(Jul. 14, 2023) — In “The Spiritist Fallacy,” a penetrating analysis of Luciferian Theosophy, Spiritism, and by extension, the New Age Spirituality overtaking and replacing Christianity throughout Western civilization, the respected French traditionalist metaphysician Rene Guenon explained how the theories of William James (1842-1910), the father of American psychology, are examples of unconscious Satanism. Guenon gives two reasons.
First, James’ theory of ‘religious experience’ as a manifestation of the subconscious by which man communicates with the Divine ‘within’ is only one step away from “condoning the practices of spiritism” (contact with spirits) with the further consequence of conferring on evil spirits an “eminently religious character.
Second, the notion that the subconscious puts man in contact with the Divine Substance ‘within’ puts God,
“…in the inferior states of being, in feris in the literal sense of this expression. This then is a properly ‘infernal’ doctrine, a reversal of universal order, which is precisely what we call ‘Satanism.’ (pp. 258-262)
Building off James satanically oriented theories, the renowned psychiatrist Carl Jung (1875-1961), a heavily demonized man, taught that the psyche (soul) consists of two main systems: a personal unconscious and a deeper more significant layer which he called the collective unconscious. The collective unconscious Jung identified as archetypes. Archetypes were innate, unconscious, and universal, said Jung.
Jung’s system incorporates Darwin’s materialist theory of evolution together with spiritual conceptions of evolution, reincarnation, Gnostic conceptions of the Divine One Substance, ancient Egyptian Hermetic magic, and various other occult doctrines and psycho-spiritual technologies from around the world.
Jung delved deeply into the occult. He practiced necromancy and had daily contact with familiar spirits which he called archetypes because he believed they were manifestations of powers innate within his collective unconscious.
Most of Jung’s psychological insight was acquired from his familiar spirits, particularly Philemon and Basilides.
Philemon (a fallen angel) appeared to Jung in a humanoid body with wings and the head of a horned bull. At first Jung thought his spirit familiars were manifestations of his own psyche, but toward the end of his life he realized with horror that Philemon, Basilides and the many other spirit entities that were a common feature of his life were in fact highly intelligent hostile beings independent of human consciousness.
Speaking of Philemon, Jung said:
“Philemon represented a force which was not myself…I held conversations with him, and he said things which I had not consciously thought. For I observed clearly that it was he who spoke, not I…Psychologically, Philemon represented superior insight. He was a mysterious figure to me. At times he seemed to me quite real, as if he were a living personality. I went walking up and down the garden with him, and to me he was what the Indians call a guru.” (Memories, Dreams, Reflections, Carl Jung, p. 183, PsychoHeresy: C.G. Jung’s Legacy to the Church, PsychoHeresy Awareness Ministries)
Jung uses the name Abraxas to describe the impersonal Gnostic pleroma (i.e., Divine One Substance, World Spirit, Brahman, Void) out of which mind and then other mental powers supposedly evolved. The word Abraxas is found in esoteric Gnostic texts such as the Holy Book of the Great Invisible Spirit and in the Greek Magical Papyri.
The Great Work
In 1916 Jung received revelations from his demon familiars during the automatic writing (when an evil spirit uses a human hand to write) of a Gnostic treatise called The Seven Sermons to the Dead. This text describes Abraxas as a god higher than the living, personal Holy Triune God and combines all opposites into one ‘being,’
In occult tradition, the combining of all opposites is the Great Work. The Great Work is acknowledged by occult traditions all over the world, both ancient and modern. The demonically revealed Seven Sermons to the Dead is the text that has been labeled a core text in depth psychology.
