Decoding the Mind

The book The Earth Has a Soul: C.G. Jung on Nature, Technology, and Modern Living is a collection of quotes and excerpts from Jung on this topic. I read it last Summer when I had a lot of time to mull things over and absorb its contents. It turned out to be a very impactful book, and here are some thoughts (rant) that arose later on.

I owe the banks a LOT of money. But little do they know, I learned about MANIFESTATION.

When you look out at the world, you might think you are observing something outside of yourself. However, you can see nothing but your state reflected onto the external world. Notice how when you’re happy or sad, the same exact situation could mean completely different things. If your identity and experience are relatively stable over time, you might begin to think that the world is objective. In a sense, it is, for as long as you hold the objective worldview.

A good society cannot be built through misery. A long-running and wrong assumption is that the state of the creator and the essence of the created are disconnected. When in reality, there is a one-to-one relationship between the spiritual state of the artist and the art. And in the same way, between the engineer and the machine produced. Not necessarily contained within the physical object, as there are many steps between the design and production of a machine, but in the essence of that machine.

With the help of Carl Jung

I find myself listening with great interest to the troubles of others. When someone presents me with some conflict, I am surprised by how often the problem cannot be understood because of deceit or willful blindness. Whether it’s conscious deceit or staying silent when one needs to say something important, the lack of truth reveals itself to be at the core of many relational problems. Largely influenced by the wisdom of Jordan Peterson, the path forward I take is usually encouraging people to come face to face with the truth.

ft. Big Dick Platypus (BDP)

I first heard about Carl Jung back in 2017 from Jordan Peterson’s lectures on YouTube. At the time JP was at the center of controversy, I was spending all my free time annihilating his content, and it seems there were many doing the same. When I first heard JP speak I couldn’t understand him. His speech significantly differed from anything I had encountered before and I was mesmerized. Looking back, the feeling was this: when I normally hear people talk, their words strike true partially. But when JP spoke, I became aware that my entire being was resonating with his words. They felt deeply true, not like the

Listen now (23 min) | Our imagination is useful but can become a prison. The better we are at imagining the future, the more difficult it is to be aware of what is happening to us right now.

We carry in our minds ideas that are analogous to biological viruses. Ideologies that we download from an external source, without fully understanding them and judging them as good or bad or manipulative. These ‘mind viruses’, as I’ve started calling them, are present in most people and can be seen without any special powers. Mind viruses are counterproductive and often manipulative, contagious versions of ideas embodied as tools and technologies in the psyche. These are technologies learned from an external source, which we build our lives upon. Technology, as we are all well aware, can be used for good or for bad goals. Acceptance of others and their differences is a wonderful thing, but adapting another’s ideas is dangerous. And we often confuse accepting someone as the automatic adaptation of their beliefs and their psychological tools. Because people who have mind viruses are unaware that they have mind viruses and may argue vehemently that they arrived at their own conclusions, or they understand where the ideas well enough to adopt them. But the most effective and dangerous mind viruses, just like the best computer viruses, are sneaky and hide in plain sight. A virus that is clearly harmful, we can usually judge immediately as being harmful to the individual. But mind viruses that are sweet as candy on the outside, but bitter on the inside, are much more difficult to resist or to detect.
