On Attempting to Be Theoretically and Practically “Free”! (17.11.2023)

This situation reminds me of Carl Jung, an ethnic German born in Switzerland, who in 1956 published a ridiculous little book purportedly about ‘UFOs’ – but which contained a section openly attacking the USSR (parroting US Cold War Propaganda) just 11-years after Jung’s ethnicity had perpetuated one of the worst crimes in human history – killing and maiming 41-million in the USSR! Jung NEVER addressed the inhumanity of his fellow Germans but felt able to lend his academic weight to the ongoing demonisation of the victims of German immorality. From that day onwards, Jungian thinking and theory become just another path leading to an illusionary freedom – with those who describe themselves as ‘Jungians’ simply making the same interpretive mistakes as their progenitor.

How Carl Jung Betrayed Evolutionary Science! (17.2.2023) 

If the bizarre work of Carl Jung produced in 1956 is compared with the work he produced in the early 1900s – it seems to be written by somebody else – so different is its poor intellectual style and illogical state of its construction. Around the same time (and perhaps for the same reasons), the British Philosopher – Bertrand Russell – was interviewed in the UK and also chose to ignore the immense suffering of the Soviet people (and their 41 million casualties), stating instead that Marxist-Leninism is a ‘violent’ ideology! Like Jung, Russell was presented as a Western ‘intellectual’, and yet like Jung – ended-up talking utter illogical bilge when the time come to tell the truth and expose Bourgeois lies! He attempted (like Jung) to ‘punish’ the Soviet people for daring to ‘defend’ themselves! This is tantamount in its lack of logic to accusing a woman of committing acts of ‘violence’ – because in her desperation she managed to fight off a potential rapist! Of course, many men of Jung’s German ethnicity did ‘rape’ not just women – but men and children as well during the Nazi German orgy that unfolded in the USSR! How dare an ethnic German like Carl Jung deliberately side with the stupidity of US anti-intellectualism and the viciousness of predatory capitalism! Fascism, of course (and I am sure Jung knew this) is capitalism in decline!

Carl Jung & Buddhism

Jung was not religious in the conventional sense, as through the use of psychological insight, he saw through religious structure and understood its historicity. He might be described as spiritual due to the obvious spiritual content of much of his work, but even this appellation is problematic. In reality Jung viewed religion as being a subject of much psychological interest due primarily to its obvious archetypal content. Through his developed psychological method, Jung demonstrated an often profound and startling insight into the inner structures of subjects like religion that at once swept away any unnecessary obscuration or excessive mystification, to reveal the true developmental nature of the teachings.
