Carl Jung

Carl Jung

Carl Jung is one of the controversial figures in human history. Carl Jung lived for a long time from 1875 to 1961. He changed the way we look at the human pscyhe. He was a pioneer of the New Age Movement. Jung (who had illicit affairs with other women being an adulterer against his wife of 52 years) said that we are entering into the Age of Aquarius. He was a pioneer of dream analysis, which is about interpretating human dreams. Some have criticized Jung as a medicine man who utilized descredited scientific views on the human mind. Others praise him. Carl G. Jung was a Swiss psychiatrist. His disciples called him the "Hexenmeister of Zurich" or the Master sorcerer. Some have classified him as a Christian or his father as a Lutheran pastor. This just isn't true, because Jung admitted privately that he was a Gnostic. He even borrowed elements of his thinking from ancient Gnosticism. Jung was a very intelligent man. He could read Latin, Greek, German, English, and French. He was a medical doctor, an universtiy professor, and an early disciple of the controversial Sigmund Freud.

Jung was the founder of his own school of psychology called Analytical Psychology. Carl Jung expored dreams, myths, imagination, and the occult. He “experienced precognition, clairvoyance, psychokinesis, and haunting” (Harper’s Encyclopedia of Mystical and Paranormal Experience). His critics contend that he regularly used New Age thought under the cover of psychological science. Soon, Freud broke form Jung. Carl Jung experienced a six year breakdown afterwards. Jung believed that archetypes (or figures from his fantasies) can improve someone's conscious mind. Carl Jung believed that one archetypes (which he called daemon or a demon) named Philemon would guide his as his "teacher." These are Carl Jung's words about his "spirit guide" Philemon: "...Philemon and other figures of my fantasies brought home to me the crucial insight that there are things in the psyche which I do not produce, but which produce themselves and have their own life. Philemon represented a force that was not myself. In my fantasies I held conversations with him, and he said things which I had not consciously thought. [?] Psychologically, Philemon represented supeerior insight.” (The Automatic Writings of Jung by Philip Coppens) Carl Jung even worked with his mother and 2 female cousins in hypnotically induced seances. The Bible condemns spiritism and demon contact. Even the Bible says that Satan can masquerade as an angel of light. It doesn't matter if a so-called "spirit guide" expresses great intellect. If this being says something that is baltantly contrary to the Scriptures, you ought to reject that "being." John gave this warning: “Do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world” (I John 4). He has so much demon contact that Jung claimed to experience poltergeists in his house. Jung wrote the Gnostic book of the Seven Sermons of the Dead (that praised the false Gnostic god of Abraxas, which embodied both good and evil in one). In Scripture believers are admonished, "give no regard to mediums and familiar spirits; do not seek after them, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God" (Leviticus 19:31). Carl Jung's embrace of the occult didn't end there. He promoted the embrace of occult phenomena as apart of the exploration of the unconscious. He cointed the scientific sounding word of synchronicity to describe it. Synchronicity can refer to meaningful coincidences as well. He tried to legitimatize divination, the I Ching, yoga, astrology, and all manner of psychic practices. This is strange for a doctor to embrace such unscientific methods such as astrology. Even automatic writing has been embraced by some scientists to explore the unconscious. Carl Jung believed that the metaphysical occult world have certain components that is found in all religions, therefore giving the human psyche equal status to all religious views. Jung believed in visualization and in the inner child (or that even an adult has a representation of a child that represents the

way he or she was treated as a child. Jung views it as an archetype. An archetype is a mental image that are innate in human lives. They can have a life of their own and influence religious experiences). Visualization deals with using mental images and using the mind in esoteric methods (some want to do it for pain control, psyhcotherapy, and other reasons). According to Carl Jung, there is an impersonal "collective unconscious" or a type of library possessing all things ever known. This is present in each person's unconscious. The “collective unconscious” is pure myth. Richard Webster wisely observes that “the Unconscious is not simply an occult entity for whose real existence there is no palpable evidence. It is an illusion produced by language--a kind of intellectual hallucination” (Richard Webster, Why Freud Was Wrong, p. 250, quoted from Ed Hird). According to Don Matzat,

“Jung theorized that all humanity, past and present, were connected on an unconscious plane. Therefore, deep within each individual was the collective wisdom of the ages, including all religious, mythical content. ? Jung placed a "scientific" footing under occult phenomenaa and mystical experience. Jung was deeply involved in the occult and did his doctoral thesis on parapsychology. He also was interested in Catholic mysticism and conducted seminars on the teachings of Ignatius Loyola.” That's interesting since Loyola claimed that his unbiblical trances gave him inspiration from God. Actually, God doesn't lead people into trances. Either Loyola was hallucinating or demonic forces inspired Loyola to create his Jesuit order. Hence, there is a Jesuit connection to Carl Gustav Jung. Even the faulty lie detector test and the MBTI (or Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator, which is a personality and psychological test to see what makes people tick) are based on Jung's theories. Jung embrace pagan principles.

According to Elliot Miller, “The movement that Jung initiated is much closer in nature to a neopagan (Aryan) cult than the scientific psychiatric discipline that it has always claimed to be. It is not just religious but a religion.” (Book review “The Jung Cult: Origins of a Charismatic Movement” By Elliot Miller Includes all quotes by J. Budziszewski)

Fritz Springmeier in his "Be Wise as Serpents" book wrote interesting information on Carl Jung: "...Many of the modern educational ideas within such a school are not even be realized by the general public as occultic. People get very defensive when one

explains that psychology, which is considered a science, is but based on the occultic direction that Freud and Jung gave. Jung is openly recognized by occultists like the Rosicrucians as having been an illumined mind.28 Freud was a drug addict. Jung got his information from a "spirit guide." (What Christian's call a demon.) Jung was into mandalas. Jung wrote a foreward to the book The I Ching. Jung was into astrology. He wrote a commentary on The Tibetan Book of the Dead. He says that "to it I owe not only many stimulating ideas and discoveries but also many fundamental insights."29 This great Jewish mystic Jung, an associate of Freud, gave us much of the foundation of modern psychology. Leaders of the religion of psychology such as Maslow, Rogers, and Fromm all took their "trip East" into occultism...Those who are associated with the Theosophical Society, for instance, would be aware of Jung occultic connections, because the Society's catolog of Quest books advertises Jung and the Lost Gospels, Jungian Synchronicity in Astrological Signs and Ages, and Gnostic Jung and the Seven Sermons of the Dead...." One of Carl Jung's false views is that he wanted to merge good and evil or light and darkness. The Bible of course condemns such actions. Jung's Gnostic teachings include the view that self knowledge is more important than morality. He viewed God as a quarternity not as a Trinity. He called this the Father, Son, Holy Spirit, and Lucifer, which is blasphemy of course He viewed God as having an evil demonic side. Carl Jung of course believed that all religious truth relates to pyschological elements in human consciousness. In other words Christ, Buddha, Shiva, etc are just examples of "savior archetypes" that are part of the "collective unconscious." These archetypes in Jung's mind have equal religious value. I learned of this view of Jung from high school. Religious relativism is embrassing of this view and this is erreneously classified as "scientific" in many circles. He taught that man has a divine Self that can be unveiled via self knowledge. This thinking is exactly similar to Hinduism, the New Age Movement, and Gnosticism. Transpersonal psychotherapies enbrace Jung's view. Jung blasphemy Jesus Christ again. He taught the Jesus Christ only has the power, because he was possessed by the Savior archetype (i.e. Jesus was a man who was insane because he claimed to be God. This is related to the Gnostic verson of Christ that seperates the person from the "Christ Spirit"). Jung's lies are infiltrating some Christian groups. The long apostate Fuller Theological Seminary is offering a department of Psychology. In it they promote the books of Carl Jung. Jung's influence is on Rick Warren's SHAPE program that has been utilized by many churches (including institutions). John Spong, Richard Foster, and others love his work. Carl Jung openly doubted the Christian faith and he disrespected Jesus Christ (as not real and a god of death). Why would Christians align with him anyway? They shouldn't. Here's another quote on this subject:

J. Budziszewski, professor of Government and Philosophy at the University of Texas, says this about Jungianism: "[It] is based on damnable lies about the nature of good, evil, God, and the human soul. Yet these lies are being taught in ostensibly Christian seminaries and promoted by ostensibly Christian psychotherapists. I shuddered when I spoke to a Christian lady who said that her minister had been teaching her to 'gain strength from her dark side.'

The reality is that we should be careful about false doctrines. Deceptions are common and we should reject them completely. Carl Jung was a big deception. He even believed that good shouldn't overcome evil, but good should integrate with evil in order to achieve wholeness (He said that it is possible for man to attain totality or become whole by using the spirit of darkness. That's blasphemy of course). This is very erroneous. The Bible even says that God will overcome all evil and a Christan will be victorious over evil in following God's will. The apostle Paul forbids uniting with evil "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in [them]; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean [thing]; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty..." We don't need to use false archetypes praised either. Carl Jung is a Christ-hater and a demonically

deciever blasphemer. The truth is that man is sinful from the Fall of Adam. Only God's son Jesus Christ is capable of giving man salvation.
