the heavens declare - Alice

Dear Alice...I reread some of your book, especially the explanation of the

hypothesis on p.143 and I don't think my paragraph (see below) conflicts

with it, would you agree? - Carol

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.
