Carl Jung's View On God (EXPLAINED)

"I don't need to believe, I know" When Carl Jung made this claim about God there was a lot of obvious controversy over what he meant, in this video I present what he truly meant by such a claim with a letter he sent to help clarify his view on God to the public

"There are two different types of people in the world, those who want to know, and those who want to believe." - Nietzche

[MrScoobydoo]

"God is a circle whose Centre Is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere" classic !

[adamsmith]

The difficulty of a finite being attempting to comprehend the infinite.

[Gnosis]

He knows God. A mystic doesn’t believe in God, as he has experienced gnosis in his heart.

[Irisphotojournal]

I think he said "I Know" because God is in us at some level and most of us feel it.

This is crazy, and super synchronistic. Like two weeks ago i watched that same interview and had to rewind on that same specific segment, and i was surprised the interviewer just brushed off that answer like it was nothing !!! I know EXACTLY what he means. In that same interview he talks about an experience he had when he was 11, where he said something along the lines of "I came out of the fog". He experienced God in his own consciousness. This is what I experienced about two months ago, for 5 minutes my ego construct was gone, and I experienced the beauty that lies behind this construct. It came in combination with a kundalini awakening over a longer period of time and I even had a psychotic breakdown lol, but it was the best experience I've had in my entire life. Synchronicities became clear as day, I saw meaning and symbolism in everything, the universe was sort of like speaking to me, I felt connected to everything, I felt enormous energy, purpose, clarity and creativity. When you experience this you just KNOW what God is. And it became even more clear to me how the current society and way of thinking about the world leads you in the complete other direction. Every human has the ability to experience this. Every, single, one, of, us.

"I am in the father and the father is in me"
=
"My individual consciousness is in the universal consciousness, and the universal consciousness is in me."

I studied Carl Jung he was such an amazing man, I TRULY BELIEVED He WAS WAY AGHEAD OF HIS TIME IN HIS EXCELLENT TEACINGS. In my studies to becoming a Psychoanalyst many years ago. I found him to be one the most humble of teachers. Thank you so much FOR YOUR VIDEOS.

Do you believe that tiktok is shit?
"I Dont need to believe, I know"

To those who are seeking gnosis, and finding true self, I commend you with the highest compassion, as I know how hard this journey is. Recently, I've felt like my ego is a wounded animal, desperate to self preserve by identifying with my highest self. Sometimes it feels like I'm going insane, trying to outwit my ego, but through meditation, I can reach this peace of true self, as I become cellularly one with the Source. And I'm happy for everyone else on this path with me. Jung is such an inspiration.

He says I know God because he knows himself.

[Matt-cjus]

‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭1:13‭-‬14‬ ‭NKJV‬
[13] And I set my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all that is done under heaven; this burdensome task God has given to the sons of man, by which they may be exercised. [14] I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and indeed, all is vanity and grasping for the wind

[alexjames]

I am part Lakota, the wicasa wakan (shamans) of the Lakota used to speak of Wakan Tanka, the “Great Mystery” similarly:

“Then I was standing on the highest mountain of them all, and round about beneath me was the whole hoop of the world. And while I stood there I saw more than I can tell and I understood more than I saw; for I was seeing in a sacred manner the shapes of all things in the spirit, and the shape of all shapes as they must live together like one being. And I saw that the sacred hoop of my people was one of many hoops that made one circle, wide as daylight and as starlight, and in the center grew one mighty flowering tree to shelter all the children of one mother and one father. And I saw that it was holy.

This center which is here, but which we know is really everywhere, is Wakan Tanka”

-Nicholas Black Elk

I love that your thumbnail inadvertently connects two people greatly influenced by the mystical (interfaith) Christian, Emanuel Swedenborg - William Blake and Carl Jung. He's also called by Suzuki, the Buddha of the North.

[AM-ivku]

God is a word with a meaning moving towards "Absolute". God to science is absolute knowledge, but science does not call absolute knowledge God. People say God is "Absolute Love" or that God is "Absolute Answer" or God is ''Absolute Peace" or God is "Absolute Power" or God is "Absolute Passion" or God is "Absolute Principle". This is peoples attempt to reach the "Absolute" of an idea then attempting to define this idea into a meaning that is understandable. Then when you finally understand you get to understand beauty, but beauty was always there in the stories you just didn't understand why this was God. You're a child in a story who is trying to remember why, who, when, what and how.

[georgeanastasopoulos]

Intriguing, and with a touch of mysticism besides logic; Carl Gustav Jung explains it well. Enough said. Thumbs up.

4:00 reminded me of a poem by ibn arabi

Listen, O dearly beloved!
I am the reality of the world, the centre of the circumference,
I am the parts and the whole.
I am the will established between Heaven and Earth,
I have created perception in you only in order to be the object of My Perception.
If then you perceive Me, you perceive yourself.
But you cannot perceive Me through yourself.
It is through My Eyes that you see Me and see yourself,
Through your eyes you cannot see Me.

Dearly beloved!
I have called you so often and you have not heard Me.
I have shown Myself to you so often and you have not seen Me.
I have made Myself fragrance so often, and you have not smelled Me,
Savorous food, and you have not tasted Me.
Why can you not reach Me through the object you touch
Or breathe Me through sweet perfumes?
Why do you not see Me? Why do you not hear Me?
Why? Why? Why?

For you My delights surpass all other delights,
And the pleasure I procure you surpasses all other pleasures.
For you I am preferable to all other good things,
I am Beauty, I am Grace.

Love Me, love Me alone.
Love yourself in Me, in Me alone.
Attach yourself to Me,
No one is more inward than I.
Others love you for their own sakes,
I love you for yourself.
And you, you flee from Me.

Dearly beloved!
You cannot treat Me fairly,
For if you approach Me,
It is because I have approached you.
I am nearer to you than yourself,
Than your soul, than your breath.
Who among creatures
Would treat you as I do?

I am jealous of you, over you,
I want you to belong to no other,
Not even to yourself.
Be Mine, be for Me as you are in Me,
Though you are not even aware of it.

Dearly beloved!
Let us go toward Union.
And if we find the road
That leads to separation,
We will destroy separation.

Let us go hand in hand.
Let us enter the presence of Truth.
Let It be our judge
And imprint Its seal upon our union
For ever.

I'm binge watching your videos. Interesting topics man thank you

[SILVIOV]

There are two types of people: those who believe and those who don't and the last are already condemned. Knowledge without repentance is still not good.
