This post contains a few short videos showing how Jung’s archetypal theory is applied, particularly regarding the archetypes of the Shadow; Anima / Animus; and the Self.
The purpose of focusing on these three archetypes is that they provide information as to how Aleister Crowley’s goals of sexual revolution; drug revolution, and revolution against the authority of Christianity have been unfolding since the mid 20th century (see categories, Paganism, part 1 and 2 for posts foundational to this series).
Remember, this series is highlighting concepts found in Dr. Peter Jones’ book, The Other Worldview. Therein, Dr. Jones identified Oneism (man and God are made of same stuff) and compared it with Twoism (God created man and is holy, totally unlike anyone or anything else). His purpose was to clearly define the oneist worldview; to show that it is the antithesis of Christianity; to identify the central figures whose theories are driving this movement; to suggest Christian responses to this movement, and so on.
Many seemingly diverse groups are involved in this movement, for example: wiccans / satanists; emergent church goers; new agers (or whatever they go by currently); ecumenical groups; mystics; progressives (spiritual and political); and so on. These are linked by the practice of eastern meditation. Therein, the sought after spirit guides lead practitioners into the mystical experience of oneism.
This movement merges occultism and science; furthermore, it provides the spirituality that atheists, secularists…lacked in their worldview. It does this while rejecting the God of the Bible and the biblical Christian worldview, both of which have been an afterthought since the late 19th century when the scientific method was discovered–when man began to naively believe that he could create an earthly utopia.
The following 3 minute video speaks of the goals of Jungian psychologists, oneism, and occultism.
In the following 16 minute video, much information is provided about the application of Jungian theories, androgyny, treatment goals, wholeness / wellness.
In the following 7 minute video, Dr. June Singer, a student of Jung, explains Jung’s theory of individuation:
In the above video, Dr. Singer spoke of the “power that comes through you.” I believe that she is referring to the power of the “higher self,” or the spirit guide that one encounters via eastern meditation–such as Jung, Crowley and others have written about. (The Bible calls such spirits demonic.)
In the following 5 minute video, Dr. Jordan Peterson, a Jungian psychologist, explains how one might integrate his Shadow Self:
Summary points regarding this paganistic one-world movement:
- Via eastern meditation, one encounters the divine via that inner spark of divinity within his own self
- Practitioners must do the work themselves by going on a spiritual quest; if one is successful, then he will be healed spiritually via encounters with his higher self, his spirit guide…
- The worship practices of these diverse paganistic groups vary somewhat; they are similar in that they look for god within via meditation, and / or via an experience of enlightenment
- It seems that the homosexual movement is a means to accomplish androgyny, the sacrament of oneism (Dr. Jones notes this point in his book)
- Incorporating the shadow self includes such activities as sinning boldly via sexual promiscuity (Dr. Jones’ book)
- Self-healing; self-help; self-realization…enlightenment are the goals of this paganistic system
- Those souls that attain enlightenment will be able to change the world via, e.g., the green movement
- Practitioners must save themselves spiritually
- Practitioners must rationalize their guilt away or stand defiant in the face of it
- Practitioners fully indulge themselves to achieve individuation
- Pagan practitioners are Romans 1: 18–25 worshipers of the little god within themselves; that is, worshiping the creation rather than the Creator
Christianity is the antithesis of the above paganistic system, as is apparent in the following few highlights:
- Christianity’s God is Creator; He is not a divine spark within the Christian: when the Holy Spirit resides in a believer, He continues to be the Holy God who is distinct from His creature
- Christianity is a system of divine accomplishment, that is, Christ did the work of living a perfect life and atoning for sin, at calvary, of those who would follow Him (“Diving accomplishment” is a distinctive phrase I have heard Dr. John MacArthur use when comparing Christianity to all other religions: all of them engage in “self-accomplishment”)
- Christ’s followers eventually come to realize that they are powerless to fix themselves; that they can participate in the process of sanctification via surrendering to Christ’s Spirit; forgiveness; prayer; and obedience to the commands that their God provided in His word
- God provides means via which Christ’s followers can obtain grace for their pilgrimage of sanctification on the earth: His word; hearing preaching of the gospel; partaking of the Lord’s supper; fellowship with Christians; Baptism. They cannot participate in sanctification via their own strength, as they will surely fail to grow in grace thereby
- By practicing Christian meditation: pondering God’s word and its application to their lives; looking outward, towards their Lord Jesus Christ and His accomplished work; not inward to the weak, sinful self; trusting in God’s promises and in His grace to enable them in obtaining those in their walk with God
- Followers of Christ have their guilt atoned via the gospel: God promises to forgive those who repent of their sins and forsake them (see categories, Gospel Message)
- Followers of Christ practice self-denial via picking up their crosses, mortifying fleshly desires (by grace) and following their Lord and Savior via keeping His commands as in John 15
- Followers of Christ are Romans 8 Christians
STUDY RECOMMENDATIONS:
***Dr. Peter Jones’ book: The Other Worldview, Exposing Christianity’s Greatest Threat
***The Bible: reading through the Bible may very well change your life eternally: it did so for me and for others whose testimonies are posted in this blog: Rosaria Butterfield; Mike Gendron; Fred Tarsitano (see categories, Conversion Testimonies; About Me)
***If you are Christian, this blog identifies many forms of unbiblical worship that abound in the 2019 church. If you belong to a trendy church, then you are not following the old paths spoken of by the biblical prophets; the covenants of the Old Testament are foundational to the unfolding of the New Covenant in Christ’s blood; that is, the entire Bible is very relevant to your spiritual welfare: new trends are by definition, unbiblical (see categories, unbiblical teachers / teachings; Doctrine)
