Hey guys, welcome back.

This week we're going to discuss anima integration and how it's going to save your life.

These last two weeks we did mommy issues and then daddy issues last week and for these next two weeks we're going to do anima integration and the next week we'll do animus integration which is a slice of the parental issue.

There's a lot of overlap there with parental issues and anima integration, animus integration.

It comes down to how do you integrate parts to you that you don't perceive to be there.

They're in your unconscious.

And we know that they're there because when you don't integrate them properly, we'll get into it.

They're going to come up for you and take over your life.

And this is when you find a guy, even if he's knows a lot about women and knows a lot about relationships, you know, think of like the PUA guru guy.

If he has not incorporated his anima, first of all, he's going to end up with a girl he doesn't really want.

And then that girl is going to take over his life.

And it's not like he plans it.

It just happens when you don't pay attention to what you are.

So first, what is the anima?

It is the female soul residing in every male.

It is the yin and the yang, as Lao Tzu would say.

It's archetypal.

And what is an archetype?

I mean, Jung coined, yeah, he coined that archetype.

He didn't really develop, yeah, he developed the idea.

He didn't create the idea from scratch.

But what is an archetype?

It is just simply a pattern of behavior.

I mean, there's lots of woo-woo connotations around archetype and around Jung in general, but really it's just a pattern of behavior that we're born with, which makes a lot of sense now that we've incorporated evolutionary psychology in the last half of the 20th century.

But in the first half of the 20th century, when Jung was writing, it was a kind of a strange idea.

But we have patterns of behavior based on who we are.

You know, my favorite example of this is the Oedipus Complex.

This is an archetypal way of functioning based on what a human is.

because we are sexually dimorphic, because males, male humans are about 15, 20% larger than females.

We're going to need to navigate our life by overcoming relationships with our father to interact with other men

like they're not our father and overcome our relationship with our mom so we can interact with other women without our mom being there psychologically.

And a great way to do that is through anime integration, is through integrating this feminine aspect of the male psychology.

Like I say about prairie dogs, another great example, just to make sure that we get this.

Another great example is prairie dogs.

If a prairie dog had an archetype, what would it be?

Well, they do have archetypes, but let's say if a prairie dog could create myth, what would the myth be about?

Well, it would be about a prairie dog that could tunnel really well,

that built a whole Prairie Dog City in less than a day or the Prairie Dog that could spot hawks really well or when the Prairie Dog did spot a hawk he had the best call to the rest of the Prairie Dog in the Prairie Dog City.

You know the Prairie Dogs in the Prairie Dog City right?

That's what the myth of a Prairie Dog would be about and it's not some woo-woo concept that comes out of nowhere this

is based on what the Prairie Dog is biologically what the Prairie Dog responds to and we have this this anima part of us and kind of makes sense.

Like you have an idea of what a woman is, right?

Nobody had to teach you, if you're straight, nobody had to teach you to be attracted to a woman.

In fact, in high school, you go to sex education, which is in a sense telling you to not be so attracted.

Hey dude, chill out on the hormones.

But this isn't a sexual thing.

I mean, even a young boy, a five or seven year old boy, nobody teaches him to be curious about a beautiful woman.

It's just in us.

we have this this part of us that is a woman and a great way to incorporate it we'll get to it is to create

a better relationship you have to create healthy relationships with another woman but there's a step before that we'll get

to it first though is what are some symptoms of poor animal integration just in case this might be you and it probably is

you I mean not be not that there's anything wrong with you but nobody really ever talks about this Jung talks about it but here what we

talk about it in a very specific way again we'll get to it well the main symptom of poor

anima integration is as jung says moodiness and just uh fluctuating moods that that come without you know much awareness they just

come up for you take over your life i mean this is just more an indication of your unconscious coming up taking over your consciousness consciousness outside of your awareness i mean and it makes sense i mean that um a man who has not incorporated his anima

it makes sense that he would act like what a woman who hasn't really been validated a woman whose emotions haven't been validated and that's a

good way to think of your anima is just emotional aspects of you parts that a lot of men would typically think of as weak and it's

not like yeah they can definitely be expressed in a weak way but what ultimately makes them weak is the

fact that you deny their existence we're going to get to it another symptom of of poor anima

integration is stoicism just denying the importance of emotions that doesn't matter if you think you can improve yourself by

just simply doing one thing as opposed to doing another thing then you just have a poor anima integration now

that's true and you can't improve yourself by being discipline and going on YouTube and watching motivational videos and creating a schedule, that's helpful, but not as a compensation for not having to integrate your enema.

Once you integrate the enema, then all that stuff goes a lot easier.

Another symptom of poor enema integration is the persona or projecting this false self or this idea of what you think other people want you to be.

And this makes sense.

Or why would you project a false self out of who you are because you interpret weakness the weakness of the animates well it's not the

weakness of the animates the weakness of the unconscious anima it's the what makes it weak is you think that it's weak and then it's going to come out in weak ways that yeah then you're going to act moody

right then you're going to act in an effeminate way not a feminine way then you're going to act in an effeminate way the thing that you feared most of course is going to come true when you don't acknowledge its existence.

So what do we do?

How do we incorporate the anima?

How do we incorporate that softer, that feminine part of us?

Well, what do I have here?

Notre Dame.

For a long time, humanity, I think a way that we did this is we went to church.

I mean, Notre Dame.

I mean, why are churches named after women?

Did you get issue two of the magazine?

Why are the first churches shaped after, I don't know, certain parts of female anatomy?

Why would that be?

Because we just have this instinctive archetypal way of knowing that how we grow, how we mature psychologically is, yes, we go into the church.

We go into the mother.

We go into our emotions.

Now, the mouth breather, the guy who stays in his mom's basement when he's 35 and plays video games all day and argues with people on Twitter, he stays in the mother.

He stays in the church, and I would argue people who stay in the church for that long, similar issue.

Not that there's anything wrong with going to church, or not that there's anything wrong with connecting with the mother and living at home, but you've got to grow out of that.

But, yeah, I mean, this is what the church represents, right?

That's why I have this here.

This is not a Catholic, right?

It's really like Hugo.

So, yeah, that's one way to incorporate the animat, which is just a short-term solution.

It's something to go into, and what the hero does is he goes into the emotions, figures them out, overcomes them, and that's what we teach you how to do here.

We'll get to it.

Overcomes the emotions, integrates the emotions, understands the emotions, and then that's what the hero does.

Another way to incorporate the anime, maybe a less than beneficial way, is just to get wrapped up in social movements.

Jung says in paragraph 326 of volume 7 written in 1938 which is important he says essentially how we I was going to

read it but it's kind of lying how we incorporate the anima as we get wrapped up in things that rhyme

with isms bolshevism the world war you know so he was talking about world war one I mean are these plans do we plan to get wrapped up in tyranny

and something that wipes out large swaths of Europe?

No, but this happens.

100

You plan to let the woman overtake your life.

101

I mean, you read every texting guide, every PDF texting guide, every PDF guru guide.

102

Why did you let the woman overtake your life?

103

Because you didn't pay attention to what you are.

104

Just like if you're a prairie dog, you pay attention to what you are and then go from there.

105

You don't come up with some idea based on what you want to be true.

106

Oh, I'm just going to text her this and not this.

107

I'm only going to text her this amount of times that it's not going to work.

108

Now that can be helpful, but only after you really learn to integrate your anima.

109

So those are less than beneficial ways.

110

I think those can be helpful in a certain context.

111

Going into the church, it's helpful as long as you recognize what you're doing.

112

You're going into the mother, that's fine.

113

but if you don't want to be a mouth breather if you want to be a hero you need to in a sense overcome the mother

114

you need to learn what's in the mother learn what's in your emotions learn what's in your softer feminine side and then come out of that

115

with the key so to speak so another way to incorporate the anima i mean the first step really is to recognize that it's there recognize

116

right if you are going to the church if you are going to the the social movement that runs with ism

117

then recognize what you're doing and also look for intuitive nudges i think this is typically how men experience

118

at least the first hints of the anima first hints that oh maybe there's something else going on there they get intuitive nudges now guys are notorious for feeling those intuitive nudges and then not paying attention to it oh it's no big deal

119

right just say you're out with a girl and you get into a nudge maybe this isn't right what that intuitive nudge is telling you is what you're doing.

120

Yeah, you're using her for your Anima integration, not yourself.

121

So pay attention to intuitive nudges, follow those.

122

And I want to be clear, I'm not saying your intuitive nudge is correct.

123

It could lead you in the wrong direction.

124

But if you pay attention to the intuitive nudge and act on it,

125

and then learn the most you can from that decision that you make based on the intuitive decision,

126

then you're going to further tune that intuitive nudge to reality and that's you in a sense becoming more in tune with your emotions and using them to make your life to make your life go in a better direction

127

another way is to just integrate feel emotions even if they don't make any sense validate your emotions i mean this is the moody guy

128

he has not validated his emotions and so they don't go away they come up in weird ways that come off as moodiness that

129

come off as truly effeminate so of course it's ironic right it's paradoxical he wants to be as masculine as possible what ends up happening is moodiness and ultimately what you need to do to integrate your anima is to find it in another woman.

130

You're never going to be able to integrate your anima fully on your own.

131

But what's really important is to start integrating your anima first so that when a woman does come in your life, you're not relying on her to do it for you.

132

And that's when a guy gets really wrapped up into another woman or he lets her take over his life, even though he's read every PDF guru guy there is on Twitter.

133

I mean, like, how thirsty are you, right?

134

Thirsty.

135

How thirsty are you, right?

136

I'm not the one who created this, using the symbolism, this metaphor.

137

How thirsty are you?

138

You're going to be way less thirsty if you learn to drink water yourself, as opposed to relying on a woman to come into your life and give you water.

139

Now, you're never going to be able to drink all the water that you need to by yourself.

140

You're going to need another woman,

141

right if this analogy carries but you gotta learn at least drink some water yourself so when the woman comes into your life you don't rely on

142

her and of course you wouldn't want to integrate your animal fully on your own either because that's part of the magic that's part of the fun of especially meeting a woman and realizing that she can do more for you than you could ever do on your own and that's what you can do for her we'll talk about that next week with animus integration

143

It's not a 1 plus 1 equals 2 kind of relationship, a 1 plus 1 equals 11.

144

She can do more for you than you could ever do on your own.

145

And that's a great thing.

146

That's a great feeling, obviously.

147

But you don't want that to overtake your life.

148

Anima integration.

149

It's just amazing how these personal things that we think only we're dealing with, it's what everybody's dealing with.

150

and this is um i mean essentially what i'm talking about here is yin and yang i mean this is lao

151

tzu this is taoism taoism right this week we're talking about the yin the anima in the yang the animus which is your

152

predominant soul if you're a guy right animus empire next week we'll talk about the yang and the yin and it's just about yeah just getting that little piece that you need from your unconscious, from your anima, that your anima, it can't use it, right?

153

It can only give it to you as long as you're looking for it.

154

But the consciousness, your animus, if you're a man, your predominant male soul, it can use that.

155

It can use that for, you know, way more than what your own male animus soul could have used it for on its own.

156

And, you know, as much as I talk about Jung, as much as I respect him,

157

and he's a huge influence on me, he really never nailed down exactly how to incorporate the enema or a lot of other aspects of the unconscious.

158

But that's what we do here.

159

We look at emotions for exactly what they are, exactly what they must be based on what we are biologically, I would argue, and exactly how they must function based on what we are biologically.

160

We take those principles and then we boil it down, okay, here's how you talk about emotions, to integrate them into your life, to become more fluid with them, to feel those intuitive urges, to learn as much as you can.

161

If an intuitive urge leads you in a direction that's not so helpful.

162

So the next time you make a decision based on an intuition, it's going to be more aligned with reality and then more aligned with reality again and again until you can go on and meet a woman and she's only going to be a benefit to your life

163

and not a detriment.

164

So that's what we do here.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
