WHILE ON THE SUBJECT OF JUNG

 


I agree, I concur, I get it, all of the above.  We always read these quotes on social media about how "it's not you, it's them," and how "it's not your fault, they are just projecting.," and so on and so forth, but that is not possible, not logical, or else no one is ever at fault, or else we would have to say that every event is a self-projected illusion when it comes to cause and effect. If someone slams the door in my face, I might assume I made them made or else I might assume it was for no reason. However, maybe it was because the door foes not stay closed unless you slam it, so you slammed it as I left the porch. Then we uncover a logical pragmatic reason that has little to do with the psyche or unconscoous or who projected what on who. 

If I think it's never me and it's always the Other projecting, then I am never wrong, never do anything wrong for any wrong reason, etc. I think we all know that towlrd does not work that way. Jungians talk about spirituality a lot. But seldom do I hear them talk about spirituality insiofar as how it manifests and works as its modus operandi on earth through material law. That they rarely even come close tio, unless discussing the effects of a planetary movement on a given day upon the general atmosphere or a given astrological sign. JUngians come close at times in partial fulfillment of the law when they speak of "psychoid." Certain physical laws exist and some laws sometimes are broken, but seldom is gravity broken except through a fork temporarily flying through the air via telekinesis, for what is perhaps here a silly example but the quickest coming to mind. 

So I think in irder to not project anymore you really have to live close to your own unconscious and own it. Years of examining it or else just being lucky and gifted that way can help. Dreams are another way of access, if you study them. The longer you study them, like say, perhaps all your life (!), the better you will come to seeing your unconscious and your self and your unconscious self and how it then surfaces to your own surface consciousness. Is that possible? Yes it is: Jung says so in the quote above, and Jung knew the unconscious as none other.  

It is easy to follow Jung and understand his quotes, but harder to follow his directions for the work, whether spoken or unspoken, and when unspoken, following the modus operandi of the worlds (material, psychic, and in-between psychoid, and the otherworlds and between those worlds) making up the unas mundas and then your own modus opoerandi which is half autonomous (imo, and so to sperak) and half your own construct over the years of its making by you. 

And speaking of autonomous, it is my theory that this is one (and only one) explanation of what we call autonomous beings in dreams. To understand this concept of autonomous figures in dreams further, see the research dissertation of Nancy Galindo, who taught Dreamwork in Jungian and Archetypal Studies program at Pacifica Graduate Institute. If I find a link online, I will post it. She shared it with a class I took with her.
