At time stamp 19:15 you avoid the concept of Yahweh committing sin. This is rooted in the Christian misunderstanding of the word sin because of the doctrine of original sin. The word sin is an archery term. To sin is to miss the mark. An archer can miss hitting the bulls eye 999 times, and that does not detract from hitting the bull's eye perfectly on the thousandth cast. In Job, Yahweh misses the mark, just as your example with your children. This actually makes the possibility of Christ's birth, death and resurrection resulting in a change in the fundamental way Yahweh / Jehovah relates to humanity a great possibility. Living the life of Christ perhaps allows Yahweh to live a life that morality is integrated into while still being fire and direct action (money changers in the temple) Michael on a white horse with a sword in its mouth at the end of days. Not a change but a maturing reflected in humanity itself.

I was astonished when I read recently that the word ‘sin’ isn’t in the Bible. I studied Bible Greek (koine) in my youth and was impressed that all the words translated as ‘sin’ were explanations, of what sin is. Suddenly, I saw it in reverse. The archery word you refer to (hamartia) is only one. ‘Amplus’ is another and means not simple but wadded up like a piece of cloth. Another means adulterated or no longer pure as milk might be. Thus, the words become a guide to a holy life rather than a condemnation. In the same vein, the Heston-thundering “thou shalt” and “thou shalt not” are simple future tense-“you will” or “you will not”, more like a caressing promise that you can conquer the impulses that deter you from a holy path. (Excuse any Greek mis-transliterations. It’s been a while. I’m now closer to dotage than youth.)

The video is 100% right to point out that no Christian preacher is ever honest about the obvious morality of the creator in the story of Job. Any honest and compassionate person has to accept that Job was treated with terrible injustice inflicted by a supposedly all powerful, all knowing and beneficent creator being. I have always been deeply troubled by this and have found that the only “Christian” theologians to address this glaring contradiction are the Gnostics. Jung didn’t flaunt his Gnostic inclinations publicly because they are an affront to prevailing religious mores. Jung wore ancient Gnostic gems and also had a famous ancient heretical scripture named in his honour. The Jung Codex was dedicated to him.

The most profound sentence spoken about God/Yahweh, in my opinion, is one I heard in a play, depicting Jewish prisoners in a German concentration camp discussing how their God could allow them to suffer such horror. One of the characters says ' God was never good....he was just on our side.'

Very glad to find this channel. As someone who born in china and moved with young ages to a western country, I learned to adapt and believed that the western dualistic way of thinking was superior. I was baptized in the chirch, after noticed the power structure within the protestant community, I came in contact with the heavily flawed postmodernism as a student. I noticed that a lot of the modern divisions are rooted in the dualism view of the Christianity and its extrem counter-movements. Where the essence of the believe can judge and questioning everything but its own core(ego). And now I'm slowly find my root back in Taoism, which Jung also mentioned alot in his books. I discovered there is a lot of parallels with other indigenous spiritual practices, like the holistic contemplation, that the nurture should serve and learn from the nature. I do think a holistic approach is the way out of the suffering created by separation of the two brains. Yet we human like simple stories to learn new things, and those stories always have a good and a bad guy😂

The first direct contact I had with Jung's work was Answer to Job some 25 years ago, having left the church a few years earlier in search of more complete answers to my questions about life. My immediate response was that the book was both blasphemous and correct. It thrilled me and frightened me simultaneously. I loved it and have never looked back. This video is an excellent discussion of the work.

When Jung discovered the Gnostics he went and purchased what became known as the Jung Codex and this is what he said about them: “I have worked all my life to know the psyche - and these people knew already.” Carl Gustav Jung to Giles Quispel after reading The Gospel of Truth which both men agreed was the most beautiful and most important document in the Jung Codex.

@deirdremorris9234 Listening even to oneself reading aloud is radically different than reading. It’s easier to listen if someone else is doing the reading AND it’s also easier to remain concentrated on and receptive to what is being read during reading aloud oneself. The root difference in listening I think has to do with how much older in evolutionary terms the brain/mind functions for spoken language are than the written word which requires a kind of “add on” functioning of analytical mind. In my experience the difference is that the spoken word carries more influence into embodiment and feeling, and this translates more easily into effecting change and action. Consider the power of storytelling while even if read silently as a story its characters, events evoke our own participation, reflection and meaning making/narrative generation. Listening even to something that’s not “a story” I feel brings more of this sort of engagement with the communication. So, I find it best for hearing say scripture, dharma… True Inspiration

truly Wonderfull conversation and video.

I can't help but think that Jung was influenced here by gnostic writings that he was a big fan of. Gnostics were Christians who adopted parts of Middle Platonism and saw God/Yaweh as the same as Plato's demiurge. But they held to a bastardization of Plato''s demiurge, and saw the creator God as a flawed and lesser god, accounting for the evil that inhabits all of physical creation. This view of Plato's God and its creation was much darker than the one that prevailed over the 800 years that Platonism was dominant in the classical world. Later late Platonism, also called Neo-Platonism, had an extremely positive view of the One, the divine first principle, also called "the Good." But then, Jung is writing an allegory, with Yahweh representing the collective unconscious, nature's mind, signifying the process that we - as both part of nature and part of God, part ego and part higher Self - often go through.

The video which includes a section on the effect of Middle Platonism on the Gnostics would be "Neo-Platonism and Christianity."

There were several so-called Gnostic version many not unfaithful to Platonist ideas. Marcion for example completely accepted the supreme creator „the monad“ but not Yaweh which he called the demiurge. The Platonists claimed that the supreme creator God was the Monad, which is derived from Pythagoreanism, which created the Forms, while a subordinate divine entity, the Demiurge, shaped the material world. And Plato believed the material world that which appears to our senses was a world of shadow and deception. The official heresy of the Marcionites was that they were accused of „following Empedocles“, who was considered a God-man by Greeks, especially because of their rejection of all of Judaism. Gnosticism was not a movement, it was an accusation by other Christian sects. So there were several types of „Gnostic“. The Ebionites are the polar opposite of the Marcionists but also accused of Gnosticism meaning „secret knowledge“. They did not believe Yaweh was the demiurge, and strictly held to Jewish law but believed Jesus was an Adam Kadmon, the undivided Hermaphroditic Adam, therefore closer to God. They were not Platonists.

Thanks for this, there much here to think through! I think there is lots Christians (myself included) can learn form Jung’s interpretation of Job, even if they reject his ultimate conclusion (E.g. Christ died for God’s sins). It seems right that the Book of Job is the pivotal book in the Old Testament. I agree with Jung that God’s answer to Job is unsatisfying. What is revealed is the irreconcilable gulf between God and Job’s human understanding. Job even says: ‘If only there were someone to mediate between us, someone to bring us together […] (9.33).’ But I take it that the complete answer to Job comes in to the New Testament. We still don’t understand God the Father’s ways, but God himself enters into creation and suffers like us. We can understand Christ and come to the Father through him (John 14.6).

Very interesting discussion. Suffering is the "hard problem" of religion, for sure. However it's odd that Jung's collective unconscious is being viewed here just in terms of the Christian/Jewish myth, which isn't shared by other religions, thus undermining its claim to collective universality. The creative flow from the non-dual Self to the multiplicity of egoic selves results in the polarities of the collective unconscious manifesting in nature and hence the inevitability of suffering in the state of ignorance (of one's true nature - the Self). Being non-dual, the Self is both yin and yang and neither, both and neither good or evil (the Tao that can be named is not the real Tao). I think this view of the Godhead makes It seem less psychotic and ignorant than Jung's "analysis" would suggest.... PS there's also an asymmetry in critical polarities - darkness is the absence of light, ignorance of knowledge, evil of goodness. So maybe God is pure love, goodness and beauty after all...

Exactly what I thought. Yahwe is not universal because there is the Brahman.

Jung did not dismiss Eastern religion or other religious ideas. But he focused mainly on the myths whether the Abrahamic religions or European fairytales and legends. And he did not do this out of ethnocentrism but out of the belief that culture creates the specific contents and language of the psyche, but the psyche can spontaneously produce entirely „other“ images akin to other traditions. Jung also emphasize what he called the restoration of the persona, for Western people. Because the Eastern tradition emphasized the encounter with the Self, Atman as the destination of which one is outside of conventional society, a holy person. Jung emphasized a return. In traditional Vedantism one gives up their traditional role and even their name. A westerner who combined both perspectives was Ramm Dass who famously said, „it’s great to reach enlightenment but it’s also nice to know your address.“ Which IMO sums up the issue nicely.

The most wonderful gift is to know our true essence. Great videos!

Amazing content, thank you❤

I think that is something buddhism has given me that christianity didn't. That unity between the opposites and incorporating that loving (meta) aspect to practice (great analogy of a bird, one wing is love and the other wing Is logic and wisdom. It can't really fly without either). I still struggle, because habitually I want perfectionism from myself in an absolute good sense (hangover from my lutheran upbringing) and want to side step my shadow. Needless to say, I see the inevitable swing of the pendulum in the other direction. Your essay and conversations really struck an elegant point around this. Thanks so much as always for your work. Will be revisiting this one again once I finish reading Answer to Job.

God what God. Why do so many believe in the invisible man. This god has never done anything to protect anyone. Why is he invisible. I don't understand why a being that supposedly created all seem and unseen. How come he F.... d up where earth and us are concerned. I can't believe in a being that does absolutely nothing for his creation. Our God, it feel like he's the Anti. Can anyone dispute this. If true at least the jesus character came and tried. Religion was of it's time, it's fadeing out, thank god 😅

I think Jung was wrong here. People who have had NDE experiences said that while they were on the other side they undestood the meaning of everything which they were not capable to concieve once they returned to this realm. Jung is pegging anthropomorphic characteristics onto God. Just because we can't see or know why, does not necessarily imply God is unconscious and unknowing. If God exists by definition he must be the opposite of anything with limits. Including knowledge.

Very deep and interesting view on the subject, thanks!

I found your channel today! Brilliant! Bravo I'm hooked!!!

I would love to see a conversation between Jordan Peterson and Bernardo Kastrup. It is so evident that conversation has to happen.

Hats off to Essentia for hiring Hans... :) Fantastic and important content, thanks for producing this. Lots to think about.

"This is I, the creator of all the ungovernable, ruthless forces of Nature, which are not subject to any ethical laws. I, too, am an amoral force of Nature". So does the Bible actually say this, or is it just Jung's interpretation of the story of Job? If the Bible doesn't state anywhere, or if it isn't a given, that God has an amoral nature, then Jung's reasoning seems to proceed from a flawed basis. Reaching the conclusion that God isn't aware of the evil created is also contradictory since God is by definition omniscient. Frankly, this seems like an exercise in silly heresy.

This is not a Bible quote, but quoted from Answer to Job (p26). Jung's analysis was that though God is indeed by definition omniscient he did not 'consult' his own omniscience, in that regard, according to Jung, Satan was in a sense more 'conscious' that Yahweh.

Carl Jung is a self-proclaimed heretic who practiced divination, necromancy and spiritism. He conversed with demons that instructed him that Christ needed to go and it became time for a new 'myth'. Sounds like what the Anti-Christ would say. Oh and Jung also thought he became God and therefor he could teach people to elevate themselves to Gods, undermining Christ. He is a blasphemous heretic possessed by demons. What could go wrong?

I love Jung and understand his dilemma, as I have struggled with the same in my own personal epic tragedy....yet what truly saved me is knowing that 1. God manifested in Jesus His utmost love toward humans as the most loving Father, 2. How He became man, like Job, Jung and you and me...inhering bodily all the streams of biological network of DNA epigenetic markers, and 3. Suffering like no one else has suffered on the cross to redeem me and 4. ultimately making me in His own image capable of giving of my self like He did; and 5. Ultimately, demonstrating to Spiritual beings in heavenly realm, like satan, that yes! Man, even fable and weak, can (by His grace) freely give of himself, in love to redeem his fellow humans.

I truly don’t mean to sound so critical but in all of those words I hear only repeated dogmas and nothing of any true value or insight. And I am not one to write off belief or the gospels. I always approach it with genuine seriousness. However, I just don’t see how the comment is a response to anything said in this video. It’s just a declaration of maybe a personal revelation worded in the same exact language it always is. This is troubling to me, because as a teacher will always ask you to repeat what you’ve learned in your own words to show a true understanding of what’s being said is vital, and since this is so rare in such cases of declarations of faith, this sort rings hallow to my ears. To be completely honest, and this is not to agitate, it always pops up in places where it feels like a knee jerk reaction by those afraid to explore thoughts that they are conditioned to immediately reject as potentially blasphemous or making someone uncomfortable to even think about, which is something to consider.

It seems to me Jesus represents ourselves individually and all the characters in the Bible represent different states of mind for ourselves individually. Christ is our awareness, I am presence of being. Rev. 1-5 I am the faithful witness and the first begotten of the dead. The dead would be the person we appear to be. Christ is the life of the body, our being. 🙏

Such a important revelation. Thank you for this.

Brilliant, thank you.

I’d love to hear a Jewish perspective on this. Considering how many Jewish jungians there are, there’s got to be some considered opinions.

I'm only half Jewish but look: historically and even today: non-jewish cultures have a cancerous collective mind virus. They have the every man should be kicked out at age 18 and while the boot print of his parents is still outlined in a red bruise on his back he must pull himself up by his own bootstraps to make a way. Naturally, these cultures end up with collective debt they can't service and they collapse cyclicly. The knuckleheaded economic types with their proud summa cum laude degree from places like The University of Maryland make a living off of writing papers conjecturing why capitalism has this cyclical deficit. Always telling themselves it is just a matter of the correct theory in monetary policy that is needed. While in the Jewish culture the progeny are properly educated, and given a cushion upon which to start out in the world free from the strangling obligation to borrow money at usurious rates. So, it is very sad what happens when the fools foul their societies up so drastically that when they are walking about aimlessly with wild aimless eyes and they notice that the Jewish folk are doing just fine it is a troubling propensity built in to the limited and generally misused, I'll maintained, and fragile human mind to seek a scapegoat. You can challenge me if you want. I won't be happy to go on long enough to fill in every putative hole here and neither will you by the time I finish. But you can if you want to have a go.

This is really my first introduction to Jung's thought. I am surprised to find that my life has prepared me to appreciate and in a way resonate to all of the content of this presentation. It is as of you and your guests are verbalizing knowing that I am aware of but would struggle to put into words that could convey it. I must read Answer to Job and also Bernatdo Castro's book. Thank you for vreating and sharing this video.

Its always like this. This is the law of the spiritual path. As they say "when the disciple is prepared, the teacher (book...) comes.

When I knew you guys were going to record this video, I mustered up the courage to read Answer to Job. Now watching the video I feel the effort of reading it was worth it

Fascinating topic!

Fantastic video, very interesting. And thanks to Bernardo for the recommendation, I finished the book a few days ago.

Thank you! 🙏

Thank you for the video, very good. I will read the book.

Amazing video! Thank you very much!

Incredible content thank you

thank you for sharing. keep well ☆

Sounds like exactly the book I have been looking for. I will begin reading it immediately

That summary of 'Answer to Job' was pure gold! The moment Bernardo dropped the book in his video '10 ESSENTIAL reads with Bernardo Kastrup,' I snagged it and devoured the whole thing in one go-more like a study session than a casual read. This video is practically a love letter to Jung's brilliance. Hats off to Hans Busstra; the dude nailed it! The Essentia Foundation is slowly but surely becoming my spiritual HQ. Love you guys
