    Our duality and God's in Genesis can become whole or a non-duality, as seen in Christ's crucifixion and Buddha under the Bodhi Tree. Both made clear how we might by treating others as we'd want to be treated. As Joseph Campbell reminded us: The Golden Rule has always been The Golden Path thru life to God and Heaven. We only need amend when we fail as Jesus said. But the foremost symbol of wholeness or holiness is the Star of David, which Joseph Campbell wrote and also talked about. In Kabbalah, the Star of David represents our duality and God's, as well as our opposition to one another at peace. As seen, the triangle pointing upward is joined with the triangle pointing downward. This is symbolic of the Above and Below. Such moments are glimpses of the goal to help us persevere as Jung surmised. Jesus was forsaken but kept His faith. God's Will be done, not ours.

    Love this man for sharing his great Knowledge . There is just something hilarious to me , about a Brooklyn accent talking "spirituality". I had an old neighbor from New Jersey who would expound upon his great knowledge and it was like a scene from 'Sanford and Son' , or Ralph Kramden and Norton , Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble . Sometimes it feels as if we all fall short of delivering that 'Sermon on the Mound' , without a sense of humor .

    But out of the Pantheon, only Yahweh became one with creation, that Joseph Campbell omitted in his epic The Hero With A Thousand Faces. Who can love and worship a God who subjects us to evil but doesn't help us or suffer it Himself? This is the crux of Jung's Answer To Job.

    I like the idea that there is even non-duality between non-duality and duality. I can be my messy, sinful human self and because of me being that way God can, by contrast, be His pure, holy and divine self. Because there is no distinction between those two "polarities," it's all me.

    Can anyone explain his meaning of 'vegetative traditions' at 2:24? Earlier he says 'vegetal images' which I'm assuming mean something more like religious images containing lots of vegetation (nature), but what does he mean by 'vegetative traditions?' I'm trying to search for any other meaning of 'vegetative' or 'vegetive' and I can't find any other than that relating to plants and organic matter.

    He committed suicide as too many intellectuals have, sadly, The difference is realizing how our psyche is trying to help us know the spirit elements in us, as seen in our dreams. Joseph Campbell was more aligned with Jung and his book, Symbols of Transformation, which caused the split with Freud. Why couldn't Freud see there is light in our darkness and Symbols of Transformation as Jung had and later Joseph Campbell? Many cannot, because their theories and beliefs predominate. Especially when they impose upon others. Jung was censored. Neitzsche's fatal mistake was taking Zarathustra's brilliance for his own. Blaming the Muse and Dionysus for our dissolution made it worse.

    He's talking about ego death in which the self-other barrier is dissolved. The sense of unity and oneness with everything is the primary element of mystical gnosis. But, he's creativity inventing means to make all mythology say the same thing, which it doesn't. Still, it's his right to do so. Meh.

    Our duality and God's, as well as our opposition to one another is not dissolved. The name Israel means "one who wrestles with God." Jesus was forsaken and simply asked why when He was crucified. Jesus prayed for deliverance to His dying day with the prayer He gave us that we'd do the same. As Jung observed and many of us have experienced, symbols of wholeness are glimpses of the goal to help us persevere.
