The Psychology of the Man-Child (Puer Aeternus)

 This powerful and richly woven video by Eternalised brings together psychological insights from Jung, mythological symbols, literary reflections, and spiritual themes to explore the dynamic tension between the puer (the eternal youth) and the senex (the old man). It touches on a universal human challenge: How do we grow up without losing the vitality, magic, and authenticity of youth? The puer aeternus , or "eternal boy," is a mythological and psychological archetype representing eternal youth. Rooted in ancient mythology (e.g., Iacchus, Dionysus, Eros), it was later explored by Carl Jung and Marie-Louise von Franz in terms of its influence on adult psychology. As an archetype, it has both positive (creativity, vitality, hope) and negative (irresponsibility, avoidance of reality) aspects. Negatively , the puer is someone who avoids responsibility, resists maturation, and lives in fantasy rather than reality. He may have a rich inner world and high potential , b...

Cool Fact 1: Magnetoreceptors

 

1: Magnetoreceptors

Some animals have magnetoreceptors in their brains, allowing them to sense Earth's magnetic field. This ability, called magnetoreception, helps them navigate during migration, hunting, or orientation.

Animals with Magnetoreceptors

  1. Birds (e.g., Pigeons, Robins, Geese, Swallows)
    • Some birds have iron-rich cells in their beaks and special cryptochrome proteins in their eyes that react to magnetic fields.
    • This allows them to "see" magnetic fields and navigate across long distances.
  2. Sea Turtles
    • Hatchlings and adult sea turtles use magnetic fields to migrate across oceans and return to the exact beach where they were born.
    • They likely have magnetoreceptors in their brains or nervous system.
  3. Bees & Other Insects
    • Honeybees use magnetoreception to navigate and find their hive.
    • Tiny magnetite (iron) particles in their bodies help detect the Earth's magnetic field.
  4. Fish (e.g., Salmon, Sharks, Rays)
    • Salmon have magnetic sensors in their brains to help them return to their spawning grounds.
    • Sharks and rays detect magnetic fields to hunt and navigate underwater.
  5. Mammals (e.g., Bats, Mice, Cows, Dogs)
    • Some bat species use magnetic fields to migrate.
    • Studies suggest cows and dogs align themselves with the Earth's magnetic field when resting or urinating.
