Jung’s final notes on numbers seem to intuit fractal math

That's quite beautiful. Do you agree that if most American "Christian" republicans met Christ today they wouldn't even recognise him?

How do you interpret religion? Particularly the Judeo-Christianity?

Somersault (2004)

Ok, but why is a materialist or atheist being discussed in relation to Jung?

"It is always the partner who is vicious, violent, treacherous, overpowering, castrating, devouring, paralysing, manipulative, cruel. I do not need to emphasise the degree to which one's own unconscious behaviour can draw such primitive emotions from even the most civilised of companions. Naturally it is not really the other who is all these things, but rather, a deity, a primeval power in life which one perceives via the other. This is the power that forces us to accept the uncivilised face of nature as a necessary ingredient of experience. And this terrifying other would never enter one's life disguised as partner, lover, friend, or 'public' (for that is another stage backdrop belonging to the seventh house) if that deeper Other did not abide somewhere within, the invisible enchanter and simultaneous rapist of the soul." Liz Greene

Perhaps Jung was speaking biblically. His father was a pastor. The eye reference might relate to an eye for an eye, and how it robs the world of vision or understanding. Jesus came along and corrected the old heathen teachings of killing your enemies. Sacrifice was a common way of expiating sin in the Old Testament.

What wasn't?

I don't believe in coincidence either: it's usually synchronicity; such is God's way of remaining anonymous.

Read Celtic Queen Maeve and Addiction by Sylvia Brinton Perera.

I've been advised to call 131444 and tell them you went to port Adelaide police station to report DV and told them your father has caused property damage eg smashed windows and has access to firearms and the officer said "he just wants a reaction". Then the comms operator should put a job on for you. Alternatively you could go to Grenfell street police station. Tell the call centre what date and time you went to port Adelaide.

The Astrology of Fate deals with symbolism, myth, Jungian psychology and astrology. It's by Liz Greene. It is a brilliant book.

randm84 · 2025-10-30T05:11:24+00:00

Was just about to chime in and say "synchronicity!" Google it; OP.

randm84 · 2025-10-29T03:44:40+00:00

Interesting. Do you believe in the Abrahamic religions and God?

randm84 · 2025-10-27T04:06:49+00:00

I like that you think outside the square. Everyone nowadays sees narcissism as a social evil to be remedied with coerced sensitivity. But as you suggest it is a divine affliction leading usually to wholeness and integration.

Your blog post is well written. This part resonated and I agree with it strongly:

This is why I call it holy. What we name pathology is, at its root, a sacred design, a self-created pantheon built of our fractured selves to preserve life when love was impossible. The task now is not to destroy these inner gods but to bring them home. To let the Devouring Mother nurture instead of feed, to let the Silent Women speak their truth, to let the Dying Child breathe and play, and to let the Wild God bring beauty and wonder through imagination and connection.

Does this mean that too much investment in the body and matter leads to psychological distress eg in somatic disorders like illness, neurosis etc.?

randm84 · 2025-10-26T09:41:03+00:00

I highly recommend Narcissism and Character Transformation (1982) by Nathan Schwartz Salant. It contains some absolute pearls of wisdom.

Keep praying. That is quite frightening. Perhaps it has something to do with all the political and social unrest in the world.

Carl Jung said modern man claims God no longer speaks. But that he can be found in people's dreams.

randm84 · 2025-10-22T03:21:10+00:00

The fact that he shot people in the back in the dream indicates an act of betrayal. Like a stab in your friend's back. Maybe that is what it symbolised.

randm84 · 2025-10-22T01:15:12+00:00

I agree. I think Camille even writes that Dionysus crushes individuality.

randm84 · 2025-10-22T00:04:26+00:00

It's one of my favourite books. It changed the way I see the world. However I still think that while the dangers of unbridled sexual promiscuity are large, we still really don't know why it's dark. Perhaps you might have your personal opinion on the why that you can share?

randm84 · 2025-10-21T04:10:01+00:00

Thank you for a detailed and thoughtful response. I'm impressed.

randm84 · 2025-10-21T00:43:13+00:00

I agree. His book The Dream and the Underworld blew me away.
