>>12710322Jung's idea is that at the beginning of time, People were unconscious, and that consciousness had emerged with all of their catastrophes, consciousness of death for example. And, one way out of the burden of consciousness is to return to unconsciousness, you can do that with alcohol, you can do that by being dependant ,you can do that by failing to grow up. You refuse the burden of consciousness by becoming unconscious again. But there is another way which is to become even more conscious. So the idea is that a little bit of consciousnesses like an illness, but if you can expand that consciousness big enough it becomes something that is its own cure, and partly what your goal is as you suffer through life, is to heighten your consciousness to a point where everything becomes integrated enough so that that’s proper medication for the disease of self-consciousness. And Jung believed that that was the really one ideas that ran through judeo-christianty, although not limited to Judeo-Christianity
What is happening is that the vast majority of people are choosing unconsciousness, to choose the bottle, drugs, porn. It doesn't matter that the world's knowledge is at their fingertips, they've chosen unconsciousness.
