  • Summary

  • We delve into the profound and ancient question of 'Who am I?' by examining the distinct roles of the Self and the ego. Drawing from Jungian psychology, we explore the Self as a mysterious, instinctive force guiding us towards healing and growth, much like an acorn becoming an oak tree. Contrarily, the ego acts as a temporary, curated narrative influenced by experiences, culture, and societal expectations.

    The episode discusses the dynamics between these two aspects, emphasizing the importance of awareness and self-reflection. Through personal anecdotes and psychological insights, listeners are encouraged to pursue their true selves beyond the ego's limitations.
