“Man, all too proud, figures that he is the master of his movements, his words, his ideas and himself. It is perhaps of ourselves that we have the least command. There are crowds of things which operate within ourselves without our will.”
Pierre Janet
Is it the link to god, the realm of darkness and violence, the source of all creativity, or the region of our untapped potentials? The unconscious mind has been many things to many people and much about it still remains shrouded in mystery. But what do we know about the unconscious? What role does it play in our life and what are its powers? In this video, the first in a short series, we are going to explore these questions, questions that have long fascinated mankind:
“How does one come to terms in practice with the unconscious? This is the question posed by the philosophy of India, and particularly by Buddhism and Zen. Indirectly, it is the fundamental question, in practice, of all religions and all philosophies. For the unconscious is not this thing or that; it is the Unknown as it immediately affects us.”
Carl Jung, Structure and Dynamics of the Psyche
