“The functions are vehicles for the forces, or influences, or activities, which emanate from those two principles, those two gods, Logos and Eros. And perhaps you can also understand that if there were no principles whatever outside of the functions, one could never hope to detach anything form the unconscious. There must be something which helps one to detach a function, some principle outside which allows one to tear it away from the original lump of unconsciousness.”

There are few things in the psychology of Jung that are as fundamental as the opposites of Eros and Logos and how they share and form every aspect of our psyche up to the point that they can determine the basis of our whole psychology and worldview.

“The inferior function contains the priceless treasure of life force and therefore it is so important to bring it up. It is not for vulgar or criminal purposes, for the sake of its evil, that I try to bring out the swine or the criminal in people-whatever kindly critics may think.” - C.G. Jung

For Jung our dark and hidden parts are the gate to personal development. The most immediate path we have is our inferior function with which we can pull up the complete unconscious from our psyche. In this event we will explore this function and why inferior doesn’t mean lesser.

“The appearance of an archetype in our psychology is always a moment of the greatest danger as well as the greatest hope.” C.G. Jung

There are patterns deep inside the human psyche that are older than humans. They were experienced and codified by past cultures as mythology, stories and religion. These patterns of behavior are described by Jung as archetypes. Join this event to learn more about the foundation of the collective unconscious.

„Therefore, I have concluded that every effort should be made to find at least one way that enables people to endure the inevitable suffering that is the lot of every human existence. If someone manages to endure suffering at all, they have already accomplished an almost superhuman task.“ - C.G. Jung

Is it possible to make a Self-Help guide based on the ideas of Carl Jung? Let’s try. This will be my attempt to answer one of the most asked question during the events: How to implement Jungian ideas into every day life.

„Dancing is always connected with creation. Shiva dances the origin and the destruction of the world. The birth of the dancing star out of chaos is a symbol of creation.“ - C.G. Jung

In my investigations into the concepts and ideas of the Swiss psychologist Carl Jung I stumble upon topics that are so obscure that I need to talk about them. This time: Dancing, which is of full of symbolic significance and we will use this event to talk more about it.

„As soon as you see your own shadow and admit that you are not perfect, you cannot identify yourself with the “Great Wise man” and create a Puer Aternus with your anima“ - C.G. Jung

The topic of Shadow is one of the most widely known and often misunderstood concepts. In this event I want to explore an angle of understanding Jung’s concept of Shadow that I haven’t seen before. So join me for an investigation that you won’t find anywhere else.

„The inner voice makes us conscious of the evil from which the whole community is suffering, whether it be the nation or the whole human race.“ - C.G. Jung

The list of influences on the 1999 movie hit The Matrix is extensive. Incomprehensibly extensive. From cyberpunk to anime over comic books and philosophy, we will explore motives and concepts that fall very well into line of Jungian psychology.

„The Tarot in itself is an attempt at representing the constituents of the flow of the unconscious, and therefore it is applicable for an intuitive method that has the purpose of understanding the flow of life, possibly even predicting future events, at all events lending itself to the reading of the conditions of the present moment.” C.G. Jung

There are multiple ways how to engage with the unconscious, how to access the psychic structure of reality. One of those ways is Tarot, a card game rich in symbolic language that describes psychological journeys through different aspects of life. In this event we will explore how Jungian psychology fits into 78 cards.

“After all, miracles no longer happen in our world, and we think that something should happen now to provide an answer or a way out. And now these UFOs appear in the sky.” C.G. Jung

What comes after all the ghosts and devils left nature and the divine was banished from its holy places? According to Jung, people started to notice lights in the sky. As always in the psyche, things are not gone, they just manifest somewhere new.

“All our split-off parts return, all the people we meet in life who have a fascination influence upon us are really split-off parts of ourselves, things we have repressed which are brought back by other people, and that is the great value and the great danger and difficulty of human relationship.” - C.G. Jung

Who we meet and befriend is not random, it follows a deep psychological drive that is likely completely unknown to us. There is something there that could lead to a transformation of our whole personality.

“In the symbol of the dying and resurrecting god, man expressed a psychological phenomenon into which he projected himself at a time when, emotionally, he was still identical with nature. But through development he became aware that it was not the spring outside, it was the spring or the vanishing of spring in himself which concerned him.” C.G. Jung

The beginning is the end. On death follows rebirth.

“Comparing modern psychology with modern physics is not just empty talk. Despite their diametrically opposed fields, both disciplines have one highly significant point in common: both approach the previously “transcendental” sphere of the invisible and untouchable, the world of pure analogical thinking.” - C.G. Jung

Jung’s relationship to physics is more profound that most people know. Starting with his friendship with the world famous physicists Albert Einstein and Wolfgang Pauli to his mythological insights into the psychological significance of numbers.

“Completeness belongs to the nature of your best effort; it must contain the irrational as well as the rational, the unconscious as well as the conscious attempt. Therefore magic means are often exceedingly grotesque. Think of the magic medicine of the Middle Ages, for instance, or the secrets of the alchemical kitchen, or the contents of magic amulets-like the ground-up bones of a bat-it all seems the sheerest nonsense, but that simply proves the sincerity of the effort. And the means are legitimate inasmuch as they represent acknowledgment of assistance from the other side.” - C.G. Jung

The world is more than we see and understand, to allow in things that might not fit or seem confusing is the other side of the coin. Jung made this experience at his midpoint in life and what started by him building castles of sand, just as he did as a child, led to him changing the field of psychology.

“An anima relationship is never a normal relationship, but always something fantastical. A man sees his female face in the anima, and that is dangerous; the anima transforms everything it touches. Wherever it is active, it visualizes one’s own image, a man’s own image, and this is his female being, an invisible minority that he carries inside himself.” C.G. Jung

A man’s drive comes from a deep place and can wreak havoc on him and his surroundings when he can not keep it in check. The 1983 movie Scarface tells the story of such a man and his downfall.

„Man’s effort to achieve wholeness correspond, as the divine myth shows, to a voluntary sacrifice of the self to the bondage of earthly existence.“ C.G. Jung

Given his surname, Jung (young) saw it as ironic that he was engrossed by transformation and rebirth in his investigations, same as the Freud (joy) was so focused on sexuality. But to be reborn, something needs to die first.

“Eros without the Logos inside never understands, there is nothing but blind relatedness. Such people can be related to God knows what - like certain woman who are dissolved completely in little happy families - cousins, relations - and there is nothing in the whole damned thing, it is all perfectly empty.” C.G. Jung

Who could have thought that breakfast eggs could be of such psychological significance? This romantic comedy allows a peak into the inner workings of what Jung called the relationship function: Eros

“Nobody will ever become conscious if he does not hit his head on something.” - C.G. Jung

Consciousness act as the center point for Jung’s model of the psyche, as something so important that everything else that exists needs to be put into reference to it: The unconscious, the things that are not in consciousness. What it is, how it works and what’s its purpose is will all be part of this event.

“This is the stuff that drives people crazy, because they can’t catch themselves anymore; they can no longer control themselves when they have that animal psychology. It means they are driven by instinct. They see a thing and leap for it. That is the condition of schizophrenia, for all those things appear also in cases of insanity; they are dynamite that can easily explode in the human mind.” - C.G. Jung

The 2000 movie is an interesting case study of a slow descent into madness, but what would Jung say about it?

“Ladies and gentleman, considering that your seat, this room, this lightening, our entire culture are nothing other than products of human fantasy, then you cannot overlook this. There is nothing man-made known to you that is not fantasy. Fantasy is the alpha and the omega of psychic life. Fantasy is the greatest danger of all. Do you believe that a landslide or an earthquake is as dangerous as human fantasy? Well, you haven’t the faintest idea! Fantasy is catastrophe.” - C.G. Jung

Jung saw Fantasy as a fundamental phenomenon of the psyche. As something that can guide us, but also distract us. How we engage or ignore fantasies determines our development and our journey.

„Real is, what has an effect“ - C.G. Jung

Jung‘s approach to therapy followed a basic principle: To meet the patient where they are. Reality is something incredibly subjective that can shape and transform just as we do.

„Although we human beings have our own personal life, we are yet in large measure the representatives, the victims and promoters of a collective spirit whose years are counted in centuries. We can well think all our lives long that we are following our own noses, and may never discover that we are, for the most part, supernumeraries on the stage of the world theater.“ - C.G. Jung

There is something deep in the psyche of humans, something that shapes and forms cultures and ages. Jung investigated the unconscious his whole life to hit something that is the foundation of centuries and millennia of human progress. And it was all visible in the sky long before anyone could see the connection.

„This means not only bringing the conflict to consciousness; it also involves an experience of a special kind, namely, the recognition of an alien ‚other‘ in oneself, of the objective presence of another will.“ - C.G. Jung

Shadow, Anima, Animus, Mercurius. Jung talks often about the figures of the unconscious that one encounters in one‘s life. We are not alone in our home and even though they all look and are different, are the all and the same in the end?

“Even on the primitive level man feels an irresistible need actually to invent secrets: their possession safeguards him from dissolving in the featureless flow of unconscious community life and thus from deadly peril to his soul.” - C.G. Jung

As we dive deeper into the hidden corners of Jung’s ideas about the psyche, we encounter one concept that seem innocuous but hugely influential under the right circumstances: The secret. Join to shed some light on it.

“Pretty much everything that currently moves the subject's soul is expressed in the associations.” - C.G. Jung

Within associations Jung saw the elemental structure of consciousness and the reason for dreams and fantasies. With every call, something in the psyche answered, but was it the patient themselves or something else? Jung investigated that and created his academic career that brought him to the attention of one of the leading figures of psychology of the time: Sigmund Freud. Join to learn about this fundamental part of analytical psychology.

“The child lives in a pre-rational and above all in a pre-scientific world, the world of the men who existed before us.” C.G. Jung

In the broad public little is known about Jung and his contributions to developmental psychology, the emerging psychology of children. Jung studied families and their ties and saw a unique opportunity in children to gaze into the depth of our psychology and in the past of human beings. Join us to learn more.

“You get the feeling that your life make sense the moment it touches nature again. Therefore whenever you have a chance to return to nature, you feel better; at least to a small extent you return to the “mother.” Instinctively your life becomes corrected; it gets the right balance.” - C.G. Jung

We are of nature but at the same time removed from it. Jung had pretty clear ideas what the relationship between humans and nature is and is supposed to be. Join this event to learn more about the phenomena that nature is not only around us but also within us.

„I told nobody that I intended to work out the unconscious phenomena of the psychoses, but that was my determination. I wanted to catch the intruders in the mind - the intruders that make people laugh when they should not laugh, and cry when they should not cry.“ - C.G.Jung

Forgetting, a slip of tongue, accidents. All the kinds of phenomena can origin, according to the psychoanalytic school of thought, from a complex in the unconscious. Join this event to find out more about these „intruders of the mind“, how they behave, how they can be measured through the association experiment and how they can become pathological.

“I had accustomed myself to living always on two planes simultaneously, one consciousness, which attempted to understand and could not, and one unconscious, which wanted to express something and could not formulate it any better than by a dream” - C.G. Jung

This event will be about the basic premises and threads that pop up when Jung is drawn towards a phenomenon or reaches a conclusion. Commonalities between his ideas that creates a strong footing to say that an idea is Jungian, even when that idea might not necessarily be from Jung himself. Join to find out and discuss.

“If the conscious attitude is too infantile, too immature, an old woman appears as a compensating figure. And the old wise man always appears when one is too foolish. Then the moment one becomes mature and reasonable in one's attitude, infantile figures turn up in the dreams, the puer aeternus motif, for instance. You see, when one is old in one's consciousness, perhaps too reasonable, too adapted, too considerate, then one's soul is young, it is a child even, because one needs childlikeness in order not to dry up and suffocate in one's own wonderful adaptation.” - C.G. Jung

The Puer Aeternus, or also the eternal child, is a psychological phenomenon that pop up in dreams of individuals or even shape the psychology of whole cultures. As everything in Jung’s psychology it can have a positive and a negative side. To find out more, join the event and meet this unique character of the psyche.

“So the worst trap is the body. We have all been taught that our minds and other virtues are wings we put on, so we get to flying about above ourselves, and we live as if the body did not exist. This happens often with intuitives, with everybody in fact. The body appears to us as a most serious obstacle.” - C.G.Jung

The discovery of the body and the bodily is for Jung one of the main tasks of the modern mind. While the mind can fantasies about all the possibilities in the world, the body binds it to the here and now, which can create friction and serious trouble for the individual. Join the even to find out more about how the psyche is not necessarily limited to what is inside the head.

“You see to what a huge extent the East honors consciousness as the light benevolently supporting man in the terrible darkness surrounding epitome of evil. All evil comes from ignorance. All evil, the entire sum of life, comes from not knowing. You will find this doctrine in the original words of the Buddha. For whoever is in the the state of consciousness behaves like an automaton. He has no ethic.” C.G. Jung

When we talk about the shadow, very often the topic of evil comes up. This lead to a very lively discussion during the even “Shadow & Projection”. I want to follow up, what evil is for Jung. Where it comes from and what purpose it does serve.

“Through our senses we experience the known, but our intuitions point to things that are unknown and hidden, that by their very nature are secret.” C.G. Jung

For Jung, there exist many pathways how experiences can reach our consciousness. The most mysterious being intuition, which is, as he says, “perception through the unconscious,” seeing the possibilities of things, even more so then the thing itself. Join to find out more about this special function and what life is to someone, for whom intuition is their superior function.

“As a rule, people who have a certain maturity, who are philosophically inclined, more or less successful in the world and not too neurotic share my views.” - C.G. Jung

In my journey to read and understand everything from Jung, there are still some concepts that I have a hard time to wrap my head around. I am feeling that has to do with inconsistencies in some concepts and I will try to explore those in this event. Join me in this investigation.

“The idea in the dream is that something has happened, a new worm has suddenly appeared, the worm which seemed to be a terrific danger; yet we saw that it also has a very positive meaning, the beginning of higher consciousness. That is why so many people are afraid of higher consciousness. For it bears a greater responsibility and danger.” - C.G. Jung

“Man against nature” is one of the archetypal stories that humanity has. While the Steven Spielberg movie “Jaws” from 1975 seems to be just like that, there is an additional, psychological layer there that could have contributed to the massive success that resulted in the birth of the term “Blockbuster”. Join the event to find out more.

“As we know, a complex can be really overcome really only if it is lived out to the full. In other words, if we are to develop further we have to draw to us and drink down to the very dregs what, because of our complexes, we have held at a distance.” - C.G. Jung

Even during all his tumultuous life and shifts in scientific interests, Jung stayed a therapists and treated patients. With his contributions to psychoanalysis and the founding of the school of analytical psychology he established certain ideas and corner stones of therapy and therapists. This event will deal with there topics.

“It is not possible to live too long amid infantile surroundings, or in the bosom of the family, without endangering one’s psychic health. Life calls forth to independence, and anyone who does not head this call because of childish laziness or timidity is threatened with neurosis.” C.G. Jung

What do you get when you combine romance and spectacle? One of the most successful movies of all time and a great display of the individuation process of a trapped woman. Viewed through a Jungian lens, one can observe the positive encounter with her animus, finding life and fighting for it.Caution: There will be tons of spoilers. I recommend watching the movie before the event.

“The smaller the personality, the dimmer and more unconscious it becomes, until finally it merges indistinguishable with the surrounding society, thus surrendering its own wholeness and dissolving into the wholeness of the group. In the place of the inner voice there is the voice of the group with its conventions, and vocation is replaced by collective necessities” C.G. Jung

Jung deals a lot with the internal world, our psychology, but he also wrote extensively about the social world and our role in it. Join to find out what happens when individuals come together to melt into something we call “the group”.

“Everything unknown and empty is filled with psychological projection: it is as if the investigator’s own psychic background were mirrored in the darkness. What he sees in matter, or thinks he can see, is chiefly the data of his own unconscious which he is projecting into it.” C.G. Jung

Jung and his ideas were already hard to understand in his time and while the concepts of psycho analysis found a strong footing in modern discourse and culture, getting an unobstructed view on Jung and his work is still difficult. One of my motivations for starting the C.G. Jung Helpdesk was to provide the clearest view possible, which sadly also includes challenging the notions and interpretations that people already have. So this is what this event will be about, drawing a line between what Jung said and those after him thought to understand.

“Once the unconscious gets into active opposition to consciousness, it simply refused to be suppressed.” C.G. Jung

While failing at the box-office when it was released, David Fincher’s “Fight Club”, based on the 1996 novel of the same name by Chuck Palahniuk, became a hit and cultural phenomenon on home video. Viewed through a Jungian lens, there is a lot to explore and there is still something to add to the countless interpretations about its meaning.Caution: There will be tons of spoilers. I recommend watching the movie before the event.

“There, in the East, is the metaphysical philosophy, and that is what we call psychology” C.G. Jung

While the march of modernity made cultures seem more and more homogenised, was Jung in his time still able to see and perceive cultures in their more unique expression. Deeply concerned with the decay of European civilisation during both world wars, he spent much time investigating the roots of western civilisation and with his investigations into eastern philosophy trying to found out more about human nature.

“Freud’s only interest is where things come from, never where they are going.” C.G. Jung“Freud's original idea of the unconscious was that it was a sort of receptacle or storehouse for repressed material, infantile wishes, and the like. But the unconscious is far more than that: it is the basis and precondition of all consciousness.” C.G. Jung

Nothing stings harsher than deceit and deceived Freud felt after the friendship with Jung ended. Jung sacrificed his academic career and his reputation to pursue what he felt was his true calling; and made him to the person that we know today.

“Statements by men on the subject of female psychology suffer principally form the fact that the projection of unconscious femininity is always strongest where critical judgment is most needed, that is, where a man is involved emotionally” C.G. Jung

Here I want to try something new and move away from only using material directly from Jung to talk about one of the most surprising (and successful) movies of the year: Barbie. Looking through a Jungian lens there are many different facets to explore and to utilise to explain concepts and ideas of analytical psychology. Caution: There will be tons of spoilers. I recommend watching the movie before the podcast.

“At first, the Self is always something simple, something little, or cheap. It turns out, however, that it’s the king or even the savior. It is the crown, the phoenix, the saint, the savior, even the deity. It is the center toward which everything is oriented” C.G. Jung

Life moves in circles, but what is in the center? Jung saw a fixed point in the psyche that one revolves around closing in more and more with time. Is there something like an invisible hand guiding one’s actions and thoughts? Join to find out more!

“The shadow is on the one side regrettable and reprehensible weakness, on the other side healthy instinctivity and the prerequisite for higher consciousness.” C.G. Jung

There is a hidden side to everything, but sometimes what is hidden from our sight is the most obvious to other people. While the shadow is always right next to us we tend to find it the fastest at other people. Join to find out more about one of the most famous concepts of Jung and why evil always seems to be on the other side of the Rhine.

“When somebody has an archetypal experience, he gets one hell of an inflation and is inebriated by power. That's also the reason why Nietzsche was a megalomanic.” C.G. Jung

While we think to be always the master of our thoughts and actions, there are other forces lingering in the background, gripping people and pushing them along. Being driven does not need to mean to be in the driver’s seat.

“It is the goal of individuation to reach the sense of the continuation of one’s life through the ages. It gives one a feeling of eternity on this earth.” C.G. Jung

Join to find out what’s happening in the psyche as it grows, even though the body decay. How much free will is possible when the world within, the world without, the personal and collective all come together in the individual in the eternal struggle of becoming one’s Self.

“Considered form the standpoint of realism, the symbol is of course not an external truth, but it is psychologically true, for it was and is the bridge to all that is best in humanity.” C.G. Jung

Bridging the opposites, connecting them through a common ground, this is the beginning of a symbol. They can be for one’s moment, one’s life or even for all humankind. Join to learn more about the thing between consciousness and the unconscious: The Third

“When someone is able to perform the art of touch on the archetypal, he can play on the souls of People like on the strings of a piano.” C.G. Jung

Everything that is created and endures through time is for Jung a manifestation of our collective unconscious. The layer of our psyche that connects all human beings, through space and time. The people who can access this layer and bring forth its fruits we call artists and if they can foresee the ebbs and flows of mass psychology, we call them prophets. Join for a unique view on what creates culture and what culture creates in us.

“Two people see the same object, but they never see it in such a way that the images they receive are absolutely identical” - C.G. Jung

For Jung, everything we experience is filtered through our psyche. What we experience is all but objective and it can tell us so much about ourselves. This event will deal with this topic and what it means to be subjective as an subject.
