Carl Jung

Carl Jung is one of the controversial figures in human history. Carl Jung lived for
a long time from 1875 to 1961. He changed the way we look at the human
pscyhe. He was a pioneer of the New Age Movement. Jung (who had illicit
affairs with other women being an adulterer against his wife of 52 years) said
that we are entering into the Age of Aquarius. He was a pioneer of dream
analysis, which is about interpretating human dreams. Some have criticized Jung
as a medicine man who utilized descredited scientific views on the human mind.
Others praise him. Carl G. Jung was a Swiss psychiatrist. His disciples called him
the "Hexenmeister of Zurich" or the Master sorcerer. Some have classified him as
a Christian or his father as a Lutheran pastor. This just isn't true, because Jung
admitted privately that he was a Gnostic. He even borrowed elements of his
thinking from ancient Gnosticism. Jung was a very intelligent man. He could
read Latin, Greek, German, English, and French. He was a medical doctor, an
universtiy professor, and an early disciple of the controversial Sigmund Freud.
Jung was the founder of his own school of psychology called Analytical
Psychology. Carl Jung expored dreams, myths, imagination, and the occult. He
“experienced precognition, clairvoyance, psychokinesis, and haunting” (Harper’s
Encyclopedia of Mystical and Paranormal Experience). His critics contend that he
regularly used New Age thought under the cover of psychological science. Soon,
Freud broke form Jung. Carl Jung experienced a six year breakdown afterwards.
Jung believed that archetypes (or figures from his fantasies) can improve
someone's conscious mind. Carl Jung believed that one archetypes (which he
called daemon or a demon) named Philemon would guide his as his "teacher."
These are Carl Jung's words about his "spirit guide" Philemon:

"...Philemon and other figures of my fantasies brought home to me the crucial

insight that there are things in the psyche which I do not produce, but which
produce themselves and have their own life. Philemon represented a force that
was not myself. In my fantasies I held conversations with him, and he said things
which I had not consciously thought. [?] Psychologically, Philemon represented
supeerior insight.” (The Automatic Writings of Jung by Philip Coppens)

Carl Jung even worked with his mother and 2 female cousins in hypnotically
induced seances. The Bible condemns spiritism and demon contact. Even the
Bible says that Satan can masquerade as an angel of light. It doesn't matter if a
so-called "spirit guide" expresses great intellect. If this being says something that
is baltantly contrary to the Scriptures, you ought to reject that "being." John gave
this warning: “Do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they
are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world” (I John
4). He has so much demon contact that Jung claimed to experience poltergeists in
his house. Jung wrote the Gnostic book of the Seven Sermons of the Dead (that
praised the false Gnostic god of Abraxas, which embodied both good and evil in
one). In Scripture believers are admonished, "give no regard to mediums and
familiar spirits; do not seek after them, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your
God" (Leviticus 19:31).

Carl Jung's embrace of the occult didn't end there. He promoted the embrace of
occult phenomena as apart of the exploration of the unconscious. He cointed the
scientific sounding word of synchronicity to describe it. Synchronicity can refer
to meaningful coincidences as well. He tried to legitimatize divination, the I
Ching, yoga, astrology, and all manner of psychic practices. This is strange for
a doctor to embrace such unscientific methods such as astrology. Even
automatic writing has been embraced by some scientists to explore the
unconscious. Carl Jung believed that the metaphysical occult world have certain
components that is found in all religions, therefore giving the human psyche
equal status to all religious views. Jung believed in visualization and in the inner
child (or that even an adult has a representation of a child that represents the
way he or she was treated as a child. Jung views it as an archetype. An archetype
is a mental image that are innate in human lives. They can have a life of their
own and influence religious experiences). Visualization deals with using mental
images and using the mind in esoteric methods (some want to do it for pain
control, psyhcotherapy, and other reasons). According to Carl Jung, there is an
impersonal "collective unconscious" or a type of library possessing all things ever
known. This is present in each person's unconscious. The “collective
unconscious” is pure myth. Richard Webster wisely observes that “the
Unconscious is not simply an occult entity for whose real existence there is no
palpable evidence. It is an illusion produced by language--a kind of intellectual
hallucination” (Richard Webster, Why Freud Was Wrong, p. 250, quoted from Ed
Hird). According to Don Matzat,

“Jung theorized that all humanity, past and present, were connected on an
unconscious plane. Therefore, deep within each individual was the collective
wisdom of the ages, including all religious, mythical content. ? Jung placed a
"scientific" footing under occult phenomenaa and mystical experience. Jung was
deeply involved in the occult and did his doctoral thesis on parapsychology. He
also was interested in Catholic mysticism and conducted seminars on the
teachings of Ignatius Loyola.” That's interesting since Loyola claimed that his
unbiblical trances gave him inspiration from God. Actually, God doesn't lead
people into trances. Either Loyola was hallucinating or demonic forces inspired
Loyola to create his Jesuit order. Hence, there is a Jesuit connection to Carl
Gustav Jung. Even the faulty lie detector test and the MBTI (or Meyers-Briggs
Type Indicator, which is a personality and psychological test to see what makes
people tick) are based on Jung's theories. Jung embrace pagan principles.

According to Elliot Miller, “The movement that Jung initiated is much closer in
nature to a neopagan (Aryan) cult than the scientific psychiatric discipline that it
has always claimed to be. It is not just religious but a religion.” (Book review “The
Jung Cult: Origins of a Charismatic Movement” By Elliot Miller Includes all
quotes by J. Budziszewski)

Fritz Springmeier in his "Be Wise as Serpents" book wrote interesting

information on Carl Jung:

"...Many of the modern educational ideas within such a school are not even be
realized by the general public as occultic. People get very defensive when one
explains that psychology, which is considered a science, is but based on the
occultic direction that Freud and Jung gave. Jung is openly recognized by
occultists like the Rosicrucians as having been an illumined mind.28 Freud
was a drug addict. Jung got his information from a "spirit guide." (What
Christian's call a demon.) Jung was into mandalas. Jung wrote a foreward to
the book The I Ching. Jung was into astrology. He wrote a commentary on The
Tibetan Book of the Dead. He says that "to it I owe not only many stimulating
ideas and discoveries but also many fundamental insights."29 This great
Jewish mystic Jung, an associate of Freud, gave us much of the foundation of
modern psychology. Leaders of the religion of psychology such as Maslow,
Rogers, and Fromm all took their "trip East" into occultism...Those who are
associated with the Theosophical Society, for instance, would be aware of Jung
occultic connections, because the Society's catolog of Quest books advertises
Jung and the Lost Gospels, Jungian Synchronicity in Astrological Signs and
Ages, and Gnostic Jung and the Seven Sermons of the Dead...."

One of Carl Jung's false views is that he wanted to merge good and evil or light
and darkness. The Bible of course condemns such actions. Jung's Gnostic
teachings include the view that self knowledge is more important than morality.
He viewed God as a quarternity not as a Trinity. He called this the Father, Son,
Holy Spirit, and Lucifer, which is blasphemy of course He viewed God as having
an evil demonic side. Carl Jung of course believed that all religious truth relates
to pyschological elements in human consciousness. In other words Christ,
Buddha, Shiva, etc are just examples of "savior archetypes" that are part of the
"collective unconscious." These archetypes in Jung's mind have equal religious
value. I learned of this view of Jung from high school. Religious relativism is
embrassing of this view and this is erreneously classified as "scientific" in many
circles. He taught that man has a divine Self that can be unveiled via self
knowledge. This thinking is exactly similar to Hinduism, the New Age
Movement, and Gnosticism. Transpersonal psychotherapies enbrace Jung's
view. Jung blasphemy Jesus Christ again. He taught the Jesus Christ only has
the power, because he was possessed by the Savior archetype (i.e. Jesus was a
man who was insane because he claimed to be God. This is related to the
Gnostic verson of Christ that seperates the person from the "Christ Spirit").
Jung's lies are infiltrating some Christian groups. The long apostate Fuller
Theological Seminary is offering a department of Psychology. In it they
promote the books of Carl Jung. Jung's influence is on Rick Warren's SHAPE
program that has been utilized by many churches (including institutions).
John Spong, Richard Foster, and others love his work. Carl Jung openly
doubted the Christian faith and he disrespected Jesus Christ (as not real and a
god of death). Why would Christians align with him anyway? They shouldn't.
Here's another quote on this subject:
J. Budziszewski, professor of Government and Philosophy at the University of
Texas, says this about Jungianism: "[It] is based on damnable lies about the
nature of good, evil, God, and the human soul. Yet these lies are being taught in
ostensibly Christian seminaries and promoted by ostensibly Christian
psychotherapists. I shuddered when I spoke to a Christian lady who said that her
minister had been teaching her to 'gain strength from her dark side.'

The reality is that we should be careful about false doctrines. Deceptions

are common and we should reject them completely. Carl Jung was a big
deception. He even believed that good shouldn't overcome evil, but good
should integrate with evil in order to achieve wholeness (He said that it is
possible for man to attain totality or become whole by using the spirit of
darkness. That's blasphemy of course). This is very erroneous. The Bible
even says that God will overcome all evil and a Christan will be victorious
over evil in following God's will. The apostle Paul forbids uniting with evil

"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath
righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with
darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that
believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols?
for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and
walk in [them]; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore
come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not
the unclean [thing]; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye
shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty..." We don't need to use
false archetypes praised either. Carl Jung is a Christ-hater and a demonically
deciever blasphemer. The truth is that man is sinful from the Fall of Adam.
Only God's son Jesus Christ is capable of giving man salvation.
