  The Foundation You Try to Skip: Fear, Desire, and the Ego 13.07.2026 15min

  The spiritual instinct is to rise above fear, desire and ego as fast as possible. The older traditions say the opposite. This is a talking-head reading of my essay on the three drives at the base of the inner life: why suppressing them fails, and what they become when you own them instead of being owned.I read the first three centres through Jung and through the tantric tradition, from the ego as a centre that has to be built before it can be relativised, to the Devi Mahatmya, where the goddess destroys the demons not out of hatred but as an act of mercy. The demons are the forces inside a person that ego and ignorance have turned destructive. Fear, met rather than fled, becomes discernment. Wanting becomes direction. The raw survival force becomes the steadiness to act.The written essay, with full sources, is on Substack: https://danielpaulus.substack.com/p/the-foundation-you-try-to-skipIf you want to do this work slowly and in depth, my individual guidance goes into exactly this territory: https://www.danielpaulus.net#depthpsychology #jung #tantra #consciousness #shadowwork

  The Direction We Forgot 18.06.2026 19min

  The Vertical We ForgotFor most of my adult life I lived two lives at once. One was a Western life in its successful form, twenty years in corporations and most of the major cities of the world, and I do not look back on it with contempt. I liked it. Underneath it ran a second track the whole time, depth psychology, Jung, the Eastern traditions, meditation.Almost five years ago my wife and I left Europe with our children and moved to Costa Rica. From here the difference is so plain I can no longer unsee it. The modern world has perfected the horizontal axis, everything you can touch, count and set beside your neighbour, and quietly abolished the vertical, your relation to whatever is larger than you. A civilisation can grow unimaginably rich on the one axis while starving on the one it has forgotten.Drawing on the cultural philosopher Jean Gebser, this essay is about that flatness, why the way out is not a return to religion or to the village, and what the Eastern traditions call vivéka, the capacity to tell the real from the unreal.I am Daniel Paulus. I work at the meeting point of Jungian depth psychology and the living Vedic tradition. Different languages, one inner world.Writing and essays: danielpaulus.substack.comIndividual guidance: danielpaulus.net

  Where Jung Was Wrong About Yoga 29.04.2026 17min

  Jung spent decades studying yoga. He called it one of the greatest achievements of the human mind. He also concluded that Westerners should not practice it.On four specific counts, he was wrong.This essay examines where his critique holds up and where it breaks down. His misreading of samadhi as unconscious regression. The Eurocentrism he dressed as psychology. The asymmetry between how he treated his own method and how he treated yoga. And the fact that by the time he issued his warnings, the tradition had already been transformed into something else entirely.The audio version of the full essay published on Substack.Read the full text with references and practical reflection at https://danielpaulus.substack.com1:1 Counseling: https://en.paulus.yoga/counselingWeb: https://en.paulus.yoga

  SAUNDARYA - Sundara / Beauty 03.03.2024 13min

  Sundara The Supreme Reality or Paramatman has time and again been described by the Vedic and Tantric seers as Satyam, Sivam, Sundaram. The first two of these attributes, Satyam and Sivam , are intangible and imperceptible, except in the form of experience. The third attribute, Sundaram , however, is the attribute that is tangible and perceptible Because beauty always relates to form.

  WHAT IS TANTRA? 20.12.2023 26min

  “Tantra,” “Tantra-Yoga,” and “Tantrism” are all terms that refer to one of the most sophisticated and fascinating spiritual approaches in the world. It also has been the single most influential approach on the Indian subcontinent, and many of its concepts and practices have found their way into mainstream Indian culture and philosophy. Tantra, moreover, has given the world many great masters (known as siddhas and mahâ-siddhas), who have left precious teachings behind. These teachings are still largely a sealed book, and in order to comprehend— never mind realize—them, we must be willing to actually tread the Tantric path under the guidance of a qualified adept.

  Mother Archetype - positive and shadow aspect 07.12.2023 27min

  The mother archetype, within the framework of Jungian psychology, encapsulates a universal, innate pattern or image that symbolizes the qualities traditionally associated with motherhood. It extends beyond the literal role of a biological mother, encompassing a profound and symbolic representation of the nurturing, caring,and loving aspects deeply ingrained in human consciousness. #mother #archetype #symbolism #symbol #yoga #psychology #philosophy #conscisousness #jung #cgjung
