The Undiscovered Self (Routledge Great Minds)

Product Information

The problem is that -- as that first, random quotation implied -- the "unconscious" turns out to basically mean Christianity. The dictator State has one great advantage over bourgeois reason: along with the individual it swallows up his religious forces. The State takes the place of God; that is why, seen from this angle, the socialist dictatorships are religions and State slavery is a form of worship. But the religious function cannot be dislocated and falsified in this way without giving rise to secret doubts, which are immediately repressed so as to avoid conflict with the prevail trend towards mass-mindedness. […] The policy of the State is exalted to a creed, the leader or party boss becomes a demigod beyond good and evil, and his votaries are honoured as heroes, martyrs, apostles, missionaries. There is only one truth and beside it no other. It is sacrosanct and above criticism. Anyone who thinks differently is a heretic, who, as we know from history, is threatened with all manner of unpleasant things. Only the party boss, who holds the political power in his hands, can interpret the State doctrine authentically, and he does so just as suits him.” Psychology and Alchemy (2nd ed. 1968 Collected Works Vol. 12 ISBN 0-691-01831-6).

Our philosophy is no longer a way of life, as it was in antiquity; it has turned into an exclusively intellectual and academic affair. Princeton University Press catalog of the Bollingen series, with links to listings of individual works The modern state suppresses individuality with official doctrine, creeds, and truth and turns people into social units. To correct this situation, Jung sees a vital role for the individual's private relationship with "an extramundane authority" (as opposed to mass, organized religion) that taps into "the inner man." This is "the undiscovered self." As to what that might be, Jung calls it "an insoluble puzzle" that, nevertheless, must be allowed expression via symbols and such that conduce "to synthesis" (versus "a dissociation of personality"), allowing the individual to regain control of his or her life. For Jung, the "puzzle" that must be solved is to adapt instinctive, a priori archetypal forms "into ideas which are adequate to the challenges of the present." Psychic health appears to involve some sort of "immediate relation to God," a tapping into one's instinctive being, and expression of what lies inside rather than its suppression. Somehow, this leads to self-knowledge and health and, we presume, counters mass society and its oppressive nature.

door on the naïve and romantic delight in the senses and their obligatory love for the object. This tells us, in plain and universal language, that the prophetic spirit of art has turned away from the old object relationship and towards the – for the time being – dark chaos of subjectivisms. Certainly art, so far as we can judge of it, has not yet discovered in this darkness what it is that holds all men together and could give expression to their psychic wholeness. Since reflection seemsJordan Peterson introduced me to Jung thru his books and his videos. While walking into work last week i stumbled upon a box of books in the trash and The Undiscovered Self just so happened to be in the mix, so I read it. This was my first Jung book and I honestly wasn’t blown away but I couldn’t put it down. Some of the material is above my pay grade however that which I could grasp I could definitely dig it. I look at it this way, here’s this book lying on its death bed about to be sent into a trash heap to decompose and just as that’s about to occur it gets another shot at doing its job once more, and for that reason this book is special to me, we were meant for each other. I would say this books shelf life has just had a Cinderella ending. Abstracts: Vol 17: The Development of Personality". International Association for Analytic Psychology.
