Carl Jung had a religious upbringing as the son and grandson of Protestant ministers in Switzerland. He had an early childhood dream of a phallic god that influenced his views on religion and psychology. Jung went on to study psychiatry and develop his theories on the collective unconscious and archetypes. He collaborated with Sigmund Freud but later diverged from Freud's view that human motivation was exclusively sexual. Jung saw religion as arising from the archetypes of the collective unconscious. He believed that individuation, the process of integrating one's conscious and unconscious aspects, was a religious process akin to spiritual development. However, Jung maintained an agnostic position to preserve his scientific objectivity in analyzing religious experiences and symbols psychologically.
Carl Jung came from a Christian family background but had a complex relationship with religion. He was interested in archetypes, the collective unconscious, and individuation. While he acknowledged the psychological importance of religious concepts like God, he maintained an agnostic viewpoint to preserve his scientific integrity. Jung believed religious experiences originated from archetypes in the collective unconscious. He saw individuation as a religious process involving the integration of the conscious and unconscious.
Carl Jung was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who founded analytical psychology. Some of his key contributions include the concepts of archetypes, the collective unconscious, complex, and synchronicity. Jung proposed that archetypes are innate universal prototypes for ideas and may be found in myths, religion, and dreams. The collective unconscious consists of structures common to mankind, structured around archetypes. Jung identified 12 primary archetypes representing basic human motivations and personality traits. He also studied the anima/animus archetypes and the self archetype. Jung's work significantly influenced fields such as psychology, philosophy, and religion.
Archetypes - built environment architectureguestuser7
The document discusses literary archetypes, which are repeated patterns and symbols that evoke deep, unconscious responses in readers. Common archetypes in literature include characters like the hero, villain, and earth mother. Situational archetypes include the quest, initiation, and fall from grace. Recurring images like the sun, water, and colors also act as archetypes and can symbolize ideas like life, wisdom, and emotions. The document provides many examples of character, situational, and image archetypes found across genres of literature throughout history.
Freud and psychoanalysis are summarized in 3 sentences: Freud developed psychoanalysis which focuses on unconscious motivations and how early life experiences shape adult behavior. Psychoanalysis uses techniques like free association and analysis of dreams and transference in therapy to make the unconscious conscious. While influential, psychoanalysis has been criticized for being difficult to prove empirically and for some of Freud's theoretical tenets like his sexual theories.
Revisiting Oedipus: The Weakened Masculinity of Modern ManJames Tobin, Ph.D.
In my opinion, it is an era of weakened masculinity. Anecdotal evidence and scientific research suggest the presence of a large demographic of men who lack self-esteem, have difficulty forming and maintaining positive relationships, are poor decision-makers, resort to a variety of high-risk and maladaptive behaviors including internet pornography, substance abuse, and sex and work addiction, and harbor a general dissatisfaction with their quality of life. Although Freud is viewed by many to be obsolete at this point in time, for me his perspective on the Oedipus myth provides a compelling psychological explication of the predicament of modern men. In this talk, I will outline my understanding of Freud’s interpretation of Oedipus, its ramifications for male psychological development, and its relevance to the contemporary problems of men. What I have also discovered in my analysis of Oedipus is the emergence of a theory of male sexual addiction which centers on the man’s compulsive attempt to proclaim his identity in the context of it never having existed.
Carl Jung was a Swiss psychiatrist who founded analytical psychology. Some key points of his theory include:
1) He proposed the collective unconscious - a reservoir of experiences shared by humanity that influences our behaviors and emotions. It contains archetypes - innate tendencies to experience things in certain ways.
2) Major archetypes include the mother, representing nurturing relationships, and the shadow, representing repressed desires and the "dark side" of humanity.
3) Dreams, myths, and spiritual experiences across cultures provide evidence of the collective unconscious and archetypes. Near-death experiences in particular suggest we are "built" to experience death in similar ways.
4) Jung diverged from Freud by arguing archetypes
Carl Jung disagreed with Freud on several aspects of psychoanalysis, leading him to develop his own theory called analytic psychology. Jung believed in a collective unconscious that is inherited and contains archetypes - primordial symbols and images like myths that are shared among all humans. Freud saw the unconscious as personal, but Jung argued it sits above a deeper collective layer of consciousness. Jung introduced the concepts of archetypes like The Shadow, Anima/Animus, and The Self to describe patterns in the collective unconscious. Other archetypes include family roles, story characters, and animal symbols that recur across cultures.

This document provides an overview of Carl Jung's theory of the psyche and how it can be applied to interpret Shakespeare's The Tempest. It explains Jung's concepts of the personal unconscious, collective unconscious, ego, archetypes like the shadow and anima/animus. It analyzes how Prospero, Ariel, and Caliban represent different parts of the psyche and how Prospero grows through balancing the opposites they represent according to Jungian theory.
Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961) was a pioneering Swiss psychiatrist who founded analytical psychology. While initially collaborating with Sigmund Freud, Jung parted ways with Freud over their differing views of the unconscious mind. Jung believed in a personal unconscious as well as a collective unconscious containing innate, universal psychic elements called archetypes. He developed theories of psychological types and functions, distinguishing between extraversion and introversion. Jung's theories formed the basis for personality tests like the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. Jung saw individuation, or integrating one's conscious and unconscious elements, as key to personal growth and becoming whole. He recorded his extensive experiences with the unconscious, dreams, and fantasies in his famous "Red Book."
Carl Jung disagreed with some of Freud's theories and developed his own ideas. He believed that in addition to personal experiences, humans are influenced by innate archetypes from our ancestors and collective unconscious. Jung also believed that libido or psychic energy is not just sexual, but drives us towards many goals. He introduced concepts like introversion/extroversion and thinking/feeling as ways we process information. Jung explored ideas like the shadow self and anima/animus that influence our behavior outside our conscious awareness.
Jung's Theory of Personality: Jung had discussed about certain concepts that are important in personality formation. Some of these concepts are archetypes, anima, animus, shadow, personal and collective unconscious, and ego.
PHINEAS P. QUIMBY: THE MODERN WORLD’S FIRST TRUE PSYCHOANALYSTDr Ian Ellis-Jones
Phineas P. Quimby was a 19th century American clockmaker and healer who is considered a pioneer in the fields of alternative healing, mental therapeutics, and psychosomatic medicine. He developed a method of insight-oriented psychotherapy combined with autosuggestion that treated illnesses by addressing the mind-body connection. Quimby's system paved the way for modern psychoanalysis and the understanding that functional illnesses can be caused or influenced by the mind. After recovering from tuberculosis through alternative methods like carriage rides, Quimby began practicing mesmerism and traveling around New England, treating patients and inspiring the development of the New Thought movement.
Carl Jung had a disturbed childhood due to his mother's mental illness. He became interested in psychiatry after reading Krafft-Ebing's Psychopathia Sexualis. Jung furthered his education at the University of Basel medical school and joined the Burghölzli psychiatric hospital. There he began pioneering work with word association tests. Jung initially collaborated with Sigmund Freud but they later had a falling out over theoretical disagreements. Jung went on to develop his theories of archetypes, the collective unconscious, introversion and extroversion, individuation, and more. He recorded his visions and imaginings during a midlife crisis in The Red Book. Jung had a large influence on the fields of psychology and psychotherapy.
THE PSYCHOLOGIST AND THE MAGICIAN: SOME GOOD ADVICE ON HOW TO SEE LIFE AS IT ...Dr Ian Ellis-Jones
This document summarizes and discusses the short story "The Psychologist and the Magician" by Ernest Christopher Rodwick. It tells the story of a psychologist named Professor Herman von Scholtz who agrees to undergo an "ordeal" with a magician named Marbado in a Himalayan cave. The psychologist must walk through the cave regardless of what he sees, hears, feels or thinks. The story is an allegory about how the mind can be "hypnotized" by illusions and beliefs that have no real power or existence. It illustrates how we identify with mental projections and concepts of self that cause suffering but don't truly exist. By refusing to accept the illusions, the psychologist is able to walk through
Psychoanalytic criticism analyzes literary texts through the lens of Freudian psychoanalytic theory. It views texts as expressions of unconscious desires and aims to reveal hidden meanings by interpreting symbols and themes. The unconscious, according to psychoanalysis, contains repressed emotions and experiences and finds expression through dreams, artworks, and other creative acts. Surrealist art in particular drew inspiration from dreams and the unconscious in an effort to access untapped creative ideas, rather than for purposes of interpretation or therapy.
Sigmund Freud was an Austrian neurologist who developed psychoanalysis, a method of analyzing unconscious conflicts through free association, dreams, and fantasies. Freud's theories on topics like the Oedipus complex, libido, and the ego structure of the id, ego, and superego were highly influential. Psychoanalytic criticism applies Freudian concepts like the Oedipus complex to analyze literary characters and their motivations, as well as exploring the unconscious desires and anxieties that may have influenced the author. Critics examine works for evidence of things like repressed emotions, psychological conflicts, and childhood traumas that shaped the author and are reflected in their writing. Famous examples include Freud's analysis of Hamlet in
Carl Jung was a Swiss psychiatrist who founded analytical psychology. He proposed concepts like archetypes, the collective unconscious, and individuation. Jung believed that archetypes like the mother, shadow, and persona exist in the collective unconscious and can be experienced through symbols. He also developed ideas about personality types, the dynamics of opposites in the psyche, and the shift from acquiring identity in the first half of life to a focus on the soul in the second half. While influential, some of Jung's theories like the reality of the collective unconscious remain challenged.
Carl Jung was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst in the early 20th century. He studied medicine and became interested in psychiatry. He worked with Sigmund Freud for several years but disagreed with Freud's belief that sexuality was the sole driving force of the unconscious mind. Jung developed his own theory called analytical psychology and focused on the collective unconscious and different personality types. He believed dreams were influenced by the unconscious mind and wrote extensively on symbolism, mythology and spirituality. Jung's theories are still influential today in therapy and dream interpretation.
Carl Jung founded analytical psychology and developed concepts like the collective unconscious and archetypes. He disagreed with Freud on concepts like libido. Jung believed psychic energy could fuel personality development, not just sexuality. He described extraversion and introversion based on where people direct their psychic energy, outwardly or inwardly. Jung identified functions like sensing, intuiting, thinking and feeling that could be extraverted or introverted. He believed archetypes in the collective unconscious like persona, shadow and anima/animus influenced behavior. Jung developed stages of ego development from childhood through middle age and used techniques like word association, symptom analysis and dream analysis.
Carl Jung developed the theory of analytical psychology and the concepts of the personal and collective unconscious. He believed humans are motivated by both individual experiences and inherited tendencies from ancestors. Jung proposed that the psyche aims for balance through incorporating opposing elements like introversion and extraversion. The goal of Jungian therapy is for clients to achieve self-realization by integrating the various parts of their psyche.
1. Jungian psychology proposes that every person has both masculine and feminine aspects to their psyche, known as the anima and animus.
2. The anima represents a man's inner feminine side and takes on female archetypes like Eve, Helen, and Mary at different stages of life. For women, the animus is the inner masculine side and also progresses through stages like the Athlete and Professor.
3. People can become more whole by achieving self-realization and balance between the conscious and unconscious through active imagination and assimilating the contents of dreams and fantasies.
Carl Jung founded analytical psychology and disagreed with Freud's theories about sexuality. Jung believed in a collective unconscious containing archetypes inherited across generations. He proposed that the psyche is made of the conscious mind and unconscious parts like the personal unconscious, collective unconscious, anima/animus, shadow, and self. Jung used dream analysis and helped patients understand themselves to independently solve problems and cope with their environment. His theories contributed to understanding personality development and designing education to realize students' potential.
An introductory interpretation of Carl Jung as Mircea Eliade's shaman. Building from C. Michael Smith's book Jung and Shamanism: In Dialogue, I also interpreted other elements I learned about Jung and his life that connect to shamanism. In this presentation, I learned that shamanism connects a lot to Jung's analytical psychology, and Jung's own role was shamanic.
Carl Gustav Jung was born in 1875 in Switzerland. He had a kind but weak father, and a powerful, problematic mother who may have had two personalities and was hospitalized. Jung struggled to separate from his mother's influence. Much of Jung's psychology attempted to find a substitute for his orthodox religious upbringing. He worked in a mental hospital from 1900 to 1909 and then pursued private practice. Jung differed from Freud in finding religious experience as important as sexuality. Jung developed concepts including the collective unconscious, archetypes like the anima/animus and shadow, and the persona. He believed unconscious contents like myths served a positive function in providing meaning and compensation.
1. The document discusses different types of knowledge - direct sensory perception, reasoning, and knowledge from scripture.
2. It argues that direct perception and reasoning have limitations and defects, as the senses are imperfect and speculation leaves us uncertain.
3. The only way to attain perfect and absolute knowledge is through knowledge from Vedic scripture, as it comes directly from God without human interpretation and is not limited by the senses. This knowledge can lead one to the highest truth and realization.
Jung introduced the theory of analytical psychology in 1914. He believed personality is made up of interacting systems, including the conscious ego, personal unconscious, complexes, collective unconscious, and archetypes. The personal unconscious contains memories and experiences that have been forgotten or suppressed, while the collective unconscious consists of inherited experiences from ancestry. Archetypes in the collective unconscious include personas, anima, animus, and the self, which tries to synthesize all personality components into a unified whole known as self-actualization. Jung also described introversion and extraversion as personality types.

Jung believed that archetypes from religion, mythology and dreams provided clues to the human unconscious mind. He introduced concepts such as the shadow, anima/animus, and the self. Jung differed from Freud in believing that exploring the unconscious could help treat both mentally ill and neurotypical patients.
The document summarizes numerous similarities between the children's book "Travels with Li Po", written in 1990, and the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling. It notes that both feature a boy who is secretly a sorcerer/wizard and must be trained, include themes of existential abandonment and the search for enlightenment through the Philosopher's Stone, and have similar sub-themes and story structures. Examples of similar phrases and descriptive styles between the two works are also presented. The author claims the book "Travels with Li Po" predates the Harry Potter series but was never published.
The document provides an analysis of Cormac McCarthy's novel Blood Meridian. It discusses several key characters and events in the novel, including:
1) The Kid joins Glanton's gang and collects scalps on their violent adventures. He later meets the mysterious and terrifying Judge.
2) The Judge is an enigmatic and dangerous man who believes in a philosophy of violence. He uses cruelty to "raise" children according to his twisted views.
3) The novel explores themes of violence and the dark side of human history through the characters' actions and the Judge's disturbing worldview.

Some of Jung's concepts discussed include the ego, personal and collective unconscious, archetypes, persona, shadow, anima/animus, and the self. The goal of individuation is to achieve a balanced middle ground between opposing psychic forces.
The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum is an American fairy tale that can be interpreted on multiple levels. On the surface, it follows Dorothy and her companions as they journey along the Yellow Brick Road to meet the Wizard and find what they are each lacking. However, the story also represents a spiritual journey, with Kansas symbolizing our mundane reality and Oz symbolizing a more vibrant but still impermanent world. Ultimately, the characters learn that what they seek is within themselves. Baum intended various symbolic meanings relating to spiritual philosophies like Theosophy, such as the different directions of Dorothy's journey representing stages of life. The story's deeper message is that ultimate truth is found from within, not from external teachers

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.
High performance Serverless Java on AWS- GoTo Amsterdam 2024Vadym Kazulkin
Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint, comparing to other programming languages like Node.js and Python. In this talk I'll look at the general best practices and techniques we can use to decrease memory consumption, cold start times for Java Serverless development on AWS including GraalVM (Native Image) and AWS own offering SnapStart based on Firecracker microVM snapshot and restore and CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) runtime hooks. I'll also provide a lot of benchmarking on Lambda functions trying out various deployment package sizes, Lambda memory settings, Java compilation options and HTTP (a)synchronous clients and measure their impact on cold and warm start times.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

(devoted theologian on Hebrew study)
Saturday, 11 February 2012 3
4. Childhood
love of nature, direct relationship with plants, animals,
earth, rock, mountains, river, lake
liked playing alone
“I played alone, and in my own way... did not want to
be disturbed. I was so absorbed in my games and
could not endure being watched...” -- MDR
“I had just never run across such an asocial monster ...
he was all by himself” -- Albert Oeri, a childhood
friend of Jung
1 younger sister born when Jung was 9 years old, too late
for a companion
Saturday, 11 February 2012 4
5. Childhood
a home environment that Jung described as “unbreathable”
oppressed with a pervasive sense of death, melancholy, unease, and with
“dim intimations of trouble”
father slept with child Jung, whereas mother suffered nervous
breakdown when Jung was 3, requiring hospitalisation
suffocated in religious environment that is also prone to disappointment
while in constant resistance
“In the cemetery nearby, the sexton would dig a hole ... Black, solemn
man... would bring a black box... My father would be... in his clerical
gown... I was told that someone was being buried in this hole... but
when I heard that Lord Jesus ‘took’ other people to himself... was the
same as putting them in a hole in the ground... He lost the aspect of a
big, comforting, benevolent bird and become associated with the gloomy
black men in frock coats, top hats... who busied themselves with the
black box”
Saturday, 11 February 2012 5
6. Childhood
Jung’s earliest remembered dream:
“In the dream I was in this meadow. Suddenly I discovered a dark, rectangular,
stone-lined hole in the ground.. I ran forward curiously and peered down into it.
Then I saw a stone stairway leading down. Hesitantly and fearfully, I descended.
At the bottom was a doorway with a round arch, closed off by a green curtain. It
was a big, heavy curtain of worked stuff like brocade, and it looked very
sumptuous. Curious to see what might be hidden behind, I pushed it aside. I saw
before me in the dim light a rectangular chamber about thirty feet long. The
ceiling was arched and of hewn stone. The floor was laid with flagstones, and in
the center a red carpet ran from the entrance to a low platform. On this platform
stood a wonderfully rich golden throne. I am not certain, but perhaps a red
cushion lay on the seat. It was a magnificent throne, a real king's throne in a fairy
tale. Something was standing on it which I thought at first was a tree trunk twelve
to fifteen feet high and about one and a half to two feet thick. It was a huge thing,
reaching almost to the ceiling. But it was of a curious composition: it was made of
skin and naked flesh, and on top there was something like a rounded head with
no face and no hair. On the very top of the head was a single eye, gazing
motionlessly upward...
Saturday, 11 February 2012 6
7. Childhood
Jung’s earliest remembered dream:
(con’d)
... It was fairly light in the room,
although there were no windows
and no apparent source of light.
Above the head, however, was an
aura of brightness. The thing did
not move, yet I had the feeling that
it might at any moment crawl off
the throne like a worm and creep
toward me. I was paralyzed with
terror. At that moment I heard from
outside and above me my mother's
voice. She called out, "Yes, just look
at him. That is the man-eater!" That
intensified my terror still more, and
I awoke sweating and scared to
death.”
Saturday, 11 February 2012 7
8. Childhood
Dream interpretation?
“The phallus... a subterranean god ‘not to be named’” ... “a ritual
phallus” ... “an initiation into the secrets of the earth” ... “that
fearful tree of my childhood dream” ... “revealed as ‘the breath of
life’ the creative impulse”
in line with the powerful phallic deities of the Celtic, German,
Greek, Egyptian, Middle and Far Eastern peoples, gods that are
the embodiment of creative life-bestowing power
expecting Jesus enthroned in glory vs monstrous phallus, a
subterranean god, “therefore Jesus never became quite real for
me, never quite acceptable, never quite lovable, for again and
again I would think of his underground counterpart, a frightful
revelation which had been accorded me without seeking it”
Saturday, 11 February 2012 8
9. Student Years
enrolled as student at Basel University in 1895
natural science, then switched to medicine
why entered Psychiatry?
witnessed Seances of his cousin Helen Preiswerk: in trance state,
she lost her Basel accent and spoke in high German, and claimed
to be controlled by a variety of spirits
alerted Jung of ‘dissociated unconscious parts’?
read Krafft-Ebing’s Lehrbuch der Psychiatrie (1890) with intense
excitement, “in a flash of illumination, that for me the only
possible goal was psychiatry”
under the apprenticeship of Eugen Bleuler, outstanding psychiatrist
of the time, who replaced the term “Dementia Praecox” to
Schizophrenia
Saturday, 11 February 2012 9
10. Jung and Freud
Jung read Freud’s The Interpretation of Dreams in
1900, identifying delayed response in ‘Word
association test’ could be related to ‘repressed
wishes’ and ‘traumatic memories’
sent a copy of his book Studies in Word-Association
to Freud in 1906, and Freud encouraged Jung to
meet him in Vienna
first meeting with Freud in Mar 1907 in Vienna,
where they got on so well that they talked
without interruption for 13 hours
Saturday, 11 February 2012 10
11. Jung and Freud
Freud, for fear of death within 12 years out of superstition, was
keen to secure Jung as his successor in Psychoanalysis
however, as time goes on, Jung was unable to conceal his
difference from Freud:
that human motivation is exclusively sexual
the unconscious mind is entirely personal and peculiar to
the individual
finally withdrew from the Psychoanalytic movement in 1913
in 2-part publication of Symbols of Transformation, Jung
deliberately repudiates Freud’s theory of libido, which he
did so in fear that “would cost me my friendship with
Freud”

12. Jungian
Psychology
Saturday, 11 February 2012 12
13. Jungian Psychology
The Psyche
Archetype
Collective unconsciousness
Individuation
Saturday, 11 February 2012 13
14. The Psyche
could be a confusion in term, as both
‘psyche’ and ‘soul’ are ‘Seele’
3 levels
consciousness
directly assessable to
individual
contains his/her attitudes to
adjustment to outside world
personal consciousness
all psychic material not yet
reaching the threshold of
consciousness
collective unconsciousness
Saturday, 11 February 2012 14
15. The Psyche
The Collective Unconsciousness
deepest and most extensive stratum of the
psyche
impersonal and transpersonal foundation of
the psyche
reservoir of unconscious content that had
never reached consciousness
primordial images common to all humanity
Saturday, 11 February 2012 15
16. The Psyche
Archetypes
‘identical psychic structure common to all’
‘the archaic heritage of humanity’
a proposed fundamental concept in Psychology similar
to genetics in Biology and Quantum theory to Physics
fundamental duality of ‘spirit’ and ‘matter’, hence a
bridge from psychic entity to matter in general
mediators of Unus Mundus, organizing ideas and
images in the psyche and governs fundamental
principles of matter and energy
Saturday, 11 February 2012 16
17. The Psyche
Archetypes
Persona
a mask, how we codify ourselves to prove acceptance by
others
Shadow
side of an individual that s/he prefers not to reveal
disowned subpersonality that is ignored most of the time
gives rise to distrust, anger, fear, etc
Anima and Animus
the contrasexual feminine / masculine nature of a person
Saturday, 11 February 2012 17
18. The Psyche
Complexes
personification of archetypes
linked to each particular archetype
Ego
orbiting round the system like the earth
round the sun
the centre of consciousness, “I” or “me”
Saturday, 11 February 2012 18
19. The Psyche
Self
at the centre of the psyche, permeating entire system
with its influence
architect and builder of the dynamic structure which
supports our psychic existence through life
transcends ego, inheres the age-old capacities of species
goal: wholeness, realization of blueprint for human
existence within individual context
seeks fulfillment of spiritual achievements
manifestation of the God within?
Saturday, 11 February 2012 19
20. Individuation
the process by which the individual integrates the conscious and
unconscious parts of the personality
a living and dynamic process, spontaneous and natural within the
psyche, hence ‘destined’ to individuate
goal: realization of the Self
2 stages in life
1st half
adaptation of the psyche to the demands of the environment
separation of ego and Self
2nd half
initiation into inner reality, psychological transformation into the
quest of self-exploration
reuniting ego and Self
Saturday, 11 February 2012 20
21. Synchronicity
“a coincidence in time of two or more causally
unrelated events which have the same or
similar meaning”
‘acausal connection principle’, based on
Chinese I Ching that anything happens is
related to everything else that happens at the
same time
Saturday, 11 February 2012 21
23. Jung on Religion
Freud and Jung on Religion, by Michael Palmer
God as archetypal form
God is a manifestation of the deepest level of the unconscious mind,
the collective unconscious
a priori structural component of the psyche
a ‘psychic reality’, something intrinsic to the individual, an active
dimension within psychic life, impersonal, timeless and
autonomous
God as archetypal content
psychic experience of God e.g. demons, angels, spirits, God Himself
can only be expressed symbolically
Christ figure: overpowering, all-embracing, complete, perfect being
a man of heroic proportions
Saturday, 11 February 2012 23
24. Jung on Religion
Freud and Jung on Religion, by Michael Palmer (con’t)
nature of religious experiences
defining religion
‘peculiar attitude of the human mind’ in which ‘certain
dynamic factors’ are observed and considered ‘beautiful
and meaningful enough to be devoutly adored and loved’
does not rest upon tradition and faith but originates with
the archetypes
religious attitude is an essential component of the psyche
‘dynamic activity’, in which value attributed to the numinosum
involves a psychological condition of great ‘psychic intensity’
‘numinosum’: termed by Rudolf Otto, a dynamic agency or
effect, not caused by arbitrary act of will
Saturday, 11 February 2012 24
p. 138, Freud and Jung on Religion
25. Jung on Religion
Freud and Jung on Religion, by Michael Palmer (con’t)
God and Individuation
Individuation: God and the Self
is the process of individuation a religious process?
individuation may be defined as religious because it is an archetypal
process, any such orientation towards archetypes is religious
God = Self?
“How on earth did you get the idea that I could replace God - and
with a concept at that?... I can establish the existence of psychological
wholeness to which our consciousness is subordinate... but this ‘self’
can never take the place of God, although it may... be a receptacle for
divine grace”
“I could say that the ‘self’ is somehow equivalent to God... when (as a
psychologist) speak of ‘God’ I am speaking of a psychological image...
similarly the ‘self’ is a psychological image of human wholeness,...
something transcendental and incomprehensible”
Saturday, 11 February 2012 25
26. Jung on Religion
Freud and Jung on Religion, by Michael Palmer (con’t)
God and Individuation
Individuation and images of God
Father Stage
earlier stage of consciousness when one was still a child
produces God-images of primitive religion
“man, world and God form a whole, a unity unclouded by
ciriticism”
Son Stage
“in opposition to the still-existing earlier state... contains many latent
possibilities of dissociation... a conflict situation par excellence”
more differentiated images, e.g. Satan as regarded as shadow-side of
Yahweh, divine pairs of Adonis and Aphrodite, Yahweh’s feminine
counterpart the divine Sophia (Old Testament Book of Wisdom)
Saturday, 11 February 2012 26
27. Jung on Religion
Freud and Jung on Religion, by Michael Palmer (con’t)
God and Individuation
Individuation and images of God
Holy Ghost Stage
a stage that genuine adulthood is achieved, final phase of
individuation process (not exclusive to Christianity, but paradigm of
final stage paralleled in symbolisms of other religions and cultures
the original unity is re-established, but in higher and more elevated
condition
all images of God are psychic products of an essentially unconscious
origin, evoking inner experience
e.g. interest in spiritualism, astrology, theosophy, even UFOs...
became symbols (not substitutes) of deity
if no new symbols created, individual becomes neurotic, as he loses
psychic balance to integrate the conscious and unconscious

29. Jung and the
Christian Way
quoting Jung’s BBC interview with John Freeman in 1961, “I don’t need
to believe, I know”
“all his life was concerned with knowing God, with the immediate
intuitive awareness of God (in contrast to intellectual faith), wholly
committed to God”
“a profoundly religious man that was able to shed light on religious
psychology”
“went through an agnostic phase when he was heavily criticized by
theologians and psychologists, hence maintained agnostic attitude to
maintain scientific integrity”
“what I offer is an impressionistic sketch of those elements of his
teachings which have helped me... I cannot suppose that Jung would
have agreed with written, but I believe he would heartily approved my
attempt to follow up his ideas” -- author, Christopher Rex Bryant

30. Jung and Buddhism
Jung, Christianity, and Buddhism, James W. Heisig
theoretically, Jungian psychology enables inter-religion
dialogue
Reality: has not attracted Christians and Buddhists for some
reasons (broad academic background of Jung, study takes
time)
Jung and the Christian Way, by Christopher Rex Bryant
“William Johnston has interestingly described a dialogue
between Christians and Buddhists in Japan: ‘We found that
dialogue based on theology and philosophy did not achieve
much; but when we talked from experience we suddenly
discovered how closely united we really were.”

31. Jung and New Age
Flying Saucers : A Modern Myth of Things Seen in the Skies, by C. G. Jung, R. F. C.
Hull
concerned not on reality or not, but the psychic aspect; “about 12 years ... I
cannot even say whether they exist or not”
"In the threatening situation of the world today, when people are beginning to
see that everything is at stake, the projection-creating fantasy soars beyond the
realm of earthly organizations and powers into the heavens, into interstellar
space, where the rulers of human fate, the gods, once had their abode in the
planets.... Even people who would never have thought that a religious problem
could be a serious matter that concerned them personally are beginning to ask
themselves fundamental questions. Under these circumstances it would not be
at all surprising if those sections of the community who ask themselves
nothing were visited by ‘visions,' by a widespread myth seriously believed in
by some and rejected as absurd by others."
acknowledged UFO is not a purely psychological problem in an interview in
New York Herald Tribune in 1958
Saturday, 11 February 2012 31
32. Jung and New Age
Jung as the proponent of the concept of the Age
Aquarius
“This is the fateful year for which I have waited
more than 25 years... This year reminds me of the
enormous earthquake in 26 B.C. that shook down
the great temple of Karnak. It was the prelude to the
destruction of all temples, because a new time had
begun. 1940 is the year when we approach the
meridian of the first star inAquarius. It is the
premonitory earthquake of the New Age...” -- Jung’s
letter to Peter Bayne in 1940

Jung and the New Age : A Study in Contrasts, David Tacey
http://www.planetdeb.net/spirit/contrast.htm
33. Jung and New Age
Jung and the New Age : A Study in Contrasts, article by David Tacey
Jung's name associated with New Age for about three decades
Jung died in 1961, some years before the New Age has gained international
momentum... he has foreseen the rise of paganism in the Western psyche...
identified this resurgent paganism as the archetypal source for 21 century
fascism and national socialism
On religious matters, Jung was both Christian and New Age... Jung could
see that the one-sidedness of patriarchal religion and culture would
necessarily constellate the awakening of compensatory matriarchal and
feminine archetypal figures, but his response to these figures was
ambivalent
By contrast, Jung discovers spirituality in and through our human
pathologies, not by transcending them... “the Gods have become diseases”
Jung’s well-known preoccupation with unity, mandalas, and the Self as the
“archetype of wholeness.”

34. The Jung Cult
The Jung Cult : Origins of a Charismatic Movement, by Richard Noll
Richard Noll: clinical psychologist in DeSales University in Pennsylvania, not
orthodox Christian
Best Book in Psychology published in the United States in 1994
Jung shaped most the contemporary New Age movement
Jung was accepted by professing Christians (e.g. J. Gordon Melton, Morton Kesley, John
Sanford)
To prove his theory of a collective unconscious Jung cited the recurring independent
appearances of the same archetypes in mythological traditions and in the delusions of his
psychiatric patients
ancient mysteries and their pagan gods no longer as satanic and taboo to the average
Christian
Noll’s interpretation on MDR
a very well packaged content
falsely passed off as his autobiography
not historically reliable, but well-crafted image of a cultic leader preserved by his cult

35. The Gnostic Jung
Gnosticism (Gnostikos, Gk: knowledge): antithetical dualism of
immaterality (good) and matter (evil)
Jung considered Gnosticism and alchemy as evidence of the collective
unconscious
Gnostic creation myths described development not of the world but also
the human psyche
the androgynous godhead’s bearing of a son symbolizes the emergence
of the ego out of primordial unconscious
Jungian therapeutic aim vs Gnostic aim
Jungian: making as fully conscious possible the constellated
unconscious content, and synthesizing them with consciousness
through act of recognition
Gnostic: reversion to the incipient state of both humanity and
cosmos, not transformation

Jung’s own Gnostic myth: 7 Sermons to the Dead
“Around five o’clock in the afternoon on Sunday the
front doorbell began ringing frantically. It was a bright
summer day; the two maids were in the kitchen, from
which the open square outside the front door could be
seen. Everyone immediately looked to see who was
there, but there was no one in sight. ... Then I knew that
something had to happen. The whole house was filled as
if there were a crowd present, crammed full of spirits. ...
Then they cried out in chorus, ‘We have come back from
Jerusalem where we found not what we sought.’ That is
the beginning of the Septum Sermones.” -- MDR

37. The Gnostic Jung
Jung’s own Gnostic myth: 7 Sermons to the Dead
Jung’s confrontation with the collective unconscious
“all my works, all my creative activity, has come from those initial fantasies
and dreams which began in 1912” (1912: after break with Freud)
psychological vs parapsychological?
a continuing dialogue with ‘Philemon’ (an imaginary Alexandrian
Gnostic), most important personifications of the unconscious
the dead symbolizes Jung’s collective unconscious (ancestor’s
inadequacy of mainstream doctrine), living the ego conscious, so it is
the unconscious seeking revelation from ego consciousness
attributed to Basilides (2nd century Alenxandrian Gnostic), channeling
Basilides or used the channeled Basilides to address to the dead
contrary to popular opinion, the dead are not ‘possessors of great
knowledge’

39. BBC Interview
“When I say that I don’t need to believe in God because I ‘know’,
I mean I know the existence of God-images in general and in
particular. I know it is matter of a universal experience and, in so
far as I am no exception, I know I have such experience also,
which I call God. It is the experience of my will over against
another and very often stronger will, crossing my path often
with seemingly disastrous results, putting strange ideas into my
head and maneuvering my fate sometimes into most
undesirable corners or giving it unexpected favorable twists,
outside my knowledge and my intention. The strange force
against or for my conscious tendencies is well known to me. So I
say, ‘I know him’. But why should you call this something
‘God’? I would ask, ‘Why not’? It has always been called God.”

456 instances of ‘God’ in MDR
“Slowly I came to understand that this communion had been a fatal experience for me. It had
proved hollow; more than that, it had proved to be a total loss. I knew that I would never
again be able to participate in this ceremony. ‘Why, that is not religion at all’, I thought. ‘It is
an absence of God; the Church is a place I should not go to. It is not life which is there, but
death.’
I was seized with the most vehement pity for my father. All at once I understood the tragedy
of his profession and his life. He was struggling with a death whose existence he could not
admit.”
“My sense of union with the Church and with the human world, so far as I knew it, was
shattered.”
“I began to ponder, what must one think of God? I had not invented that thought about God
and the cathedral, still less the dream that had befallen me at the age of three. A stronger will
than mine had imposed both on me. Had nature been responsible? But nature was nothing
other than the will of the creator. Nor did it help to accuse the devil, for he too was a creature
of God. God alone was real - an annihilating fire and an indescribable grace.”
“I had prepared it [the communion] in all earnestness, had hoped for an experience of
grace and illumination, and nothing had happened.”

“How had I arrived at m certainty about God? I was told all sorts of
things about Him, yet I could believe nothing. None of it convinced me.
That was not where my idea came from... For example, all that about
Lord Jesus was always suspect to me and I never really believed it,
although it was impressed upon me far more than God, who was
usually only hinted at in the background.
Suddenly I understood that God was, for me at least, one of the most
certain and immediate experiences, it was forced on me and I was
compelled... I had no control over these things”
“Once I heard him [Jung’s father] praying. He struggled desperately to
keep his faith... I saw how hopeless he was entrapped by the Church and
its theological teaching... Now I understood the deepest meaning of my
earlier experiences: God disavowed theology and the Church founded
upon it. On the other hand God condoned this theology, as he condoned
so much else.”

“At home, I had the welcome opportunity to talk with
a theologian who had been my father’s vicar... The
theological students with whom I had discussions in
the fraternity all seemed quite content with the theory
of the historical effect produced by Christ’s life... To me
this absolutely belied Christ’s own view that the Holy
Ghost, who had begotten him, would take his place
among men after his death. For me the Holy Ghost was
a manifestation of the inconceivable God... Lord Jesus
was to me unquestionably a man and therefore a
fallable figure, or else a mouthpiece of the Holy Ghost.”

“The intensity of my emotion showed that the hill of Sanchi meant something
central to me. A new side of Buddhism was revealed to me there... Buddha
saw and grasped the cosmogonic dignity of human consciousness...
Christ, like Buddha, is an embodiment of the self, but in an altogether
different sense. Both stood for an overcoming of the world: Buddha out of
rational insight; Christ as a foredoomed sacrifice. In Christianity, more is
suffered, in Buddhism, more is seen and done. Both paths are right, but in the
Indian sense Buddha is the more complete human being. He is a historical
personality, and therefore easier for men to understand. Christ is at once a
historical man and God, and therefore much more difficult to comprehend.
At bottom he was not comprehensible even to himself; he knew only that he
had to sacrifice himself, that this course was imposed upon him from within.
His sacrifice happened to him like an act of destiny. Buddha lived out his life
and died at an advanced age, whereas Christ's activity as Christ probably
lasted no more than a year.”

“We know that something unknown, alien, does come our way, just as we
know that we do not ourselves make a dream or an inspiration, but that it
somehow arises of its own accord. What does happen to us in this manner
can be said to emanate from mana, a daimon, a god, or the unconscious. The
first three terms have the great merit of including and evoking the emotional
quality of numinosity, whereas the latter - the unconscious - is banal and
therefore closer to reality... The unconscious is too neutral and rational a term
to give much impetus to the imagination. The term, after all, was coined for
scientific purposes, and is far better suited to dispassionate observation
which makes no metaphysical claims than are the transcendental concepts,
which are controversial and therefore tend to breed fanaticism.
Hence I prefer the term ‘the unconscious’, knowing that I might equally well
speak of ‘God’ or daimon if I wish to express myself in mythical language. I
am aware that ‘mana’, ‘daimon’, and ‘God’ are synonyms for the
unconscious”

“The need for mythical statements is satisfied when we frame
a view of the world which adequately explains the meaning of
human existence in the cosmos, a view which springs from our
psychic wholeness, from the co-operation between conscious
and unconscious. Meaninglessness inhibits fullness of life and
is therefore equivalent to illness. Meaning makes a great many
things endurable - perhaps everything. No science will ever
replace myth, and a myth cannot be made out of any science.
For it is not that ‘God’ is a myth, but that myth is the revelation
of a divine life in man. It is not we who invent myth, rather it
speaks to us as a Word of God. The Word of God comes to us,
and we have no way of distinguishing whether and to what
extent it is different from God.”
