based on their numerical value, which became the basis for 20th century numerology that seeks to understand personality through numbers. Carl Jung describes number as the most primitive archetype (the archetype of order), which provides a vital link between matter and psyche (united by the unus mundus). Psychologically, the most primitive numbers are 1 to 4, which form the basis for all the rest of the numbers, and as such it is not surprising that they are the most recurring ones in the psyche. These remarkably symbolise the human creation myth and the purpose of life. To paraphrase Pythagoras, “Number rules the universe.” 👑 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/2024/01/11/the-psychology-of-numbers/ 📚 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 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 Recommended Reading ▶ The Theology of Arithmetic - Iamblichus https://amzn.to/48GIqYI ▶ Number and Time: Reflections Leading Toward a Unification of Depth Psychology and Physics – M.L. von Franz https://amzn.to/4aKT4Q4 ▶ The Three Books of Occult Philosophy: Book II - Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa https://amzn.to/41KANy0 🎧 Prefer Audiobooks?

    NIETZSCHE: Living in Solitude and Dealing with Society

    Nietzsche recommends to spend some of our time in complete solitude. To reflect upon the inner voice that conditions our life which is the product of the common conscience of society. Solitude is but a temporary matter. He also recommends to spend time with people who possess virtues of the love of life, these “higher men” allow for mental elevation. An individual who isolates himself without ever valuing external opinions will only have his conscience with himself and nobody to ever confront or challenge his views. Solitude is thus not just a result of the contempt of the masses, but allows to forge a more profound longing for a community that allows one to explore the best version of oneself. Company is important, and if chosen well – can be mutually beneficial. In this sense, solitude is compatible with life in community, but it is also necessary to retreat into complete solitude once in a while, in order to receive its fruits. 👑 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/2021/08/21/nietzsche-living-in-solitude-and-dealing-with-society/ 📚 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 ▶ The Birth of Tragedy (1872) https://amzn.to/3uohsRi ▶ Human, All Too Human (1878) https://amzn.to/2PDOmP7 ▶ The Dawn of Day (1881) https://amzn.to/3dyAE87 ▶ The Gay Science (1882) https://amzn.to/36rijIf ▶ Thus Spoke Zarathustra (1883) https://amzn.to/2F89V55 ▶ Beyond Good and Evil (1886) https://amzn.to/2DDjLLL ▶ On the Genealogy of Morals (1887) https://amzn.to/3jj0izq ▶ Ecce Homo (1888) https://amzn.to/39L9j1E 🎧 Prefer Audiobooks?

    The Psychology of The Magician

    The Magician is the most mysterious and fascinating of all archetypes. He is a person who has gained access to esoteric or occult (hidden) knowledge, bringing the spiritual to the material. Thus, he is an initiate of secret and hidden knowledge of all kinds. As the Emerald Tablet teaches us, “As above, so below, and as below, so above, to accomplish the marvels of the One work.” The Magician is often the mentor or guide to his people, and even to the king. Psychologically, the Magician is the archetype of transformation, transforming old realities into new ones. He is the archetype of self-realisation par excellence. The Magician aids us in our lifelong task of attaining a higher level of consciousness, and of recognising that higher power which is greater than ourselves. 👑 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/2024/02/18/the-psychology-of-the-magician/ 📚 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 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 Recommended Reading ▶ Awakening the Heroes Within - Carol S.

    Dostoevsky's Raskolnikov VS Nietzsche's Ubermensch

    This video explores Dostoevsky's Raskolnikov presented in Crime and Punishment and Nietzsche's concept of the Ubermensch. Raskolnikov’s pride separates him from society, he sees himself as a sort of “higher man”, indeed an ubermensch, a person who is extraordinary and thus above all moral rules that govern the rest of humanity, and so he cannot relate to anyone of the ordinary people "the herd", who must live in obedience and do not have the right to overstep the law. Although it is almost sure that Dostoevsky, who died in 1881, had never even heard the name of Nietzsche. Nietzsche on the other hand, not only knew some of Dostoevsky’s principal works, but actually acknowledged that he regarded him as the only psychologist from whom he had anything to learn. Nietzsche and Dostoevsky together both had strikingly similar themes, both were haunted by central questions surrounding the human existence, especially ones concerning God. They were both keen questioners and doubters. Both were “underworld minds” unable to come to terms either with other people or with the conditions they saw around them and both of them desperately wanted to create truth. 👑 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/2020/12/04/dostoevsky-and-nietzsche/ 📚 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 Nietzsche ▶ The Birth of Tragedy (1872) https://amzn.to/3uohsRi ▶ Human, All Too Human (1878) https://amzn.to/2PDOmP7 ▶ The Dawn of Day (1881) https://amzn.to/3dyAE87 ▶ The Gay Science (1882) https://amzn.to/36rijIf ▶ Thus Spoke Zarathustra (1883) https://amzn.to/2F89V55 ▶ Beyond Good and Evil (1886) https://amzn.to/2DDjLLL ▶ On the Genealogy of Morals (1887) https://amzn.to/3jj0izq ▶ Twilight of the Idols or How to Philosophise with a Hammer and The Antichrist (1888) https://amzn.to/2Ol1Miq ▶ Ecce Homo (1888) https://amzn.to/39L9j1E Dostoevsky ▶ Notes from the Underground (1864) https://amzn.to/2DBRXas ▶ Crime and Punishment (1866) https://amzn.to/3h2BIks ▶ The Idiot (1869) https://amzn.to/3bxKFRK ▶ Demons (1872) https://amzn.to/2FexadH ▶ The Brothers Karamazov (1880) https://amzn.to/324Kiem 🎧 Prefer Audiobooks?

    Becoming Who You Truly Are (Self-Realisation)

    What is the meaning of self-realisation? Becoming who you truly are. Life is a journey of self-realisation, of understanding and discovering who we truly are, and of maximising our potential. While this might be a life long journey, one can be closer or further from one's true self. This video analyses self-realisation from a philosophical and psychological perspective. Starting from the father of existentialism, Søren Kierkegaard, where we’ll discuss the self, despair and the leap of faith. Sigmund Freud as the father of psychoanalysis, Carl Rogers’ self-concept and Abraham Maslow’s self-actualisation. We’ll then discuss some aspects of eastern philosophy and their notion of self (Buddhism, Taoism, Advaita Vedanta), concluding with Carl Jung’s analytical psychology and process of individuation. 👑 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/2021/09/10/the-meaning-of-self-realisation/ 📚 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 ▶ The Sickness unto Death - Kierkegaard https://amzn.to/3j8oLrd ▶ A Theory of Human Motivation - Maslow https://amzn.to/2WYNo3n ▶ On Becoming a Person - Rogers https://amzn.to/3C2nOtH ▶ Tao Te Ching – Taoism https://amzn.to/3nhVNdb ▶ Man and His Symbols - Jung https://amzn.to/3lYyz94 ▶ Memories, Dreams, Reflections – Jung https://amzn.to/3dAcD0z ▶ Modern Man In Search of a Soul – Jung https://amzn.to/2G3mhw7 🎧 Prefer Audiobooks?

    The Psychology of The Villain

    The villain is the most captivating and intriguing of all archetypes. The hero would not exist without his darker counterpart, which reflects aspects of ourselves that we do not dare to acknowledge or confront, but which are present within all of us. The villain is often a mirror of the dark aspects of humanity, embodying qualities that are evil, harmful, greedy, selfish, and destructive. In recent times, villains can even become sympathetic, and possess redeeming qualities, making some of them oddly likeable despite their malicious intent and immoral actions, thus challenging our traditional notions of good and evil. This type of villain has never existed to the degree it exists in the 21st century, symbolising a major change in the collective unconscious—which speaks to a psychological experience that is common to us all. 👑 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/2024/03/26/the-psychology-of-the-villain/ 📚 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 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 Recommended Reading ▶ Frankenstein https://amzn.to/3IJV8uI ▶ Paradise Lost https://amzn.to/4csSmb1 ▶ Crime and Punishment https://amzn.to/3TJJqXa ▶ Batman: The Killing Joke https://amzn.to/4ao73dk ▶ Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde https://amzn.to/3ILIBXF ▶ A Wizard of Earthsea https://amzn.to/3ILPhFa ▶ The Prince https://amzn.to/4a7WNXe 🎧 Prefer Audiobooks?

    The Philosophy of Laughter - Nietzsche

    Nietzsche frequently laughs and he especially recommends laughing at oneself. He does not speak of just any laugh, but of a laugh that comes from the depths of man. It is from that depth that one must learn to laugh the superhuman laugh. This laughter arises from the state of anguish and suffering. This is Nietzsche's answer to the absurdity of life and the comedy of existence. Indeed, comedy must be included within the very art that Nietzsche proclaims is: “the highest task and the true metaphysical activity of this life.” Perhaps best expressed in his masterpiece Thus Spoke Zarathustra, where the prophet Zarathustra, talks about the “laughter of the herd” and the “laughter of the height”. Other books worthy of mention are: The Gay Science, Beyond Good and Evil and The Will to Power.

    How Dreams Can Anticipate Death and Point to the Afterlife

    Death is one of the greatest mysteries of human existence, the inevitable fate that unites us all. Whenever man is confronted with something mysterious and unknown such as the origin of the world, death, the afterlife, etc., the unconscious produces symbolic representations. In her groundbreaking book, On Dreams and Death, Jungian analyst Marie-Louise von Franz writes about death dreams, that is, dreams of people who subsequently died. Therefore, they are of a precognitive nature, as they can anticipate the death of someone. In death dreams, the end of physical life is represented in a symbolic way, but almost always accompanied by manifestations that allude to the continuation of the person’s life. “It is in fact true, as Jung has emphasised, that the unconscious psyche pays very little attention to the abrupt end of bodily life and behaves as if the psychic life of the individual, that is, the individuation process, will simple continue… The unconscious “believes” quite obviously in a life after death.” - Marie-Louise von Franz 👑 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/2024/05/02/the-psychology-of-death-dreams/ 📚 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 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 Recommended Reading ▶ On Death and Dreams - M.L. von Franz https://amzn.to/4dfmQgO ▶ Ego and Archetype - Edward Edinger https://amzn.to/44kVYbu ▶ Memories, Dreams, Reflections - Carl Jung https://amzn.to/3waQbIJ ▶ Life after Life - Raymond Moody https://amzn.to/4b45hyy 🎧 Prefer Audiobooks?

    The Absurd Explained: Camus, Kierkegaard, and Dostoevsky

    This video explores the concept of The Absurd of Camus, Kierkegaard, and Dostoevsky as well as the differences between these three existentialists. The Absurd is the conflict between the human tendency to seek inherent value and meaning in life, and the human inability to find any meaning in a purposeless, meaningless, and irrational universe, with the ‘unreasonable silence’ of the universe in response. Camus contributed to the rise of the philosophy known as Absurdism. Most famously expressed in The Myth of Sisyphus. Sisyphus is the ultimate Absurd Man, a man condemned by the gods to a lifetime of rolling a boulder up a hill, only to reach the top of the hill and have the boulder inevitably roll back down to the bottom for him to start all over again. Camus argued against the “leap of faith” of Kierkegaard and Dostoevsky considering it as “philosophical suicide”. His response to the absurd is to revolt, which he considers as the only coherent philosophical position. 👑 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/2020/11/20/the-absurd/ 📚 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 ▶ Myth of Sisyphus - Camus https://amzn.to/36bTIFR ▶ Sickness unto Death - Kierkegaard https://amzn.to/3jMgzfT ▶ Demons - Dostoevsky https://amzn.to/3kTOl3W ▶ Brothers Karamazov - Dostoevsky https://amzn.to/3kLC7ue 🎧 Prefer Audiobooks?

    The Psychology of The Paranormal - Carl Jung

    Since early childhood, Carl Jung experienced paranormal phenomena, that is, phenomena that are beyond the scope of scientific understanding. They were virtually commonplace in Jung’s family. Jung’s personal experiences with the paranormal would set him on a quest to find an explanation of these events with his theory of analytical psychology, as well as sparking his interest in parapsychology, the study of psychic or paranormal phenomena, especially regarding extrasensory perception or ESP (precognition, clairvoyance, telepathy, intuition, etc). Jung attended séances which formed the basis of his doctoral dissertation published in 1902, entitled On the Psychology and Pathology of So-Called Occult Phenomena. Jung admits that his period of the séances with his medium cousin contained the origin of all his ideas. He had discovered some objective facts about the human psyche. From then on, Jung got his first glimpse of the fact that there was another world (the unconscious) which had a life of its own quite apart from the life of consciousness. 👑 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/2024/06/05/the-psychology-of-the-paranormal-carl-jung 📚 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 ▶ Memories, Dreams, Reflections - Carl Jung https://amzn.to/3waQbIJ ▶ Reflections on the Life and Dreams of C.G.

    Inner Gold - Alchemy and Psychology

    Alchemy occupies a unique place in the collective psyche of humankind. Swiss psychiatrist and psychologist Jung discovered alchemy and devoted the remaining 30 years of his life to studying it, which he practically dug up from the dunghill of the past, for it was considered pseudoscience, a forgotten relic of history and despised field of investigation which he had suddenly revived. Alchemy allows one to achieve wholeness through a reconnection with the unconscious. For Jung, the task of alchemy was and has always been psychological. The end product is not material in nature, but rather spiritual. Alchemy is the art of expanding consciousness, of self-realisation. 👑 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/2022/07/30/alchemy-and-psychology/ 📚 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 ▶ Jung and the Alchemical Imagination – Jeffrey Raff https://amzn.to/3oN6zYp ▶ Anatomy of the Psyche: Alchemical Symbolism in Psychotherapy – Edward Edinger https://amzn.to/3Sft4D6 ▶ Alchemy: An Introduction to the Symbolism and the Psychology – Marie-Louise von Franz https://amzn.to/3biinyU ▶ Psychology and Alchemy: Collected Works Vol.12 – Carl Jung https://amzn.to/3zLvWAu 🎧 Prefer Audiobooks?
