- This is the first part of Jung's "Answer to Job".
"Jung has never pursued the "psychology of religion" apart from general psychology. The unique importance of his work lies rather in his discovery and treatment of religious, or potentially religious, factors in his investigation into the unconscious as a whole and in his general therapeutic practice. In Answer to Job, first published in Zurich in 1952, Jung employs the familiar language of theological discourse. Such terms as "God," "wisdom," and "evil" are the touchstones of his argument. And yet, Answer to Job, perhaps Jung's most controversial work, is not an essay in theology as much as it is an examination of the symbolic role that theological concepts play in a person's psychic life."
*Note: Privatio Boni means "privation of good". It refers to the idea that evil doesn't exist as such, but only as a lack of some good that ought to be there. Similar to how the hole in a wall does not exist as such, but only as a lack of that part of the wall. This, Jung says, is contrary to the psychological reality of evil.
Carl Jung’s need to take the gnostic message and use it to analyze the Old Testament to see for himself is quite phenomenal and demonstrative of his searching for the highest of truths and ability to see things clearly even through massive social confusion .
Thank you so much for this. It is very needed in our age. The words of the existentialists are lost at our peril.
excellent reading voice and selection....thank-you very much....i had a stroke and have damaged eyesight and lost my trade...going through my own Job experience right now....hoping this will help....
peace dh
@@doughamel150 sorry to hear you’re going through that, wishing you well, take care
Thank you so much. You are easy to listen to, and read at a pace that makes your reading very understandable. Thank you.
I have to agree with Stephen, thank you man, appreciate it. Please do more when you're ready.
Wow thanks, I have looked for this everywhere
Thank you so much for this!
The ads are just too much. It's every five minutes. Much appreciated but hard to enjoy.
That’s unfortunate, sorry about that! Do you know what I can do to remove ads?

Dude… nice job with the reading skills. You’ve got a lot of good compliments but I imagine most people don’t realize how difficult it is to read out loud so well
I appreciate that! I realized that reading it out loud helped me understand his thoughts far better than reading it in my head, something about trying to make his words my own...but yes, he's a dense writer and I had to edit this and re-read sections more than I want to admit!
Does anyone have reference for Clement’s quote about “God rules the world with left and right hands”?
The mono tone of narrator is excrutiatingly difficult to endure but ill try.
Some very strange ideas, some very insightful.
Great Read Thank you so Much!
Thank you for this work sir.
Holy crap! Just scrolled through your other videos and apparently I stumbled across a goldmine. Lookin forward to more listens. This is a particularly profound essay from Jung (although what has he done that’s not profound?)
Thanks for the kind words!
To answer your last question, I think it's the mustache, but I agree with everything else.

Great channel man.
The laws of god are best described by Newton. Disobedience is impossible where the will of god is at play. (Hey, it's a whiskey night.What d'ya want...)
Thank you
Thank you.
Kay Gee Jung, lord have mercy
I loved this essay.
Because I believe that Christianity is really a Greek Jewish syncretism. I think the parallel to Job is Oedipus Rex. Sophocles writes the ultimate tragedy of not being able to escape one’s fate. And the basic Freudian theme of killing the father and marrying the mother is both in Oedipus and in the Christ story, that is if an ancient person chose to believe that Jesus was literally God the Oedipal conflict was very real and also magically resolved.
So my hypothesis is the Jews who became Christian had a collective inferiority complex, Messiah complex and father complex.
And the Greeks who became Christian had a collective inferiority complex, Oedipal complex and mother complex.
The syncretism of Christianity resolves both complexes.
Fascinating insights, wow.
Fascinating.
Great take on it
Thank you to our forefather JOB. WHO UPHOLD 1ST. LOVE GOD 2ND. LOVE THY NEIGHBORS AS THYSELF TRULY WITHOUT CEASING BUT DELIGHT. Followers of YESHUA Jesus christ. According to God's TRUE WILL. Truly delight without ceasing
the tests are evolutionary. as with abraham, job is commanded to leap. he is commanded into the absolute and utmost faith which comes with a kind of hypermoral transgression - or one that is, in all senses, a breach of any sort of a priori established code of conduct or 'righteous life'; in doing so, job and abraham grow in ways and sight in the experience of the living depth of god as teachers, shepherds; experiencers of such depths of life so that it is their lived truth of that experience that is recorded and exemplary of the capacity of man to undergo great and substantial trials and to survive such trials as living embodiments of the faith; that they live these trials with the eyes of god so that god might know of them for himself; that in these agonies and ecstasies they are immanently united with god in such a way as that very few other men would dare undergo or undertake such trials. it is their strength that avails them of these experiences - which is to say they undergo them because they are able to bear their weight. you might say that the tests are 'initiary', in that they bring these men ever more and ever deeper into the kingdom of god as in a breadth and depth of living - and in that they are evolutionary is that they strip or burn away the dross of the moral, social, and biological 'qualms' these men might have had prior to living a truer and deeper life as in being on the cross of spirit and flesh immanently. they are stripped away of the conceptual reality, and availed not only a glimpse but a lived experience of the agonies and the ecstasies of living. this, of course, is the gift bestowed upon man; all men who are ready and willing to give themselves and their 'reason' up entirely for a true, living, embodied vision of the lord as a life which 'overtakes' them, or a life which becomes them in the death and resurrection of 'themselves' as entirely renewed by these transformative, hadic experiences of god's might. it is in this sense that abraham and job are simultaneously the strongest and most courageous of us, and the meekest of us - in that their strength is this and only this: the submission to god's will alone.
beautiful writing. thanks for sharing! curious about what you think about common Christians talks about submitting to Gods will but does not really reach the depth of suffering that Job and Abraham have? there certainly are people who forego reason to chase after their destiny (celebrities let's say) They become an inspiration for daring to do that alone but to me, there's a quantitative and qualitative difference to that (unless the celeb themselves have undergone tumultuous journey to get where they are or suffer great loss and bounce back, examples are many tbh) Most enlightened individuals are unassuming at least according to seekers I followed throughout the years. There's a complex combination of child-like innocence and a seasoned warrior. No one would expect their accomplishments unlike most celebs who have been different/popular from the get go. Maybe this is the main difference? Most celebs are there for self-aggrandizement which is relatable to many. Enlightened people aim to be self-realized which is only possible for those who dare greatly which will only resonate to few.
Too many ads.
