You're probably wondering why I've spent
the last 30 years studying the work of
Dr. C.G. Jung. He sums it up in the conclusion
of Answer to Job ¶746, at the
end of that paragraph he says referring
to man, "Since he has been granted an
almost godlike power, he can no longer
remain blind and unconscious he must
know something of God's nature of
metaphysical processes if he is to
understand himself and therefore achieve
knowledge of the Divine."
Now this paragraph begins as follows, The
only thing that really matters now is
whether man can climb up to a higher
moral level, to a higher plane of
consciousness, in order to be equal to
the superhuman powers which the Fallen
Angels have played into his hands. But he
can make no progress with himself unless
he becomes very much better acquainted
with his own nature. Unfortunately a
terrifying ignorant prevails in this
respect and an equally great aversion to
increasing the knowledge of his
intrinsic character. We can of course
hope for an undeserved Grace of God, who
hears our prayers, but God, who also does
not hear our prayers, wants to become man,
and for that purpose is chosen the
creaturely man filled with darkness, the
natural man who is tainted with original
sin and who learnt the divine arts and
sciences from the Fallen Angels. The
guilty man is eminently suitable, and is
therefore chosen to become the vessel
for the continuing incarnation. We now
know again that God is not only to be
loved but also to be feared. He fills us
with Evil as well as with Good, otherwise
he would not need to be feared and,
because he wants to become man, the
uniting of his antinomy must take place
in man. This involves man in a new
responsibility. He can no longer
wriggle out of it on the plea of his
littleness or nothingness for the dark
God has slipped the atom bomb and
chemical weapons into his hands and
given him the power to empty out the
apocalyptic vials of Wrath on his fellow
creatures. Since he has been granted an
almost godlike power he can no longer
remain blind and unconscious."
