“In order to free the Fiction of the Soviet State – in other words, the whims of those who manipulate it – from every wholesome restriction, all socio-political movements tending in this direction invariably try to cut the ground from under religions. For in order to turn the individual into a function of the State, his dependence on anything beside the State must be taken from him.”

Carl Jung in The Undiscovered Self.

In modern present culture many are unfamiliar with the depths of the interior makeup of the human person. Unfamiliar of such, they have little knowledge of their fullness in being and less of their innate interior wanting and the spiritual component of the human being. Jung opines that absent knowledge of their interior and hence their identity as a human being – they become the easy prey of the totalitarian state and the know-nothings who govern in force like crazed vultures primed to create an all intrusive state tilting to totalitarianism.

One can see in Jung’s genius America and others in the West today whereby know-nothings assend to power to join the ranks of those in government positions who survive by placating those rooted in “public service” as a life long easy-street with little heavy lifting and access to “easy money”and easily acquired notoriety.

Friends, this puts the life of our Federal Republic and those citizens therein in a grave position whereby we may well be deprived of our freedom, led by those who desire for themselves but power and money more than all else.

Serious times, people.

Shalom.
