I've just finished reading Psychology and Religion by Carl Jung.

Carl Jung (1875 – 1961) was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who founded analytical psychology. Jung's work has been influential in the fields of psychiatry, anthropology, archaeology, literature, philosophy, psychology, and religious studies.

This book is a transcript of three Terry Lectures Jung gave at Yale University in 1938.

In this short book of 131 pages, read in a couple of hours, Jung explains what he regards as an authentic religious function in the unconscious mind. He mines ancient and mediaeval gnosticism, alchemy, and occult literature, together with both Western and Eastern world religions, to bring forward hypotheses regarding the symbolism of unconscious processes and the possibility of religious forms that have appeared and reappeared through the centuries, which he calls archetypes.

He explores all this in the context of a doctor - patient relationship, during which he reveals the symbolism present in his patients 350 dreams.

I found the book challenging and at the same time extremely thought provoking, particularly in the context of the rapidly secularising English speaking world. I haven't read any Jung before coming to this book, so many of the concepts were new to me and I need to explore them further.

I am planning to do this through a couple of other books on my reading list - [b:Nine Theories of Religion|22638057|Nine Theories of Religion|Daniel L. Pals|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1410765246l/22638057._SY75_.jpg|42138028] and [b:Freud and Jung on Religion|338473|Freud and Jung on Religion|Michael F.

ACERCA DE LA PSICOLOGÍA DE LA RELIGIÓN OCCIDENTAL Y DE LA RELIGIÓN

La religión ocupa un lugar central en la obra de Jung quien, especialmente en los escritos de sus últimos años, prestó una atención especial al fenómeno religioso. El gran mérito de Jung estriba en haber sabido reconocer que las representaciones originarias que subyacen y son comunes a las distintas religiones constituyen contenidos arquetípicos del alma humana. La primera parte de este volumen reune escritos como "Psicología y religión" o "Respuesta a Job". En la segunda se recopilan sobre todo comentarios y prólogos a textos religiosos orientales como I Ching o el Bardo Todol.

This seven-hundred-page tome is volume eleven of Jung's Collected Works. I already own and have read many of its more substantial pieces in other editions. For example, I have the Bollingen series Answer to Job under its own cover, "Transformation Symbolism and the Mass" is in the Eranos Yearbook anthology The Mysteries, and I have recently read "Psychologists or the Clergy?" as part of Modern Man in Search of a Soul. In this review, I will confine myself to some comments on the objects of my recent reading in a copy borrowed from the library of Colorado Mountain College: the several essays concerned with Trinitarian doctrine and symbolism in Christianity.

Jung found various cross-cultural precedents for the Trinity. Most significantly, he focused on an ancient Egyptian notion grouping the Royal Father Osiris and the Royal Son Horus with the Ka-mutef, or “Bull of his Mother,” the third term being explained as “the procreative power of the deity.” He also pointed to the triune nature of the World Soul in Plato’s Timaeus, and to Plato’s Demiurge, created world, and World Soul as their own trinity. He mentioned the cultural continuity from Egypt to the Hellenistic world in which Christianity was incubated, but he saw the Christian Trinity not so much as derivative from these earlier examples but as a later, parallel expression of the same generic spiritual function. In Jung’s jargon, the Trinity is an archetype of the collective unconscious. His interest in it, he claims, is not metaphysical but psychological. He wants to understand why this idea should have gained such pre-eminence, and what its ongoing role in the mind of humanity is.

He observes the unreasonable and unnatural aspects of the Trinity as evidence of their grounding in the unconscious. He points to the systematic exclusion of the Mother or feminine element from both Egyptian and Christian expressions of the Trinity. Jung knew that in some early Christian theologies the Holy Spirit was feminized in the form of the Christ-counterpart Sophia. But he was also aware of the evanescence of that doctrine and the predominant concept of the Holy Ghost—like the Ka-mutef—as a “hypostasis of procreative power,” writing:

"The masculine father-son relationship is thus lifted out of the natural order … and translated to a sphere from which the feminine element is excluded. … Father-son-life … constitute the patriarchal formula that was ‘in the air’ long before the advent of Christianity." (par. 197-198)

Despite the Trinity’s archetypal status, Jung takes it to be incomplete, excluding not only the maternal but the material of the world. It is also impaired in its Christian recension by a moral one-sidedness. He discusses approaches to completing a “quaternity” with a fourth term personifying the unconscious operation of the psyche. Where he stresses the moral limits of the Trinity, Jung identifies this fourth term with Satan or the psychological shadow. But if we allow the Trinity itself to be beyond good and evil, then the fourth term is certainly the feminine complement of the Trinity, the anima as presented in Jung’s system. And he claims:

"Medieval iconology, embroidering on the old speculations about the Theotokos, evolved a quaternity symbol in its representations of the coronation of the Virgin and surreptitiously put it in place of the Trinity." (par. 251)

An example of such representations serves as a frontispiece to Jung’s book: Jean Fouquet’s painting of The Trinity with the Virgin Mary from a medieval Book of Hours. The imputation of agency to "iconology" in this case does not reflect official church doctrines or underground teachings, but rather an exercise of the collective unconscious in the course of conventional expressions. As Barbara Newman has shown in her study God and the Goddesses, these representations were in no way heterdox for their period.

Although the clearest theoretical articulation of these ideas is in the second set of lectures "A Psychological Approach to the Dogma of the Trinity," the first set, titled simply "Psychology and Religion," touches on them often, in the context of an account of therapeutic practice involving the dreams of a psychiatric client, showing the relevance of the "archetype" to those who are neither theologians nor mystics.

il contenuto
Nella prospettiva di Jung i dati religiosi vanno considerati come la manifestazione storica infinitamente varia di un autonomo livello di realtà, autonomo in quanto, pur rivelandosi attraverso la vita, esso non è il frutto della sublimazione di una realtà biologica, come Freud pretendeva. ma è parte costitutiva e irriducibile della condizione umana. I dati religiosi vanno perciò compresi come la formulazione psicologica di esperienze interiori che hanno sempre, all'origine, i caratteri della rivelazione individuale. anche se subiscono poi il travaglio secolare dei tentativi di rielaborazione culturale tendenti a renderle assimilabili ai più; e che possono sempre riemergere nei materiali onirici o visionari individuali, in quanto essi hanno radice nel fondo archetipico comune. Psicologia e religione (1938/ 1940). il Saggio d'interpretazione psicologica del dogma della Trinità (1942/1948), Il simbolo della trasformazione nella messa (1942/1954) e gli altri scritti sulla religione in Occidente sono costruiti in questa prospettiva, che l'immensa dottrina di Jung sostanzia e conferma. A questi saggi seguono quelli da Jung dedicati alla religione in Oriente: i commenti psicologici al Libro tibetano della grande liberazione (1954) e al Libro tibetano dei morti (193511953), la Prefazione alla "Introduzione al buddhismo zen" di D. T. Suzuki (1939). Psicologia della meditazione orientale (1943), e così via. Essi mostrano magistralmente come i diversi metodi orientali d'introversione favoriscano il suddetto carattere individuale dell'esperienza religiosa; sottolineando tuttavia nel contempo l'estraneità di Jung, terapeuta impregnato del mito cristico della redenzione, alle tentazioni di fuga dal mondo presenti in così larghi strati della religiosità orientale.
