Guest guest Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 Hi everyone...hope you had a good holiday. I'm writing an article for a magazine, a paragraph from which I include below. As far as I can tell this agrees with what Jung wrote; have I understood him correctly? A friend of mine thought Jung didn't really say this. Carol excerpt: What does it mean that god is dead? Why are so many people unfulfilled by the Church? The ancient Greeks would tell us it is because we live at a time of the transformation of god. The Greeks thought that every 2,000 years the god dies and is then reborn. Jung investigated this concept historically and psychologically. He found that indeed about every 2,000 years the god-image does seem to undergo a transformation. The birth of Christ was such an event. Now, 2,000 years have passed and again god wants evolve. Psychologically, god must evolve because the god-image represents our religious values and our value system that have become outworn and no longer suited for dealing with modern life.
