The Desire Not to Exist After Awakening and Ego Death | Carl Jung

There is a phase after spiritual awakening that almost no one talks about — the moment when the ego dissolves, meaning collapses, and a quiet desire not to exist appears. You’re not suicidal. You’re not depressed in the way the world understands it. You’re simply no longer identified with the old self that once chased life. And that changes everything. In this video, we explore ego death after awakening and the strange, unsettling neutrality that follows it, through the lens of Carl Jung’s depth psychology, nervous system regulation, existential psychology, and ancient spiritual traditions. Why does existence suddenly feel unnecessary after awakening? Why motivation collapses. Why old ambitions feel hollow. Why the world looks the same — but feels completely different. This is not a surface-level spiritual talk. This is a deep psychological and spiritual excavation of what really happens when the ego falls faster than the new self can form. If you’ve ever felt detached from life, tired of existing without wanting to die, or trapped between two identities after awakening — this video will put words to what you’ve been living. #carljung #jungianpsychology #spiritualawakening #egodeath
