>Duty to consume the most nourishing literature This is exactly why I dislike Christian religions specifically and Abrahamic religions in general. They propagate the same attitude of kids who are afraid of the dark and have to sleep with a light on. "Don't worry son," the f*ther says, "night will be over soon, don't be scared. When you wake up we'll watch that Disney movie you like so much for the 30th time." Pathetic. They're scared of the universe and its mystery. The Christian god is nobody's saviour, but only their doom. He lures people in with his comfortable nullification of life and the promise to the end all suffering. Christians hate life, and would rather live in a fantasy world for the rest of eternity. And they're only too ready to admit it. Why don't they get out of their pretentious bubbles and learn to conquer life? Turn off the fucking light and sleep like a grown up for once. No thank you I will not read your "nourishing" Disney books.

To climb this mountain purposefully, using a trodden path and a map, and not to wander upon its summit as a consequence of proper decisions, is worse than to stay at the bottom. Wherever there's method, it overtakes and corrupts the goal.

Unless one believes them to be; to that person then they are the embodiment of goodness. Eliminate the word -god- and instead substitute whatever it is that stands in your mind under it with your most morally idealistic self and world/universal view

As I said, codified method produces the separation of ethics and esthetics, the paroxism of this being that esthetics are a tool to immerse oneself in the corresponding ethical. In plainer terms:
A fedora man convinces himself to believe in God (maybe societal pressure, fashion, or repulsion to past self) and believes in God in the same he believed in the abscence of one. Circuits inside the brain haven't shifted, they just changed labels, the 'way of thinking'* remains the same.
*very crude way of naming this phenomenon. How one processes information may be closer but still reeks of high-level concepts rather than lower-level ones. Good or God of Good necesseraly exists as Good or Holistic Good necessarily exists, probably even as a hyperprior, so that's just a shortcut that applies universally - even to fedora at the bottom who certainly likes to abuse it.
"God as you describe it certainly exists but informs nothing back to the Being, there's no difference between God and God or God of Good".
Evan Myers
Yeah, you believe you exist and it is true. You can believe you exist in a dream and it is true. You can believe all of existence is pointless and it is true. You can believe you are in a coma and it is true.
Pay close attention to your outlook of the world in conjunction with your mental state. You may come to realize a void in your life is merely a void in your mind, and it will certainly be true. Stop acting like there is no subjective and objective, and that reality is a at best a blurred line between the two
Bentley Gutierrez
Your reading comprehension is terrible
>good or God of good necessarily exists Oh I laughed heavily, what an unfounded statement
Tyler Turner
Well as someone that actually KNOWS Jung.
If you go from a statement like "God is the archtype of good" to 'praise Jesus' you never really understood a thing.
Why would you 'praise Jesus' he's not an archtype. An archetype by definition is not a single person or thing but a concept. If you are worshiping a particular God you are not acknowledging the archetype, you are just a garden variety Christian that has learned to pronounce a new strange word.
Another major problem is that Christianity doesn't understand the nature of good, and thus the nature of God. Good is not opposed to evil but in unison with it. One cannot exist without the other. So the Devil and thus Evil is just as important to knowledge and respect as goodness. To not do so creates a spiritual deficiency. This is true not matter HOW you define good and evil.
Oh and "God wills it"/Deus Volt is even more removed. The archetypes exist within an individual. So spiritual evolution is saying "I will it". Pointing to the archetypes outside yourself is something you do when you lack an understanding of your inner universe. So the crusader is basically telling everyone he's proud of his self-ignorance.
Joseph Nguyen
A mediator between what two things?
The archetypes are the ultimate end so what are they mediating?

Anthony Harris
And now to refute Jung Jung is a double edge sword. He made some things popular in the West but in doing so destroyed there actual meaning by assigning his psychoanalytic gibberish into them.
according to Jung, the figurative emergence of certain contents of the "collective unconscious" is accompanied empirically, as its psychic complement, by a noumenal sensation of eternity and infinitude; this is the way to insidiously ruin all transcendence and all intellection. According to this theory, it is the collective unconscious, or subconscious, which is the origin of "individuated" consciousness, human intelligence having two components, namely the reflections of the subconscious on the one hand and the experience of the external world on the other; but since experience is not in itself intelligence, the latter will necessarily have the subconscious for its substance, so that one ends up trying to define the subconscious on the basis of its own ramification. This is the classical contradiction of all subjectivist and relativist philosophy, and so any serious thinker who KNOWS Jung will wholeheartedly reject his framework and his psychology, even if he uses some of his ideas and finds some of his quotes beneficial. Overall the garden variety Christian is leaps and bounds above Jung, despite his ability to string gibberish together and create bogus psychological statements that sound legit, much like Freud.
Adam Flores
Good, either holistic or just as a totality of atomic instances of good, certainly exists within cognition; even delusions are born of something, it would be a world-logos inconsistency if we had a concept that is both not somehow related to the world or other concepts relating to the world - at least it is mapped to itself, even in most wild solipsistic assumptions. Obviously its is not necessary whole, maybe it's just a group with fuzzy borders, members very different but just subtly related to each other. If it's so, Good or Things that are good do exist, then Good or God of Good (more correctly Good or Things that are good or God of Good or Things that are good, but whatever) exists. It just bears zero information in its form.
>the crusades were all about killing people to take over other countries
Mason Fisher
Great, your first clause is just the assertion again, then it's followed by a distinct lack of justification. Do you understand what "baseless" means?
Jackson Young
If you don't see the correlation between what I said and you're statement of 'if I believe it, it's true to me' then I'm honestly at a loss of words towards your blockheadedness. I honestly wish I could say I am surprised. I gave you prime examples of beliefs one may hold of their reality that would subjectively be true. You responded with saying I lack reading comprehension. One of us is pseud, and please note my saging
Leo Rivera
The term God is an objective archetype of a subjective belief, just as is the term reality
Adam Reed
The word "good" exists, and what's good for you is good for you, daft contrarian cunt. Are you going to debate this, you stinky off-brand Chinese bionicle of a human? Is it going to depend on what the definition of the word is is?
Nolan Clark
>it wasn't the initial intention so it's ok
Eli Richardson
The phrase 'God is the archtype of the good. Therefor God is real' is vague and requires context to know what the fuck it means. Particularly you have to understand what the person writing THINKS 'archtype' means.
Since the middle statement lacks context I had to reach conclusions from the other statements, mostly by looking at the statements that come after it. Which imply what 'archtype' means to the author is some mystical word that authenticates garden variety Christianity.
Maybe that's not what he intended to say but when you intentionally mix in ironic memes it's a form of obscurantism.
Matthew Hernandez
If your reading comprehension was better, you'd have noted the "true *to me*". My. Post was simply throwing my hands up in exhaustion because a stance of individual truth means what he believes has no bearing on me and hence it's worthless to discuss
The entire first paragraph of your post is ridiculous and unfounded, unless you take a stance of individual truth (which is not the same as subjective truth). Your first post isn't even necessarily subjective truths either. There's a significant disconnect between what you think you wrote, and the meaning of the sentences you've actually written
Your last paragraph is not very substantive, and your last sentence literally has no bearing at all on what I've said if you were going for a refutation - my post essentially agrees with your last sentence
At least you're willing to admit you're a pseud, that's progress
>the term God is an objective archetype How do you know?
Charles Hill
No you fucking idiot, you must realize that God as an archetype is a subjective truth not an objective one. Stop trying to add context to the idea and instead strip all context from the idea and leave it by itself. It then perhaps stops being even about the Christian god, and takes the term God to its most subjective state. God as understood subjectively is the idea of the purest goodness. As soon as you attempt to add another's objective truths of god you cease seeing the sun but the beam of headlights. Why contextualize your ideas of reality with any experience but your own or those which actualize your self. For the artist, it may authenticate Christianity. But for YOU what does the middle statement mean with no other context but the application to your subjective idea of God
Blake Rivera

What the fuck are you talking about? Not only is this boarding on meaningless gibberish I can't see how it relates to Jung.
>According to this theory, it is the collective unconscious, or subconscious, which is the origin of "individuated" consciousness
Do you know what individualization means? This sentence makes zero sense. Individualization is the process of EVERY aspect of the conscious and unconscious becoming whole with itself and function without inner strife. Saying it 'comes from within the subconscious' makes about as much sense as saying that a fully assembled scuputre 'comes from the foot' or 'comes from the paint' or (which is what you are implying mentioning the collective unconscious) comes from an art-history book.
You have revealed right here that you do not know a thing about what you are talking about and are mask that using big-boy-talk.
With that in mind I see no reason to read the rest of your terrible post.
Mason Peterson
>God as understood subjectively is the idea of the purest goodness.
Statements like this are utterly meaningless. Since good and God can mean a great deal of things depending on the context. And the word "purest" in there is even more meaningless
>you must realize that God as an archetype is a subjective truth not an objective one
LOL as if there were an 'objective view of God'
The rest of your statements appear to be even emptier words.
Nathan Price
>a stance of individual truth means what he believes has no bearing on me and hence it's worthless to discuss
Unless you take the objective idea of God and view it subjectively. I know what I'm saying; you very clearly don't. I'm not saying the Christan god, I'm not saying Allah. I'm saying God. Remember this whole reply chain began because I asked of the middleman's statement ONLY. subjective truth is synonymous with individual truth you imbecile. Your post would agree with me if it wasn't for the very sarcastic line of text following your greentext.
>the term God is an objective archetype: How do you know?
You're actually retarded and have no grasp of analytics or rhetoric, and are utterly incapable of discussing something even slightly outside of its initial context. I -know- because I said God; not any specific god but God as it's objective definition.
Oliver Richardson
>LOL as if there were an 'objective view of God'
But I'm the unintelligent one saying empty words... yikes.

Ok why don't you tell us the *objective* defination of God and the *objective* method you arrived at it with.

No, subjective truth isn't synonymous with individual truth. People with the same feelings and opinions can arrive at different individual truths (religion is a good example of you look at people in different areas), despite the same subject feelings. And saying my post would agree with you betrays, once more, poor reading comprehension since my post was consistently extremely critical of your shitty post.
Please, elaborate on your objective definition of God
Being a creator has no bearing on goodness

You do realize there's plenty of cosmological models in religions that don't even have a universe that IS created? Or one's where the universe creates the Gods, in fact there are even religions where there are more than 1 God!

This is a subjective view of God one that is mainly a Christian and and Islamic perspective.
