this is one of my favorite books modern
man in search of a soul by Carl Jung
I am going to read a small part of it
psychological interest of the present
time shows that man expects something
from the psychic life which he has not
received from the outer world something
which our religions doubtless up to
contain but no longer do contain
at least for the modern man the various
forms of religion no longer appeared to
the modern man to come from within to be
expressions of his own psychic life for
him there are to be classed with the
things of the outer world is vouchsafed
no revelation of a spirit that is not
of this world but he tries on a number
of religions and convictions as if they
were Sunday attire only to lay them
aside again like worn-out clothes
