Why is it that we often know what we need to do – and still remain stuck?
We’ve read the books.
We’ve analyzed the dreams.
We’ve gained the insight.
And yet… we don’t move.
This video explores the deeper psychological and archetypal forces that create this painful gap between knowing and doing. Through a Jungian lens, we’ll meet the Shadow Magician – a powerful inner figure who can hijack our clarity, fragment our will, and keep us paralyzed behind the illusion of knowledge.
We’ll explore:
– The four core archetypal energies of the psyche
– How the Shadow Magician splits into The Innocent and The Trickster
– Why some of us escape into intellect while avoiding embodiment and responsibility
– How to begin bridging the divide between insight and action
– Practical and symbolic ways to engage the resistance, and begin living what we know
Let’s move together from paralysis to participation,
from knowing to becoming, from inner division to greater wholeness.
