Jung was aware of Oriental cosmologies claiming we exist in a connected
projected matrix, but also that his readership was socialized as
Christian, and therefore pulled his punch.

projected matrix, but also that his readership was socialized as
Christian, and therefore pulled his punch.
Saint Ramprasad said the "dis-connectedness" is a delusion.

Considering the fact that admitting otherwise would cost psychologists
a lot of money... The notion that we are all connected is too
dogmatically expressed to be credible.

the guilt tripping is obviously neurotic. Of the lot, Jung is the only
one I came across that at least understood Oriental cosmologies.
Dunno if he knew a lot more than he dared to express. His sexual
practices were notorious, but entirely consistent with many of the
Oriental traditions.
