Does anyone else have deeply esoteric visions like this guy
without drugs?

I wish I did

Personally, I think Jung was a very forward thinker.
Haven't watched the video, but will later. Things like lucid
dreaming, hypnotism, meditation etc may be ways to induce
deeply esoteric visions you mention. I like to think there
is more within the human brain that we can tap into with the
more we can understand it. To quote Frank zappa: 'the mind
is like a parachute, it doesn't work unless it's open.'
My 2 cents.

I'm more interested in behaviourism.

Jung was one of the most brilliant people that ever walked
this planet...I love that guy. He taught me a lot about
myself.

Will watch the video later..

Ive yet to experience anything at the fundamental level,
symbolism such as the circle in a square or something that I
would recognise as
a shared archetype, something from without ones self. There
is a definite disconnect emotionally from my waking state
and my dreams. The video is actually pretty informative as
an introduction to his ideas. Cheers for the replies

when i was like 16 or 17, i was on vacation with my family
in california. things were great until i came down with food
poisoning due to an undercooked steak. after a few days with
104 fever -- unable to even keep down fluids -- i began
hallucinating. i was a factory. i had to keep my hands
moving in a certain pattern in order to keep the assembly
line moving. after doing that for a while -- it could have
been minutes or hours; i've really no idea -- my mum came to
check on me and freaked the fuck out, because i refused to
stop moving my hands in patterns while spouting nonsense
about factories. eventually she managed to snap me out of
it; i went to take a bath and things went back to baseline,
more or less. years later, i sampled all sorts of
hallucinogens. none of them quite compared to the intensity
of that one experience, but dissociatives felt like a milder
version of the same thing. the oddest part is how natural
that state of mind felt, given how batshit it was from a
rational perspective. then i read jung's coffee table book,
"man and his symbols." then i read some other stuff on
magick... and it all began seeming a bit less batshit to my
rational side. i haven't even watched this video yet, but
some recent sigils i've been using involve a circle inside a
square, so i full well expect this to be one those uncanny
synchronicity moments once i do watch it. thanks in advance.

^ I suppose im quite lucky as ive never experienced
delirium, thinking your a sentient autonomous factory takes
some beating I should imagine, sounds like some really weird
coping mechanism your mind enacted, either that or your
brain overheated like a cpu

it's a bit of a mess down there; sort of like questioning
the water a bilge pump sucks out of the keel of your boat.
it's not about the salinity or what microbes are floating
around in the bilge water, it's about pumping out the muck
so your boat doesn't go fungal, or worse, sink. jumbling in
another metaphor, the factory motif was just the way my
brain managed the execution of it, sort of like a software
API for the bilge muck -- the manipulation of patterns too
complex for you to do anything useful with by grafting a
structural metaphor on top.

i took tae kwon doe for a while when i was like 12. i liked
learning the kicks and punches, sparing was great after
being cooped up in class, and it instilled a lifelong love
of stretching. what got me to quit, though, was when i moved
up past some belt level and the sensei had me memorizing
patterns of movement with asian names, and then doing them
50 times in a row. took me until my late 20s for me to
connect the dots backwards and understand what all that was
about -- growing up, circuits get wired in your brain more
or less at random, and the point of that was to replace that
noise with something structured and predictable. sort of
wish i'd stuck with it.

your mind becomes attenuated as you grow older, thats what i
personally think, like being tuned into a certain frequency
band, its why kids are so creative, their minds haven't
ossified.

Your village has suffered too long from the nocturnal
attacks of that horrible beast, the Wumpus. At your
coming-of-age ceremony, you vow to do what no other hunter
in the village has had the courage to try. Donning an old
suit of armor and taking only a torch and a crossbow with a
single arrow, you enter the cavernous lair of the Wumpus.
The path is unknown, twisting through narrow corridors and
forgotten chambers. Ancient pits, built by a dead people for
their lost subterranean gods, ooze slime as they wait to
claim another explorer. Monstrous bats inhabit the caves,
carrying the unaware through the darkness and releasing them
again at whim. Most terrible of all is the Wumpus, who
slumbers even now in the darkness. Woe to any who come upon
the beast in the shadows!

But you have chosen to face these dangers, great as they
are. You will free your village or fall in the attempt.
Because you alone have chosen to Hunt The Wumpus!
