Richard Noll's 2 books about C.G.Jung! The first is titled "The Jung Cult: Origins of a Charismatic Movement" a 400 page comprehensive reference work on the developmental history of Jungian thought which scans the European nineteenth century emergence of evolutionary, spiritualistic and paganistic philosophies which powerfully influenced Jung and his subsequent global following. This creates a detailed backdrop for Noll's second book "The Aryan Christ: The Secret Life of Carl Jung" which is the subject of our brief review.
The Aryan Christ is about 330 pages and deals with Jung's shamanistic and spiritist beliefs that he ingeniously interwove into a "science" called Analytical Psychology!? In this book it is comprehensively researched and unveiled that Jung was a medium in touch with the spirits of the underworld and that out of the encounters that he experienced he became the Aryan Christ!! He utilised the spiritualist's technique of self-induced trances to enter into the kingdom of the underworld where he met spirit guides and gods especially Mithras a lion-headed, snake-coiled super-being who instructed and revealed through various trances who Jung really was!!
Quoting from the book cover "..Carl Gustav Jung, along with Freud, stands as one of the two most famous and influential figures in psychology. His theories form the basis of an entire school of psychoanalysis and his ideas have long since permeated popular consciousness. It is to Jung that we owe the notion of a 'collective subconscious' and those stalwart figures of pop psychology, the extrovert and the introvert. It is to Jung, too, that we owe our understanding of archetypes and dream theory.."
"..In this compelling study, Richard Noll boldly argues that Jung's ideas actually derive from a rich brew of late 19th century occultism, neo-paganism and social Darwinism. Contemporary Jungians are perhaps unaware that their mentor was profoundly influenced by a Volkish movement in Germany and Switzerland at the turn of the century, a movement whose devotees danced naked around bonfires, worshipped the sun and studied runic texts, desperately trying to re-connect with their vision of a shared, pre-christian, Aryan past and, perhaps more tellingly, a movement which was to profoundly influence not only Jung, but also Hitler's National Socialism!!.."
"..In setting Jung in his true context and in vividly depicting his life and achievements, Noll reveals Jung to be a man utterly convinced of his own greatness, a man who split from Freud because he wanted to turn the fledgling science of analysis into a Dionysian religion with himself as its godhead, a man who in fact believed himself to be the Aryan Christ! Riveting, controversial and brilliantly researched, The Aryan Christ will, for the first time, reveal the full complexity of an extraordinary man whose influence is still felt today...".
Richard Noll has a PhD in Clinical Psychology and is a lecturer in the history of science at Harvard University . He is not a christian but has created 2 powerful reference books which comprehensively detail the occultic practices of Jungian Analytical Psychology. Here we see fully documented the huge deception that Jung fell into and out of which he created a "science" and a global religion!!
Another very enlightening book of the extensive long-term impact of Jungian Analytical Psychology and Shamanism is a book titled "The Scared Heritage: The Influence of Shamanism on Analytical Psychology"!! published in 1997 and edited by Donald F. Sander and Steven H Wong and is 270 pages. This a collection of presentations which were given at Woodspar Lodge, Winter Park , Colorado , USA .
These books show systematically how pervasively accepting by highly educated men and women, of occultism, witchcraft and spiritism! These Biblically forbidden evils have gained extensive prominence in our so-called scientific intelligentsia!!?? Psychology has many streams of thought running through it and many of these streams are contaminated by Jungian and/or Freudian conceptology!!!
