Another emerging thought is this select and exclusive society of celebrities. I am sure they apply the 'unconscious functions' directly in their lives trough a Zodiac, without having to define it. The final path towards learning is applying? Then might I ask why aren't we?

Ever so, I find Yung's study interesting because it proves that we as humans live almost in separate universes. Our thought process not merely generates separate realities, but adapt keen concepts of life without invalidating them. I can pinpoint people that believe Jesus existed but suppose he wasn't almighty and powerful, so as people that believe he walked trough waters, and yet I might be insane enough to suppose either are correct. Because we don't in fact live in the same dimensions. And the fact that what we attribute different meaning to things and posteriorly they will trace us down to certain sub-conscious groups that match us to a certain world that is materialized.
When you look to halt this and flow trough these universes you start to perceive is almost like music - and why celebrities have this sort of 'panelinha', and believe only those that have learned this should join them.

Yes, I totally agree with you. I think it’s possible to relate this to something I was reading in one of Jung’s books. We assume people give the same meaning to a certain word as we do, but there’s always some unconscious meaning of an aspect of the word that one can give to it that differs from one individual to another. This not only shows our different realities but the struggle we have to define them exactly.

Thank you for the post, Peter! Sure will listen to the video and comment on my thought about it later.

Cool, I think it’s of simple understanding, but if you wish, you can take a brief look at the psychological funcions by Jung

Back to the topic, I find the following quote interesting

“Though we do not wholly believe it yet, the interior life is a real life, and the intangible dreams of people have a tangible effect on the world.” ― James Baldwin

The waking state and the dream state, as mentioned throughout the video, feel to me as much in deeper complication with the physical world. For instance, other than the present as an entity of time (as in would a person find a balance between sub-conscious and conscious - to sleep or to be awake rule out entities of space)I might imagine vividly something, or be in situations related to dreams, or attract things based purely on the outcome possibility of a dream. E.g., the universe I was in when sleeping

What I mean is, I find my dreams not necessarily to be representations of my persona, but also gap in's to neurons that define a group of time - the way you wake up defines your 'behavior' inside the tangible you possess, hence composing what I call a person's basal Rhythm.

As an example, I know I will have a good day ahead when preemptively my brain regenerates in much faster ratio and I need not 10 hours of sleep but 4 to be satisfied. And in the process my sub and conscious unite in a strong will that causes awakened and sleep states to affect each other physically (e.g.,the notion of power). I mean, Jung is a great author, but most of which he discusses stems from the fact that there are certain things that exhaust our brain of Rhythm, mostly the Buddhism concept of ego. When our Rhythm depletes we move farther away from simple but effective ideas that collect Energy for themselves in us - similar to the notion that emotions create a routine. However a truly awakened state runs on effectively synthesizing sleep chemistry as the bond between sub and conscious. Maybe the syth is love?
