reading Jung is like taking a stroll inside a dream that is a circular maze, you feel like all of this is things you've thought, but couldn't articulate, and upon waking cannot recall. Much appreciated..

[@richardsteiner45]

Because it relates religiosity, but it does it through esoteric “satanic” philosophy.

Just because I show respect to the University that I attended does not make me a liar, it makes me a person of integrity, unlike yourself who displays a negative character based on the slander you appear to willingly deliver upon another individual. It is very clear to me you didn't attend any University because the manner to which you display yourself is not if that of good standing.

For people that don't know alchemy was not the same as modern chemistry but rather a blend of speculative philosophy, spiritual beliefs, and experimental practices. Many great minds were interested in alchemy during their life.

Alchemy is in reference to the secret art transmuting one's... "creative" energy and experiences a higher physical, spiritual and mental energy. Alchemy is polite word for semen retention from a time when talk of sex was off the table.

You should do one about Dark 😁), but esoteric philosophy, metaphysics/ontology, consciousness studies, physics/cosmology/chemistry, psychology, history, politics, & economics, etc. are my great passions & I have been on a spiritual path not unlike that described by Jung.

I feel like if your on a journey of the self; What's your purpose in life;how can you give back to others with the time you have on this earth;how can you make a difference; this is a great book to read. For you to assist others with their psych,or understand cultural and religious beliefs and customs though a lens that's not clouded by your own beliefs,one must first BREAK DOWN and understand their own beliefs and thought processes. This book does just that, it makes you think of yourself and all your prior learnings/teachings with an out of the box scrutiny that if one truly applies to themselves no longer allows you to judge one religion or cultural belief/practice any more or less that you do your own. Not the best writing,sorry for the run on sentences but that's the best way I could describe this book and what it did for me 🥰

He lacked the knowledge we have today. Be thankful for the knowledge we now know! Today we have words for things they had to explain at such an extensive length back then. No man has all the answers in his lifetime. His words are time bound.

[@user-is3yn7xr4c]

There are still untranslated writings. Therefore, he was still has the knowledge of human indigenous psychosocial qualities that are still too complex to the narrowly atomistic comprehension of the average western mind in the digital generation. The statement of "No man has all the answer in his lifetime" is simply a semantic error, because its presupposition assumes that the answers are supposedly being produced or coming out from the questioning man, which is simply a logical fallacy, because it completely disregard the actual sources of the answers, which is the external environment. Actually, there are still a number of historical events that are yet to understand even with the technology today because of the materialistic prejudice by the atomistic scientists

I just wanted to point out, I took MDMA & NOS together a few times and had the most enlightening experience like there were two truths, or the truth of each opposite which seemed like a paradox but in that moment, I realised that the truth is a paradox in some way because I was experiencing the paradox of being pulled between two opposite truths to which both seemed real to me.

It's interesting because Jung himself is speaking from within the Christian culture. But he's right about Christians. They are all on the surface. I learned long ago to avoid and run from those who profess to be Christian or wholey aligned with any narrow religious practice. They are always and invariably unaware of themselves, their darker motives and the damage that does to those around them.
