Jung's Analytical Psychology Overview

Okay, let's start. We'll be discussing analytical psychology again, part 3 of our lesson. Jung has a lot of concepts and we have to go over it. And this time we will be talking about the dynamics of personality. So more on the movement. So if the first one is about structures, if Freud has an ego, super ego, and see young yung first two meetings natin, yun yung structure of personality niya. So very comprehensive, very complex. So now we will talk about the dynamics naman. Kung paano yung mga movement within that movement ng mga mechanics na yun. Okay, so skip na natin to. Dahil na-discuss na natin. Personal and conscious, ang haba, grabe, ang dami natin. archetypes. Okay, so, ayan. So, dito na tayo sa dynamics of personality. So, yun nga, we've talked about the structure from conscious to unconscious, personal and conscious and collective and conscious. So, how does that work? How does that, how does that conscious, yung personality types, yung mga komplekses yung mga archetypes works panabasha panobana panobo panogumagana subversive Latin and some power you my own according to you so first first dynamics napagusa panathen would be on causality and teleology if you remember this is this is a concept of humanity concede Freud is pinagusa panathen Rebecca Freud Sabina behavior doing is on Tao is based on past experiences which is causality And then, for Adler, teleology means our future plans or goals affects our personality. Now, for Jung, he said, why not both? He said, part of our personality is explained by our past behaviors and part of our personality is explained by our future projects or future goals. But there are some points in our life wherein it's more teleological and there are some points in our life that it's more causality. Of course, if you're just giving birth, there's no causality in that. Basically, your causality is just giving birth. So it will not really explain your behavior. So logically speaking, as Jung said, at first stages of our lives, we are more teleological. we are more towards a goal. And then later in life, when we are more of a reflective mode na, we are more on causality na. Kasi there is a past that will explain your present behavior. As opposed naman dito sa kapapanganak mo lang, wala ka pong past na mag-explain ang behavior mo. So he has a point there. Yung life, throughout our life, may causality. May point na causality lang, may point na... teleological or there's a point that one is bigger than the other. Again, theme of duality in Jung's case. So Jung said in the first part of our lives, in the first phase of our lives, we are more towards progression, teleological, we are going out. So progression means progression is to progress to become from level zero to level one two three so progression adaptation to the outside world in that involves forward flow of psychic energy so papunta move on forward for future psychic energy so progression inclines a person to react uh consistently to a given set of environmental conditions we usually progress from the moment we were born from being unconscious to becoming more conscious about our external world as we grow old. So sa progression from unconscious, papunta tayo sa conscious. Okay, so when we were born, of course, kung unconscious tayo, we are not aware of our lives, kaya wala tayong naalala about it. May infantile amnesia tayo. Nagkakaroon lang tayo ng idea, I guess, mga four years old. Doon nag-uumpisa yung mga memories natin, four years old. But according kay Jung, yung mga memories na yun, those are just conscious memories. Because we are going there but the majority of our childhood is unconscious which we will talk about later. about development of personality. So progression peaks at midlife and from there on, people usually regress. So from when we were, when we were young, from birth to middle adult, middle adult that's usually 40 years old, our energy is released. That's why it's said that we are extroverted and introverted throughout our lives. And it says, When we were young, we were more extroverted. We were more concerned with the external world. When we were young, we didn't have much self-reflection. More on reflecting on how we can get by on our external lives. We always think about how can we have many friends? How can we have many money? How can we gain more money? Or something like that. So, all about the external world. And then eventually, after some time during your middle life, you will regress. So instead of letting the energy come out, letting the reflection come out, is it reflection when it comes out? It will go inside. So regression is what it's called. So regression, adaptation to the inner world, relies on the backward flow of energy. At middle life, people usually turn their attention inwards, exploring their own unconscious, therefore regressing towards what's inside our psyche. So at this point, we confront our complexes and archetypes and start aiming for self-realization or unity of the self. So if the progression is towards knowing more about your conscious, knowing more about your personality types, if you're an introverted thinking, if you're an extroverted thinking or something like that, that's where you'll discover. And I think most of you, by this point of your lives, you have an idea. which functions are dominant in your life. As for me, just like what I've said, I have an introverted thinking, dominant. And then I have an extroverted sensing shadow function. Or secondary function, extroverted sensing. Then introverted thinking of a dominant function. What about you? So by this point of your life, I think you must have an idea. with regards to your personality type because that is the conscious part. If you do not have an idea, you can always take a test about it or you can just reflect on what you're doing right now. What function do you always use? Because according to you, in regression, we should already know that. And then in regression, we won't just go to the conscious. In regression, we'll dig deeper. for the unconscious part. So in the unconscious part, this is where we need to confront the complexes that we have. I've already mentioned the complexes. There are many kinds of complexes. We have different kinds of complexes and some are more powerful in some people and some have twisted sense of complexes. Like there are some people who have twisted sense of Messiah complex. They think they want. They need to save everybody and they don't need to save themselves. That is a messiah complex. So we have to confront our complexes like this. For some, mother complexes. Nagiging over-motherly na sa lahat or something like that. So that's another complexes that you need to confront. At the same time, those complexes kasi they came from archetypes. So in facing the complexes, you're also facing the archetypes. And the architecture not only is facing the dark. archetypes of yourselves but also some of your lighter counterpart of archetypes. So in regression, this is usually when we start aiming for self-realization. So middle adult. That is progression and regression. This is in line with the teleology and causality. If we will look at it in a more broad perspective, perspective, Jung is saying that when we're children or when we are young, we are more extroverted. And when we were old, we are more introverted, which is good for his life. So you can't blame him for assuming that all people are like that. But again, there are some people like me that I started as an introvert when I was a kid, but slowly becoming an extrovert now. And I know some people that were very extroverted back then, and then they're starting to become it introverted now. yung mga klase ko nung high school and elementary they are more, mas extroverted sila sa akin during that time they're very sociable pero sino yung nag-umpisa ng youtube channel ako diba? kaya yung maraming it's reversal I'm not saying that ano, mas naging comfortable lang ako with the social interaction when I grew up because when I was a young teenager very suplado although I still have traces of being suplado nowadays but I've toned down somehow so maybe it's because of regression, I'm a middle adult, I'm not yet, I'm already in my middle age but it's not clear cut when regression starts, sometimes I feel like it's a cycle there's a progression, you won't regress at some point of your life not just middle adult but there's an overarching progression and regression. It's like the plots in movies and series, right? There's an overarching plot, and then there's subplots, small plots in between. So it's like that, although I'm not sure. Okay? So next. So let's go to the development of personality. So if... Freud has psychosexual development, while Jung has development of personality. There's no emphasis in sexual development because as I've said, Freud is very malibby. So he's not like that. He's just full of that. Development of personality is divided into four, childhood, youth, middle age, and old age. and then in childhood is three so first stage is anarchic second stage is monarchic and third stage is dualistic i have no idea kung saan niya galing anarchic and monarchic names but i can just assume that this is based on a mythology or some or some archaeology stuff parang napaka archaeological nung name tsaka mythological okay so anarchic phase is characterized by chaotic and sporadic consciousness So children, when they were born, Sometimes we see some consciousness within them. They will just randomly smile at strangers when they see your face. Parang nakaglue yung mga eyes nila sa face mo. Because children have, nababanan sila sa mga faces. Because we are wired to see faces, patterns of faces. So parang new experience for them. Doon sa Anarch face na yun, meron kang sporadic consciousness. Minsan meron, pero madalas wala. Parang very unconscious, very id-like yung mga bata. And then after ng anarchic phase, which usually lasts for 0 to 1 years old, may monarchic phase na, characterized by development of the ego and by the beginning of logical and verbal thinking. So following this claim, Jung may be saying that women develop their ego faster than men because women, they can speak. women can speak. Baby girls? That sounds ugly. Baby girls develop their verbal abilities faster than males. Girls who are 1 year old, men who are 2 years old, so that's how advanced girls are. That's why girls mature faster in terms of psychological perspective. Girls are more mature. And males usually, males are dumb most of the time. They're not that fast in psychological maturity as evidenced by the developmental milestone. And usually, the girls are faster to walk. And the boys are a bit slower. I don't know, it might just depend on the height. Usually, the girls are smaller so they're faster. The third phase is the dualistic phase. The ego as perceiver arises during the dualistic phase of childhood when the ego is divided into objective and subjective. In Monarchic, it's just subjective. The world is very subjective. There's no concept of objective world. There's no concept of external world because it's from the name of the unconscious. It's all from the subjective. So it's not that developed. yung concept na merong something na external. Usually, sa monarchic phase dito yung parang egoistic yung mga bata. What do I mean by egoistic? Yung feeling nila the world revolves around them. For example, they are asking, why is the moon following me? Bakit ako sinusundan ng buwan? Parang kapal na mukha mo. Ikaw lang sinusundan. Kasi sayo umikot yung mundo, girl. Parang ganun. So, ganun yung mga bata. But, di naman natin sila kailangan anihin doon. i pagalitan doon kasi that's that's how they see the world pero kung yung tao 12 years old na pero feeling niya sa kanya umikot ayun yung kailangan mong pagsabian yan because that's already you know that's not that's not that's not appropriate anyway so once nagdevelop yung concept of external world which is yung objective world then that is the duality phase na meron ng subjective and an objective. The youth phase or youth period from puberty until middle life is called youth. So from puberty to middle adult, so around 13 or for men it's 13 or even 16 because men are slow to develop. For females, it might be 10 to 14. This is called the youth period. Young people strive to gain psychic and physical independence from their parents, find a mate, raise a family, and make a place in the world. So in our youth, we are experiencing that, you are experiencing that now, and I'm experiencing it now. We are more outside-focused. We are focused on gaining more power to control our lives and to control the environment that we are living in. Most likely you are aiming to become independent. If you are not aiming to become independent, that's a bad news. Because your parents will not live forever. So you have to take care of yourselves. If you have no idea on how to take care of yourselves, you're a loser. So we have to become more... We have to be more towards that goal to become independent. So we're teleological to the youth. So we can find a mate. then raise a family and make place in the world. Of course, not all of them want to find a mate. There are some people who do not like to have a mate and do not want to raise a family. And some want to raise a family but they cannot because the expenses are so high. So now, instead of having a baby, they are just adopting a dog. Because it's so expensive to have a baby. There are many disadvantages when you have children. So when you have children, you will spend money. You will spend money on hospital, food, school. Then what will your child give you? Headache. Of course, there are times when he will make you happy because he is cute. But that's just cheating of nature to take care of them. But anyway, there are many disadvantages when you have children. But I think that's the purpose of life, to create more life. So people still create them. I don't know about our generation, what we're going to do. Because I've noticed that some of my, my batches and my older batches, they have a tendency to not create a family. My batches have a family. But maybe it will change eventually. There are others, the so-called blessings. Blessing. Defense mechanism. Anyway, so according to Jung, youth is or should be a period of increased activity, maturing sexuality, growing consciousness, and recognition that the problem-free era of childhood is gone. Okay? So in our youth, we must realize by now that life is suffering. It's wrong to say that life is full of suffering. Life itself is suffering. You have to remember that. You have to accept that. That life is suffering. It's not a bed of roses. At hindi po kaya mabait ka, eh pagpapalain ka ng mundo. Hindi totoo yun. Marami mga masamang tao ang pinagpapala. Marami din namang mabait na tao na binibigyan na mas maramang suffering. So that fairy tale is not entirely true. Although, There's some, there's some, of course, when you are good, you're not doing it for the reward, right? When you're good, because you want to do good. So, those kinds of realizations, we used to think when we were kids, the world is black and white, right? It's either you have a problem or you don't have a problem, it's either you're good or you're bad. But life is not that simple, life is very complicated. And that complicatedness or complexness of life brings so many problems in our life. And during our childhood, we were protected by that. We were protected from that by our parents, our caregivers. They always say, you're a good guy, you're a good girl. No. Life is suffering when you grow old. And then during this time, that's what I always say, that you don't realize that adults are just kids with money. We are just the same with them. We do not have an idea why we are here. And they do not have an idea. They are also making things up as they go along. They do not know. They do not have a plan. We are just going by. That's adulthood is. That's how youth is. But again, you are expected to become active in this point of our lives so that we will have more mastery of our conscious lives and our external world. Okay, because if you do not have that increased activity, of course, you will develop some regrets. We will have regrets in life. And that regret, when it piles up, it's so hard. Because that regret will surely go to the unconscious. Because eventually, after youth, we will go to middle life. And in middle life, this is where regression begins. And if all your regrets in life go to the unconscious, there, you will face them again. So if you haven't faced your regrets in the beginning, if you have regrets in the conscious, of course, it will haunt you. It will come again during your middle adult. So, the belief that middle life begins at approximately 35 or 40, by which time the sun has passed its zenith, and begins its downward descent. So this time, if in childhood and youth, pausbong yung consciousness. Pa... pa-expand, excuse me, sa middle life, pa-shrink naman. Papunta na tayo sa unconscious. So sa unconscious, dito na natin ngayon niya i-co-confront yung mga complexes natin, yung mga regrets natin sa buhay, yung mga repressed emotions and memories, no? And dito din natin ma-co-confront yung mga archetypes natin. So if middle-aged people retain their social and moral values of their early life, They become rigid and fanatical in trying to hold on to their physical attractiveness and agility. If the middle adult, kumbaga hindi niya pa rin matanggap na middle adult na siya, ang tendency is magkikling siya sa youth niya. This is the reason why there are a lot of middle-aged people who are very, who have this complex of being the best person in the world, yung mga boomers. They have this tendency to become preachy, they have this tendency to become, they have this tendency to become, they feel like they know everything. Nakakainis. Yung parang akala nila yung buhay nila noon is applicable sa buhay natin ngayon. Which is very, very false. Very na nga false pa. Very inaccurate, it seems. Because they cling on to that. period of their life na masyado silang malakas. Kasi nga, yung youth tayo yung prime natin, malakas tayo. And some middle-aged people, when they reach that age, their middle age, eh parang hindi sila makamove on. Hindi nila matanggap na tapos na yung youth nila. Parang yung mga youth na di nakamove on sa childhood. And so, they have the tendency to hold on to that physical attractiveness and agility. Yung talagang... They will drink vitamins or exercise. Because yes, it's fun to be a kid but that's a delusion. Because we're all going to die, we're all going to be old age. If you are not able to accept that, then it will create some problems. This is the reason why boomers are... Why do boomers, millennial, and Gen Z fight? Because boomers feel like they know everything. You cannot blame them, although I blame them. You can blame them because they thought, they think, that their experiences during their youth is applicable until now. But that's not the case, especially now, it's very technologically advanced. And the limitations of the elderly have become more prominent that once technology Boom! For example, ngayon sa Facebook, sino ba yung mga problematic Facebook users? Usually, yung mga matatanda, yung mga naniniwala sa mga fake news because they do not really know when a news is fake. Unlike us, like millennials and Gen Z, we know if the source is reputable, if the website is shady. We know, but they don't know. But they feel they know. They feel they're right. Not only in the technological point of view, but also in an economic point of view. If the children don't support the parents, usually the parents are the ones who are responsible for the decisions of the children in their home. Well, you cannot really blame them because they are living under their roof. But of course, there's this kind of, it's not applicable because life before is different from life now. If before, life was just to eat, cook, and have food. Now, it's not like that. You have to pay for the internet, you have to pay for water, you have to pay for electricity, you have to pay for whatever. You have to keep up with social media, you have to show people that you're doing good. Even though you're not, you need to show people that you're happy. Because if you don't show them that you're happy, they'll be jealous of you or something like that. The world is more complicated now. And they think, these middle ages, they think that they know what they are doing. And they are not. Because they are trying to hold on to that physical attractiveness, agility, and mental capacity. Or cultural capacity, I mean. Because mentally, middle ages are really good. But culturally, no. But of course, it's not all of them. There are other middle-aged people who have lived their lives well. They're not childish. They're not very nostalgic about their past. And they are prepared to advance in middle life. Because they know that their time has come. Their prime is over. And they must be handing it over to the younger generation. There are boomers like that, although they are countable. From the boomers I know, there are only 5 who have that attitude about middle age. Because most of them, I don't know why, although I have a theory, but that will come later. They are really, I don't know, their habits are insufferable sometimes. Although, maybe it's generational angst. I don't know. Maybe. So this step often but not always involves a mature religious orientation, especially a belief in some sort of life after death. So in the middle age, this is where the religious people start again. Or the middle age people start being religious. I've noticed this in my clan. We call it clan. We call it clan. We call it clan. Because very... Our family is very religious. They are. I'm not anymore. I don't know. So, they really want to share the gospel or something like that. And our relatives, 10 years ago, 15 years ago, they were very resistant to that topic. But now, when they reached 40 years old, they are the ones who are open. They are the ones who are approaching. to have that kind of religious, mature religious orientation. But of course, not all. Hindi naman lahat. Although yung iba, hindi naman religion talaga. Talagang they become more spiritual. They think about more of life and death or life after death. So, yun. Yun yung mga parang nangyayari sa middle adults. Sabi nga ng mga tao, life starts at 40 or something like that. or middle life crisis because they are more conscious of their unconscious they are looking at their unconscious that's why their habits are suddenly changing because they need to reflect they need to know more about themselves they are unconscious and knowing on their unconscious, it really manifests in different ways but the healthiest way is to accept that in middle adult, middle age Pahina ka na. Patapos na yung contribution mo sa external world. Papunta ka na sa loob dapat. And taking care of the next generation. Taking care, not controlling. Iba yung controlling sa taking care. Okay, so next would be old age. So sa old age, as the evening of life approaches, people experience a diminution of consciousness. So pag tumatanda na, parang bumabalik na sa pagkabata. Bumabalik na yung baby mode. Kasi sa baby, wala talagang consciousness. Parang unti-unti na pupunta doon. So, kaya minsan yung mga ibang matatanda, parang nagiging silang isip bata ulit. Kasi nga, nag-regress na to the unconscious yung personality ng tao. Especially if that person is not acquainted with his or her unconscious. So, kumbaga, na-overwhelm na siya ng unconscious. Kasi nga, hindi siya, hindi niya na-assimilate. Hindi niya na-kuha. Hindi niya na-buo yung personality niya. Hindi niya na-merge yung conscious and unconscious. So, ang tendency si unconscious. unconscious is magiging malakas talaga. And kapag magiging malakas yung unconscious, daladala niya yung regret, daladala niya yung mga complexes, yung mga overpowered archetypes na develop sa kanya. And eventually, dun talaga nagsasuffer yung mga ibang matatanda. Yun talaga yung mga matatanda na they live their lives full of regrets. Kaya yung mga ibang matatanda, very grumpy. Very, parang ang susungit. Yung parang, may mga, halos lahat ng matatanda, ganoon eh. Madalang ka lang makita nung matanda na talagang alam na alam mong walang pinagsisiyan sa buhay. Or kung may pinagsisiyan man eh, nag-come into terms na siya. Yung mga madadaldal na matatanda. Yung parang masayahin na matatanda. Sila yung mga successful sa aging. Because they were able to merge their conscious and unconscious and other archetypes within them. So yun yung successful aging. But most of the time... Ang nagsasurvive talaga, madalang nalang kasing humaba yung buhay ng mga taong may peace sa buhay nila. Kasi yung mga taong may peace sa buhay nila, they can let go of life more easily compared to people who have regrets in their lives. Because they have regrets. They want to right that regrets. They want to correct. And how can you correct that if you will die? So, ang tendency yung mga taong mataasang... Malakas masyado yung mga unconscious, malakas yung mga regrets, malakas yung hila, kumbaga, sa buhay. Eh sila yung umahaba yung buhay. Sila yung mahirap matepo. Sabi nga nila, masamang damo, may mamatay or something like that. Kasi nga, yung parang unconscious talaga ang nagdadrive. But once kasi na na-merge mo ng conscious and unconscious mo, you're already satisfied. Actually, this is just my theory. Ang theory ko... Why are more elderly people very grumpy than those who are successful in aging? Because if you're old and you're successful in aging, most likely, you'll die faster. Not only because you are peaceful with your life, but because usually people who are very successful in aging are those people who were very active when they were young. They give their all. They're 100%. They're very kind and kindness has a cost. because if you're kind, you're most likely to become stressed. You're most likely to have more suffering. So they give it their all, physically speaking, psychologically speaking, emotionally speaking. If you are giving your 100% all the time for how many years, it will really drain your life. So they die faster. And then the people who are not active when they're young, they're very selfish, they want everything for them. They hoard everything without giving anything out. They're just eating, eating, eating and devouring everything. They're physically speaking, they're more healthy. Because they tend to like everything about themselves. That's why their lives are longer. But of course not everyone and this is just my theory. But I don't know if they have thought about this and they already tested it. Although they are not sure. I think that's the reason why we rarely see people who are successful in aging because they die early. That's why they say if you're too good, the Lord will take you early. Maybe that saying is a bit more true. Because if you're really for people, if you develop social interest, you're most likely to push yourself to the limit. And pushing yourself to the limit, It will make you die early. Parang si Luffy lang. Pag nag-gear third siya, or gear second siya, nababawasan yung lifespan niya because very taxing yun sa life force. So ganyan din sa psychology natin siguro. If we always give our 100% for other people, of course, we will, parang yung buhay natin yung binibigay natin. So parang in-extend natin yung buhay nila at the cost of our lives. But that's just my theory. It's not official. So in old age, if people fear life during their early years, then they will almost certainly fear death during later ones. The funny thing about the fear of death is that we fear death and death will surely come. No, that's the thing. Some people are afraid to die without realizing that they will die, which is sad because it's hard to live forever being afraid that you might die. But you will die. It's not a big deal. You will die. And then some people, due to their fear of death, they miss out life because they tend to avoid it. They want to not die early or something like that. And in short, They fear death and in extension, they are also fearing life. If these people reach old age, most certainly they will fear death. They will be scared to death. That's why there are a lot of regrets and what not in life. They will be more scared to death. Because when they live, they don't live their life to the fullest. And fear of death is often taken as normal, but Jung believed that death is the goal of life and that life can be fulfilling only when death is seen in this life. So one antidote for the anxiety of death is that just frame it in a way that death is the goal of life. We live so we can die. And the reason we are now living is because we can die at any moment. So if you... if you thought about that, if you reflected more on that, mas ma-aliviate daw yung fear of death. Although there are so many ways to alleviate fear of death, kaya nga yung may ba na mag-turn sa religion. Because the main purpose of religion, especially nowadays, is to alleviate the anxiety of death. Anxiety brought by death. So lahat ng religion, almost all religion, have a promise of life after death. Because people cannot accept that. death is the final thing. Kaya ang daming religion. Kaya ang daming... Anyway, controversial opinion na yung susunod ka sasabihin. But, yeah. Okay? So, pag-uusapan natin yung religion, more on religion, sa terror management theory, which is literally a theory about fear of death and how it affects our personality. Okay, so in old age, this is also the time that we merge everything from the conscious to unconscious, personal conscious and collective unconscious, complexes and archetypes. And upon doing this, we are actually being rebirthed, psychological rebirth, also called the self-realization. This is the process of becoming an individual or whole person. So as I've mentioned, When we were born, we were fragmented and we are more focused on our conscious. And then as we grow old, we explore our unconscious. And if we are successful in merging the archetypes within us and the complexes and the personality types that we have, we will be more time-whole. We will be more built as a person. Because there is always a lack in the human being. And that lack, sometimes we fill it up in so many different ways. Like like joining other people, joining a cause, joining, marrying someone, or joining a religion. That's well and good, but again, self-realization, it's not more of the external world only. It also involves the internal world. And the internal world means the unconscious, the archetypes and the complexes that we have. Actually, those archetypes, we all have our dominant archetypes and our dominant archetypes is the sources of our complexes and our personality types. For example, do you know what your dominant archetypes are? So if you're not familiar with your dominant archetypes, one... informal way of knowing your domain archetypes is look at the films or movies or novels that you're reading, watching, or listening to and sinong character yung parang talagang nag-resonate sa inyo. Hindi naman yung ibig sabihin na favorite character, no? Ibig sabihin, or yung crush nyo na character, yung bias nyo na character. What I mean is yung parang talagang nag-resonate na kung If I'm part of the cast in this book, I'm the character. We have that kind of character, right? We have that kind of tendency to like certain characters. And you'll notice it's consistent. For example, in a novel, this character is the one you really relate to. And then in a novel or anime, that's the character you relate to. So there's something there. it might be the case that that is your dominant archetype. And if you're familiar with archetypes, you can also somehow sense the other archetypes of other people. For example, there are some students, I'm a teacher so I always look at students, I interact with students. And sometimes I... I notice or I sense what archetypes they have, what dominant archetypes they have. There are other students who are very motherly. The motherly students usually have a great affinity for their great mother archetype. And then there are some students who are very quiet, they don't care about what's happening. But you know that they are the behind. sa lahat ng nangyayari sa room, sa classroom. So yun yung mga students na yun, yun yung mga trickster. Yun yung mga nagpapanggap na mahina sila, nagpapanggap na hindi sila ganun kaano, pero in reality, sila pala yung nagkokontrol ng buong classroom. So trickster yung mga yun. Meron din naman yung mga wise old man type. Yung mga, usually yun sila yung bastion of wisdom ng school or ng room. May mga ganun. And you can sense that if you are familiar with the archetypes. I'm somehow familiar with the main archetypes although there are so many like trickster, engineer, wizard, mage, swordsman, hero. There are a lot of them. And to know more about your archetypes, you can look on your history of the characters you like. That's one way to know more about your archetype because knowing more about the dominant archetype that resides within on you will help you in your self-realization. Not only that, Kapag alam niyo yung archetype niyo, yung reverse side ng archetype na yun, usually yun yung shadow niyo. Yun yung part ng pagkataon ninyo na hindi niyo gusto or hindi niyo gusto ipakita. And as I've mentioned in our lessons on archetypes, facing your shadow or confronting your shadow is the first step. The first test of courage in self-realization. So once you've, syempre, in knowing your... in fighting an enemy, first, you must know your enemy. Although, the shadow is not necessarily an enemy. It's just a part of you that you need to assimilate, that you need to absorb, that you need to embrace. You can talk to your shadow. You can say something about your shadow and then your shadow can say something about you. Or, you can ask him, or tatanungin kanya bakit mo siya ayaw, kailangan mo siya sagutin. And kapag tatanung, pag sasagutin kanya, kailangan magkaroon kayo ng understanding that you need both, you need each other or something like that. So of course, it's very different for people, from people to people, okay? So, but the theme is you need to confront your shadow because this is the first step. And in confronting your shadow, you can always gather help. you can always have You can always ask for the help of other archetypes within you. Your different personality sides or even your friends or even your therapist if you have. Okay, so that's how it is. Confronting your shadow, merging all your archetypes, merging it to your conscious and then you combine your complexes. Usually, the complexes also come from the archetypes. So when you face your archetypes, it will also follow to face your complexes. So once you do that, once you did that, once you're successful in recognizing, acquainting, embracing, and accepting those archetypes, you will then experience psychological rebirth. You will become a self. You will have a whole person. But according to you, this self-realization is rare? No. It's only achieved by people who are able to assimilate their unconscious to their to the total personality. I'm talking like I'm already self-realized but I'm not. I have a long ways to go. I have so many things in my unconscious that I need to confront as I go along with life because according to you, self-realization is a lifetime journey. It will end once you die and I'm not dead yet so I'm still embarking on that journey. hero's journey. As Joseph Campbell says. If you know Joseph Campbell. That's where my video came from. And by the way, Joseph Campbell is a fan of Jung. And Joseph Campbell is not even a psychologist. He is a literary professor. That's how wide Jung's range is. Okay. So Jung's method... By the way, do you have any questions first regarding what we discussed? Now let's move on to Jung's methods in investigation. So basically, Jung is a humanities enthusiast. He didn't just study psychology, he also studied sociology, anthropology, philosophy, mythology, religion, and even biology. Since he has training in becoming a doctor. So in studying human personality, since if you want to know more about humans, psychology is one side. you have to know the whole again the wholeness and then to know more about the complexes of a person he employed what we call word association test now until now official in which you will say a word and the patient will say a word that that he or she thinks after hearing it. So what comes out? word comes into your mind when I say mother. So the purpose of that is to uncover some complexes, the feeling-toned complexes. So the recorded each verbal response, and then the number of seconds before I responded, and the rate of breathing, and even galvanic skin response, or the sweating, something, right? I'm not sure if that's the galvanic skin response. But I think that's it. So usually, he would repeat the experiment to determine the test rate. consistency. Okay? So, yung word association, parang siyang free association, pero mas hindi siya free. May word. Next would be dream analysis. So, like Kay Freud, meron din dream analysis si Jung. Ang pinagkaibin nila is, si Freud ang tendency niya, kapag meron kang komento sa kanya, for example, na panaginipan mo yung isang ahas, malaking ahas, thick snake, thick and long snake, thick and long black snake. So, Freud is the first one to say that it's a penis or something like that. And then, for example, the snake is eating itself, eating its tail. You are orally fixated, Freud will say. Freud, what are you saying, Freud? So, it's not like that. He said that the symbols are not sexual in nature. These concepts are not merely sexual ones. And there are many concepts that can be managed there. For example, the snake that I've just mentioned just now is Ouroboros. The snake eating itself. I'm not sure. What I know is that it's a sign of death and rebirth. Ouroboros. Circular symbol depicting a snake. It's a less common dragon. Emblem of wholeness or infinity. It's infinity because if you can do it, or wholeness because you're whole with your body. It's also a symbol of alchemy or something like that. So that's right. On Wikipedia, eternal cyclic renewal of cycle of life, death, and rebirth. And that is infinite. Cycles are infinite. There's your, you can say that you're thinking about your self-realization. You want to become more whole in your life. That's why you dream of Ouroboros. So that's the Jung. Those are his Jungian concepts. That's the Jungian dream interpretation. It's more of a cultural, anthropological, and sociological interpretations of the symbols that is in your dreams. Okay? And it can help. in facilitating self-realization because you're also exploring the unconscious side of yourself. Next is active imagination. Active imagination, this is a method wherein a person is required to imagine. An impression, a dream image, vision, picture, or fantasy, and concentrate until that vision disappears, until that image disappears. The purpose of active imagination is to reveal archetypal images emerging from the unconscious. You won't say what image you're thinking of, just what you think of first, and then you wait for it to disappear. So for others, if the client is an artist, he'll say he'll draw it. Usually, the... I feel like artists have strong unconscious. Especially dreamlike artists, those who are very imaginative. Although there are artists who are very externally oriented, but it's still the same. It's hard to draw. Or maybe it's just me. Why did I say archery? Why can't I draw? It's just stupid. Anyway, so there. Active imagination. And in Jung's psychotherapy, unlike Freud, he didn't give any steps, counter-transforms, or step-by-step procedures. And in humanistic, there are more step-by-step procedures, especially with Carl Rogers. But for Jung, he is very eclectic in his approach. It's like normal. For example, Jung's psychotherapy has four stages. Usually, he only does it until the third stage. Very special cases yung fourth stage. Ano ba yung mga stages na yan? So yung first stage, confession of pathogenic secret. Sometimes people just want to confess their problems. For example, yung mga kaibigan natin, kailangan lang na, sabi nila may problema sila, tapos ishishare nila sa atin. Tapos nung nagsishare sila, sasabi nila, hey bro, salamat, kasi natulungan mo ko. Tapos ikaw na nakinig lang wala ka naman sinasabi, ah sige. You'll see that they don't give you advice. But for them, that is already enough because they just want confession. And in confessing the problem, it's already cathartic. They release the emotion and it's already okay for them. So that's the first stage. And then if it's not enough, if the confession is not enough, it will go to the second stage which involves interpretation, explanation, and elucidation. So for example, the problem of... The client or problem of kaibigan mo is lagi siyang bine-break or bine-break na naman siya ng boyfriend niya or nag-cheat yung boyfriend niya, girlfriend niya. And then lagi nalang nangyayari yun. Siyempre hindi naman enough na i-share mo lang yung problem na yun, diba? Yung kailangan, bakit? Bakit ganun yung ginagawa ko? Nung nangyayari sa akin? So in that way, the client will give or the therapist will give some interpretation. Or even the client, the patient insight into the causes of their neuroses but may still leave the plan. So sometimes the client will be the one who will realize what their problem is. But with the help of the therapist. But of course, some people can be helped with this, when they know the cause, they know what to do. But there are some people who still don't know what to do, they still have social problems. So that's where the third stage of Adler's appearance comes in. that you will give education to the patients to become more social beings, to develop social interests. So, he will develop his own, he will be better at choosing his friends, whoever his future partner will be. But of course, most of the time, it's okay. It's like a therapy part. You will change his behavior. But there are times that it's not enough. Because the problem you solved is one side of his or her own problem in terms of his or her personality. And if that's the case, and the client is willing to have a total transformation of personality, then the fourth stage will enter, which is the transformation. So only after transformation and an established philosophy of life, Is the therapist able to help patients move towards individuation, wholeness, or self-realization? So, establishing own philosophy of life. Because most of the time, we are just borrowing philosophies of other people, other groups, or our religion. Sabi niyong hindi daw enough yun. Kailangan daw gumawa tayo ng sarili nating philosophy of life. And once we do that, dun tayo magkakaroon ng... That's where our journey towards individuation, wholeness, and self-realization started. That's why Jung's clients are usually middle-aged people. Because middle-aged people are his target market. Jung was quite eclectic in his theory and practice of psychotherapy. Sometimes he doesn't just use psychological concepts. He also does bibliotherapy so that he can read stories or something. And then what you think about it. Jung's method is very unorthodox. That's why he has a lot of issues. He's not a psychologist, he's an occultist, he's a cultist, something like that. But he said, in the book, if you accuse me of being an occultist, you need to accuse Freud of being a sexual predator or sexual maniac. kasi parehas lang kami ng ginagawa in essence. Gusto ko yung burn na yun. So anyway, that's how Jung's methods are. Ganyan yung basic yung, basically yung therapy niya. Depende sa client talaga kung ano yung gagawin niya. Kung kailangan doon ng client award association to solve the complex or kailangan lang ng kausapin. Kailangan lang ng talk therapy talaga or specialized techniques. So, Critic of Jung. Of course, Jung is awesome, but I'm just biased about that. But the falsifiability is questionable. Again, this is common with psychodynamic theories. It generated some ideas naman, like the MBTI, and it organizes data, especially not only data of psychology, but also data of philosophy. And then, mas marami sa literature, and then mythology and religion. Practicality a bit low because as I've mentioned this is a trend that most people do not fully grasp Jung's theory. I myself is not an expert in Jung's theory. I'm just a beginner. I'm just scratching the surface of Jung's theory. It's still deep. I haven't really dived. I've dived sometimes, but I know some people that are really nosedive. They're really in the depth of Jung's theory. So I'm just a fanboy. I'm an enthusiast. I'm not that expert about you. So the practicality is a bit low. He doesn't use everything. So internal consistency in persimony is a bit low too because the theory is complex. So many moving parts. So if there are many moving parts, the consistency is really low. So the theory is not straight line. It's not straight. It's not like the previous theory that's straight, that you were born like this, you're going to develop like this. It's like a web of ideas. So the simplicity and the consistency and simplicity or parsimony in this case is very questionable. It's too low. Because it's complex. There are many moving parts and many ideas are connected. Okay? So in terms of concept of humanity, always in the middle ground. Conscious versus unconscious, it's in the middle. Causality and teleology, it's in the middle. Free will and determination, predetermination. It's a bit in predetermination but it still has free will. Because you still have free will to self-individuate or self-realize or nothing. Or if you self-realize, you won't be successful. Biological versus social factors, it's a bit of a link in biology but it's still almost the same. And then uniqueness versus similarity, same lang din. Sa gitna lang din. Although sabi ng book niyo yata it's similarity. Pero hindi eh. Kasi unique din naman yung mga tao para kay Jung. Kasi iba't iba yung personality types natin, iba't iba yung archetypes natin. So that's how Jung saw it. Jung's theory is neither pessimistic nor optimistic. Parang sinasabi niya nga may part sa buhay natin na dark, may part sa buhay natin na light. And we have to accept those parts. So, very ano siya. Kung naghahanap kayo ng true or false, nasagot kayo yung walang ganon. Because it's always in the middle. And that's why I like his theory. Because it's not definitive. You can, you can, kumbaga, man, flexible siya kung tutusin. Although some other people, kasi may tendency nga yung mga tao na they want a clear-cut answer in their questions. But life is rarely clear-cut, no? A person is neither good nor bad. They have good qualities, they have bad qualities. So saying that a person is good is unfair. Saying that a person is purely bad is unfair. because humans are complicated. Okay, so that's the theory of Jung. Do you have any questions or clarifications? I'll stop the recording.

Okay, let's start. We'll be discussing analytical psychology again, part 3 of our lesson. Jung has a lot of concepts and we have to go over it.

And this time we will be talking about the dynamics of personality. So more on the movement. So if the first one is about structures, if Freud has an ego, super ego, and see young yung first two meetings natin, yun yung structure of personality niya. So very comprehensive, very complex.

So now we will talk about the dynamics naman. Kung paano yung mga movement within that movement ng mga mechanics na yun. Okay, so skip na natin to. Dahil na-discuss na natin.

Personal and conscious, ang haba, grabe, ang dami natin. archetypes. Okay, so, ayan.

So, dito na tayo sa dynamics of personality. So, yun nga, we've talked about the structure from conscious to unconscious, personal and conscious and collective and conscious. So, how does that work?

How does that, how does that conscious, yung personality types, yung mga komplekses yung mga archetypes works panabasha panobana panobo panogumagana subversive Latin and some power you my own according to you so first first dynamics napagusa panathen would be on causality and teleology if you remember this is this is a concept of humanity concede Freud is pinagusa panathen Rebecca Freud Sabina behavior doing is on Tao is based on past experiences which is causality And then, for Adler, teleology means our future plans or goals affects our personality. Now, for Jung, he said, why not both? He said, part of our personality is explained by our past behaviors and part of our personality is explained by our future projects or future goals. But there are some points in our life wherein it's more teleological and there are some points in our life that it's more causality. Of course, if you're just giving birth, there's no causality in that.

Basically, your causality is just giving birth. So it will not really explain your behavior. So logically speaking, as Jung said, at first stages of our lives, we are more teleological. we are more towards a goal.

And then later in life, when we are more of a reflective mode na, we are more on causality na. Kasi there is a past that will explain your present behavior. As opposed naman dito sa kapapanganak mo lang, wala ka pong past na mag-explain ang behavior mo. So he has a point there. Yung life, throughout our life, may causality.

May point na causality lang, may point na... teleological or there's a point that one is bigger than the other. Again, theme of duality in Jung's case.

So Jung said in the first part of our lives, in the first phase of our lives, we are more towards progression, teleological, we are going out. So progression means progression is to progress to become from level zero to level one two three so progression adaptation to the outside world in that involves forward flow of psychic energy so papunta move on forward for future psychic energy so progression inclines a person to react uh consistently to a given set of environmental conditions we usually progress from the moment we were born from being unconscious to becoming more conscious about our external world as we grow old. So sa progression from unconscious, papunta tayo sa conscious. Okay, so when we were born, of course, kung unconscious tayo, we are not aware of our lives, kaya wala tayong naalala about it.

May infantile amnesia tayo. Nagkakaroon lang tayo ng idea, I guess, mga four years old. Doon nag-uumpisa yung mga memories natin, four years old. But according kay Jung, yung mga memories na yun, those are just conscious memories. Because we are going there but the majority of our childhood is unconscious which we will talk about later.

about development of personality. So progression peaks at midlife and from there on, people usually regress. So from when we were, when we were young, from birth to middle adult, middle adult that's usually 40 years old, our energy is released.

That's why it's said that we are extroverted and introverted throughout our lives. And it says, When we were young, we were more extroverted. We were more concerned with the external world. When we were young, we didn't have much self-reflection.

More on reflecting on how we can get by on our external lives. We always think about how can we have many friends? How can we have many money?

How can we gain more money? Or something like that. So, all about the external world.

And then eventually, after some time during your middle life, you will regress. So instead of letting the energy come out, letting the reflection come out, is it reflection when it comes out? It will go inside. So regression is what it's called. So regression, adaptation to the inner world, relies on the backward flow of energy.

At middle life, people usually turn their attention inwards, exploring their own unconscious, therefore regressing towards what's inside our psyche. So at this point, we confront our complexes and archetypes and start aiming for self-realization or unity of the self. So if the progression is towards knowing more about your conscious, knowing more about your personality types, if you're an introverted thinking, if you're an extroverted thinking or something like that, that's where you'll discover. And I think most of you, by this point of your lives, you have an idea.

which functions are dominant in your life. As for me, just like what I've said, I have an introverted thinking, dominant. And then I have an extroverted sensing shadow function. Or secondary function, extroverted sensing.

Then introverted thinking of a dominant function. What about you? So by this point of your life, I think you must have an idea. with regards to your personality type because that is the conscious part.

If you do not have an idea, you can always take a test about it or you can just reflect on what you're doing right now. What function do you always use? Because according to you, in regression, we should already know that.

And then in regression, we won't just go to the conscious. In regression, we'll dig deeper. for the unconscious part.

So in the unconscious part, this is where we need to confront the complexes that we have. I've already mentioned the complexes. There are many kinds of complexes. We have different kinds of complexes and some are more powerful in some people and some have twisted sense of complexes. Like there are some people who have twisted sense of Messiah complex.

They think they want. They need to save everybody and they don't need to save themselves. That is a messiah complex. So we have to confront our complexes like this.

For some, mother complexes. Nagiging over-motherly na sa lahat or something like that. So that's another complexes that you need to confront.

At the same time, those complexes kasi they came from archetypes. So in facing the complexes, you're also facing the archetypes. And the architecture not only is facing the dark.

archetypes of yourselves but also some of your lighter counterpart of archetypes. So in regression, this is usually when we start aiming for self-realization. So middle adult.

That is progression and regression. This is in line with the teleology and causality. If we will look at it in a more broad perspective, perspective, Jung is saying that when we're children or when we are young, we are more extroverted. And when we were old, we are more introverted, which is good for his life. So you can't blame him for assuming that all people are like that.

But again, there are some people like me that I started as an introvert when I was a kid, but slowly becoming an extrovert now. And I know some people that were very extroverted back then, and then they're starting to become it introverted now. yung mga klase ko nung high school and elementary they are more, mas extroverted sila sa akin during that time they're very sociable pero sino yung nag-umpisa ng youtube channel ako diba?

kaya yung maraming it's reversal I'm not saying that ano, mas naging comfortable lang ako with the social interaction when I grew up because when I was a young teenager very suplado although I still have traces of being suplado nowadays but I've toned down somehow so maybe it's because of regression, I'm a middle adult, I'm not yet, I'm already in my middle age but it's not clear cut when regression starts, sometimes I feel like it's a cycle there's a progression, you won't regress at some point of your life not just middle adult but there's an overarching progression and regression. It's like the plots in movies and series, right? There's an overarching plot, and then there's subplots, small plots in between.

So it's like that, although I'm not sure. Okay? So next. So let's go to the development of personality. So if...

Freud has psychosexual development, while Jung has development of personality. There's no emphasis in sexual development because as I've said, Freud is very malibby. So he's not like that.

He's just full of that. Development of personality is divided into four, childhood, youth, middle age, and old age. and then in childhood is three so first stage is anarchic second stage is monarchic and third stage is dualistic i have no idea kung saan niya galing anarchic and monarchic names but i can just assume that this is based on a mythology or some or some archaeology stuff parang napaka archaeological nung name tsaka mythological okay so anarchic phase is characterized by chaotic and sporadic consciousness So children, when they were born, Sometimes we see some consciousness within them.

They will just randomly smile at strangers when they see your face. Parang nakaglue yung mga eyes nila sa face mo. Because children have, nababanan sila sa mga faces. Because we are wired to see faces, patterns of faces.

So parang new experience for them. Doon sa Anarch face na yun, meron kang sporadic consciousness. Minsan meron, pero madalas wala.

Parang very unconscious, very id-like yung mga bata. And then after ng anarchic phase, which usually lasts for 0 to 1 years old, may monarchic phase na, characterized by development of the ego and by the beginning of logical and verbal thinking. So following this claim, Jung may be saying that women develop their ego faster than men because women, they can speak. women can speak. Baby girls?

That sounds ugly. Baby girls develop their verbal abilities faster than males. Girls who are 1 year old, men who are 2 years old, so that's how advanced girls are. That's why girls mature faster in terms of psychological perspective.

Girls are more mature. And males usually, males are dumb most of the time. They're not that fast in psychological maturity as evidenced by the developmental milestone.

And usually, the girls are faster to walk. And the boys are a bit slower. I don't know, it might just depend on the height. Usually, the girls are smaller so they're faster.

The third phase is the dualistic phase. The ego as perceiver arises during the dualistic phase of childhood when the ego is divided into objective and subjective. In Monarchic, it's just subjective. The world is very subjective. There's no concept of objective world.

There's no concept of external world because it's from the name of the unconscious. It's all from the subjective. So it's not that developed.

yung concept na merong something na external. Usually, sa monarchic phase dito yung parang egoistic yung mga bata. What do I mean by egoistic?

Yung feeling nila the world revolves around them. For example, they are asking, why is the moon following me? Bakit ako sinusundan ng buwan? Parang kapal na mukha mo. Ikaw lang sinusundan.

Kasi sayo umikot yung mundo, girl. Parang ganun. So, ganun yung mga bata. But, di naman natin sila kailangan anihin doon. i pagalitan doon kasi that's that's how they see the world pero kung yung tao 12 years old na pero feeling niya sa kanya umikot ayun yung kailangan mong pagsabian yan because that's already you know that's not that's not that's not appropriate anyway so once nagdevelop yung concept of external world which is yung objective world then that is the duality phase na meron ng subjective and an objective.

The youth phase or youth period from puberty until middle life is called youth. So from puberty to middle adult, so around 13 or for men it's 13 or even 16 because men are slow to develop. For females, it might be 10 to 14. This is called the youth period. Young people strive to gain psychic and physical independence from their parents, find a mate, raise a family, and make a place in the world. So in our youth, we are experiencing that, you are experiencing that now, and I'm experiencing it now.

We are more outside-focused. We are focused on gaining more power to control our lives and to control the environment that we are living in. Most likely you are aiming to become independent. If you are not aiming to become independent, that's a bad news. Because your parents will not live forever.

So you have to take care of yourselves. If you have no idea on how to take care of yourselves, you're a loser. So we have to become more... We have to be more towards that goal to become independent. So we're teleological to the youth.

So we can find a mate. then raise a family and make place in the world. Of course, not all of them want to find a mate.

There are some people who do not like to have a mate and do not want to raise a family. And some want to raise a family but they cannot because the expenses are so high. So now, instead of having a baby, they are just adopting a dog. Because it's so expensive to have a baby. There are many disadvantages when you have children.

So when you have children, you will spend money. You will spend money on hospital, food, school. Then what will your child give you? Headache. Of course, there are times when he will make you happy because he is cute.

But that's just cheating of nature to take care of them. But anyway, there are many disadvantages when you have children. But I think that's the purpose of life, to create more life.

So people still create them. I don't know about our generation, what we're going to do. Because I've noticed that some of my, my batches and my older batches, they have a tendency to not create a family. My batches have a family. But maybe it will change eventually.

There are others, the so-called blessings. Blessing. Defense mechanism. Anyway, so according to Jung, youth is or should be a period of increased activity, maturing sexuality, growing consciousness, and recognition that the problem-free era of childhood is gone. Okay?

So in our youth, we must realize by now that life is suffering. It's wrong to say that life is full of suffering. Life itself is suffering. You have to remember that. You have to accept that.

That life is suffering. It's not a bed of roses. At hindi po kaya mabait ka, eh pagpapalain ka ng mundo.

Hindi totoo yun. Marami mga masamang tao ang pinagpapala. Marami din namang mabait na tao na binibigyan na mas maramang suffering. So that fairy tale is not entirely true. Although, There's some, there's some, of course, when you are good, you're not doing it for the reward, right?

When you're good, because you want to do good. So, those kinds of realizations, we used to think when we were kids, the world is black and white, right? It's either you have a problem or you don't have a problem, it's either you're good or you're bad. But life is not that simple, life is very complicated. And that complicatedness or complexness of life brings so many problems in our life.

And during our childhood, we were protected by that. We were protected from that by our parents, our caregivers. They always say, you're a good guy, you're a good girl.

No. Life is suffering when you grow old. And then during this time, that's what I always say, that you don't realize that adults are just kids with money. We are just the same with them.

We do not have an idea why we are here. And they do not have an idea. They are also making things up as they go along. They do not know.

They do not have a plan. We are just going by. That's adulthood is. That's how youth is. But again, you are expected to become active in this point of our lives so that we will have more mastery of our conscious lives and our external world.

Okay, because if you do not have that increased activity, of course, you will develop some regrets. We will have regrets in life. And that regret, when it piles up, it's so hard. Because that regret will surely go to the unconscious. Because eventually, after youth, we will go to middle life.

And in middle life, this is where regression begins. And if all your regrets in life go to the unconscious, there, you will face them again. So if you haven't faced your regrets in the beginning, if you have regrets in the conscious, of course, it will haunt you. It will come again during your middle adult. So, the belief that middle life begins at approximately 35 or 40, by which time the sun has passed its zenith, and begins its downward descent.

So this time, if in childhood and youth, pausbong yung consciousness. Pa... pa-expand, excuse me, sa middle life, pa-shrink naman.

Papunta na tayo sa unconscious. So sa unconscious, dito na natin ngayon niya i-co-confront yung mga complexes natin, yung mga regrets natin sa buhay, yung mga repressed emotions and memories, no? And dito din natin ma-co-confront yung mga archetypes natin.

So if middle-aged people retain their social and moral values of their early life, They become rigid and fanatical in trying to hold on to their physical attractiveness and agility. If the middle adult, kumbaga hindi niya pa rin matanggap na middle adult na siya, ang tendency is magkikling siya sa youth niya. This is the reason why there are a lot of middle-aged people who are very, who have this complex of being the best person in the world, yung mga boomers. They have this tendency to become preachy, they have this tendency to become, they have this tendency to become, they feel like they know everything. Nakakainis.

Yung parang akala nila yung buhay nila noon is applicable sa buhay natin ngayon. Which is very, very false. Very na nga false pa.

Very inaccurate, it seems. Because they cling on to that. period of their life na masyado silang malakas.

Kasi nga, yung youth tayo yung prime natin, malakas tayo. And some middle-aged people, when they reach that age, their middle age, eh parang hindi sila makamove on. Hindi nila matanggap na tapos na yung youth nila. Parang yung mga youth na di nakamove on sa childhood.

And so, they have the tendency to hold on to that physical attractiveness and agility. Yung talagang... They will drink vitamins or exercise. Because yes, it's fun to be a kid but that's a delusion.

Because we're all going to die, we're all going to be old age. If you are not able to accept that, then it will create some problems. This is the reason why boomers are... Why do boomers, millennial, and Gen Z fight? Because boomers feel like they know everything.

You cannot blame them, although I blame them. You can blame them because they thought, they think, that their experiences during their youth is applicable until now. But that's not the case, especially now, it's very technologically advanced.

And the limitations of the elderly have become more prominent that once technology Boom! For example, ngayon sa Facebook, sino ba yung mga problematic Facebook users? Usually, yung mga matatanda, yung mga naniniwala sa mga fake news because they do not really know when a news is fake. Unlike us, like millennials and Gen Z, we know if the source is reputable, if the website is shady.

We know, but they don't know. But they feel they know. They feel they're right.

Not only in the technological point of view, but also in an economic point of view. If the children don't support the parents, usually the parents are the ones who are responsible for the decisions of the children in their home. Well, you cannot really blame them because they are living under their roof. But of course, there's this kind of, it's not applicable because life before is different from life now. If before, life was just to eat, cook, and have food.

Now, it's not like that. You have to pay for the internet, you have to pay for water, you have to pay for electricity, you have to pay for whatever. You have to keep up with social media, you have to show people that you're doing good.

Even though you're not, you need to show people that you're happy. Because if you don't show them that you're happy, they'll be jealous of you or something like that. The world is more complicated now.

And they think, these middle ages, they think that they know what they are doing. And they are not. Because they are trying to hold on to that physical attractiveness, agility, and mental capacity. Or cultural capacity, I mean.

Because mentally, middle ages are really good. But culturally, no. But of course, it's not all of them.

There are other middle-aged people who have lived their lives well. They're not childish. They're not very nostalgic about their past. And they are prepared to advance in middle life.

Because they know that their time has come. Their prime is over. And they must be handing it over to the younger generation. There are boomers like that, although they are countable. From the boomers I know, there are only 5 who have that attitude about middle age.

Because most of them, I don't know why, although I have a theory, but that will come later. They are really, I don't know, their habits are insufferable sometimes. Although, maybe it's generational angst.

I don't know. Maybe. So this step often but not always involves a mature religious orientation, especially a belief in some sort of life after death.

So in the middle age, this is where the religious people start again. Or the middle age people start being religious. I've noticed this in my clan.

We call it clan. We call it clan. We call it clan.

Because very... Our family is very religious. They are.

I'm not anymore. I don't know. So, they really want to share the gospel or something like that.

And our relatives, 10 years ago, 15 years ago, they were very resistant to that topic. But now, when they reached 40 years old, they are the ones who are open. They are the ones who are approaching.

to have that kind of religious, mature religious orientation. But of course, not all. Hindi naman lahat.

Although yung iba, hindi naman religion talaga. Talagang they become more spiritual. They think about more of life and death or life after death.

So, yun. Yun yung mga parang nangyayari sa middle adults. Sabi nga ng mga tao, life starts at 40 or something like that.

or middle life crisis because they are more conscious of their unconscious they are looking at their unconscious that's why their habits are suddenly changing because they need to reflect they need to know more about themselves they are unconscious and knowing on their unconscious, it really manifests in different ways but the healthiest way is to accept that in middle adult, middle age Pahina ka na. Patapos na yung contribution mo sa external world. Papunta ka na sa loob dapat.

And taking care of the next generation. Taking care, not controlling. Iba yung controlling sa taking care. Okay, so next would be old age. So sa old age, as the evening of life approaches, people experience a diminution of consciousness.

So pag tumatanda na, parang bumabalik na sa pagkabata. Bumabalik na yung baby mode. Kasi sa baby, wala talagang consciousness.

Parang unti-unti na pupunta doon. So, kaya minsan yung mga ibang matatanda, parang nagiging silang isip bata ulit. Kasi nga, nag-regress na to the unconscious yung personality ng tao. Especially if that person is not acquainted with his or her unconscious. So, kumbaga, na-overwhelm na siya ng unconscious.

Kasi nga, hindi siya, hindi niya na-assimilate. Hindi niya na-kuha. Hindi niya na-buo yung personality niya. Hindi niya na-merge yung conscious and unconscious.

So, ang tendency si unconscious. unconscious is magiging malakas talaga. And kapag magiging malakas yung unconscious, daladala niya yung regret, daladala niya yung mga complexes, yung mga overpowered archetypes na develop sa kanya.

And eventually, dun talaga nagsasuffer yung mga ibang matatanda. Yun talaga yung mga matatanda na they live their lives full of regrets. Kaya yung mga ibang matatanda, very grumpy.

Very, parang ang susungit. Yung parang, may mga, halos lahat ng matatanda, ganoon eh. Madalang ka lang makita nung matanda na talagang alam na alam mong walang pinagsisiyan sa buhay. Or kung may pinagsisiyan man eh, nag-come into terms na siya.

Yung mga madadaldal na matatanda. Yung parang masayahin na matatanda. Sila yung mga successful sa aging.

Because they were able to merge their conscious and unconscious and other archetypes within them. So yun yung successful aging. But most of the time...

Ang nagsasurvive talaga, madalang nalang kasing humaba yung buhay ng mga taong may peace sa buhay nila. Kasi yung mga taong may peace sa buhay nila, they can let go of life more easily compared to people who have regrets in their lives. Because they have regrets. They want to right that regrets.

They want to correct. And how can you correct that if you will die? So, ang tendency yung mga taong mataasang... Malakas masyado yung mga unconscious, malakas yung mga regrets, malakas yung hila, kumbaga, sa buhay.

Eh sila yung umahaba yung buhay. Sila yung mahirap matepo. Sabi nga nila, masamang damo, may mamatay or something like that.

Kasi nga, yung parang unconscious talaga ang nagdadrive. But once kasi na na-merge mo ng conscious and unconscious mo, you're already satisfied. Actually, this is just my theory.

Ang theory ko... Why are more elderly people very grumpy than those who are successful in aging? Because if you're old and you're successful in aging, most likely, you'll die faster. Not only because you are peaceful with your life, but because usually people who are very successful in aging are those people who were very active when they were young.

They give their all. They're 100%. They're very kind and kindness has a cost.

because if you're kind, you're most likely to become stressed. You're most likely to have more suffering. So they give it their all, physically speaking, psychologically speaking, emotionally speaking. If you are giving your 100% all the time for how many years, it will really drain your life. So they die faster.

And then the people who are not active when they're young, they're very selfish, they want everything for them. They hoard everything without giving anything out. They're just eating, eating, eating and devouring everything. They're physically speaking, they're more healthy. Because they tend to like everything about themselves.

That's why their lives are longer. But of course not everyone and this is just my theory. But I don't know if they have thought about this and they already tested it. Although they are not sure. I think that's the reason why we rarely see people who are successful in aging because they die early.

That's why they say if you're too good, the Lord will take you early. Maybe that saying is a bit more true. Because if you're really for people, if you develop social interest, you're most likely to push yourself to the limit.

And pushing yourself to the limit, It will make you die early. Parang si Luffy lang. Pag nag-gear third siya, or gear second siya, nababawasan yung lifespan niya because very taxing yun sa life force.

So ganyan din sa psychology natin siguro. If we always give our 100% for other people, of course, we will, parang yung buhay natin yung binibigay natin. So parang in-extend natin yung buhay nila at the cost of our lives.

But that's just my theory. It's not official. So in old age, if people fear life during their early years, then they will almost certainly fear death during later ones. The funny thing about the fear of death is that we fear death and death will surely come. No, that's the thing.

Some people are afraid to die without realizing that they will die, which is sad because it's hard to live forever being afraid that you might die. But you will die. It's not a big deal. You will die. And then some people, due to their fear of death, they miss out life because they tend to avoid it.

They want to not die early or something like that. And in short, They fear death and in extension, they are also fearing life. If these people reach old age, most certainly they will fear death.

They will be scared to death. That's why there are a lot of regrets and what not in life. They will be more scared to death. Because when they live, they don't live their life to the fullest. And fear of death is often taken as normal, but Jung believed that death is the goal of life and that life can be fulfilling only when death is seen in this life.

So one antidote for the anxiety of death is that just frame it in a way that death is the goal of life. We live so we can die. And the reason we are now living is because we can die at any moment. So if you... if you thought about that, if you reflected more on that, mas ma-aliviate daw yung fear of death.

Although there are so many ways to alleviate fear of death, kaya nga yung may ba na mag-turn sa religion. Because the main purpose of religion, especially nowadays, is to alleviate the anxiety of death. Anxiety brought by death. So lahat ng religion, almost all religion, have a promise of life after death. Because people cannot accept that.

death is the final thing. Kaya ang daming religion. Kaya ang daming...

Anyway, controversial opinion na yung susunod ka sasabihin. But, yeah. Okay?

So, pag-uusapan natin yung religion, more on religion, sa terror management theory, which is literally a theory about fear of death and how it affects our personality. Okay, so in old age, this is also the time that we merge everything from the conscious to unconscious, personal conscious and collective unconscious, complexes and archetypes. And upon doing this, we are actually being rebirthed, psychological rebirth, also called the self-realization.

This is the process of becoming an individual or whole person. So as I've mentioned, When we were born, we were fragmented and we are more focused on our conscious. And then as we grow old, we explore our unconscious. And if we are successful in merging the archetypes within us and the complexes and the personality types that we have, we will be more time-whole.

We will be more built as a person. Because there is always a lack in the human being. And that lack, sometimes we fill it up in so many different ways. Like like joining other people, joining a cause, joining, marrying someone, or joining a religion. That's well and good, but again, self-realization, it's not more of the external world only.

It also involves the internal world. And the internal world means the unconscious, the archetypes and the complexes that we have. Actually, those archetypes, we all have our dominant archetypes and our dominant archetypes is the sources of our complexes and our personality types. For example, do you know what your dominant archetypes are? So if you're not familiar with your dominant archetypes, one...

informal way of knowing your domain archetypes is look at the films or movies or novels that you're reading, watching, or listening to and sinong character yung parang talagang nag-resonate sa inyo. Hindi naman yung ibig sabihin na favorite character, no? Ibig sabihin, or yung crush nyo na character, yung bias nyo na character.

What I mean is yung parang talagang nag-resonate na kung If I'm part of the cast in this book, I'm the character. We have that kind of character, right? We have that kind of tendency to like certain characters. And you'll notice it's consistent. For example, in a novel, this character is the one you really relate to.

And then in a novel or anime, that's the character you relate to. So there's something there. it might be the case that that is your dominant archetype. And if you're familiar with archetypes, you can also somehow sense the other archetypes of other people. For example, there are some students, I'm a teacher so I always look at students, I interact with students.

And sometimes I... I notice or I sense what archetypes they have, what dominant archetypes they have. There are other students who are very motherly.

The motherly students usually have a great affinity for their great mother archetype. And then there are some students who are very quiet, they don't care about what's happening. But you know that they are the behind.

sa lahat ng nangyayari sa room, sa classroom. So yun yung mga students na yun, yun yung mga trickster. Yun yung mga nagpapanggap na mahina sila, nagpapanggap na hindi sila ganun kaano, pero in reality, sila pala yung nagkokontrol ng buong classroom.

So trickster yung mga yun. Meron din naman yung mga wise old man type. Yung mga, usually yun sila yung bastion of wisdom ng school or ng room.

May mga ganun. And you can sense that if you are familiar with the archetypes. I'm somehow familiar with the main archetypes although there are so many like trickster, engineer, wizard, mage, swordsman, hero. There are a lot of them. And to know more about your archetypes, you can look on your history of the characters you like.

That's one way to know more about your archetype because knowing more about the dominant archetype that resides within on you will help you in your self-realization. Not only that, Kapag alam niyo yung archetype niyo, yung reverse side ng archetype na yun, usually yun yung shadow niyo. Yun yung part ng pagkataon ninyo na hindi niyo gusto or hindi niyo gusto ipakita.

And as I've mentioned in our lessons on archetypes, facing your shadow or confronting your shadow is the first step. The first test of courage in self-realization. So once you've, syempre, in knowing your...

in fighting an enemy, first, you must know your enemy. Although, the shadow is not necessarily an enemy. It's just a part of you that you need to assimilate, that you need to absorb, that you need to embrace.

You can talk to your shadow. You can say something about your shadow and then your shadow can say something about you. Or, you can ask him, or tatanungin kanya bakit mo siya ayaw, kailangan mo siya sagutin. And kapag tatanung, pag sasagutin kanya, kailangan magkaroon kayo ng understanding that you need both, you need each other or something like that. So of course, it's very different for people, from people to people, okay?

So, but the theme is you need to confront your shadow because this is the first step. And in confronting your shadow, you can always gather help. you can always have You can always ask for the help of other archetypes within you.

Your different personality sides or even your friends or even your therapist if you have. Okay, so that's how it is. Confronting your shadow, merging all your archetypes, merging it to your conscious and then you combine your complexes. Usually, the complexes also come from the archetypes.

So when you face your archetypes, it will also follow to face your complexes. So once you do that, once you did that, once you're successful in recognizing, acquainting, embracing, and accepting those archetypes, you will then experience psychological rebirth. You will become a self.

You will have a whole person. But according to you, this self-realization is rare? No. It's only achieved by people who are able to assimilate their unconscious to their to the total personality.

I'm talking like I'm already self-realized but I'm not. I have a long ways to go. I have so many things in my unconscious that I need to confront as I go along with life because according to you, self-realization is a lifetime journey.

It will end once you die and I'm not dead yet so I'm still embarking on that journey. hero's journey. As Joseph Campbell says. If you know Joseph Campbell. That's where my video came from.

And by the way, Joseph Campbell is a fan of Jung. And Joseph Campbell is not even a psychologist. He is a literary professor.

That's how wide Jung's range is. Okay. So Jung's method...

By the way, do you have any questions first regarding what we discussed? Now let's move on to Jung's methods in investigation. So basically, Jung is a humanities enthusiast.

He didn't just study psychology, he also studied sociology, anthropology, philosophy, mythology, religion, and even biology. Since he has training in becoming a doctor. So in studying human personality, since if you want to know more about humans, psychology is one side. you have to know the whole again the wholeness and then to know more about the complexes of a person he employed what we call word association test now until now official in which you will say a word and the patient will say a word that that he or she thinks after hearing it. So what comes out?

word comes into your mind when I say mother. So the purpose of that is to uncover some complexes, the feeling-toned complexes. So the recorded each verbal response, and then the number of seconds before I responded, and the rate of breathing, and even galvanic skin response, or the sweating, something, right?

I'm not sure if that's the galvanic skin response. But I think that's it. So usually, he would repeat the experiment to determine the test rate. consistency. Okay?

So, yung word association, parang siyang free association, pero mas hindi siya free. May word. Next would be dream analysis.

So, like Kay Freud, meron din dream analysis si Jung. Ang pinagkaibin nila is, si Freud ang tendency niya, kapag meron kang komento sa kanya, for example, na panaginipan mo yung isang ahas, malaking ahas, thick snake, thick and long snake, thick and long black snake. So, Freud is the first one to say that it's a penis or something like that. And then, for example, the snake is eating itself, eating its tail.

You are orally fixated, Freud will say. Freud, what are you saying, Freud? So, it's not like that.

He said that the symbols are not sexual in nature. These concepts are not merely sexual ones. And there are many concepts that can be managed there.

For example, the snake that I've just mentioned just now is Ouroboros. The snake eating itself. I'm not sure.

What I know is that it's a sign of death and rebirth. Ouroboros. Circular symbol depicting a snake. It's a less common dragon.

Emblem of wholeness or infinity. It's infinity because if you can do it, or wholeness because you're whole with your body. It's also a symbol of alchemy or something like that. So that's right.

On Wikipedia, eternal cyclic renewal of cycle of life, death, and rebirth. And that is infinite. Cycles are infinite.

There's your, you can say that you're thinking about your self-realization. You want to become more whole in your life. That's why you dream of Ouroboros. So that's the Jung. Those are his Jungian concepts.

That's the Jungian dream interpretation. It's more of a cultural, anthropological, and sociological interpretations of the symbols that is in your dreams. Okay?

And it can help. in facilitating self-realization because you're also exploring the unconscious side of yourself. Next is active imagination. Active imagination, this is a method wherein a person is required to imagine. An impression, a dream image, vision, picture, or fantasy, and concentrate until that vision disappears, until that image disappears.

The purpose of active imagination is to reveal archetypal images emerging from the unconscious. You won't say what image you're thinking of, just what you think of first, and then you wait for it to disappear. So for others, if the client is an artist, he'll say he'll draw it. Usually, the... I feel like artists have strong unconscious.

Especially dreamlike artists, those who are very imaginative. Although there are artists who are very externally oriented, but it's still the same. It's hard to draw.

Or maybe it's just me. Why did I say archery? Why can't I draw? It's just stupid.

Anyway, so there. Active imagination. And in Jung's psychotherapy, unlike Freud, he didn't give any steps, counter-transforms, or step-by-step procedures. And in humanistic, there are more step-by-step procedures, especially with Carl Rogers.

But for Jung, he is very eclectic in his approach. It's like normal. For example, Jung's psychotherapy has four stages.

Usually, he only does it until the third stage. Very special cases yung fourth stage. Ano ba yung mga stages na yan?

So yung first stage, confession of pathogenic secret. Sometimes people just want to confess their problems. For example, yung mga kaibigan natin, kailangan lang na, sabi nila may problema sila, tapos ishishare nila sa atin. Tapos nung nagsishare sila, sasabi nila, hey bro, salamat, kasi natulungan mo ko.

Tapos ikaw na nakinig lang wala ka naman sinasabi, ah sige. You'll see that they don't give you advice. But for them, that is already enough because they just want confession.

And in confessing the problem, it's already cathartic. They release the emotion and it's already okay for them. So that's the first stage.

And then if it's not enough, if the confession is not enough, it will go to the second stage which involves interpretation, explanation, and elucidation. So for example, the problem of... The client or problem of kaibigan mo is lagi siyang bine-break or bine-break na naman siya ng boyfriend niya or nag-cheat yung boyfriend niya, girlfriend niya. And then lagi nalang nangyayari yun.

Siyempre hindi naman enough na i-share mo lang yung problem na yun, diba? Yung kailangan, bakit? Bakit ganun yung ginagawa ko?

Nung nangyayari sa akin? So in that way, the client will give or the therapist will give some interpretation. Or even the client, the patient insight into the causes of their neuroses but may still leave the plan. So sometimes the client will be the one who will realize what their problem is.

But with the help of the therapist. But of course, some people can be helped with this, when they know the cause, they know what to do. But there are some people who still don't know what to do, they still have social problems. So that's where the third stage of Adler's appearance comes in.

that you will give education to the patients to become more social beings, to develop social interests. So, he will develop his own, he will be better at choosing his friends, whoever his future partner will be. But of course, most of the time, it's okay. It's like a therapy part. You will change his behavior.

But there are times that it's not enough. Because the problem you solved is one side of his or her own problem in terms of his or her personality. And if that's the case, and the client is willing to have a total transformation of personality, then the fourth stage will enter, which is the transformation. So only after transformation and an established philosophy of life, Is the therapist able to help patients move towards individuation, wholeness, or self-realization? So, establishing own philosophy of life.

Because most of the time, we are just borrowing philosophies of other people, other groups, or our religion. Sabi niyong hindi daw enough yun. Kailangan daw gumawa tayo ng sarili nating philosophy of life.

And once we do that, dun tayo magkakaroon ng... That's where our journey towards individuation, wholeness, and self-realization started. That's why Jung's clients are usually middle-aged people. Because middle-aged people are his target market.

Jung was quite eclectic in his theory and practice of psychotherapy. Sometimes he doesn't just use psychological concepts. He also does bibliotherapy so that he can read stories or something. And then what you think about it.

Jung's method is very unorthodox. That's why he has a lot of issues. He's not a psychologist, he's an occultist, he's a cultist, something like that.

But he said, in the book, if you accuse me of being an occultist, you need to accuse Freud of being a sexual predator or sexual maniac. kasi parehas lang kami ng ginagawa in essence. Gusto ko yung burn na yun. So anyway, that's how Jung's methods are. Ganyan yung basic yung, basically yung therapy niya.

Depende sa client talaga kung ano yung gagawin niya. Kung kailangan doon ng client award association to solve the complex or kailangan lang ng kausapin. Kailangan lang ng talk therapy talaga or specialized techniques.

So, Critic of Jung. Of course, Jung is awesome, but I'm just biased about that. But the falsifiability is questionable. Again, this is common with psychodynamic theories.

It generated some ideas naman, like the MBTI, and it organizes data, especially not only data of psychology, but also data of philosophy. And then, mas marami sa literature, and then mythology and religion. Practicality a bit low because as I've mentioned this is a trend that most people do not fully grasp Jung's theory. I myself is not an expert in Jung's theory.

I'm just a beginner. I'm just scratching the surface of Jung's theory. It's still deep.

I haven't really dived. I've dived sometimes, but I know some people that are really nosedive. They're really in the depth of Jung's theory. So I'm just a fanboy.

I'm an enthusiast. I'm not that expert about you. So the practicality is a bit low.

He doesn't use everything. So internal consistency in persimony is a bit low too because the theory is complex. So many moving parts.

So if there are many moving parts, the consistency is really low. So the theory is not straight line. It's not straight.

It's not like the previous theory that's straight, that you were born like this, you're going to develop like this. It's like a web of ideas. So the simplicity and the consistency and simplicity or parsimony in this case is very questionable. It's too low. Because it's complex.

There are many moving parts and many ideas are connected. Okay? So in terms of concept of humanity, always in the middle ground.

Conscious versus unconscious, it's in the middle. Causality and teleology, it's in the middle. Free will and determination, predetermination.

It's a bit in predetermination but it still has free will. Because you still have free will to self-individuate or self-realize or nothing. Or if you self-realize, you won't be successful. Biological versus social factors, it's a bit of a link in biology but it's still almost the same. And then uniqueness versus similarity, same lang din.

Sa gitna lang din. Although sabi ng book niyo yata it's similarity. Pero hindi eh.

Kasi unique din naman yung mga tao para kay Jung. Kasi iba't iba yung personality types natin, iba't iba yung archetypes natin. So that's how Jung saw it. Jung's theory is neither pessimistic nor optimistic. Parang sinasabi niya nga may part sa buhay natin na dark, may part sa buhay natin na light.

And we have to accept those parts. So, very ano siya. Kung naghahanap kayo ng true or false, nasagot kayo yung walang ganon. Because it's always in the middle.

And that's why I like his theory. Because it's not definitive. You can, you can, kumbaga, man, flexible siya kung tutusin. Although some other people, kasi may tendency nga yung mga tao na they want a clear-cut answer in their questions.

But life is rarely clear-cut, no? A person is neither good nor bad. They have good qualities, they have bad qualities.

So saying that a person is good is unfair. Saying that a person is purely bad is unfair. because humans are complicated. Okay, so that's the theory of Jung.

Do you have any questions or clarifications? I'll stop the recording.
