For centuries western philosophy of mind and metaphysics
spoke only to the conscious aspects of the self in its description and
analysis, which led to schools of philosophy and metaphysics that denied the
unconscious had existence because statements in words were not applicable and
adequate to describe it. In psychology today, extended forms of classical
behaviorism have taken the place of any attempt to analyze the unconscious
spectrum of self or unconscious spectrum of Self. The rule of the day is repress
the motion of shapes causing neurosis to further and further degrees by
demanding conditioning of the organism to proportionate levels of adaptive
behavior, workers for the rulers, the punishment-reward system. But with the
established cultural symbols of religion on the wane, and the archetypes of the
age in transformation, these psychologists, unconscious of these aspects of the
Self, have become the new high priests of culture in democracy's devolutionary
development into an ultra-fascistic socialist state. The state becomes god, and
substantiates itself through the dictates of the "high priests and
priestesses" who do not dare bite the hand that feeds them. These symptoms
occur when the established gods of the culture no longer function adequately.
Man needs god. Our age is in a transformation and/or metamorphosis of natural
symbols.
