- Outer Shadow Work - Course Overview - Coming to Terms With The World - Know Yourself Programme
In this episode Max introduces the fourth course of the MiC Know Yourself Programme - Outer Shadow Work.
Coming to terms with our own shadows implies coming to terms with what is difficult to confront in the world. This was an issue that Jung tussled with as he witnessed the undeniable “absolute evil” unfolding over the 20th century.One of our culture's greatest challenges is that it doesn’t really know evil. It largely doesn't want to know. Terrified of judging, resting on relativism, or just naively avoidant, our unwillingness to know evil perpetuates its existence.In Outer Shadow Work, you will face what renders you uncomfortable in the world - developing a nuanced philosophical and psychospiritual understanding of evil, narcissism and control dynamics. Break free from master-slave dialectics and build personal sovereignty and freedom.----------

24 min - Inner Shadow Work - Course Overview - Coming to Terms With Yourself - Know Yourself Programme
In this episode Max introduces the third course of the MiC Know Yourself Programme - Inner Shadow Work.
The shadow is the unconscious realm of the psyche that comprises all that we repress, deny or hide from others. It necessarily forms as a result of our adaptation to the world, stepping into ourselves and becoming an individual.But the shadow itself is also dual. Just as it contains shortfalls and tensions we’d rather avoid, it contains vital gifts & qualities. Jung described becoming conscious of the shadow as "the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge."In this third course of the MiC Know Yourself Programme, you will develop a nuanced understanding of shadow, calling on psychological and philosophical wisdom from the western tradition. Identify your own shadow, do the alchemical work, developing greater congruency & self-awareness.----------

26 min - The Make it Conscious Philosophy - Course Overview - Know Yourself Programme
How well do you "know yourself?"
How exactly is it that a mind can come to *know itself*?Are “you” merely an idea? Is there, as a Buddhist might say, ‘no self?’What could it mean to be ‘conscious?’ What is spirituality?Why do we suffer? Is it wrong to desire?What is freedom and what does it mean to be free? Does evil exist? Why are we here, and what is history and our world about anyway?Did Jung have all the answers?What are you beyond your identify, self-image and appearance?Why are you here? And what are you doing?In the seminal course of the Know Yourself Programme - The MiC Philosophy - you’ll begin to develop your own answers to these fundamental questions. In this episode Max introduces the course and shares the MiC Philosophy Course Overview direct from the KYP.In this course, we’ll explore the thoughts of some of history’s greatest thinkers, starting with Kant and his project of self-enquiry. You'll journey through idealist philosophers like Hegel, and into the realm of depth psychology with Freud and Jung, gaining insights into the nature of the mind, spirit, freedom—and ultimately, yourself.This first course of the Know Yourself Programme is available for just $7.

16 min - The Shadow: What Jung Said About it - Part 2 - Psychology of the Unconscious
What is the 'Shadow'? A trendy term that originates with psychologist Carl Jung. You might have often heard it discussed in psychological and spiritual content along with the need to do 'shadow work' or 'integrate the shadow.'
Like many psychological concepts, Jung's thesis around the shadow is on one hand often misunderstood, and on the other also contains some contradictions of its own. Referring to what the original thinkers said on tricky concepts like the shadow is generally very elucidating. And it also helps us understand how we can apply and take further the ideas into our own process of becoming.In the pursuit of self-knowledge, understanding the shadow is nonetheless a vital exercise, as well as working with the aspects of our own personality that have necessarily been left behind. It also involves coming to terms with collective shadow, and what Jung described as 'absolute evil.'To that end, in this episode we will delve into what Carl Jung himself wrote about the shadow. Jung said many things about it, but in this episode we'll focus just on one of his earliest works mentioning the shadow, the essay The Psychology of the Unconscious.The MiC courses on Inner and Outer Shadow Work are due to be released in one week.

48 min - The Shadow: What Jung Said About it - Part 1 - Aion
What is the 'Shadow'? Shadow is a term that has firmly entered the common lexicon and originates with psychologist Carl Jung. You might have often heard it discussed in psychological and spiritual content along with the need to do 'shadow work' or 'integrate the shadow.'
Like many psychological concepts, Jung's thesis around the shadow is on one hand often misunderstood, and on the other also contains some contradictions of its own.

It also involves coming to terms with collective shadow, and what Jung described as 'absolute evil.'To that end, in this episode we will delve into what Carl Jung himself wrote about the shadow. Jung said many things about it, but in this episode we'll focus just on one piece of writing - Aion. Originally based on a lecture and written in 1948, it contains a concise three-page chapter on the shadow, representing the summation of Jung's thought on it at this latter part of his career.The MiC courses on Inner and Outer Shadow Work are due to be released in two weeks.

55 min - The Ego: What Jung Said About It - Aion
What is the 'Ego?' What does it mean to 'have' an ego? A 'big ego' or a 'strong ego'? Is the ego bad?
The Ego is an often misunderstood concept in psychology and conversation more broadly. It is a key part of Carl Jung's psychology and map of the psyche, and a necessary factor in the development of self-knowledge and the unfolding of spirit itself.Carl Jung said many things about the Ego. But in this episode we'll focus just on one piece of writing - Aion. Originally published in 1951, in Jung's 76th year, it contains a concise five-page chapter giving a discussion and description of the Ego at this late point in Jung's life and career.----------

54 min - Self-Sufficiency & Individuation - Jung's Transcendent Function - Part 3
The transcendent function is a foundational concept in Carl Jung's psychology, first formally introduced in his 1916 essay of the same name. Written when Jung was 41, this essay reflects a pivotal moment in his life and career—following his split with Freud and during his difficult confrontation with the unconscious. In fewer than 10,000 words, it lays the groundwork for much of Jung’s later theories, including the shadow and the practice of active imagination, marking the early development of his unique approach to psychological transformation.
In this three-part series, we'll explore the key aspects of this important insight in Jung's psychology and related writings. In Part 1, Transcendent Function Defined, we’ll introduce the concept in context and discuss why it matters. In Part 2, The Directedness of Mind, we’ll examine the nature of the mind, its inherent split, and the importance of integration. Finally, in Part 3, Self-Sufficiency and Individuation, we’ll discuss what the transcendent function means for you and how it can support your own pursuit of self-knowledge.----------

About Make it Conscious
From the publisher's feed
Most of us are living a version of a life rather than the thing itself. Make it Conscious is a show about that gap, and closing it. Join Max Chegwyn for a conversation about self-knowledge, drawing on…
depth psychology and the western philosophical tradition: freedom and unfreedom, the shadow, duality, responsibility, selfhood, mind, and mystery.
