The Dark Phase After Spiritual Awakening No One Talks About | Carl Jung

There's a hidden phase of spiritual awakening that nobody talks about—the moment when life loses its meaning, motivation disappears, and you're left with a terrifying thought: "I don't want to die, but I don't want to exist either."

This isn't depression. It's not giving up. It's ego death becoming real.
In this video, we explore the psychological and spiritual terrain that unfolds after the initial awakening—when the old self dissolves but the new one hasn't fully formed yet. Drawing from Carl Jung's depth psychology, Buddhist philosophy, and mystical traditions, we uncover why this phase feels so disorienting and what's actually happening beneath the surface.
What You'll Discover:

Why awakening often feels like losing the ground beneath you
The psychological mechanism behind the "desire not to exist"
How the nervous system responds when ego-driven motivation collapses
The difference between depression and spiritual deconditioning
Why forcing old motivation back creates more suffering
What Jung meant by the emergence of the Self as organizing center
How to navigate the liminal space between who you were and who you're becoming.

If you're experiencing the emptiness after awakening, the loss of motivation, or feeling like you're in limbo between selves—you're not broken. You're in the middle of a profound transformation that psychology and spiritual traditions have mapped for thousands of years.
