Carl Jung once said “In addition to our immediate consciousness which is of a thoroughly personal nature there exists a second psychic system of a collective, universal, and impersonal nature which is identical in all individuals.”
Recently a friend said to me in a meeting at work about a problem he had “I’m sending prayers up to the universe”, I said “why not pray to God?” He said in agreement “yes well whatever it is you call God.”
We can hear people pray to the universe today, because they sense something or someone is there but they don’t understand him and have entirely overlooked the massiveness and ever-present spirit of Jesus Christ. The Bible says Jesus “became a life-giving spirit.”
Jung’s “system” is a person, it is not a force, it is not a mystical universe.
Also the “system” is not a mystery anymore, it is entirely much more than a system, it is entirely much more than a force, it is entirely much more than a universe.
The truth is that the spirit of Jesus Christ is Jungs “second psychic system of a collective universal and impersonal nature…”!
“He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities-all things have been created through Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.”
- Paul in Colossians 1:15-17 NASB
