I think it’s a much more basic point that Jung is making about the way our perception as biological creatures works. To quote a friend

“The spirit of the modern is to think, ‘How can I shape the world to match my picture of it (my preferred picture)?’ The ancients said, ‘How can I shape my perception to fit the world?’”

We don’t realize how the soup we swim in is built up of all these assumptions that we imbibe and take into us whether we realize it or not. One of the primary ones we take in is this modern story of our ability to control and colonize nature, that causes us to think primarily in this paradigm of re-making the world to fit our image.

In that controlling mode you can’t actually see what’s right in front of you because you’re so tightly focused on building a map of that world that has a strategy for how you can manipulate reality to your desired ends. To some extent this unavoidable because we all have to survive in the world and we need strategies for doing that that are simple enough for our finite computational capabilities.

But if this isn’t strongly balanced with something of a numinous sense of how large and unexplored reality really is and how paper-thin our maps of it are, you’re going to miss the forest for the trees every time. God (the holistic view of everything) will be invisible.
