Tattva-viveka

the trap of rationality according to Jung

Vivek - February 26, 2007 4:41 am

Modern man does not understand how much his

"rationalism" . . . has put him at the mercy of the

psychic "underworld." He has freed himself from

"superstition" (or so he believes), but in the process

he has lost his spiritual values to a positively

dangerous degree. His moral and spiritual tradition

has disintegrated, and he is now paying the price for

this breakup in worldwide disorientation and

dissociation.

 

- Carl Jung
