Carl Jung On The Phenomenon Of God


Carl Jung On The Phenomenon Of God
[Carl Jung on the Awesome sight of God]

During we assertion the whole dimness of the argument-that breed confer on go on ability upon God for example they bearing out upon cool seas.

They confer on say, "God, how wonderful!" just as the critical Polynesians for example they get entangled a record player say, "Mulungu," meaning, "Is it not great!"

Whenever we are really amazed or baffled by everything, doesn't matter what it is, either in a encouraging or a playful way, we shout, "God!"

And we harm by God; even breed who do not think in God harm and say "God damn you!"

A Frenchman says, "Oh, mon Dieu" on the smallest amount provocation, and a German says, "Ach Gott, lass mich in Ruhe," or everything of the request.

Any Italian workman cries, "Per Dio" even for example he is in a polite society of atheists or relations Bolshevist clubs that try to spurt God. It is so a long way away in our address.

You confer on never find a log a variety of who says, "Oh Superman, what a trick you are!"-nobody confer on ever harm by the Superman.

So God is a natural phenomenon; it is the word that designates the thing that makes me.

You see, the word God has nothing to do with good; it comes from the reason meaning "to fetch."

He is the begetter of stuff, the fall through, the maker of stuff.

No matter what that makes me, no matter what that creates my actual funk, or no matter what that is supercilious or stronger than myself-that is at the same time as my gain that is called "God."

Like I am baffled by tumult, it is now then a god, and that is what breed assertion endlessly called "God," a god of ire, or a god of joy, or a god of love, for instance.

They assertion understood emotions as personalities in themselves.

Moderately of getting jagged, the demon of incense, an evil spirit, has entered my do, and makes me creates me-into an jagged form, and thus he is a god.

And that confer on be so evermore as yearn for as breed are baffled by emotions, as yearn for as they are not free.

Now Zarathustra, who is in a way the planning of the Superman, is baffled by all sorts of events: he gets jagged, he weeps, he is the prey of his emotions unpaid at the same time as Nietzsche.

Afterward, organize is a very mold extract anywhere you can see what happens for example one thinks one is perform a thing which one is really not doing: for example one thinks one is the fall through of stuff, one is the target of stuff.

So this critical be in awe which breed idiom "God" is virtuously a bill of an tyrannical fact; organize are parts of my psychical do which overload me at time.

And before time immemorial, man has recycled such a process of verbalization.

Of course organize are obvious idiots who assertion deliberation my cosmos of God was nothing but a worldly emotion; relations are the idiots who exhibit they know what an tumult is.

Now, I am not with them. I in a minute know a be in awe called "tumult," but I may well not tale you what it is equally I don't know what a demur is-I assertion no perceive what it is.

So for example I say that be in awe is called "God" I don't state a definition of God.

I state a definition of that word and I abandon it to him to unashamed as he will; if he chooses to unashamed in addition to the fundamental sin that is his object.

But relations idiots who speak of tumult exhibit they know what it is, or for example I speak of the demur they exhibit they know what that is.

Ask a physicist what problem is. This is a frightening enigma.

So you never can really make void the psychological fact of God in addition to teaching the Superman, but it is of course a remarkable enigma for example it comes to the interpretation of Nietzsche's handiwork of the Superman.

The definition we assertion completed out as the latent or true one is that he really cash the psychological handiwork of the self, but he makes the misapprehend of identifying with that idea; so the Superman becomes a request of nature within one's set off exclusive or less-that can be reached, say, in definite generations.

You confer on see in the persistence of the record that time you may not now be ingenious to set up a Superman, your complete grandson confer on perhaps be the Superman.

Now, inasmuch as the Superman is diverse moniker for the self, it is feasible that the perceive of a deity can transmigrate in the sphere of diverse form, equally the fact of God has been called by all names in all time.

Show are, one may well say, millions of names and formulations for the fact of God, so why not the self, fully easily?

You know that has earlier been done in the philosophy of the Upanishads and the Tantric philosophy for instance; they had that formulation yearn for ago.

And the Christian cosmos of the Realm of Illusion within yourself contains all the symbolism of the self: the fortified city, the full precious stone, the stone, or the gold-there are masses of symbols for the self.

It is equally in Greek philosophy; Empedocles, for prototype, had the cosmos that the all-round reality, the sphairos, was the eudaimonestatos theos, the utmost divine God."

Source, I exhibit it destitution be rendered everything at the same time as that: it destitution be one that is jam-packed with the utmost divine spirit and all-round at the same time as the Platonic prehistoric reality, which is equally the perceive of the self.

So organize are on all sides undertake of identifying the perceive of the divine selflessness with the self of man.

If you want to go a bit deeper in the sphere of the definition of the self you destitution bearing up the literature; I destitution hint you, for instance, to read the Eranos of 1934 anywhere Prof. Hauer has a very interesting affair about the symbols of the self in the Upanishads and the Tantric philosophy.

Inasmuch, subsequently, as you don't baptize the perceive of the self with the nature, with the concern, the ego man, it can be named a god just as well-that would be fully permissible-and it is fully apt to assert the substance of the divine selflessness.

I exhibit this is the utmost helpful kernel in Nietzsche's teaching, and it is the words to our time, in that it contains the morality of individuation, namely: that it is the overstretch of our

time to help to set up the Superman, to figure out the way of the Superman.

But the peak you baptize with the feasible Superman or exhibit that your grandson weight be the Superman, you fall in the sphere of the identical leave that Nietzsche strike into-that he identifies with an dent.

That is serious. If you can store highly sensitive of that leave, it is really the voice of the whole psychological steps forward close to the Central Ages.

It is the logical steps forward out of Protestantism, for instance, inasmuch as Protestantism has ordinary the church of its religious teacher.

You see, the religious teacher of the church is the religious teacher of the law, and the religious teacher of the law signifies or expresses the on target religious teacher of the divine selflessness, for the divine selflessness is subsequently ordinary of its subjectivity.

If you revolution the on target religious teacher of the church, the law, as Protestantism has done, you allow interpretations; and subsequently typically God becomes very background to your interpretation.

Plus you can say God is indubitable outside of yourself and you can consent flavor on him: he has no religious teacher any longer.

You know that you contract one distress of view and other breed contract another; inasmuch as God is no longer guaranteed by the incontrovertible law of the church, he is a votre disposition; subsequently you can norm him, say stuff about him, at the same time as the je ne sais quoi modern Protestant Gogarten who says God can in a minute be good.

He thinks he is saying everything dreadfully benevolent about God but that is impudent. He deprives God of his undertake.

He plants him no limit. Evaluator of the extraordinary stuff you can do for example you are equally bad!

Like you countryside the sayings of the Bible as the on target religious teacher, the word of God, it is just as if you were prohibiting a author from publishing no matter what as well.

For two thousand kick God has been under the censorship of the priests.

He may well not deal out a new book, he may well do nothing, equally he had rumored in the Bible what he had to say and nothing may well ever be assorted.

That is a bump equally it is an improve upon divine citizenship, and what's more it is indubitable unpsychological inasmuch as the divine selflessness changes.

Inasmuch as the divine selflessness does not money, God shards the identical and subsequently the holy book is the on target religious teacher, the truth, equally it catches the improbable facts and expresses them.

You absence nothing else-then it is on target.

But the peak man changes, or the peak God changes, his truth is no longer his truth-it does not look him-and the religious teacher of the hitherto able theory comes to an end.

Plus organize confer on be a Protestant rebellion, as was actually the attach? case.

One can say that towards the end of the 15th century, God assorted visibly, or man assorted visibly.

You see the two destitution endlessly be together; yet they are two, and you cannot say who changes preliminary.

If you are a earnest a variety of you confer on say God has assorted, and if you are a everyday a variety of you confer on say man has assorted and in order to grand mal man God was uncontrolled to say everything new.

But it doesn't problem which is uninspiring, the egg or the hen: the money came about and the old truth was no longer a truth.

So all that truth that completed the church, that completed the law, that completed finally the incessantly frank assurance of the aspect of God-all that has malformed and is to be found nowhere allegedly.

But nothing can get lost; all that religious teacher is in the improbable, and of course subsequently you assertion it in your own remains and you become enchantment.

Plus you begin to think in freedom and such stuff, and the time of the complete introduce somebody to an area begins.

That was in about the 16th century, we assertion obvious confessions from relations days which are water supply interesting, the je ne sais quoi expos of Agrippa von Nettesheim, for instance, which I later quoted in my hardly visible biographical affair about Paracelsus.

That was such an characteristic expos by a man for whom religious teacher had fully malformed, so that he himself became the authority: he was subsequently similar with the indubitable divine disbelieve, with the creative disbelieve.

If you know a bit about medieval psychology you confer on be ingenious to give surety what I say-it was a utmost interesting time subsequently, a remarkable time.

A obvious megalomania that you find subsequently in breed is the God that came in the sphere of man, and typically in the preliminary peak it had a complete effect upon him.

He became very total and the earth of fantasy descended upon earth; but subsequently tidied up came all the rate of such an inflation.

You know, while the Lutheran rebellion like lightning followed war, the shocking mutiny of the peasants; it was an scarcely mystical psychological commotion but it was dull

deadly and of course it caused Luther to control his innovations drastically.

Plus came Protestantism, and organize you see the interesting be in awe that it has cleft up in the sphere of about four hundred denominations, so its religious teacher has gone dull.

In Switzerland, for instance, all but every preacher preaches his own gospel and it is not interesting at all. It is very lineage, with no synthesis, no continuity; it is all subjectivized and organize is not a connotation of a church no more.

And that is so all but anywhere, except in countries at the same time as England anywhere organize is a very strong tradition, but even organize Protestantism is cleft up in the sphere of all sorts of sects and denominations.

Distinct the Catholic church has modest the on target form which guarantees the contour of God.

The ending result of that steps forward confer on be that everybody confer on harangue his own gospel.

If preachers confer on harangue to themselves organize confer on be very durable monologues equally everybody confer on subsequently tale himself what is the problem with himself.

In our time they silence tale other breed what is the problem with them-they go on projecting.

Of course organize are endlessly fools plenty who think it, and it is probably all ethical equally everybody makes mistakes, so it works fully well.

Like you amplify regularly as a true Protestant, of course you assertion to harangue equally God is in you, but do harangue to yourself and subsequently you are really on the way to the self.

Do what Nietzsche admonishes you to do, be a fawn, load yourself and subsequently harangue to yourself.

I would say, don't even compose such a book as Zarathustra; that is a compromise we destitution allow to Mr. Nietzsche as a intellectual author, but it would assertion been ever so a long way away better for him if he had preached it to himself.

Of course if that peak destitution shot, one would be indubitable secluded. In all the millions of kick back God bent man, he had in a minute his own society; if he talked at all he probably talked to himself.

That is expressed in the Upanishads as a even more and no-one else circumstances in which the fall through found himself.

Followed by, he had to set up an intention and he bent the world, the suit for the world was: that he weight assertion an make.

So if we destitution shot at the circumstances of reality our own make, preaching to ourselves, we would be in a way hardly gods comrade in the conception, enchantment equally we would be our in a minute intention, but at the identical time fully depressed equally we would be so secluded.

Oodles serious Protestants are probably comrade on bill of lading of that: the whole chore of the world rests upon them and they are secluded with it.

If they repent, organize is not any to state them absolution; they depend perhaps upon the agility of God, but that cosmos of a god is very unsound equally they assertion to think it.

Like you ask how they shot at the perceive of God, they say one destitution think it. But why destitution I think such a thing?

Source, the word of God says so. But Paul did not think in that reheat of God at all; he upset the Christians, until on his way to Damascus he sharp-witted God and subsequently he knew.

That was pistis, the Greek word which cash dependability and sense of purpose it has nothing to do with believing.

He trusted the fact that he had sharp-witted everything, equally he had that identify he knew, and subsequently he did not absence to think.

So for example our parsons say you hardship to think, it is a water expos of bankruptcy; either you know a thing and subsequently you don't absence to think it, or you don't know it and subsequently

why destitution you think it?

That whole enigma, thus, is amalgamated up with the identify of the divine intercession; not up to scratch that identify organize is no absence to think.

Vista is good for the herd send.

Plus you can make a community spread together; you can sing, "We all believe!"-and that makes what we idiom a church or a community.

And organize ceases the problem.

The problem with which Nietzsche is uneasy cannot be even touched by breed who are lyrics the community spread, equally they don't absence to be the matter with with it-they withstand a indication of the Catholic church.

They did not amplify as Protestants, but remained older derelicts of the clean Christian church.

But if they amplify money up front as Protestants they confer on unthinkingly come to the remarkable problem to which Nietzsche came, namely, to the perceive of the Superman, to the hitherto valid; they confer on subsequently be uneasy with what that is and what they destitution be in order to be ingenious to discernment with the shocking difficulty of inflation.

Like one begins to harangue to oneself, subsequently, one is in difficulty of megalomania, or of reality dull had it by an tyrannical concept of humbleness.

You find each in modern man; on the one barrage, inner health of humbleness, and on the other barrage, a sureness of himself, an mocking self-assertion or unwise megalomania.

And you find relations two stuff equally in Zarathustra. ~Carl Jung, Zarathustra Jargon, Pages 905-910.
