Hi Daniel.
I want to give you a note of my appreciation, a question, as well as a humble request.
You channel completely changed my life. I came to a video of yours - the analysis of the novel "Siddhartha". This got me intrigued. When I first began watching your videos I was an 18 year old studying in a foreign country having experienced sexual abuse from a partner, and having failed a year at university. You gave me the courage to speak up for myself, break away from my parents, confront them, keep believing in my truth, and finally decide not to have children. I especially love your "The Baby's Manifesto". Since then, you, and a another channel online by Heidi Priebe, gave me the tools and the vocabulary to have a dialogue with myself. And for this I am ever so grateful that words cannot capture it. What I love about you is your courage to be honest.
On to my question. I am curious about your thoughts on Carl Jung. I know you do not believe in dream analysis based off of a generic guidebook of symbolism. But your concept of "breaking away from the parents" seems to align to his concept of the "hero(ine)s journey". But more generally, I wonder if you believe in a common consciousness. Forgive me if you have covered this elsewhere. I am very curious about your thoughts.
As for my request, something that keeping arriving in my life cyclically is a period of procrastination. From what I know, there is no antidote other than facing the fear of the task head-on and trying to understand what is it that I am so afraid of with this particular task. Although things have gotten better over the last few years, somedays I still find myself so paralyzed and unable to leave my bed. I wonder if you would consider making a video on procrastination?
Thank you and my best to you on your healing journey,
Gayatri
