[Music] science and technology and development science technology development science technology development [Music] in all of this science technology and development we seem to be moving along just fine humanity is progressing towards a new age of civilization just look at all the science technology development [Music] then one begins to look and not at all the science technology and development rather this one looks straight into the soul behind the thick shadow of outer progress as we continue to strive to master the world explore the cosmos one must ask what about the psyche what about Consciousness what is the purpose of outer progress if there is no soul in the matter one rare scientist Mystic or just a mere curious individual looked into a different direction than almost all around him Carl Jung knew what was most important in life and he made it his life work to provide an honest objective account on it before everything which we know as analytical or Yogi in Psychology was presented he experienced the raw nature of the psyche itself in his confrontation with the unconscious as he calls it Jung records his raw inner experiences in various Black Books and it is in the final book Black Book seven where we find sets of ruins which arise from within Jung's own depths a set of ruins without a connection to any known symbolic language as the translators of the Black Books wrote neither Nordic Germanic ruins or Egyptian hieroglyphs command the field but something other the language has never been taught before even during the first four years or so of Jung's experiment so it is through the Obscure where we're headed away from the so-called progress of today so we may glimpse into what the so-called has distracted us from because it is in the obscure individual by individual or life and meaning are found I bring forth a video on the runes to highlight not only the ruins themselves but the reality of the depths of the psyche specifically what Jung calls the unconscious a hidden deep layer of Consciousness unfamiliar to those playing on its surface and in order to grasp its energetic movement its Expressions its hidden meaning one must respect its symbolic language an obscure language and movement Jung spent his life uncovering in his final work man in his symbols Jung concludes part one the only section in this work attributed to him stating I have spent more than a half a century in investigating natural symbols and I have come to the conclusion that dreams and their symbols are not stupid and meaningless on the contrary dreams provide the most interesting information for those who take the trouble to understand their symbols the result it is true have little to do with such worldly concerns as buying and selling but the meaning of life is not exhaustively explained by one's business life nor is the Deep desire of the human heart answered by a bank account in a period of human history when all available energy is spent in the investigation of nature very little attention is paid to the essence of man which is his psyche although many researches have been made into its conscious functions but the really complex and unfamiliar part of the Mind from which symbols are produced is still virtually unexplored as young says this space is complex and unfamiliar while I'm not attempting to provide you the keys to the unconscious to give you a master symbol to grasp all symbols our journey into the ruins will uncover deep insights into the nature of the psyche specifically its enomatic expression but before getting into the ruins it is wise to gain background context on their arrival first we must look at the essence of the unconscious specifically its symbolic language additionally two figures show up in Jung's black book entries the first is a black magician named Ha who if one is familiar with the red book is the father of Philemon and it is ha who provides the ruins as well as his translation which will be the feature of this video while ha provides the rooms it is his soul the shadow of Philemon who provides hot rooms this figure is named Ka and plays a more significant role at the end of the Black Books following this we will explore the ruins I have set this portion of the video up so that Haas translations show up with the symbol or symbols in discussion making an easy Pleasant Visual and audio Journey Through the rooms to conclude I'll provide a few key points to highlight without providing any full translation on these rooms I believe it's best for all especially individual Consciousness to work through these ruins and come to the meaning on its own and when I say work through them I don't mean consciously figuring them out but rather letting them work through you so with our path set let's begin our approach for it is the function of Consciousness not only to recognize and assimilate the external world through the Gateway of the senses but to translate into visible reality the world within us a high regard for the unconscious psyche as a source of knowledge is not nearly such a delusion as our Western rationalism likes to suppose we are inclined to assume that in the last resort all knowledge comes from without yet today we know for certain that the unconscious has contents which would bring in immeasurable increase of knowledge if they could only be made conscious we begin with respect for the depths it would be an injustice to the unconscious to just flash up these runes and provide mere opinions to their meaning it is equally unjust to speak about this space without grasping its simple-making ability it was in the introduction where I quoted the translators to the Black Books remarking these ruins have no known connection to anything recorded in history with this fact we see the unconscious speaking on its own terms that is symbolically take the symbols too literally and you've trapped yourself ignore them and you risk the unpleasant experience of witnessing its expression without as young says the psychological rule says that when an inner situation is not made conscious it happens outside as fate that is to say when the individual remains undefided and does not become conscious of his inner opposite the world must perform act out the conflict and be torn into opposing halves just as it does in a dream the unconscious uses a medium to convey its message and that Medium is symbolic Jung says that the psychological mechanism which transforms energy is the symbol transferring say a potential latent unconscious energy into a form that can be experienced in conscious awareness the symbol the form the medium comes in all different modes of expression words are symbols dreams are symbols and so are specific shapes like rooms and while it's not a dream which these ruins came through Jung rather his active imagination it is all the same process of transference of inner communion it is said ruins of the old descriptive signs of the ancient Germans and the word roon means secret in high middle German while these rules are not related to the ancient Germans or hieroglyphs from Egypt or cuneiform pictographs from Mesopotamia or Chinese ideograms they are not to be thrown aside as some hallucination rather it should be viewed as a secret form of communication oneself to oneself as the term communication means to share or be in relation with it's truly a self-communion in the outer world we communicate by speaking writing typing and texting words an arrangement of certain characters or letters which come together to form a specific message a meaning to understand the sentence is not only to grasp each word in itself but also how they all come together as a whole but of course words can only do so much I'm sure you've had a time when you wanted to express something but couldn't seem to find the right words additionally words lose their magic the essence they point to when Consciousness specifically ego Consciousness distorts the meaning of Jung speaks about this in the red book as an inner figure the solitary one speaks I dug up old ruins and magical sayings for words never reach men words have become Shadows the beauty about the ruins is that they are completely unknown and foreign they're like a dream it takes another sense of logic to interpret a sense of logic that we've lost in the West this logic which is grasping a chaos and finding a hidden order is something Jung spent his life developing he speaks on interpreting dreams in symbolic language into quotes from his Collective works as for an attitude to go into the unknown young States and Collective work 18 the symbolic life therefore first of all when you handle a dream you say I don't understand the word of that dream I always welcome that feeling of incompetence because then I know I shall put some good work into my attempt to understand the dream what I do is this I adopt the method of the philologist Which is far from being free association and apply a logical principle which is called amplification it is simply that of seeking the parallels that is how we learned how to read hieroglyphics and cuneiform inscriptions and that is how we can read dreams Jung then adds in his Collective work 17 development of personality coming now to the much disputed question of frame analysis we proceed in a manner not unlike that employed in the deciphering of hieroglyphs first we assemble all the available material which the dreamer himself can give as regards the dream images we next exclude any statements that depend upon particular theoretical assumptions for those are generally quite arbitrary attempts at interpretation we then inquire into the happenings of the previous day as well as into the mood in the general plans and purpose of the dreamer in the days and weeks preceding the dream a more or less intimate knowledge of his circumstances and character is of course a necessary prerequisite great care and attention must be given to this Preparatory work if we want to get at the meaning of the dream I have no faith in dream interpretations made on the spur of the moment and concocted out of some preconceived Theory overall through these two quotes there are four points to quickly highlight points not only relevant for approaching these rooms but also approaching your own ruins your own inner symbolism first and I'd say most important is that attitude to take When approaching something obscure and unknown if you have your own theories your own beliefs your own prior convictions that X means Y is happening that this symbol has this meaning or any other assumptions then the work can never begin you get in the way there's a sense of pure awareness necessary before any meaning may be extracted an awareness that respects the symbol in itself as it is next Jung says to assemble all available material from the dreamer symbol wow some moments or images May stand out it is wise to capture the whole before looking at the parts if not you'll never have all the necessary parts to grasp the whole in this video not only will we be able to see all the rooms but also an interpretation of them by a figure in Jung's vision additionally on this point Jong speaks about applying a logical principle called amplification this is a practice of finding parallels to the unconscious content coming through Consciousness within mythology religion fairy tales or other historical content which stimulates a certain Collective archetype that may explain the ambiguous content Jung writes in Psychology and Alchemy this is why an analytical psychology we resort to amplification in the interpretation of dreams for a dream is to slender a hint to be understood until it is enriched by the stuff of Association and analogy and thus Amplified to the point of intelligibility another point to highlight is this look into the happenings of the previous day as well as the mood plans and purpose of the dreamer in the days or weeks preceding the dream as for Jung he was on military service four months before this entry so not much background information will be available and the final point to add is that one must have great care and attention as well as patience to allow the meaning to come forth this care requires a discipline to trust the process and not distort its unfoldment into Consciousness while an ego may want to get its hands dirty and solve the puzzle the true meaning reveals itself in pure soil one should be aware 10 the content amplify it a bit but should remain detached as if it were a seed growing within their consciousness but remember if you place this seed in a Consciousness with hard-line beliefs and opinions then the seed will be choked off and wither again and this is my opinion but through my own experience only pure Consciousness will allow that true seed to Blossom so with these four General points on how to approach anything obscure as well as some background information on the symbolic language of the unconscious we must explore two figures from black book Seven who are responsible for the rules Philemon and other figures of my fantasies brought home to me the critical Insight that there are things in the psyche which I do not produce but which produce themselves and have their own life the figures of the unconscious are uninformed and need man or contact with Consciousness in order to obtain knowledge through yong's Visionary experiences various figures arise representing different personality forms and movements in one's unconscious mind say the archetypes which have provided young light throughout his inner Journey and while Jung's figures may not be your specific forms it is their Essence which lies within the collective of all as I quickly discussed these two figures tied to the ruins keep your eye not only on their names in form but also and more importantly on their Essence see if you can catch these unconscious Essences or archetypes within you the first figure to examine is ha the black magician interpreter of the rooms October 7th 1917 this entry begins after Jung was on military service from June 11th to October 2nd during World War One he begins as he speaks to his soul my soul offerings have been brought willingness is attested submission has taken place so I see and accept it you have done what was required and you will do what is still required go your way without doubts any way that opens according to your ability Jung yet now what was it someone stood at the corner at night what does he want and who was he his soul responds a darker Spirit a spirit of deception a sorcerer of Satan an Adept of the blackest Magic Jung then asks his soul to let this darker Spirit speak Yong Saul says Taha the magician listen darker son of ancient Earth nephew of Mother's mud I call you come to the light of day ha comes into the light that is Jung's Consciousness and responds here I am surely you have not seen anyone like me surely I'm necessary Philemon my son is probably too weak should I help what do you pay so already we have a feel for this figure it approached as if a shadow within Jung standing in the corner at night and the Soul says that it's a darker son of ancient Earth a spirit of deception and an adapt of the blackest Magic this all points to a rather Earthly Shadow side of life another significant point to highlight for those familiar with the red book is ha himself says he's the father of Philemon here we see our first connection between this darker Earthly figure connected with the lighter Heavenly figure in Philemon more on this connection will follow one final point to add before continuing with ha is the fact that Jung asks his soul to speak to him as if Jung can't speak to it without his soul he asks she calls and heart comes through after Jung's Soul says you are too black too much of midnight too dreadfully earthy then follows we don't want to be stared to death by you finally gets hot to reveal some information as to why he's making his presence known to Jung what I want do you really want to know I feel like strangling yes strangling does that please you I feel like strangling a man this all leads to more information about this event there's a footnote in which describes Jung during this episode I was writing in my book and suddenly saw a man standing watching over my shoulder one of the gold dots from my book flew up and hit him in the eye he asked me if I would take it out I said no not unless he told me who he was he said he wouldn't you see I knew that if I had done what he had asked then he would have sunk into the unconscious and I would have missed the point of it I.E why he had appeared from the unconscious at all finally he told me that he would tell me the meaning of certain hieroglyphs which I had had a few days earlier this he did and I took the thing out of his eye and he vanished this entry continues with the inner dialogue between ha and Yong soul that expands on this footnote and we will pick back up on it moments before the ruins arise so after this brief feel for Jung's ha the true essence of the ruins lies in Ka October 22nd 1917. just as the human is nothing without a soul ha is nothing without its own soul it's rather interesting to see inner figures in the unconscious having Souls but this is not the only Paradox of this pair Kaz described as Philemon Shadow showing the Opposites of light and Shadow and effect in form within Jung says to him this attracts the dead if I'm too needy they draw me away from you there's one in this neighborhood the black magician's brother he prowls around me Jung answers what does he want his soul responds I don't know what he has or wants Jung then commands so then ask him his soul in response asks the dark figure what do you want black one come closer and speak before continuing I want to expand on an earlier insight and it's how these unconscious figures are felt the ego say you own himself consciously senses ha when this energy was first felt Ka on the other hand is not sensed by Jung but through his soul this is an important note for anyone doing their inner work as if they think they can power through it all they are mistaken true inner work requires other senses than what we can consciously will and as we will see without getting to the roots of something you'll never wholly grasp a thing and I am not saying to lose will that it's evil as of course it's an important part of the work without you almost conscious will who would never notice ha which may never lead to Ka but there are other things outside will which one must allow to come through must bow to to be whole to Young Soul the dark figure kaha responds I am the commencement of the soul I am ha but his other side I am his soul I gave him the ruins and the lower wisdom I am his Spirit he is gone and I remain I want to be with you Jung then asks his soul what is The Uncanny companion to us to which she asks what do you want with us car answers you must have me for you will still need me ha knows the outer I the inner he has poverty I wealth what does he know just his boring story of cones and Sons and serpents poultry wounds a golden seed Burns in his eye but my eyes are of sheer gold my body is black Iron I am heavy and lasts for eternities I know the meaning of the ruins hob lappers about them like a child just as in a dream one can point out various signs forms and symbols but the true hidden meaning is just below the surface and Ka is just this below as we get into the ruins how will go on just as Ka says offering some key points to know but as you will see there is much more work to be done to grasp the ruins a level of insight which is of the essence of Ka the entry continues as Jung interjects careful my soul he is uncanny he is exceedingly clever so you still come without a request what do you want Ka I ask for nothing more than I can accompany you I mistrust him soul I think that you should let him come along what ha said was not utterly stupid in his own way it was even arkly clever though blasphemous I admit that young Soul then asked ha are you hiding evil in your black heart no I don't even have a heart I am Iron through and through I'm cold that's all maybe that's something you can use soul did you hear he's cold and clever wouldn't that be useful so let him come along if he tells you what he knows Soul listen Carl you may come along on condition that you teach us what you know car I know what you need you need my mystery my mystery is the essence of all magic and that is love you are too warm How Could You radiate love you have it in you it does not radiate to others what does the ancient one and the white cloak say to you he speaks love and does not speak of it listen man you let yourself be robbed by your soul she forces you to give love then she rules Above All She Wants To Rule do not give too much love look at your goal and not at love then you will radiate love does Philemon have love no he radiates it let me come along I give you coldness which generates the warm radiance the entry continues with Jung asking his soul to see what Philemon has to say about this to which Philemon joins the dialogue between Jung his soul and Ka it is a beautiful exchange between the light and Philemon and its shadow and Ka but for the purposes of the ruins I want to keep focus on the essence of a car as a lengthy footnote provides key context in memories Jung recalled later Philemon became relativized by the emergence of yet another figure whom I called Ka an ancient Egypt the king's car was his Earthly form the embodied soul in my fantasy the castle Came From Below came out of the earth as if out of a deep shaft I did a painting of him showing him in his Earthbound form as a Herm with a base of stone and upper part of bronze high up in the painting appears at kingfisher's wing and between it and the head of car floats around glowing nebula of stars cause expression is something demonic about it one might also say mephistophilian in one hand he holds something like a colored Pagoda or a reliquary and in the other a stylus with which he is working on the reliquary he is saying I am the one who buries the Gods in Golden gems Philemon has a lame foot but was a waned spirit whereas Ka represented a kind of Earth demon or metal demon Philemon was the spiritual aspect or meaning Ka on the other hand was a spirit of nature like the anthroparian of Greek Alchemy with which at the time I was still unfamiliar Ka was he who made everything real but who also obscured the Halcyon Spirit the meaning or replaced it by Beauty the Eternal reflection in time I was able to integrate both figures through the study of alchemy the footnote continues in 1928 Jung commented at a rather higher stage of development where the idea of the Soul already exists not all the images continue to be projected but one or the other complex has come near enough to Consciousness to be felt as no longer a stranger but has somehow belonging nevertheless the feeling that it belongs is not at first sufficiently strong for the complex to be sensed as a subjective content of Consciousness it remains in a sort of no man's land between Consciousness and the unconscious in the half shadow in part belonging or a client to the conscious subject in part an autonomous being and meeting Consciousness as such at all events it is not necessarily obedient to the subject's intentions it may even be of a higher order more often than not a source of inspiration or warning or of Supernatural information psychologically such a Content can be explained as a partly autonomous complex that is not yet fully integrated the Primitive Souls the Egyptian are complexes of this kind and a final piece of this footnote concludes with notes from Constance long from a discussion with Jung focused on his understanding of the relation between Philemon and Ka the two figures on either side are personifications of dominant fathers one is the creative father Ka the other Philemon that one who gives form in law the formative instinct car would equal Dionysus Philemon Apollo Philemon gives formation to the things within elements of the collective unconscious Philemon gives the idea maybe of a God but remains floating distant and indistinct because all the things he invents are winged Ka gives substance and is called the one who buries the Gods in gold and marble he has a tendency to misprison them in matter and so they are in danger of losing their spiritual meaning and becoming buried in stone so the temple may be the grave of God as the church has become the grave of XT the more the church develops the more XT dies God must not be allowed to produce too much you must not depend on substination but if too little substance is produced The Creature floats cause sensation fill them on his intuition he is too superhuman he is zarathustra extravagantly Superior in what he says in cold while I can go on about car and I wouldn't be surprised to see his presence in future videos I do want to highlight this connection between Khan Philemon they are two sides to the same coin opposites where Kai represents an Earthly darker wisdom Philemon presenting a Heavenly lighter wisdom Philemon produces an idea and cop produces its substance and this entry as Jung's soul is in discussion with Ka Philemon provides his thoughts on Ka cause my shadow how could you do without him Ka may go with you as I do there is no one above who does not have his shadow below my light is strong and My Shadow is dark and to come full circle with this Philemon and connection we find them show up in a mandala Yong added in his commentary on the secret life of the Golden Flower an image that he reproduced from his patient during treatment this mandala is also found in his paper called concerning mandala symbolism where he wrote The Old Man corresponds to the archetype of meaning or of the spirit and the dark Catholic figure to the opposite of the old wise man namely the magical and sometimes destructive luciferian elements and to add to this mandala in Black Book one or this image and quota found there's a sentence which concludes the figure at the top is Philemon and the figure at the bottom is Ka now to close out this background on car I want to read the end of this entry which Ka first makes his presence known a foreshadow to the ruins of which we're about to explore after Philemon provides his thoughts on Ka to Yong and his soul he and his shadow begin to bicker back and forth to which Ka asks Philemon am I Bound to You Forever to which he then asks Yong won't you place yourself between me and Philemon your soul says to Jung don't do it think of the ruins Jung replies oh my faithful beloved soul do you know where my place is you daughter of the mother I recognize your motherly love you really don't want to release me but you know you will be where I am I say yes or no and you are always there let me decide for the sake of Eternal Beauty am I not the seed that lie between Shadow and light how can I be a man differently how can I love man differently my kind my kingdom is Earth and my kingdom is heaven how can I find peace If Heaven and Earth plummeted into one another let the Eternal ruins be fulfilled mine is the light and the Darkness the one which I unknowingly received Philemon gave back the other which I unknowingly was the shadow will take third belongs to me and is my life Philemon my son Blessed Be Your Life Ka my son Blessed Be Your Life with ha and Ka in mind we return back to October 7th 1917 as we remember the footnote describing a gold seed stuck in hazai only yong's Soul can get it out but she is holding off until ha Reveals His secret His science the ruins Soul it burns you let it go huh I can't understand despite the fact that you often saw it it's the runes I know them they are my work my science Soul that's it that's what I want that's what you have to teach us ha no never ever soul I wait otherwise you won't be released ha you devil why should that be the ruins belong to me and no one else you aren't too stupid I alone understand them what if you understood that I won't give them up never ever Soul does the grant of sand burn you ha I can't deny it but the ruins you can't use them anyway too damn smart a science for you look here these snatches what do you want with this and there is still a lot to them young so continues pushing ha you should read that to us ah do I know how I can't should I you won't believe me but look the two diagonals lead to the circle a straight line stands at the bridge and makes us step downwards and crawls like a serpent over two sons it then goes straight downward and coils itself and imitates the upper cone and has the sun in its belly this is underlined twice because it is important and behind it is a straight halt after that it stretches out two arms and would like to stand firm straight and draw out two suns toward it that's dirty isn't it but the lower cone has the dark sun in its belly and therefore one is horrified by it if it was a wheel which bore the cross in it it would stand still and still take the way of the serpent around the two suns that's what it says Yong Soul continues to push high for more explain that is incomprehensible ha you lack dirt your understanding has no dung in it the two diagonals however are you yourself the circle is the sun one has the Sun the other doesn't that's why you were diagonal however there must be one that stands straight and goes over the bridge but that leaves the two sons behind it and becomes straight that's why it has to go under again and quill around itself then it has the sun in the belly of the upper comb it would stay longer with this but the other Longs for the second son but the other sun is dark in the belly of the lower cone you see that he who is horrified at himself has the Sun as a head and as a wheel is entirely sun and goes straight on the Serpent's way and is no longer straight above but a small tail upward that is funny have you learned something answers that is something but you already sent us runes earlier you must read these to us ha damn you make me think but I am not stupid I am much cleverer than you see the two with different feet one Earth foot and one Sun foot which reached towards the upper cone and have the sun inside but I have made one crooked line towards the other Sun therefore one must reach downward meanwhile the upper Sun comes out of the cone and The Cone gazes towards it dejected about where it is going one has to retrieve it with a hook and place it in a small prison then three must stand together unite and twirl up at the top concentric with this they manage to free the Sun from its prison again now you make a thick bottom and a roof where the sun sits safe at the top but inside the house the other sun has also risen therefore you too were coiled up at the top and have made a roof over the prison again at the bottom so that the upper sun does not get in between the two sons always want to be together I said so both the cones each has a son you want to let them come together because then you think that you could thus be one you have now drawn up both sons and brought them to one another and you lean towards the other side that is important but then there are simply two sons below so therefore you have to go to the lower cone then you put the Suns together there but in the middle neither above nor below there are not four but two but the upper cone is below and there is a thick roof above and if you want to continue you long to return with both arms but you have a prison for two below for both of you therefore you make a prison for the lower sun and fall towards the other side to get the lower Sun out of the prison this is what you would like back and the upper cone comes and makes a bridge towards the lower takes back its son into it which had run away before and the morning clouds already come into the lower cone but its sun is beyond the line invisible Horizon now you were one and happy that you have the sun above and long to be with it above but you are imprisoned in the prison of the lower Sun that now Rises there is a halt now you make something quadrilateral above what you call thoughts a doorless prison with thick walls so that the upper sun does not leave but the cone is already gone you lean towards the other side long towards the below and coil up at the bottom then you were one and make the serpent sway between the Suns that is amusing and important but because it was amusing below there is a roof above and you must raise the hook upwards with both arms so that it goes through the roof then the sun below is free and there is a prison above you look downward but the upper sun looks towards you but you stand as a pair and have detached the serpent from you it is probably ruined for you therefore you make a prison for the below now the serpent crosses the sky above the Earth for itself you are driven completely apart the serpent wriggles its way throughout the sky all around the Stars far above the Earth at the bottom it says the mother gave me this wisdom are you content Jung Seoul answers not yet we still have other signs which you should read ha continues his interpretation there you have the lower cone again and you want to bring the upper and lower Suns together again you yearn for that but nostalgically you put them both together and long to return then you make a roof above the lower cone truly lock it up and get the sons back again and now bring them completely together and with this you yourself are doubled I.E instead of one you are four and split that is why you must fetch out the sun again namely towards the below and from this the longing towards the above will grow in you you lift yourself over the line of the earth and Tumble over that is why you long suddenly for the below and want to lift it up from the below because you hang from the upper line you want to be one and stand straight that is why you make a line in the middle you walk on the earth and then up above and go into the sky and as you go in this way the serpent creeps towards you above all the stars you are one you hold the serpent by the tail with one hand and with the other you hold the stars both are separate thus you stand straight and because you stand that way an ark grows on you on the other side since you were held back towards the left now you make a great prison below possibly for the stars and a cradle above possibly for the serpent you press the lid on the prison there you also have a prison above and the sun which is one looks towards you one of you is defiant and locked up below the sun has a Serpent's tail and is the serpent itself and the other Longs for the above and is not yet higher the Defiance of the below and the longing of the above come together a roof above and a floor beneath and you were one again or if you have managed to move the arc forward you make a bridge below and move towards the above and toward the below from the center or you separate above and below split the Suns again and crawl like a serpent over the one above and receive the one below you take with you what you have experienced and go forward to something new the serpent crawls below and above the sun is locked up the prison is open backwards and therefore the serpent crawls forward and Rises and becomes straight because you both are above now you take the sun within you and press it below in the middle therefore you are split which you don't like therefore you turn yourself forward and await something other and are one in there you have separated above and below the upper cone comes down there and draws the sun toward it and you creep up from below with great longing and are one in that moment the upper cone becomes strong since it has a young one or you make a protection against it and seek to make it small therefore you curl yourself towards the below that pleases you and you can't get well away from it therefore you must make a bridge towards being one and look forward then comes the great onefooted one and steps onto the Serpent's way between the two sons and turns back towards the below that is nice and funny you don't get free of it but the upper cone comes and pulls your arms forward below you long to return only much more keenly but you become doubled therefore you must become one you must separate above and below and go towards the lower Sun from above but there you were separated and you must make a bridge between yourselves then the upper cone again comes completely towards the below therefore there's a line above and it pushes you away below therefore one rushes forward since you have already become one there the upper cone comes and catches its Sun swallows it and it disappears you fall over and strive again you make a great prison below for the two sons or for you both in a third then the fire comes down mightily and attracts the lower cone to the above that draws you back and yet you long for the way forward namely towards the serpent that you have always liked so much because of the lower cone you long for the serpent above it crawls away to Heaven over the lower sun which stands in connection with the Earth but you must look further the above must go down and the below must go up and yet be separated there the upper cone leaves out its Dark Sun he longed for the lower sun behind you but it is below the floor because you long to return a hump grows on you in front you make a solid floor below and then curl around in the middle following this Rune Hostess to Young and his soul still not enough now for once you can finally understand foreign now however you make a bridge between you and the one who Longs for the below but the serpent crawls above and draws the Sun up then both of you move above and want to go to the upper but the sun is below and tries to draw you down but you draw a line above the below and long for the above and are completely at one the serpent comes and wants to drink from the vessel of the below but there comes the upper cone and stops like the serpent the longing goes forward again and afterward you very much long to return but the lower Sun pulls and thus you become balanced again but soon you fall backward since the one has reached out towards the upper Sun the other does not want this and so you fall asunder and therefore you must bind yourselves together three times then you stand upright again and you hold both sons before you as if they were your eyes you hold the light of the above and the below before you and you stretch your arms out toward it and you come together to become one and must separate the two sons and you long to return a little to the lower and reach forward towards the above but the lower cone has swallowed the upper cone into itself because the suns were too close therefore you place the upper comb back up again and because the lower cone is then no longer there you want to draw it up again and have a profound longing for the lower cone while it is empty above since the sun above the line is invisible because you have long to re-return downward for so long the upper cone comes down and tries to capture the invisible lower Sun within itself they are the Serpent's way goes completely above you are split and everything below is beneath the ground you long towards the above again but the lower longing already comes crawling like a serpent and you build a prison over her but there the lower cone comes up he longed to be at the very bottom and the two sons suddenly reappear close together you long to return there and come to be imprisoned then the one is defiant and the other Longs for the below the prison door opens the one Longs even more to be below but the defiant one above Longs and is no longer defiant but Longs for what is to come and thus it comes to pass the sun rises below but it is imprisoned and above three nested boxes are made for you two in the upper sun which you expect but you have imprisoned the lower one but now the upper cone comes down powerfully and divides you and swallows the lower cone this is impossible therefore you place the cones tip to tip and curl up towards the front in the center because that's no way to leave matters so it has to happen otherwise the one attempts to reach upward the other downward you must do this with effort since if the tips of the cones meet they can hardly be separated anymore therefore I have placed a hard seed in between tip to tip that would be too beautifully regular this pleases father and mother but where does that leave me and my seed therefore a quick change of plans one makes a bridge between you both imprisons the lower sun again the one Longs for the above and the below but the other Longs especially strong for what's in front above and below thus the future can become see how well I can already say it yes indeed I am clever cleverer than you since you have taken matters in hand so well you also bring everything home Under One Roof The Serpent and both the sons that is always most amusing but you are separated and because you have drawn the line above The Serpent and the suns are too far below this happens because beforehand you curled around yourself from below but you come together and into agreement and stand upright because it is good and amusing and fine and you say thus shall remain but the upper cone already comes down because it felt dissatisfied that you had set a limit above beforehand the above cone reaches out immediately for its Sun but nowhere is there a sun to be found anymore and the serpent also jumps up to catch the Suns you fall over and one of you is eaten by the lower cone with the help of the upper cone you get him out and in return you give the lower cone its sun and the upper cone it's as well you cover things as the one eye does who wanders in heaven and who holds the cones beneath you but in the end matters still go awry you leave the cones and the Suns for good to go and stand side by side and still do not want the same in the end you agree to bind yourself threefold to the upper cone descending from above I am called hahaha a jolly name I am clever look here my last sign that is the magic of the white man who lives in the great magic houses the magic which you call Christianity your medicine man said so himself I am the father are one no man cometh unto the father but by me I Told You So the upper cone is the father he has bound himself threefold to you and stands between the other and the father therefore the other must go through him if he wants to reach the cone I'll begin our interpretation with a quote from the introduction to the black books written by Sanu shamdasani once he Jung had come to view his fantasies as having more than personal significance he had come to see his undertaking as having wider revelance on October 16 1916 he wrote to his colleague the psychiatrists Alphonse Mater I must find the way through the unconscious people who have trusted me need my insight not only I myself therefore had to exclusively dedicate myself to this work which was very time consuming and terribly demanding in order to begin to grasp the runes I want to highlight a few key symbols Within but before I want to get into a myth that speaks directly on what we've just witnessed the myth is Odin of Norse mythology for those unfamiliar here's a quick summary at the center of the Norse Cosmos stands the great tree upper Branch cradle Asgard the home and Fortress of the Acer gods and goddesses of whom Odin is the chief yet drazil grows out of The Well of ERD a pool whose fathomless depths hold many of the most powerful forces and beings in the cosmos among these beings are the norns three sagacious maidens who create the fates of all beings one of the foremost techniques they use to shape fate is carving runes into jeg jaziel's trunk the symbols then carry these intentions throughout the tree affecting everything in the nine worlds Odin watched the norns from his seat in Asgard and envy their powers in their wisdom and he bent his will towards the task of coming to know the ruins since the ruins native home is The Well of urd with the norns and since the ruins do not reveal themselves to anyone but those who prove themselves worthy of such fearful insights and abilities Odin hung himself from a branch of yag jazil pierced himself with his Spear and peered downward into the shadowy waters below he forbade any of the other gods to Grant him the slightest Aid not even a sip of water and stared downward and called to the rooms he survived in this state tethering on the precept that separates the living from the dead for no less than nine days and nights at the end of the ninth night he at last perceived shapes in the depths the rooms they had accepted his sacrifice and shown themselves to him revealing to him not only their form but also the secrets that lie within them having fixed this knowledge in his formidable memory Odin ended his ordeal with a scream of exhaustion having been initiated into the mysteries of the runes Odin recounted then I was fertilized and became wise I truly grew and thrived from a word to a word I was led to a word from a work to a work I was led to a work equipped with the knowledge of how to wield the ruins he became one of the mightiest and most accomplished beings in the cosmos he learned the chance that enabled him to heal emotional and bodily wounds to Blind his enemies and render their weapons worthless to free himself from constraints to put out fires to expose and banish practitioners of mevolent magic to protect his friends in battle to Wake the Dead to win and keep a lover and to perform many other Feats like these this myth is a beautiful analogy to what we've covered throughout this video so with that I'll add some symbols and ideas to look towards when interpreting the ruins as we proceed to the conclusion of the video before discussing cones and circles I do want to bring forth a quote in Jung's collected works that is fitting for what ha just translated in the work titled structure and dynamics of the psyche Jung writes since the psychean matter are contained in one in the same world and moreover are in continuous contact with one another and ultimately rest on irrepresentable transcendental factors it is not only possible but fairly probable even that psyche and matter are two different aspects of one and the same thing the synchronicity phenomena point it seems to me in this direction for they show that the non-psychic can behave like the psychic and vice versa without there being any causal connection between them our present knowledge does not allow us to do much more than compare the relation of the psychic to the material world with two cones whose a piece is meeting at a point without extension a real zero point touch and do not touch the previous quote brings us to a symbol Within the Ruins which come up throughout his interpretation the cone or cones represent two opposites say upper and lower or Heaven and Earth or on the quote I just read mind and body opposites are not different as one cannot be without the other for example there is no up without a Down and this is different from saying there cannot be an up without a left as up and left are not opposites rather they're different just as the color gold is different from Blue so while up may have many things that are different from it there's only one other that makes it its opposite and that makes opposites quite unique and much of Jung's psychological work as well as one's own existence proves the opposing nature of the psyche and we should thank these opposites as difficult as they can be to Bear because in my humble opinion without the Opposites there will be no life no energy no vibration no consciousness in addition to cones we see circles or Suns brought up frequently throughout the ruins usually a circle or sun is attributed to God or in this case Gods one could even say psychic forces and it's important to note that each cone has its Sun at specific Force and with these two simple facts to keep an eye on another listen to The Ruins may start bringing more information within you forth to explore and while looking through these cones and circles in the ruins one may notice a movement and the resulting effects from it and it is just these movements that I want to quickly discuss if there was ever something which is still yet moves it is consciousness we discuss the Opposites and their significance providing Consciousness it's consciousness and it is just this idea which comes up throughout the ruins it is a bit more subtle than saying the upper cone of the Sun as ha doesn't mention the movement specifically but if you take a look at the ruins as a whole it is one movement they're scenes say scenes of Consciousness moving itself we see the ego the unconscious and various other psychic forces such as the serpent playing out these movements throughout the rooms when listening back to the ruins key and on key words such as longing or drawing or making a prison or any type of movement a quick and simple example of this can be found in room four ha says you lift yourself over the line of the earth and Tumble over that's why you long suddenly for the below and want to lift up from the below because you hang from the above in this short sentence we could see an ego consciously moving its way this archetype of movement can play out in a million different forms but the beauty of these ruins is it's showing its archetypal movement the essence so we could see in this one short example how we can find such archetypal movements of consciousness besides these movements there are also positions in the first ruin especially we see two positions diagonal and straight as well as this idea of straight continuing in most of the rooms this seems rather straightforward diagonal being off balance and straight in Balance but I want to look back at the first Rune where we see a moment of straightness becoming the cause for a recoil the two diagonals whoever are you yourself the circle is the sun one has the Sun the other doesn't that's why you are diagonal however there must be one that stands straight and goes over the bridge but that leaves the two sons behind it and becomes straight that is why it has to go under again and coil around itself then it has the sun in the belly of the upper cone it will stay longer with this but the other Longs for the second son for one to leave two sons behind it could be seen as the ego striving into the world without a sense of its forces itself of Shadows of its roots and it's forced to re-return coiling around itself resulting in the sun in the belly of the upper cone but it's other say the shadow Longs for the other sun the sun below you can see in this example that one went over the bridge and it became straight but since it left the sun's behind it had to recoil why I point this out is because these ruins are not as straightforward as one would hope them to be but again sitting with them and allowing them to come through will help capture their enigmatic meaning overall I believe this is a great exercise for Consciousness a true mental yoga on the Opposites I know as I meditated on the runes I began seeing the ruins play out in various scenes they became alive and I could see how the manifestations the forms or myths which may result from certain scenes may be endless again these scenes portraying archetypal psychic movements and speaking on this idea of movements and mental yoga I found the translators of the Black Books highlight just this point in a section of the introduction titled translating yong's ruins to which Martin Leapster John Peck and Sanu shamdasani wrote the skeptic scoff at ruins objecting that whatever projections one might bring to such symbols they are arbitrary yet a handful do resemble certain bodily postures or stances which could be described as a form of ruined yoga one justifiably supposes however that Jung's respect for their shapes is warranted if only because the myth about their origin and Wilton's sacrifice of himself to himself cast them as a donum day a gift of God emerging as they do in his act of imagination with ha translation from a runic Primal layer gives weight to these signs as basic to the human psyche run yoga in this light emerges from the black books as a means to sort out such autonomous creative psychic events such events are difficult to understand but the burden of misunderstanding is greater a symbol in roon yoga is nearly the same as what it pictures one it is understood as the mimicry of a right attitude on the level of both spiritual and Instinct both being arkly rooted both being archaically rooted another point I'll add that helped in my approach to these ruins was actually drawing them out while it is Ka the soul of ha who provides these runes and dresses the Gods in Marble adding matter to Spirit there is something to writing these ruins out and creating them into matter yourself while you don't have to go to the lengths of carving them in stone although it may be powerful just a simple pen and paper may get new insights flowing and finally I want to say something that I've said in previous videos as well as earlier in this video and that is that the inner work is paradoxical to even call it work as a miservist because most of the time it's not the actual work you do that is using your mind and knowledge to figure things out it's about merely becoming familiar with what's in front and allowing it to complete the job that's the work and that's how these ruins should become clear to you being Odin hang with them don't let yourself get in your own way this is why I haven't tried to add any more opinion or break down the ruins section by section if Yong is speaking from the collective if these ruins are from that Collective of us then it is in us all and should begin to see itself I began this video with a specific message a message which this video continued to play off that is the fact that we've lost the ability to see in the dark to look past the illusion into the truth of the matter the soul the psyche is a space to be respected as it is while the thoughts feelings and Visions which arise from this space may go against anything you've ever imagined without it you're in a category few would want to venture that's being soulless so rather than a flashy conclusion a nice little synchronicity an exciting story I'll leave you with a simple question our age should truly be asking what's the point in outer progress what's the point of all this technology if there's no soul in the matter I hope this video helps one catch the point of yong's work he's not asking you to follow him to call for KA ha or any of the figures Jung experienced rather use his experience as a means to realize your own Darkness your own unconscious your own forms so that it may have a channel to come through Jung speaks of living life throughout the red and black books and this is the life he lived not only outside but also Within a life all may live if one just puts a little soul in the matter I thank you all for the continued support and look forward to reading the comments on your thoughts on the ruins please like and share this video to help this content reach others and until next time stay humble [Music]
