    Carl Jung and The Importance of Pipe Smoking

    We have a pilgrimage to the Reich Museum planned, it's not too far. I know little of the guy or his work, been on the radar but haven't zoned in on it yet. The home of the Wilhelm Reich Museum in Rangeley, Maine - https://wilhelmreichmuseum.org/ Love Kate Bush and her killer quirky style, here's...

    Carl Jung and The Importance of Pipe Smoking

    How is Peterson faring with the Dunhills? A parody or same blend/exact replicas??

    Carl Jung and The Importance of Pipe Smoking

    If we can make it another thousand or so years, I think a lot of this stuff will become more clear. We're relative infants and have only scratched the surface of what's going on throughout this thing we call reality. Plenty to learn!

    Carl Jung and The Importance of Pipe Smoking

    All good! No apology necessary. Jung wasn't trying to replace Christianity but there was some banter about its potential to do so, I don't recall by whom. I didn't reference the Peterson vid above, which is a parody, I hear, and a good one, as I thought it was him! I've no beef with the guy...

    Carl Jung and The Importance of Pipe Smoking

    But, but...Disclosure...the USS Nimitz!?! I agree there is a lot of fashion driven pop psych passing for helpful today but I'd surely not throw Jung in that camp. No one who's read his work, knew of his life would either.

    Carl Jung and The Importance of Pipe Smoking

    I saw a couple of Peterson's recorded classes from before it all went to his head. He seemed a passionate, caring professor.

    Carl Jung and The Importance of Pipe Smoking

    Yep. There is the investigative, pure science, which I'm all for and then there is scientism--hubristic and corrupted. Amateur atheists are members of this belief based sect.

    Carl Jung and The Importance of Pipe Smoking

    Give me a while to work out the symbolism and its hidden meaning, I know it's here, I can feel it!

    Carl Jung and The Importance of Pipe Smoking

    I'd phonetically parsed it out as re-group, or the literal re-bind, which is not unlike Jung's alchemical notion of Individuation, a merging of opposites in the soul, the modern version of "I and the Father are one." Jesus did mention that "we" (yet to see this "we") will do greater works... I...

    Carl Jung and The Importance of Pipe Smoking

    I'm going to quote you from above because I think it's an important point, with all due respect: "But look at the totality of someone's work before judging an individual theory" I understand that Jung is not your guy, and you're not overly familiar but I trust if you read his work you'd find...

    Aww, c'mon man, if others are bored there is the whole of the interwebs, have at it. Further thoughts?

    Carl Jung and The Importance of Pipe Smoking

    I don't see it as arguing, we're discussing, want to argue about that??:) I'd like to see the quote as I'm sure he was not claiming to be possessed by a "demon" and if that is what is said in your reference, I gather it is a mistranslation. From the excerpt of his posthumously published MDR...

    Carl Jung and The Importance of Pipe Smoking

    Not arguing, just discussing. You may have chosen demon, but Jung chose daimon, which Philemon epitomized for him. If passing judgement, that distinction is important. Habakkuk-- Jung apparently named many "inanimate" objects, maybe he smoked like a fish while doing his most intense wrestling...

    Carl Jung and The Importance of Pipe Smoking

    Daimon, not demon, big difference: "Daimon or Daemon (Ancient Greek: δαίμων, "god", "godlike", "power", "fate") originally referred to a lesser deity or guiding spirit such as the daimons of ancient Greek religion and mythology and of later Hellenistic religion and philosophy. The word is...

    Carl Jung and The Importance of Pipe Smoking

    I don't think Jung missed the Mystery, he was conspiring with it to bring across the threshold what was in his capacity to deliver. Apparently there is a select few to whom Peterson is helpful and I leave it at that. If what he has to say floats one's boat, moves one forward in one's...

    Carl Jung and The Importance of Pipe Smoking

    Yes, Jung's Answer to Job addressed similar questions to the righteous rantings of Habakkuk IIRC, though it's been quite a while since reading it. Probably not a stretch to say Jung rejected the tenets of "corporate" Christianity but I reckon he'd get on swimmingly with the Christ. Kingsley...

    Carl Jung and The Importance of Pipe Smoking

    Been reading Kingsley's Catafalque: Carl Jung and the End of Humanity, great insightful read if you're interested in Jung and have an idea of his thought. It may sound bleak but it isn't. Came across this and thought it apropos for the clan here: And the footnotes: Habakkuk/Tobacco-- not too...
