You are doing a great job for humanity making these videos. I especially appreciate your deliberate choice of words in which I think you can gather the influence Jung has had in your thoughts, and I'm always a fangirl for Jung. Also is beautiful that you always manage to anchor everything in what feels like a marriage between everyday affairs and the psychology and metaphysics of spirituality

What an incredible video! So rich in detail and wide reaching. Great work.
Makes me think of Petersonās highlighting of the common misapprehension of the Christian term āmeekā. Meek does not mean weak, kind and placid. Instead, he contends, it should be thought of someone who knows how to wield their sword, but keeps it sheathed. That one should work on their strength, power, boundaries, capability. But crucially also their level-headedness. Their critical thinking and empathy.
I think this is summed up in the word temperance. But maybe also forgiveness. Following the perfect flight path, as Icarusā father does, may not be possible at all times. But is a goal to strive towards maximising our flight time at the correct altitude.
A truly beautiful video. A lot to chew on. Thank you! ā¤

Ego is like the shadow, it is needed, you just have to learn to control it. I also think that is the true enlightenment.

I've always favoured Zaphod Beeblebrox's philosophy:
"If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now"

Omg "I is the Enemy" with Ali G @ 3:40
Priceless š¤£

What an essential topic to do a bit of house cleaning in! Well spotted. I've found it really valuable to get sharp definitions and perspectives on the ego. I really think the kernel of our problems lies somewhere in the intersection between the western (Christian) worldview and the Buddhistic world view of the east. So thank you for the video, it was wonderful - loved the artworks! <3

You rule, man i wanted so badly a redemption of that word :) Cheers on the channel!
Back on the subject, it so beautifully how Spinoza describes why one should first think of himself or herself (or whatever the self may be :)). Actually Not that we "should" first think of ourselves but that this is somehow the only way our nature works. As we all can guess, Spinoza is way too adequate on expressing and providing this than me :) So if you allow me a tiny recommendation here: In my opinion Spinoza's Ethics (the adapted version) is one of the best rational explanations of what "god" may really mean to a human being.
Keep the good stuff happening and may everyone reading this have a great life! :) Cheers for the channel ones more :)

Fitting video to what im reading currently.
Edinger in his "The Christian Archetype" quotes Jung as follow: "Exposure of the ego to such unconscious forces always generates some degree of possession or identification, even if only partial and temporary. Also the transformation drama cannot unfold without the ego's succumbing to 'necessary error' (felix culpa)." with the follow footnote 4. "Egocentricity is a necessary attribute of consciousness and is also its specific sin." (Jung, Mysterium Coniunctionis, CW 14, par. 364)

Reminds me a lot of the book Ego and Archetype by Edward F. Edinger. He emphasises the importance of the Ego-Self Axis, so to speak to put the Ego in its proper function. He also mentions the Ikarus/Deadalus Story as a form of ego inflation and many more (Myth of Phaeton and Ixion). I personally find a reconciliation of the buddhist non-self teaching and the perspective of the proper Ego-Self Axis difficult, since the buddhists are absolutists in that regard. The closest I come to a perspective I feel ok with, is the perspective of the divine play. To engage with life, to take it serious enough to play a role in it, but also to see that it is ultimately a game and getting too serious about it is a symptom of forgetting that we are playing.

This has been on my mind for weeks. Well done, brother.

I'm only halfway through but honestly, thank you for this video! I had kind of a crisis going on about the egoistic aspect of self improvement and you've given me wonderful new input.

I love how you slip in the phrase āThe ghost in the machineā. It makes me want to continue researching and question its difference with āThe body without organsā.

Ego is the most abused word in today's society. It makes me cringe when I hear it thrown around bc it has no clear meaning, just a bad connotation. Like you hear "you have a big ego", then "love yourself", then "he's full of himself" [negative], then "he's filled with a sense of self" [positive], then "be selfless", then "you lack confidence"

Yes, the word ego is used very loses in today's world. People who don't understand that the ego is themselves will never look at themselves to find answers to why they are the way they are. Great job and excellent explanations. š¤š¹

The understanding of Bhudism you express here, is limited to fundamentalist schools of Bhudism, " concrete operational". The Wisdom and Compassion schools point to the non duality of Being and Transcendance. I appreciate your good work and its accessability. Thank You.

Oh manā¦this video is a fantastic dive into a piece of the history of psychotherapyā¦
Ego being mixed in with the Buddhist idea of the selfā¦genius insight, my friend.
This is exactly what happened.
A side effect of globalization and dubious translations.
My mind is blown. You just added an important piece to a puzzle I didnāt know I was working on.

Only 5 minutes in and Im glad you made this vid.
I get "annoyed" (for the lack of a better of word) of people blaming ego for everything. Its often what I would consider the opposite that most people seem to lack - the ability to set/maintain boundaries and garner respect from people that causes people to act up and then blame their ego for acting out. Or in other words they mix up thinking going with the flow is being egoless but really thats probably just being non confrontational which Im claiming to cause them to bottle it up and explode which then they blame the ego and want to limit it further.
In trying to limit their ego, they actually attach themselves to trying to be identified as one with an egoless ego - which is one of the most egotistical things to do - noble? -> probably... but egotisical in the terms of iron gripping to an identity to define themselves by rather then more of the wu wei form of egolessness which in my head means letting ones ego be what it is or in other words an ever-changing and maybe more undefined ego or one that adapts to the situation. Basically having a more worry free ego (which still is one, because you cant really be ego free without temporary mind altering practices or brain damage or death I would think.)
Okay Im going to continue watching now, just wanted to get my thoughts out so I can concentrate on the vid more.

as the words evolved, 'ego' and 'I' are not synonyms, but 'ego' is a particular corrupted version or manifestation of 'I.'

Great video, what i have been understanding so far about New Age is what you said in the final chapter of the video, they say that ego or the rational mind, can be used for healthy and positive things, is it ok to have a sense of who you are, to love your family, but at the same time if you are too identified with it, can lead to all sorts of harm to your self and the people that surrounds you. "When we think about our love for our family and friends as part of this ego structure then it is harder to see it as unequivocally evil" that's because ego itself it's not evil, i think the core fundation of ego is to survive since our ancestors had been living in years of violence and war, that's why fear or rejection to others is associated with ego, ego does not like what it's not familiar, and that's ok, it's a tool that keep us alive till this very day, i think the idea is to know how to use it properly and not being dominated by it
