Stop me if I'm wrong. Archetypes are atavistic ideas images and forms common to all humanity and how your subconscious and the collective unconsciousness communicates. Thus being more in touch with these archetypes and understanding them leads to a happier, healthier, and hale individual.

He's just another tool of the establishment. He pushes globohomo, miscegenation, matriarchy, and conformity just like every other shill. You'd think for someone who's read so much Jung he'd have a little more Aryan-consciousness but I guess he's too narrow minded.

20th century communist/leftist thinkers. Fromm, Zizek, Althusser, Lacan. when I was in university the critical theory type professors all had a boner for both Marx and Freud, and tried to merge their ideas as often as possible

Yes.

Just completed the Jung chart of recommending reading and I'm a believer. Now what?

Esotericism is inherently anti-majority. If it became mainstream then it would no longer be esoteric. Jung never really prescribed a political or religious system that he thought should take over the role that traditional religion, at least not formally. In fact all he did was describe the meta structure of religions themselves. Jungianism leads one not to exoteric religion, but to the individuation process, which is not a process many people, if any, are ever able to successfully complete. It takes an incredible amount of wisdom, self reflection, and spiritual awareness to be able to follow that path. Esoteric teachings have remained esoteric for that reason. Mainstream religion is much more accessible than analytic psychology. Religion is like ordering McDonalds; individuation is preparing a 10 course meal from scratch, including growing all the vegetables and other ingredients yourself.

If you're interested in Jungian theory applied to culture at large, I would point you towards the works of Edward Edinger. He touches on this idea in many of his books/interviews. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScQq6N-8q-U

The TL;DR version is that our society will need to undergo a transformation of the God image. We need an underlying mythological structure that gives people purpose, meaning, and direction in their lives. But in the 21st century the orthodox version of God is not tenable. In order to salvage the good aspects of religion and inoculate ourselves against nihilism we need a sophisticated version of the God image that is reconcilable with the scientific world we live in.

To answer your question I would say that no, exoteric Christianity and esoteric Christianity cannot really be fully synthesized. There are too many contradictions between the two, despite their superficial similarities.

For me, its Jung. His mapping of the collective unconscious is brilliant and of vital importance to modern man.

Is he worth reading?
