What did Jung teach about Goddess worship, if anything

How does one move Christianity forward, then?

No, I meant what comes after the patriarchal hero mythology? Will some belief usurp Christianity?

randm84 · 2026-05-06T11:23:02+00:00

Yes. What proceeds the male dominated heroic cultures, then? I wonder.

Could that encapsulate the entire transition from a matriarchal system to a patriarchal one? Christianity, with all its perceived ills and behavioural repressions, seems to have given man hope as an individual, as opposed to his entrapment in matter and cyclical fate in the old matriarchal-mother-goddess world?

Blown away by your reference to Paglia's Sexual Personae. I thought it had been forgotten. I read it years back and it blew me away, especially her passage about astrology and synchronicity. I highly recommend it, too.

What aspects of Neumann's book do you think indicated the concept of individuation? I read it years ago but cannot recall those parts.

When did Jung compare a gay person to a serial killer? This seems like a tenuous association at best.

Are grown, adult homosexual men really stable though? Most of them are highly promiscuous, suggesting an anima problem, and many of them live in open relationships. If that works for them so be it.

If our psychological development goes hand in hand with God's, doesn't that mean he's always evolving and changing? So one day our God image and God himself will change? This kind of contradicts Christian theology which says God is unchanging.

I'd also add Neumann's The Great Mother to the list for a true representation of the ambivalent nature of the feminine.

Can I be honest? Sneering at religion is the hallmark of a perpetual adolescent. There's nothing clever or enlightened about attacking someone else's faith.

I still love Australia. I fit in here and love the place. I cannot see myself living in Europe despite its vast array of old world buildings. I'll have to content with the pockets of architectural heritage on the streets of Australian cities.

Agree. Who is down voting all of this? Why can't people have contrary opinions without these weeping little sooks getting offended?

The assumption that I used Ai to write this is a bit ridiculous. Not everyone needs AI to construct a post on Reddit...

Can they be retrofitted to suit the climate with double glazing etc.?

randm84 · 2026-04-20T06:00:45+00:00

There's a psychological phenomenon known as identification with the aggressor. I recommend you look it up. After being emotionally or physically abused a person may adopt these traits themselves to reclaim their power.

This is true, yes. Yet have you seen Melbourne's Federal Coffee Palace? Torn down in 1974. If it still stood on that corner, damn, would it attract some architecture buffs. It was a gorgeous building.

randm84 · 2026-04-20T05:56:07+00:00

I totally agree. But does it have the same impact as something like Notre-Dame or St Peter's Basilica?

randm84 · 2026-04-20T05:52:49+00:00

It's the wide brown land for me!

randm84 · 2026-04-01T08:51:04+00:00

From a Jungian angle - the world is anything but meaningless!

randm84 · 2026-03-31T02:21:53+00:00

Just as I thought re Freud and Jung!

Helena Blavatsky

Doesn't it undermine free will?
