Radio 4 is a great place to find different articles. Recently they have been airing a series entitled What does it mean to be me? I listened to four separate talks on this issue.
The one that stuck with me the most was: Philosopher Jules Evans on Jung and the mind. Jung thought the unconscious was a shadow (part we don't like), place of human darkness but also a seat of human creativity. He believed that you should face/ embrace the unconsciousness and face your shadow. Jung believed "To see is a possessive kind of sense, you want to get hold and make it your own. But to listen, you have to take in and make something of itself - listen deeply". This is interesting in relation to my films, perhaps the sounds is more important to what is being shown. "We are so full of fears and apprehension...need more understanding of human nature. The only danger that really exists is man himself. He is the great danger. We know nothing of man". Jung believes that fables, stories and myths are our way of confronting the shadow. There needs to be hope in stories. Man cannot stand a non meaningful life. We need to overcome our will for power.
