It's true that we are all connected but it is not at all true that anyone
can draw any conclusions from having us be all connected. Existentialism
basically operates on the assumption that we are not all connected but
rather we can chose the organizational hierarchy of our thought process...
but that basically operates on the assumption that we are not all connected.
I suppose the way to get there is to ask if a demon is an existentialist
entity? Well, demonology is an organizational hierarchy or philosophy. A
system is demon possessed if it possesses a demonological organizational
hierarchy. Some people say philosophy is confusing but I think you can
blame Locke for that... that must be the thing that links all philosophers
together... the notion that Locke is a philosopher for idiots.

Accepting the existence of any kind of system is a choice. We are
perfectly free to dismiss and jettison Jung's philosophy in its
entirety.
Nineteenth Century Philosophy took a strange and unsupportable
mystical turn. This can be seen in Hegel's Geist and Jung's
synchronicity. It is my opinion that those that would have otherwise
been 18thC defenders of the faith against the slings and arrows of
Hume's and other's rejection of religion were forced in the 19thC to
re-invent meaning by consulting occult rationalism.

That was a bit of a ramble.

I don't don't think too many people actually understand existentialism...
The people who invented it had a solid base in classical philosophy.
