You’ll Never Look at Pleasure the Same After This — Carl Jung

Have you ever indulged in a moment of gratification, only to find the feeling of emptiness lingering afterward? The profound insight of Carl Jung suggests that much of what we label as everyday "pleasure" functions essentially as a psychological sedative—a strategic method employed by the mind to bypass inner silence, suppress the unacknowledged aspects of the self (the "shadow"), and postpone confrontation with the person we have avoided becoming. This presentation reveals the mechanism by which today's relentless distractions are cunningly disguised as genuine fulfillment, sheds light on the deliberate reasons behind your cravings, and demonstrates how unconscious engagement with momentary joys ultimately compromises your most profound potential. The objective here is not to advocate for the abandonment of things you genuinely find delightful. Rather, it is an invitation to reassert your autonomy to select enjoyment consciously—moving beyond the compulsive need for it as a means of emotional survival. What you require is not an intensification of external stimulation. You require a more profound connection to your internal presence. Release the insistent clamor of the outside world, and make the decisive return to your authentic self. 🔗 Link to the video: •    • You’ll Never Look at Pleasure the Same Aft...   💡 Support our channel: LIKE and SUBSCRIBE •    / @ordoabchao-us   #philosophy #psychology #stoicism #mindset #stoicphilosophy #ordoabchao #stoicismphilosophy #shadowwork #CarlJung #PleasureIsPoison #DeepHealing #PsychologyOfPleasure
