Jung's idea that modern man stands within the time of interregnum between the dying symbols which once brought God into existence (Christianity) and the time to come with new symbols and that these "spirits" found within the psyche seem to take on a life of their own independent of the ego and the consciousness as a whole. My question is, did Jung ever directly imply the existence of God(s) and some metaphysical outlook? Or did he always just stick with the collective unconscious as just apart of ones psyche and nothing more? This shit sometimes honestly reads like both the cult from Silent Hill and the concept of the warp from 40k and the very real possibility that our current degeneracy is ushering in the emergence of Slaanesh. How deep does this /x/ tier shit actually go with Jung?
>>17413535if anything the spiritualism flowing out of Jung hints at a sort of Spinozist pantheism, but this doesn't seem especially important to Jung's world-history. a lot of 20th century thought was inspired by Eastern* religion, though, and especially the idea of a sort of synthesis of all world religions based on some hypothetical truths underlying all of them. that kinda flows into the new-age spiritualism you get right before the turn of the 21st century
>>17413568He brings up good points though no?
>>17413535Whatch that Face to Face interview and aftermath.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLxc5lAGRH4He claimed to "know" that there is a force he called "God", which people should take into account. Wether it's some real metaphysical being or a psychological force, he was agnostic on. He stated his belief in an afterlife and a soul existing beyond brain chemistry pretty obviously though, so it's more complicated than "either there is literally a Christian God or it's all made up by humans who are just advanced meat machines".
He states directly in the red book that god is an inward manifestation of the soul and that the outside god has died.
