“The task of consciousness is to preserve the best possible relationship between the rational and irrational, the concrete and abstract, the literal and symbolic, and so on.” LuminousJungArchetypesCollective Unconscious Book:Dark Religion: Fundamentalism from The Perspective of Jungian Psychology Source: Dark Religion: Fundamentalism from The Perspective of Jungian Psychology
“When the ego is inflated by the Archetype of the Self, some functions of the ego are connected to the reality principle and other sectors harbor grandiose persuasions based on archetypal imagery (Imago Dei) and emotion. Typical with this type of inflation, one feels with great excess, indestructible (protected by God), absolutely justified (having God's mandate) in his or her action, and free from psychological shadow (being supremely good). We termed this type of inflation theocalypsis and will talk more about this concept later in this book.” JungArchetypesEgo Inflation Book:Dark Religion: Fundamentalism from The Perspective of Jungian Psychology Source: Dark Religion: Fundamentalism from The Perspective of Jungian Psychology
