Скачать или смотреть Masks & Mirrors — The Faces We Show, the Truth We Hide

Masks & Mirrors explores the paradox at the heart of human life: we long to be seen, and yet we hide.
From ancient rituals to Stoic philosophy, from Jung’s psychology to modern illusions, the mask has always been both shield and prison.
Every mask conceals a wound. Every mirror demands a question.

In myth, masks summoned gods, spirits, and ancestors. In psychology, they shape our personas and protect us from collapse. In philosophy, they warn us of the danger of mistaking appearance for truth. And in every age, the mirror waits — demanding we face what lies beneath.

Philosophically, the mask is not just disguise, but a threshold: what you project, and what is reflected back. To remove it is both terror and transformation.

In this episode, you’ll discover:
– Ritual masks in Greece, Rome, Japan, Africa, and the Andes
– Jung’s Persona and the danger of mistaking the mask for the soul
– Stoic warnings from Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius
– Kierkegaard, Levinas, Nietzsche — the mirror as judgment and demand
– The psychology of collapse when masks break and shadows return
– Why every mask hides a wound, and every mirror holds a question
