Jung and Jesus

Carl Jung read the Gnostic gospels as encoded psychology: Jesus, he claimed, did not come to die for sins but to transmit a three-step technique for dissolving the “demiurge”—Jung’s symbol for the ego, persona and cultural scripts that keep us trapped in a false self and a false world.

1. Gnosis – a flash of direct, non-conceptual insight that the visible order is a projection.
2. Separation from the archons – conscious confrontation with the unconscious complexes (parental, religious, social) that pull the strings of our behavior.
3. Coniunctio oppositorum – the inner marriage of masculine logos and feminine eros that produces the Self, the psychic totality that transcends the demiurge’s dualistic game.

Because every person who completes the circuit weakens the collective spell, the method was hidden in mythic code: parables, symbols, initiation rituals.
Awakening is not metaphysical escape but lucid participation: the moment you recognise the prison is mental, the walls become permeable; the divine spark (the Self) is no longer a prisoner but a co-creator of reality.
