"The Dark Shadow Of The Quaternity"
~ A critique of the Jungian unitarian Self ~
Abstract: In his 1925 seminar, Carl Jung accounts for a crucifixion
fantasy where he takes the appearance of a pagan deity. The article
argues that Jung misinterprets this and other motives. Jung's unitarian
model of the human self harbours a multitude of opposites, which are
disconsonant, such as unmixable pagan and Christian elements. The
resultant self ideal is overblown and therefore unhealthy. These
elements ought to be separated into two spiritual realms, an upper and a
lower, and the model of the self ought to mirror this bipartition.
Jung's own fantasies give evidence to this.
Keywords: quaternity, self, transcendental, trinitarian, spirit, active
imagination, circular distillation, complementation, integration.
