In this video, we explore why most people never survive their spiritual awakening, and how Carl Jung's teachings reveal the hidden crisis behind transformation. A real spiritual awakening doesn’t gently enlighten you — it dismantles your identity. You lose your beliefs, your purpose, even your sense of self. Carl Jung called this “the confrontation with the unconscious,” a process so intense that most people retreat, numb themselves, or return to the illusions that once made them feel safe. So why don’t most people survive their spiritual awakening? Because they resist the collapse. They resist ego death, the death of the false self. But as Carl Jung reminds us, there is no becoming conscious without pain. The very thing that breaks you is what sets you free — if you dare to stay. Through Carl Jung’s lens, we uncover the shadow work most people avoid, the inner collapse that feels like madness but is actually the soul’s desperate call to awaken. If you're in the void, if you're losing everything, you're not breaking — you're becoming. #spiritualawakening #egodeath #spiritualcrisis #shadowcollapse #carljung #soulawakening
