The Undiscovered Self pdf

Carl Gustav Jung, is a Swiss psychologist and founder of analytical psychology. Young says his intellectual life began with a dream he had at the age of three. He received a scholarship at the University of Basel to study medicine and his father died at the age of 20. Jung loved university life and devoured philosophical works, especially the works of Kant and Nietzsche, in addition to medical books and references, and he studied spirituality and supernatural phenomena. Young became a member of the Society for Public Speaking and Debating called the Zuqengia Club. Young was able to reveal something that was admired and appreciated by all: the human spirit. His ideas advocated the existence of two directions of the soul. One towards life affairs and the other towards the realm of spirituality. There, some things happened to Young and Young thought he should attend the necromancy. For two years, Young had been attending these sessions, with his cousin Helen Preswork being her psychic, and her late father, Samuel Preswork, being her mentor. And he stopped going to those sessions when Helen started to get caught up in these invocations and Young didn't know Helen was in love with him and everything she did to get his attention. Thus, Young had two personalities. The first character was immersed in life matters, and her feelings could explode in any emotional situation. As for the second character, she believes in superstitions and the world of the paranormal, as Jung felt that he was connected to the other world. He searches for the nature of that strange thing that enters the body at birth and leaves at death, and this led him to realize that his desired goal is psychiatry, which, starting in 1890, he began studying as a science and a profession at the same time. Jung began training in psychiatry in 1900, when he became an assistant at the Bergolslie Mental Hospital, a clinic attached to the University of Zurich and was under the direction of Dr. Eugene Blölru. Young's research continued under the supervision of this doctor until Jung developed in this field.

The Undiscovered Self pdf by Carl G. Jung

One of the world’s greatest psychiatrists reveals how to embrace our own humanity and resist the pressures of an ever-changing world.
In this challenging and provocative work, Dr. Carl Jung—one of history’s greatest minds—argues that civilization’s future depends on our ability as individuals to resist the collective forces of society. Only by gaining an awareness and understanding of one’s unconscious mind and true, inner nature—“the undiscovered self”—can we as individuals acquire the self-knowledge that is antithetical to ideological fanaticism. But this requires that we face our fear of the duality of the human psyche—the existence of good and the capacity for evil in every individual.
In this seminal book, Jung compellingly argues that only then can we begin to cope with the dangers posed by mass society—“the sum total of individuals”—and resist the potential threats posed by those in power.
