Conspiracies of immanence
Jung's psychology proffers a sustained reflection on the traditional religious question of the relation of divine transcendence to immanence. On this issue his psychology affirms a position of radical immanence in its contention that the experience of divinity is initially wholly from within. Though this position remains on the periphery of religious and theological orthodoxy Jung is not alone in holding it among moderns. Paul Tillich adopts a si…
Jung and his Mystics
Jung's equation of the ground of being with the ground of psyche
The paper amplifies Jung's psychology of ground associated with the culmination of the alchemical process in the unus mundus. It argues that Jung and Dorn identify the experience of the ground with the experience of divinity as the common originary source of individual and totality. It notes the monistic and pantheistic implications of the experience and goes on to amplify the experience through Eckhart's mediaeval mysticism of ground and Paul Ti…
Homosexual Marriage, the Vatican, and Elements of a Jungian Response
This paper argues that the attitude of the Vatican toward homosexual marriage is based on its negative attitude toward homosexuality. It lays out the substance of four Vatican pronouncements on homosexuality and love. Three of the documents describe homosexuality as a “disorder” in inclination and an “evil” in enactment. One forbids entrance to the seminary and ordination to the priesthood to those with a homosexual orientation. The paper also pr…

The Jung‐White dialogue and why it couldn't work and won't go away
White's Thomism and its Aristotelian foundation were at the heart of his differences with Jung over the fifteen years of their dialogue. The paper examines the precedents and consequences of the imposition of Thomism on the Catholic Church in 1879 in order to clarify the presuppositions White carried into his dialogue with Jung. It then selects two of Jung's major letters to White to show how their dialogue influenced Jung's later substantial wor…
Toward a salvageable Tillich
In occasional addresses late in his life Paul Tillich confesses to a lingering provincialism in his theology during the same period in which he was completing the third volume of his systematic theology where many of these same provincialisms appear. The article identifies such provincialisms in his ecclesiology, missiology, christology, history of religion and eschatology. The article then argues that his final position, embodied in his understa…
Jung, mysticism and a myth in the making
A Jungian hermeneutic is helpful in the interpretation of shifts in contemporary religion and spirituality. Jung's thought on the psychogenesis of religious experience locates its origin in the unconscious and understands the history of revelation as that of compensation proffered to collective consciousness in the interests of its balance and totality. Jung perceives the unconscious to be currently engaged in the creation of a new myth or revela…

Issues of naturalism and supranaturalism in Tillich's correlation of religious with psychological healing
This article shows that Tillich's understanding of the relation of religious to psychological healing rests on the theological anthropology which informs his method of correlation and his understanding of the relation of essence to existence. Through these categories Tillich understands religious healing as essentialization and psychological healing as removing pathological responses to ontologically inescapable existential anxiety. The article s…
Jacob Boehme and Paul Tillich on Trinity and God
Paul Tillich borrows central motifs in his trinitarian theology from Jacob Boehme, the seventeenth-century German mystic. Tillich draws a picture of divine life as embroiled in a conflict of opposites between the abyss and the light of the Logos . Boehme also depicted divine life as engaged in inner turmoil. But, unlike Tillich, Boehme's experience and imagery suggest that the eternal divine self-contradiction could only be solved in human consci…
The Religious Significance of Jung's Psychology
Endemic to Jung's understanding of the psyche is an elaborate theory of the universal psychogenesis of religion. This theory, coextensive with his psychology itself, would contend that the ground movement of the psyche is one in which the unconscious and its archetypal energies seek realization in consciousness. These energies carry with them a numinous power that, when experienced, creates the sense of the divine and so the religions. The proces…
Response to Bock and Coward
Jung's thought does, indeed, contain a metaphysics, even though he claimed he was an empiricist. He would argue that God necessarily creates the psyche in order to become conscious in it. But all reality is, thereby, psychic and thus, incompatible with monotheism. Jung moves from a trinitarian to a quaternitarian position because he felt that traditional dogma missed the bodily, the demonic, and the feminine. He felt that conventional religion mi…
The Religious Implications of Jung's Psychology
The implications of C. G. Jung's critique of the symbol of trinity
Les travaux de Jung sur la Trinite concernent essentiellement les annees 1940-48. Il y introduit l'idee selon laquelle l'inconscient collectif appelle une mythologie qui se represente une divinite quaternaire plutot que trinitaire. Au coeur de cette redistribution, il y la reconnaissance d'une divinite naturelle de l'humanite comme possibilite psychique residuelle. Dans la conclusion de son essai de psychologie religieuse, Jung affirme que l'huma…
