God is both "out there" and "in here". God permeates everthing. And even though we ourselves are well beyond our own fathoming, there remains much else beyond our capacity to fully understand that must exist outside and beyond ourselves. The fundamental recognition of God, in my opinion, begins with the apprehension that an individual, with a single mind and possible "free will" (with the possibility to alter the nature of future reality through "choice"), is yet part of an much greater and encompassing system. That ultimately everything is information, and "information is everything". That all physical processes are ultimately informational processes, that mind itself must be some kind of informational process, and that, even as we as individuals are embedded within a much greater physical reality, the informational processes corresponding to our intelligences are similarly embedded and emersed within a much vaster intelligence.

To those who are seeking gnosis, and finding true self, I commend you with the highest compassion, as I know how hard this journey is. Recently, I've felt like my ego is a wounded animal, desperate to self preserve by identifying with my highest self. Sometimes it feels like I'm going insane, trying to outwit my ego, but through meditation, I can reach this peace of true self, as I become cellularly one with the Source. And I'm happy for everyone else on this path with me. Jung is such an inspiration.

This is crazy, and super synchronistic. Like two weeks ago i watched that same interview and had to rewind on that same specific segment, and i was surprised the interviewer just brushed off that answer like it was nothing !!! I know EXACTLY what he means. In that same interview he talks about an experience he had when he was 11, where he said something along the lines of "I came out of the fog". He experienced God in his own consciousness. This is what I experienced about two months ago, for 5 minutes my ego construct was gone, and I experienced the beauty that lies behind this construct. It came in combination with a kundalini awakening over a longer period of time and I even had a psychotic breakdown lol, but it was the best experience I've had in my entire life. Synchronicities became clear as day, I saw meaning and symbolism in everything, the universe was sort of like speaking to me, I felt connected to everything, I felt enormous energy, purpose, clarity and creativity. When you experience this you just KNOW what God is. And it became even more clear to me how the current society and way of thinking about the world leads you in the complete other direction. Every human has the ability to experience this. Every, single, one, of, us. "I am in the father and the father is in me" = "My individual consciousness is in the universal consciousness, and the universal consciousness is in me."

God is a word with a meaning moving towards "Absolute". God to science is absolute knowledge, but science does not call absolute knowledge God. People say God is "Absolute Love" or that God is "Absolute Answer" or God is ''Absolute Peace" or God is "Absolute Power" or God is "Absolute Passion" or God is "Absolute Principle". This is peoples attempt to reach the "Absolute" of an idea then attempting to define this idea into a meaning that is understandable. Then when you finally understand you get to understand beauty, but beauty was always there in the stories you just didn't understand why this was God. You're a child in a story who is trying to remember why, who, when, what and how.

[@illougal_invader]

You are God in the flesh. You are nature. You are millions of billions of cells. They all have energy in them they all live. You perceive the world trough his eyes so your eyes. Everyone is doing gods work. Be it evil or benevolent. He is she is dark and the light. The mother has a womb and in it there is darkness being born is being taken into the light. Being alive is being consciousness. Doing what is needed to stay alive and to keep your friends and family alive is nature. Doing what you think is right is dependent on your DNA your upbringing your surroundings and your amount of trauma and your ability to deal with that trauma. Jung found out what a human is in its core and how you keep that healthy, prosperous and strong. A human needs purpose if taken away this purpose in what ever way you'll encounter trauma be it trough a chemical unbalance or nutritional unbalance or a imbalance in status or place and role in social settings this human being will find the animal inside and if there is no integration of the two you'll end up like me or any other outcast out of the garden. Yung showed the people he loved the way to stability and others tried to copy his path. But not knowing how he came to know what he knows is going into the dark without a light to guide you. So before you type anything I suggest you read his texts and even then you'll need the tools he uses to get to the point of understanding. If you look at sick people like Hitler or other high social ranking people they all have one thing in common. They do what is necessary for them and their offspring be it their legacy or children. Every king or queen thought they were doing gods work. God is your perception of the world. God is the sun. God is the cells in your body. God is live that is unbelievable big. God is in your mind. Yung is trying to show you the door only you have to walk through it. You need outside stimulants and inside stimulants to be. The Anime and Animus. You are the vessel of God. Your body is the temple of God. Your brain is the seat of God. I am slowly getting worse and worse so here is some advice of a broken man. Live your life it is your live it is your connection to God internally and externally. Go and meet up with nature animals and people before your take your last breath. Create in what ever way you see fit because this is like God the omnipresent energy of life. And then live with the outcome this brings because that's what it is until you leave this earth behind. God bless you all.

Why can you not reach Me through the object you touch Or breathe Me through sweet perfumes? Why do you not see Me? Why do you not hear Me? Why? Why? Why? For you My delights surpass all other delights, And the pleasure I procure you surpasses all other pleasures. For you I am preferable to all other good things, I am Beauty, I am Grace. Love Me, love Me alone. Love yourself in Me, in Me alone. Attach yourself to Me, No one is more inward than I. Others love you for their own sakes, I love you for yourself. And you, you flee from Me. Dearly beloved! You cannot treat Me fairly, For if you approach Me, It is because I have approached you. I am nearer to you than yourself, Than your soul, than your breath. Who among creatures Would treat you as I do? I am jealous of you, over you, I want you to belong to no other, Not even to yourself. Be Mine, be for Me as you are in Me, Though you are not even aware of it. Dearly beloved! Let us go toward Union. And if we find the road That leads to separation, We will destroy separation. Let us go hand in hand. Let us enter the presence of Truth. Let It be our judge And imprint Its seal upon our union For ever. From: Henri Corbin.

My Mother Had Taught Me To Seek All Truth In The Bible.” From my personal experience this statement is very true, I am a Muslim and awhile back my faith was very strong and I used to call god upon his names during the course of the day from morning till night and I can affirm that it was as if I was living in a different world, full of joy and smiling and no tension or worries and even if trouble came my way I knew that everything is from god and that there will be a solution and if no solution then it will be replaced with something better, I was not chasing materialistic things but only to please god alone by remembering him wherever I was and everything I was doing cannot break his law, and it is very strange because I used to have dreams where I have no words to describe them, it was as if god was rewarding me for overcoming the struggles of temptations which I had avoided and possibly a reminder from god to show me that the path I am in is leading to some place but now my faith is very weak and I commit sins and have forgotten god and I’m depressed and every minute of the day I’m stressing and never had I see those kind of dreams until I started calling god upon his beloved names and never have I seen them after I started to weaken in my faith and there had come a time where even if a lion was to confront me I would respond very accordingly to the situation of dealing with it without even thinking but there also has come a time where I was afraid of trees and walls and fear in my heart for no reason at all because I had forgotten god and chosen the way of Satan which is sin. This is only my experience and I wanted to share it with you guys but how do you explain my dreams? How!!!? It was very difficult to not stare at a beautiful girl the second glance and to suppress ones anger when you get angry at someone for the sake of god and for these struggles I believe the dreams were all from god and were divine dreams, there are 2 sides to this world the light side and the dark side and you have the choice but choose the light and call upon god and say if you’re real then I’m seeking you and guide me to you and if you go towards god a length of a palm he will come to you a hand span. Just remember wherever there is order then there is intelligence behind it, you can look around you, the tv and anything around you was made with precision and yet when it comes to the universe which is really really complex then you say this is by chance and then I say to you you’re not doing yourself a favour and with that I rest my case

Here is what I mean when I say "I don't have to believe, I know." And this may be precisely what Jung meant. But I am a man of fewer words, and am very concise. And here is why I say that "I know": I know that there is an absolute Reality that one can call "GOD," which is in total control of absolutely everything because it IS absolutely everything. GOD is the Mind that is ALL. And I know this because I have found this Truth through Reason and Revelation, such that I cannot possibly believe otherwise.

In Vedic philosophy, “Atman is Brahman.” This means the inner “I am,” the inner witness, inner pure consciousness, is transcendently one with the all. Or as Carl Sagan says “we are the universe witnessing itself. Behind all form is matter (eg. A pot which becomes the schema of a clay pot, made of clay; the clay is made of molecules, now molecules are the form, the abstraction, and so on to atoms, to particles, to subatomic particles, and ultimately to the unknown life essence, to an unknown fabric of unity. Another perspective is per Alfred Korzybski, his structural differential and his saying “the symbol is not the thing, the map is not the territory;” which is consistent with the Vedic “the word is not that.” So the word God, is JUST a word pointing to a realization, to an inner experience of oneness, with an often personification or anthropomorphic existence reflecting the higher self. Even Judaism has the 100 names of God, including Ein Sof the ultimate unknowable existence. And there is validity to the experience of inner energies of qualities, even archetypal energies. Quantum Gravity Research in California has posited a theory of existence as a multi-dimensional quasi-crystal, with consciousness as a dimension of this quasi-crystal. This is supports “Atman is Brahma;” and this how many know there is God, it’s an enlightenment, an inner experience of unity consciousness, a unity of the inner and outer worlds. Dogan (the 13th century zen monk) said “There is no disclosing without nature, there is no mind without disclosing.” You see the inbetween the inner and outer is our body, which is the instrument for revealing, with vibration of sound to word and stories and song, with dance, with music, with gestures, with art, with love. All this can be in service to inner consciousness, even to the outer patterns of life and sustainability. One can not explain God consciousness without mentioning the ego (thank you Carl Jung). It is our stages of ego development (I must add fear, worthiness, and other inner energies etc.) that hinder a realization of higher consciousness, that keep us in rationality, in fundamentalism, in political disagreement, in nationalism, in tyranny, in consumerism, in wars, in tribalism, in self destruction (a few of many ego dev researchers- Erickson, Wilber, Loevinger, Beck, Graves etc.). This is also related to 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th stages of personal perspective of others, so well discussed by Dr. John Churchill. The negative ego is what represses the self and others, the source of evil; and the positive ego is nurturing, and supportive of sustainability. The higher self is world-centric, sometimes Kosmocentric-centric, and concerned for all rights not just self-rights or selfishness. Unfortunately, 70% of the world’s population do not advance beyond the rational phase.

Carl Jung's letter to you… the difference between believing and knowing. 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.

i got into jung some time ago. it's weird because I arrived on the same conclusion from another angle (to me god was Chaos), but i see a commonality and a bridge between his and mine interpretation: the Self is all the possibilities of what i could become from birth. at that moment it was pure chaos, or it would have been determined to be something else (still, in the limits given by being a human). knowing yourself, your mind, is the same as meeting the personal god he talks about, in which they're both pure chaos. only chaos can have an essence: the other things are structured and formed in an orderly way by things around them, by laws of physics or our interpretation of them. your Self then gets formed by your experiences and actions, what you've perceived and what you've produced, narrowing down a path of habit and identification to external things to itSelf, creating your personality, a mask that covers your essence. uncovering that mask is caused by a psychedelic experience (like schizophrenia, where you don't have to make an effort to discover your mind, because you project it on the external world. other kinds of psychosis lock you in into the chain, diverting it from going in a straight line to going in a loop. you then see your mind not because of a projection, but because of habit) or thought (like jung's realization that you're both a subject and an object. this happens early in childhood and could explain why everybody has believed in a god, unconsciously, until they decided they didn't, because they couldn't experience it nor think about it. but there are more psychedelic thoughts like that one: any one that produces doubt about your identity, or the state of the world, and makes you wonder about the possibilities that were discarded and never realized), your mind reveals itself and you have access to its structures. with enough effort and time, you could destructure it layer by layer, going back in the causal determined chain of events that happened to you more and more as the possibilities were reduced to the life that you have lived.

He uses a large vocabulary to abstractly describe already understood basic concepts of 'God' in a very elaborate fashion.

There are several kinds of "God" one can refer to. 1. The hypothetical being who created the universe (derived from the Kalam Cosmological Argument) 2. The laws/forces governing the material world 3. The being described in scriptures who appeared in specific events to specific people 4. The universal experience that one has of God, which could be described as something like a projection of one's highest values, or one's conscience. I believe this is what people are talking to when they believe that they are praying (based on my experience and the testimony of people who describe their prayer life) IMO, there is very good reason to believe in #1. It seems to me that if the cosmological argument is not valid, then the beginning of existence is totally outside the bounds of human understanding. If we trust our senses and our reason, then we KNOW that #2 exists. #4 comes from our own personal experience, so we KNOW that there is something in us that can be communicated with, and seems to have a will separate from our conscious will. If #1 exists, it seems reasonable to conclude that #1 and #2 could likely be the same thing (or at least related somehow). I see no evidence that 3 and 4 are connected with any of the others, however. They could be entirely different things (in which case, the testimony in scriptures is a combination of good psychology, false anthropomorphizing of natural phenomena, confusion, and wishful thinking). Given that I think Christianity is the most profound of all the religions in principle, but that there is immense confusion within the churches, I believe this is the most-likely scenario.

[@donthesitatebegin9283]

I agree that #1 and #2 are the same, the very Thing-in-itself at the centre and origin of the Universe, and I identify this as-yet-unknown Thing-in-itself with the First Principle of the Universe and with Spinoza's God, Einstein's God, the non-Supernatural Secular God of the Rationalist Philosophers - the unmistakable target and inevitable destination of the history of human ideas. "The Theory of Everything would be the ultimate triumph of human reason, for then we would truly know the Mind of God" - Stephen Hawking. Subsequently the Thing-in-itself will be revealed, in all of its beauty and simplicity, and all the Supernatural Sky-Gods of religion will vanish in a puff of logic.

carl jung heavily influenced AA, which has the phrases "god as you understand him" or "higher power". 14 years ago I turned myself over to a power greater than myself. I became sober, undepressed, and had a great life. about 7-8 years later I became a science teacher and then started to identify as agnostic/atheist. I became physically disabled. I live with chronic pain. I thought very seriously about trying to pursue assisted suicide in a legal manner in a different country. I finally decided again to try the "God delusion" as Hawkins would call it. I started reading spiritual books again. I start praying and meditating again. some minutes I am a believer in the sublime. in other minutes, I cannot wait for my stardust to return to the universe and begin their long decay into nothingness. However, I am happiest when I am working towards some goal to help others with a steady belief that my higher power is using me in some small way for the good of all. you can call me a fool, you can call me whatever, I don't care anymore what people think of me for the most part. I once had dream that went roughly as so. it was a surreal dream. I woke up in my childhood room, but things were slightly different. I was sleeping on my cot from daycare. I heard God's voice call to me in a low yet still thunderous rumble. I crawled out my window, saying "God is that you"? to which he replied "yes!!!". I then said "prove it" and I saw the largest shooting star I had ever seen. to which I responded, "well that could be a coincidence". then the entire sky turned to white from shooting stars, and yet still I said "this could all be a coincidence". but then God spoke my name with such a thundering power that I felt his presence and it was undeniable. humbled, I fell to the ground said, "I am so glad I found! I have been looking for you everywhere, there is so much I want to know!" to which God responded with a chuckle "ok, what do you want to know". Immediately with no hesitation, I blurted out "EVERYTHING!!!. God just chuckled again and said, "ok, let's go". we took off at the speed of light and God taught me everything in an instant that lasted for an eternity. God then said, "okay you are going to wake up, but you won't remember anything that I taught you, except......" Reflexively I started to want to protest, but after a split second, a lump in my throat caught the first syllable. How could I argue with God. with humility I nodded to his decree. God laughed a final time. it's a laugh that that gives you nirvana and God said, "just remember that I am". then I woke up. I had been having a number of sleep paralysis dreams prior to this dream. they went away and did not come back for years. Years later I read that God revealed himself to Moses in a similar way. Moses called him Yahweh which means, "I am" part of the time I know it truly was God. the other part the time I doubt it. However, when life goes wrong. I lean on that concept of God for my sanity. at these times I would say "I know there is a God, I met him, and the dude is funny as fuck".

I believe that could've been more than a dream. You may have in fact been manipulated, not by some mythical "Creator," but by the Warden/Demiurge of this planetary system. It's intent (perhaps) is to keep us confused and ignorant of our true spiritual estate (hence the violent plethora of contradicting world-views and religions) trapped in perpetual amnesia, with powerful suggestions/reprogramming (in between lives) using an energy-drug we interpret as "Love." It cooks-up and/or stands by while we confabulate the toxic brew of Faiths and ideologies we so love to slaughter one another over, keeping us eternally divided and in pain. But It needs recruits willing to remain acquiescent to It's domination of the souls trapped in the Earth system, thus It continually sews contradiction and confusion with various forms of "Light;" (NDE's, personal encounters with "God," Jesus and all the rest of the religious and New Age crunk), helping to engender the faith - any kind of faith - It so desperately needs us blinded with, so that we don't manage to wiggle out of the control-net upon death and accidentally reclaim our true heritage as eternal individuated entities, with a score to settle with those who condemned us here...maybe. At any rate, any Creator that can jovially laugh in any context with all the evil committed in His name, is no Creator of mine. "Being Mysterious is no excuse for being a dick." The ratio of Dark-to-Light in this Reality is far too out-of-line for me to accept there is a supernatural benevolence underlying everything... (By the way, the meaning of "Yahweh" is more of an obtuse title meaning "I Shall Prove To Be Who I Shall Prove To Be," It is _not_ "I AM." If you study the history of the dark belief systems sponsored by this Construct/Entity, you may uncover profound, unacceptable contradictions).

Carl Jung and Jordan Peterson are two of the most inspirational people. They could literally save the world between them 😊

[@zaraveen8566]

Who is Jordan Peterson? I'm intriqued to learn more.

[@cclark3]

@@zaraveen8566 He is a Canadian clinical psychologist and he's become very popular over the last few years. In my personal experience he's helped me beyond measure with my existential depression and anxiety.

[@tomrhodes1629]

I'm sorry MadCat Lady, but those two are in totally different leagues. Jordan Peterson is lost, while Carl Jung is found. My opinion. But I am the prophesied return of the biblical prophet Elijah. Jung was very good. And if you want to surpass even Jung, "A Course in Miracles" is the ultimate psychology curriculum, from The Source Itself. I would have answered this question the exact same way that Jung did. And as I say, I am the prophesied return of the biblical prophet Elijah. Here is what I mean when I say "I don't have to believe, I know." And this may be precisely what Jung meant. But I am a man of fewer words, and am very concise. And here is why I say that "I know": I know that there is an absolute Reality that one can call "GOD," which is in total control of absolutely everything because it IS absolutely everything. GOD is the Mind that is ALL. And I know this because I have found this Truth through Reason and Revelation, such that I cannot possibly believe otherwise.

"We" are all prisoners born of "God's" conception, therefore "God" has yet to be born. Try and think of what happens in the split-second an egg becomes fertilized., now imagine on a god-scale from within higher intra-dimensional levels that "we", along with nature/physical reality, are the byproduct of that process unfolding. So there's no reason whatsoever to fear or worship., THAT which "we" all are already a part of. The Shiva Linga is the precursor of the Holy Trinity in describing what is taking place across intra-dimensional levels of existence of a singular being's metamorphosis into..., a God? Just as the physical universes experience multiple crunches and expansions like a heartbeat., this being "we" are all part of, will eventually reach a stage in its progress where it will withdraw into itself all of the knowledge or data acquired through experiences from those separate individual consciousnesses whose Souls were able to make it through and beyond the life stages of Mineral, Vegetable and Animal. That's all "we" are., packets of information whose ego-identity becomes sacrificed upon subsumption into the One. Do any of you know what you're really asking for in seeking ultimate liberation? If you enjoy inhabiting a human or any other form capable of expressing your individual character and Will., you're not ready for mergence. With that said., Who are my parents?

I studied Jung for 10+ years. I know what he meant when he said those words. There is a thread running through all 'religions' which is the same, same, same. The task for those who want to know is to be able to transcend all opposites. And as that is usually a spontaneous experience even the 'task' is probably meaningless. There are few people who 'know', millions who believe irrationally, and those who want to know, but to 'want to know' will mean abandoning all materialism, but as we have been conditioned otherwise, it is virtually impossible. I would say watch the progress of quantum theory and read 'The Tao of Physics' by Fritjof Capra. It was written in the 1970s but certainly relevant to this discussion. ☮

Yes, exactly! You, my good Sir, have studied Jung indeed. You are correct; Jung states that it's a being that has never lost its numinosity through out time. The Tao of Physics is a great book, and it feels like it was written only yesterday with almost 60 years old. Great comment and highly underrated!

Carl Jung sure is a friendly chap; prob easier to have a beer with than most. Thumbs up #913 i think carl jung tackled every possible angle humanly possible in his written letter-response. We have to remember, we have common experiences as humans but there is no common way of retelling, nor sharing them; the best we can do is to acknowledge the uniqueness of each contribution, and highlight those that encourage a similar journey. Very inspiring. Thumbs up again (if possible) END

[@snek4913]

I think we need to question "faith" itself. I see people always demanding to see God, to hear God, criticize religion for believing in the non sense. Emphasis on "sense". God here isn't just Jesus, or any particular god. What they're trying to do is to make sense out of the universe. They try to bring logic into faith and therefore try to destroy faith, claiming it is irrational. And it is irrational. But that is exactly the reason it's called "faith". If you believe in God because you can see him, what makes "God" different than just a man of higher position (pardon my poor English vocabulary)? In that scenario you don't actually believe in god, you believe in your logical world where god is just another logical subject. Hence Kierkegaards words "Leap of Faith", to have faith in something that requires no explanation, no logical reason, to do something without excuse. It's faith for one authentic self, not some kind of oppressing order in the disguise of religion. Now the problem lies in wether you want to settle down with the answer of faith, or you discard it and wander into the free and meaningless dark, which is where the line between monotheistic and atheistic existentialism. I think that's why Carl Jung "knows", yet he can't explain it. Because it will no longer be "faith" if he explain it.

[@esstee9595]

His letter is awfully convoluted to say the least. I don't think he knew what he thought he knew. They say true experts explain their subject matter such that laymen can understand. I add, "in a sentence of 10 words or less." That Perteson was heavily influenced by Jung comes as no suprise. He's equally convoluted at times.

[@allloren7277]

Whether something’s expressed in a convoluted way has no barring on someone’s expertise, knowledge, or understanding of something. I’ve interacted with a number of university professors whose explanations of ideas can be expressed as “awfully convoluted” as well. Suffice to say that’s never diminished the fact that they’re experts and teachers in their field just because their explanations are “convoluted”
