Hello Brothers and Sisters!
This video includes Carl Gustav Jung’s 1936 essay, Yoga and the West, exploring the complex relationship between Eastern philosophies, especially yoga, and Western thought. Jung examines how yoga entered the Western consciousness, starting with early introductions by scholars like Max Müller and the influence of movements like Theosophy. Jung addresses the Western split between science and religion and how this division affected the adoption of yoga practices. Jung critically assesses yoga’s integration into Western culture, emphasizing that while yoga offers profound insights, its full essence may not be suitable for Western psyches. The essay is a compelling reflection on cultural, philosophical, and psychological differences between East and West, urging Western individuals to understand their own nature before attempting to adopt practices like yoga.
This exploration provides a deep analysis of yoga’s influence on Western spiritual and intellectual development, posing the question: Can Westerners truly embrace a system born from vastly different cultural roots?
I strive to mediate the profound light that Jung himself brought forth through his work and life. It is part of my life’s purpose. In many ways, we modern humans have lost touch with the core of our being—our psyche, our soul. Jung guides us back to that source in a way uniquely suited to our modern consciousness. Through his teachings, I have found the most meaningful path toward realizing my own potential for wholeness, joy, maturity, and creativity.
Jung mapped the inner world with remarkable clarity, revealing where our psyche and civilization stand and what is necessary for our individual and collective growth. With his guidance, I hope we can keep our inner flames burning in the midst of the darkness that surrounds and inhabits us, thus promoting in our world and selves – health, courage, and reflection.
