@@the_polish_prince8966 'Jung worked for the early iteration of the CIA starting in the early 1930s. He was asked by the US to not get too far away from Hitler and help them assess his mental situation. Jung throughout this period speaks very ambiguously about Hilter, calling him the “Hypnotized Hypnotist”, and the “mouthpiece of the collective Shadow of the German people”. Though he never embraces the party's doctrine, nor praises it, he's often criticized for not completely damning the Nazi movement.' this is all I could find on the topic, what's the titles of the documents?

The reason for that answer is because the question is like asking if you believe in the ocean. You do not need to believe in it you know it is there even if it's not in front of you or if you haven't seen it. This analogy is not perfect because atleast in my case I needed to "see" God in order to "believe" there's is such a thing. The issue comes I think when the concept of God is brought up because it carries so much emotional weight on people for many different reasons.

To those saying Jung only had a gut feeling about God. I think Jung had more than a gut feeling God exists. I just don’t think he had a simple way of answering that question considering his belief in God may be quite challenging to the typical believer, and also at odds with many atheists. His views on religion challenge many churches. I believe this is a big reason why the man isn’t taught in many schools or Universities. In a psychology course I heard his name mentioned a couple times and it was only referencing introverts and extroverts. That is a sliver of the work this man has done. The world still isn’t ready for him in my opinion. Maybe in another century or so he will be studied as one of the greatest thinkers ever, but his views are just too challenging to the established bureaucracies of our time.

[@mentorplanck7309]

@Ricardo Laakso Jung didn't believe in a god that created the world, I think. He knew that there was a god archetype in every human, that made god a psychological reality for everyone. In the classical sense he probably would still be an atheist.

[@stayclassic2361]

Ricardo Laakso I’m saying Jung has more than a gut feeling because that’s what some people are saying. I’m also saying based on some of his work I’ve studied that his views can be challenging to many followers of different Churches. Just because he said he knows God exists it doesn’t mean that the conception of God many people believe is an accurate representation of the God he knows to exist.

[@wesselvandervleuten3618]

He actually wrote a letter explaining his beliefs. He didn't believe in God as in the sense of a personal God. "Sir, - So many letters I have received have emphasized my statement about 'knowing' (of God) [in ‘Face to Face’, THE LISTENER, October 29]. My opinion about ‘knowledge of God’ is an unconventional way of thinking, and I quite understand if it should be suggested that I am no Christian. Yet I think of myself as a Christian since I am entirely based upon Christian concepts. I only try to escape their internal contradictions by introducing a more modest attitude, which takes into consideration the immense darkness of the human mind. The Christian idea proves its vitality by a continuous evolution, just like Buddhism. Our time certainly demands some new thought in this respect, as we cannot continue to think in an antique or medieval way, when we enter the sphere of religious experience. I did not say in the broadcast, ‘There is a God’, I said ‘I do not need to believe in God; I know’. Which does not mean: I do know a certain God (Zeus, Jahwe, Allah, the Trinitarian God, etc.) but rather: I do know that I am obviously confronted with a factor unknown in itself, which I call 'God' in consensu omnium (‘quod semper, quod ubique, quod ab omnibus creditur’). I remember Him, I evoke Him, whenever I use His name overcome by anger or by fear, whenever I involuntarily say: ‘Oh God’. That happens when I meet somebody or something stronger than myself. It is an apt name given to all overpowering emotions in my own psychical system subduing my conscious will and usurping control over myself. This is the name by which I designate all things which cross my willful path violently and recklessly, all things which upset my subjective views, plans, and intentions and change the course of my life for better or worse. In accordance with tradition I call the power of fate in this positive as well as negative aspect, and inasmuch as its origin is beyond my control, 'god', a 'personal god', since my fate means very much myself, particularly when it approaches me in the form of conscience as a vox Dei, with which I can even converse and argue. (We do and, at the same time, we know that we do. One is subject as well as object.) Yet I should consider it an intellectual immorality to indulge in the belief that my view of a god is the universal, metaphysical Being of the confessions or 'philosophies'. I do neither commit the impertinence of a hypostasis, nor of an arrogant qualification such as: 'God can only be good'. Only my experience can be good or evil, but I know that the superior will is based upon a foundation which transcends human imagination. Since I know of my collision with a superior will in my own psychical system, I know of God, and if I should venture the illegitimate hypostasis of my image, I would say, of a God beyond good and evil, just as much dwelling in myself as everywhere else: Deus est circulus cuius centrum est ubique, cuis circumferentia vero nusquam"

To all those who are causing suffering in this world, directly or indirectly: Heed your dreams at night, those nightmares that you most assuredly are having are imploring you to change -before it’s too late… The quality of our dreams is both a reflection of our thoughts and actions as well as a general foreshadowing of the fate of our souls in the next life...A nightly, temporary karma that beckons us to change - for the good - so as to avoid a more permanent karma❤️‍🔥 Beauty(🌷)+Complexity(🌎) =Intent(❤️) The Figure 8 Analogy: An analogy on life, death, the dream-state and the symbolism intertwined within the human experience. We human beings are not traveling in the abstract motion of a straight line towards death (for instance, the numerical straight line of say 1-89). Instead, we are moving in the motion of a figure 8. The Figure 8 is a natural repeating pattern that is divided into two halves and is thus the perfect symbol to represent the human life cycle and our two primary states of existence that we are continuously moving in and out of -the Awake state and the Dream state. When we awake from sleep we come full circle to when we fall back asleep (represented by the bottom half of the figure 8 )and when we go into the dream state we come full circle to when we awake from the dream state (represented by the top half of the figure 8 ). Upon death; the figure 8 of life untwines, but it’s not the body untwining from the mind that this analogy represents. It's two states of mind untwining to form a larger state of mind (8-0)… Because the awake state is really a state -of mind with our body's physical reality "consciously" intertwined, and the dream-state is also a state of mind with our body's physical reality "subconsciously" intertwined. Therefore; upon death, these two states of mind untwine to form a “larger” state of mind. A state that has all the potentialities of the dream-world (flying, telepathy, psychokinesis, etc) combined with all the actualities of the awake world(nature, form, bonds, etc). This I refer to as the transitional analogy. While conceiving The Figure 8 Analogy, I realized life and death must be perceived -from one point of view- as seperate entities(the transitional analogy(8-0), but must also be perceived -from another point of view- as inseparable entities(the symbolic analogy👇), both of which are ultimately linked by the dream-state. The “Symbolic Analogy” consists of the untwined figure 8 of life/the “circle of death” ( O ) abstractly overlapping the ‘circle of life’ (Earth(🌎)with the overlapping area representing the dreamstate-like the common area in a Venn Diagram-and implies that the dream state is just as much a part of life as is of death (by which explains precognitive dreams, prodromal dreams, "visitations" by deceased relatives, etc) for the dream-state has a foothold in the afterlife; and is based on the premise that “while our body sleeps our dream state symbolically represents the state that awaits upon our body's ultimate rest.” In other words, while we are lying down and sleeping/dreaming, this natural process symbolizes where we go when we're ultimately lying down/dead -to a place like our dream-state...A state "of mind” with our body's physical form+Earthly bonds eternally engrained and intertwined. ~8~

“As I stepped beyond the threshold, I entered another world-like Dorothy walking into Oz. A slight breeze swirled the leaves and branches and blossoms of the garden, brushing the skin on my arms. Soft air and clear light caressed my face. Just then, the music stopped. It took me a moment to realize that the music in my head was actually in my iPod and the iPod must have run out of power. I took out the ear buds and a far more fantastic music flooded in, leaves rustling, birds chirping, insects buzzing, the distant shoosh of tires on the road invisible behind the trees. I sat at the wrought-iron table and put my feet up. The crystalline light astonished me. The air, neither hot nor cold, was invigoratingly dry. I felt energy radiating from my body into the air, mingling with the radiations emanating from all the life surrounding me. I scanned the back yard. The ornamental grasses had begun to shoot out golden tufts; the crepe myrtle, hydrangea, stone crop, petunias and geraniums all had covered themselves in blossoms. Figs grew large and heavy on the fig tree, which exploded tropically in one corner of the yard, and fat red tomatoes swelled on the still leafing vines in another. Tendrils of Virginia creeper and wild grape dripped from the pines across the back fence, persimmons hung from the persimmon tree like Christmas ornaments. I had seen all this the previous morning, and many other mornings before that. But now I had stepped into a page from an illuminated fairy tale. Just as that thought entered my mind, three large yellow butterflies appeared, flitting in spirals around me. I laughed aloud: I was in Oz after all🌄… …I can’t think of any other way to put this but to say the sky opened, and grace poured down all around me. Light itself had transformed into a palpable substance, spilling down as if from a fountain. But it was more than light. It was blessings of every kind, goodness incarnate, flowing inexhaustible and immutable from above. I didn’t say to myself, “What is this?” I didn’t guess. I knew, I saw, I was in the presence of God. This wasn’t a God with whom I could have a conversation, at least not two-way. I think I said, or shouted, “Ok, I am DEFINITELY not an atheist,” but God was mute, or rather, I understood, or perceived, that the only response God would ever make was the boundless bounty of beauty cascading over me. After the shock and awe, my first thought was that this gift absurdly overmatched anything I could possibly have deserved. I thought, and said aloud, “Why me?” Instantly, that seemed too pleased with myself. I could just look at this phenomenon that confronted me, this Niagara Falls of beauty pouring down, and know that I hadn’t been “chosen.” I was no one special. This was just what God was, a permanent condition that somehow had remained invisible to me until this moment..” reset.me/story/tried-psychedelic-mushrooms-35-years-saw-light/🌈 🍂🌄🍄🌄🍂

[@jakerichardson4376]

The way Jung conceptualized God proved to me he was an extremely intelligent man. Why waste our time pretending to perceive something that is so incomprehensible. --- God is a very popular topic of discussion, even with non believers. Yet we have 0 evidence of its existence. How did the conversation of God even come about in the first place? --- I believe its an acceptable opinion to believe the Universe was designed by an ultimate creator way more perplexing than any of us could comprehend. If you looked at the physical properties of the universe and how the most elementary particles we know of (quarks) possess the perfect amount of mass to the thousandth degree due to the resistance they felt travelling through the Higgs Field. If anything was even the slightest bit different nothing would hold itself together like it does in the universe. Therefore nothing would exist. This isn't the properties of the particles, but the properties of the fields in which the particles interact. These are the quantum fields that can never be altered but have already been set as the fundamental principles of the universe. This means someone designed the universe to keep itself together and exist in the way it does. It almost seems to good to be true, to perfect to even exist logically. I believe we should spend less time questioning the existence of god and more time understanding the potential behind the greatest gift that was ever given to anyone. This gift is the creation of life, the creation of animated conscientious existence.

There are many people, respected in the field of psychology, Jordan Peterson being one (or is he another one of your heretics), that would praise Jung to the hilt. I don’t like football, I never play it, it goes on season after season like an endless soap opera... but I would never say it was pointless or ‘wrong’ because of my baseless opinions.

'A second time they summoned the man who had been blind. "Give glory to God," they said. "We know this man (Jesus) is a sinner." He replied "Whether he was a sinner or not, I don't know. One thing I know. I was blind, but now I can see!".' One thing I know. I was blind, but now I can see.

[@boibrad]

J. Krishnamurti, a famous indian speaker, said the exact same thing. He emphasized the idea that no person, book, or teaching can prove "God". Use all the words you want but it can only ever point at something with which there are no words to describe. People get so hooked on the words and stories of other people they never bother to really look for themself. He says "the thought of a tree is not a tree" so the point being whatever you think something is, it is not. Even the dao says this, "the dao which can be named is not the dao". We cannot think ourselves into knowing God. It is beyond conceptual knowledge and words will never get us there.

[@boibrad]

@Scott Scotty I agree. I think thats the whole point. Like Alan Watts puts it "its like trying to see your own eyes."

[@boibrad]

@Scott Scotty I see. This is where defining what is being stated is important. I do believe there to be something deeper than the physical world. We can observe this through quantum mechanics. So when I wrote "We cannot think ourselves into knowing God," I was basically referring to the idea that the origins of life and what it all means is beyond our understanding. We can observe the product of whatever is at play ie the universe (or god for some people) but we cannot think of things that are beyond our 5 senses. Our whole frame of reference from which we derive all sense of what is is so tiny that it would be like being face to face with the ground and claiming to know about the earth. Its like trying to explain color to a blind person. There are literally no words to describe it. A blind person can try as hard as they want to think of a color but there is literally no way for them to come to a reasonable conclusion. Just because they cant understand it doesn't mean it doesn't exist though. Circling all the way back to what you originally said, the best we can do is to say idk.

[@boibrad]

@Scott Scotty Have you ever looked into psychology? What you believe is coined as "Physicalism." Its really cool getting to hear these beliefs play out as im currently studying to be a psychologist. A cool thing to think about as someone who believes in physicalism is mental imagery. Are mental images and dreams physical? Are they an illusion? The voice in your head, what is it and where does it come from? These are pretty simple ideas but there are a lot of papers for and against physicalism that I think would be interesting to you.

The intro took like over a minute, with gentle introductive storytelling. Then the interview comes in *bam bam bam* ok we're done here. Fascinating person, C. G. Jung. Back in his time he was rather influential. Perhaps not as much today as his theories seem rather philosophical and metaphysical, more so than in compliance with modern psychology/psychiatry standards of scientific knowledge. But considering my interest in philosophy and spirituality, really seems relevant to read up on Dr Jung.

Can you lease give me some example where 'modern scientific methods' give us better 'accuracy' in comparison to Jung's 'metaphysical' ones? I mean it looks we are quite advanced talking about medicaments, but generaly psychiatry made no real progress as far as I have studied it. Not talking you can never really compare these two eras (Jungs and our) due to the obvious fact modern society suffers from psychological diceases in dramaticaly increased numbers.

“Oh yes” says it all

[@m.h.744]

In a German interview, Jung commented on the statement he made: "That appears to be a very burning question, which I was asked too by the BBC: if I believe in God? I was somewhat baffled by that question and answered: “I don’t have to believe in God, I know it.” And it was only later that I was astonished to have given such an answer. But that is really the case: I have gone through all those phases but have seen then more and more how much we depend on unconscious preconditions - how much we are possessed by certain things. And there I said to myself: Always when men use the name of God or when they are for example gripped by something in an overwhelming manner, then it is the phenomena God. So long it is me who wills and so long I am able to will and do what I will, I am the highest authority of the psychic action. But when I am no longer able to do that and something else enters: this is God." (That was my own interpretation; the original is below:) "Das scheint eine sehr brennende Frage zu sein, die bin ich auch von der BBC gefragt worden: Ob ich an Gott glaube? Die Frage kam etwas verblüffend und da habe ich gesagt: "Ich habe es nicht nötig an Gott zu glauben, ich weiss es." Und bin dann erst nachher darüber erstaunt gewesen, dass ich das geantwortet habe. Aber das ist nun wirklich so: Ich bin durch alle diese Phasen hindurch gegangen und ich habe dann aber in zunehmendem Masse gesehen, dass wir und wie wir von unbewussten Voraussetzungen abhängen! Dass wir und wie wir besessen sind von gewissen Dingen und da habe ich mir gesagt: Immer wenn ein Mensch den Gottesnamen braucht oder zum Beispiel ergriffen wird von etwas in überwältigender Weise, dann ist es das Phänomen Gott. So lange ich will und so lange ich wollen kann und durchführen kann, was ich will, dann bin ich die oberste Instanz des psychischen Geschehens. Wenn ich das aber nicht mehr kann und etwas anderes für mich eintritt: das ist Gott!" Source: minute 30:00 of kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWSlkneQhJmkjLM&ab_channel=GeistundPsyche

[@cringeclown4087]

Good for him.

[@ksenijasam5066]

I think his 'I know' is play of words. You see he was heavy in gnosticism even writing 'Septem sermones ad mortus' and signing it as gnostic mystic. Gnosticism (Ancient Greek γνωστικός) means actually 'having knowledge', so with his 'I know' he tries to subtly imply to his gnostic beliefs or ways that provided such certanty to him. It's more reed between the lines thing, as he was maybe hesitant to be misunderstood by people who wouldn't be able to differenciate between him as psychyatrist and his research discoveries that led him to such gnostic views.

From reading the comments its easy to detect much insecurity from religious believers. Jungs statement was deliberately ambiguous-he chose his words wisely, yet the religious rush to seize his quote as an affirmation of their own beliefs. These types never have the courage to examine the base of that belief-because deep down they are insecure about it and they KNOW the belief is based on nothing but heresay.

The knowing Dr. Jung refers to is available to everyone, absolutely everyone. The kingdom of God is within you. It is a perilous, at times daunting undertaking, that of individuation. Of taking up your cross. Of turning on the light inside, where it gets so unbelievably bright that you see even the smallest imperfections of yourself. And little by little, you inch closer and closer, until you have it. The experience. The experiencing of God. May the heavens bless us all on this, the true grail quest.
