  Hey everyone — this video didn't get the reach I felt it deserved the first time around, so I'm giving it another chance to find the people who'll actually connect with it. The story of Jung and Freud's friendship — and how it fell apart — is one I care about a lot, and I think it says something real about intellectual loyalty, ego, and the cost of disagreement between people who once shaped each other's minds. If you're seeing this for the first time, welcome. If you watched it before, thanks for giving it a second look.

  Very relevant. Some of my best teachers have been my "enemies"....I have learned so much from "others". thank you, Andrew, for articulating this. I seem to bring people into my life to teach me, sometimes, hard lessons...Nothing is wasted. Nothing is in vane...we are one.

  Glad you’re keeping this one alive. &nbsp; This story is so important right now. &nbsp; Especially with the show Freud on Netflix. <br><br>Psychology is like the universe. &nbsp;The universe reminds us that the only constant is change. So therefore isn’t trying to make a fixed psychology structure like trying to make one map of an ever changing landscape ? 🤔 <br><br>(Feel like there’s a reframe of words for that , yet I think the point is there. )

  Thank you; this is great for psychotherapists in training. When a person faints being confronted is more about the unconscious overwhelming consciousness. This can also happen when a person is alone when their own insight is too hard to bare.

  Great video, I’m glad that you posted it again. I’m not sure that I agree with your conclusion, about the attempt of recreating a circle that had collapsed in the past. Same issue with the video commenting o the failure of Freud and Jung to keep complementing each other. Freud made it clear that he wanted an obedient son and tried to save his school through enforcing a dogmatic view that his younger self would have loathed. Jung also was clear that he wanted something else, he had to solve his own internal mystery. Freud was a tool that had outlived its use. It’s not a bad thing that those circles collapse to give room for the emergence of new ones. Same with friendships that died. Ego is of course involved during the break up but like your video showed, the reasons for such friendship to end are deep and more than valid. With time, why would you revive dead relationships if you got clarity about them? The only reason would be to give a proper goodbye, without any resentment, wishing the best to your former half, because they are not dead skin, they have become a layer of yourself.

  Thanks Andrew, excellent video.... nice clear description of ☯ in real life! I would like to say however that in seeking virtue (De) in life there are many who, whilst they may initially represent valuable insights as a complement to De, beyond this purpose of defining and clarifying what De is, are in fact quite harmful and should to be avoided as people who are really quite toxic. Of course this goes well beyond the value that can be gained by a difference in opinion!

  I am 67 and began reading Jung in when I was in college and have on and off read him ever since. &nbsp;I think he was really onto something. &nbsp;Freud, on the other hand, was hard to read and hard to grasp. &nbsp;It seemed like too much work, at least for me. &nbsp;Would be interesting to see what would have happened if they found Lao Tzu in 1905 or so. &nbsp;I have never had a single person who completes me. &nbsp;I sort of do not believe that is healthy (Shel Silverstein: The Missing Piece Meets The Big O). &nbsp;However, I have counterpoint people in different compartments of my life: At work, at sport, philosophically, in friendship and in love, but no single person in the entire scope of my life. &nbsp;I knew these two split and I thought it was due to a disagreement between them where Jung thought Freud was to closed off to what Jung was starting to see. &nbsp;Your video confirmed this and filled in missing context and historical facts. &nbsp;I think this is a good video.

  As I reflect on Freud’s life, I sense that the Christ impulse may not have found fertile ground within him at that time. I feel deeply grateful for the gentle guidance I have received through Rudolf Steiner, whose wisdom has illuminated my own path. It brings me peace to know that I am free to explore my inner world, without expecting others to walk the same road. I hold close the quiet reminder to honour our teachers, and then, with love, to find our own way beyond their footsteps.
