JESUS - JOHN'S GOSPEL

John's Gospel

1:1-5 - The light still shines in the darkness.

1:9-13 - The light gave people the power to become sons of God.

...

3:1-2 - One night Nicodemus, a leading Jew and a Pharisee, came to see Jesus.

"Master," he began, "we realise that you are a teacher who has come from God. Obviously no one could show the signs that you show unless God were with him."

3:3 - "Believe me," returned Jesus, "a man cannot even see the kingdom of God without being born again."

3:5-8 - "I assure you," said Jesus, "that unless a man is born from water and from spirit he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

"Flesh gives birth to flesh and spirit gives birth to spirit: you must not be surprised that I told you that all of you must be born again.

"The wind blows where it likes, you can hear the sound of it but you have no idea where it comes from and where it goes. Nor can you tell how a man is born by the wind of the Spirit."



3:9 - "How on earth can things like this happen?" replied Nicodemus.

3:10-21 - "Light has entered the world and men have preferred darkness to light because their deeds are evil.

"Anybody who does wrong hates the light and keeps away from it, for fear his deeds may be exposed.

"But anybody who is living by the truth will come to the light to make it plain that all he has done has been done through God."

..

4:1-7 - Jesus meets a Samaritan woman.

4:8-9 - "Please give me a drink," Jesus said to her.

4:13-14 - Jesus said to her, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again.

"But whoever drinks the water I will give him will never be thirsty again.

"For my gift will become a spring in the man himself, welling up into eternal life."

4:21-24 - "Believe me," said Jesus, "the time is coming when worshipping the Father will not be a matter of 'on this hill-side' or 'in Jerusalem'.

"The time is coming, yes, and has already come, when true worshippers will worship in spirit and in reality.

"God is spirit, and those who worship him can only worship in spirit and in reality."

...

4:31 - The disciples were begging him, "Master, do eat something."

4:32 - To which Jesus replied, "I have food to eat that you know nothing about."

4:34-38 - Jesus said to them, "My food is doing the will of him who sent me and finishing the work he has given me."

5:19-29 - Jesus said, "I assure you that the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing."

"I solemnly assure you that the man who hears what I have to say and believes in the one who has sent me has eternal life."

5:30-37a - "By myself I can do nothing."

6:32-33 - Jesus said: "the bread of God which comes down from Heaven gives life to the world."

6:61-64a - Jesus said: "It is the Spirit which gives life. The flesh will not help you. The things which I have told you are spiritual and are life. But some of you will not believe me."

7:16-18 - Jesus said: "My teaching is not really mine but comes from the one who sent me.



8:2-5 - The scribes and Pharisees brought in to him a woman who had been caught in adultery. They made her stand in front, and then said to him, "Now, master, this woman has been caught in adultery, in the very act. According to the Law, Moses commanded us to stone such women to death. Now, what do you say about her?"

8:6-9a - Jesus said:  "Let the one among you who has never sinned throw the first stone at her."

8:9b-10 - Jesus was left alone, with the woman still standing where they had put her. So he stood up and said to her, "Where are they all - did no one condemn you?"

8:11 - And she said, "No one, sir."

"Neither do I condemn you," said Jesus to her. "Go home and do not sin again."

"Yin is negative, dark, and feminine; Yang positive, bright, and masculine."

8:31-32 - So Jesus said to some Jews, "Believe me when I tell you that every man who commits sin is a slave."

8:42-47 - "Your father is the devil, and what you are wanting to do is what your father longs to do. He always was a murderer, and has never dealt with the truth, since the truth will have nothing to do with him. Whenever he tells a lie, he speaks in character, for he is a liar and the father of lies."

8:58 - "I tell you in solemn truth," said Jesus, "before there was an Abraham, I AM!"



10:34-38 - Jesus said to some Jews: "Is it not written in your own Law 'I have said you are gods'?"

"The Father is in me and I am in the Father."

12:23-26 - Jesus said, "I tell you truly that unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains a single grain of wheat; but if it does, it brings a good harvest.

14:9-14 - Jesus said to his disciples: "Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me?

"The very words I say to you are not my own. It is the Father who lives in me who carries out his work through me. Do you believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me?"

...

14:15-20 - "I shall ask the Father to give you someone else to stand by you, to be with you always. I mean the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot accept, for it can neither see nor recognise that Spirit.

"But you recognise him, for he is with you now and will be in your hearts."

"You will realise that I am in my Father, that you are in me, and I am in you."

14:21 - "Every man who knows my commandments and obeys them is the man who really loves me, and every man who really loves me will himself be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and make myself known to him."

14:23-24 - "When a man loves me, he follows my teaching. Then my Father will love him, and we will come to that man and make our home within him."

14:24-26 - "The Holy Spirit will be your teacher and will bring to your minds all that I have said to you.



15:1-8 - "I am the real vine, my Father is the vine-dresser.

"He removes any of my branches which are not bearing fruit and he prunes every branch that does bear fruit to increase its yield.

"Now, you have already been pruned by my words. You must go on growing in me and I will grow in you.

"For just as the branch cannot bear any fruit unless it shares the life of the vine, so you can produce nothing unless you go on growing in me.

"I am the vine itself, you are the branches. It is the man who shares my life and whose life I share who proves fruitful.

"If you live your life in me, and my words live in your hearts, you can ask for whatever you like and it will come true for you."

15:9-15 - "Love each other as I have loved you."

CARL JUNG, SEX, THE DARK SIDE, JESUS

...

The Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung was the son of a Protestant pastor.

Carl Jung's mother spent a considerable amount of time in her bedroom, where she said that spirits visited her at night.[3]

Jung wrote:

"As a boy I was the victim of a sexual assault by a man I once worshipped." 

(cited in John Kerr's A Dangerous Method).

While married to Emma Rauschenbach, Carl Jung had a relationship with a Jewish girl called Sabina Spielrein, who was one of his patients.

Jung found that Spielrein's mental illness was triggered by the sexual arousal she felt as a child when she was spanked naked by her father.

Jung took to spanking Spielrein.

A Dangerous Method.

Emma and her husband Carl Jung, 1903.

In 1899, 17-year-old Emma Rauschenbach, one of Switzerland's wealthiest heiresses, fell in love with Carl Jung, 'a penniless doctor with a peasant background.'

Emma's father had syphilis.

After Carl married Emma, Carl had affairs with a number of women, including Toni Wolff.

Carl's sexual relationship with Wolff was tolerated by Emma.

Emma and her husband Carl Jung


Carl Jung and family 1917.

Carl Jung had a crush on Sigmund Freud.

Jung wrote to Freud as follows:

"My veneration for you has something of the character of a ‘religious' crush.

"Though it does not really bother me, I still feel it is disgusting and ridiculous because of its undeniable erotic undertone.

"This abominable feeling comes from the fact that as a boy I was the victim of a sexual assault by a man I once worshipped (as Jung now worshiped Freud)..."

Why Freud and Jung Broke Up: Part II | Psychology Today.

Jung fell out with Freud.

Professor William Todd Schultz writes:

"I find it uncontroversial to assert - just as Jung and Freud did themselves - that homosexual feelings played a role in derailing their collaboration...

 "'Unruly' homosexual feelings, as Freud put it, were at the core of the conflict.

Why Freud and Jung Broke Up: Part II | Psychology Today.

...

In 1913, at the age of thirty-eight, Jung experienced a horrible "confrontation with the unconscious".

He saw visions and heard voices.

He made notes. Jung began to transcribe his notes into a large red leather-bound book, on which he worked intermittently for sixteen years.[6]

Red Book

"The Red Book tells the story of Jung trying to face down his own demons as they emerged from the shadows... 

"In it, Jung travels the land of the dead, falls in love with a woman he later realizes is his sister, gets squeezed by a giant serpent and, in one terrifying moment, eats the liver of a little child... 

"At one point, even the devil criticizes Jung as hateful."

Anonymous comments:

Many people have lots of pain hidden away inside themselves.

Try not thinking about pink elephants for five minutes? 

Did it work?

Carl Jung spoke about accepting our dark side.

I used to be concerned that this meant to be equally dark and equally good, but not so.

When we accept our dark side we can forgive ourselves and then we can forgive others for their failings too.

When we accept our dark side we don't act out on it, we just understand, it and not hate ourselves so much because of it.

Then we find peace, and peace is bliss.


Carl Jung and family

According to Carl Jung: "We all must do what Christ did. We must make our experiment.

"We must make mistakes. We must live out our own version of life.

"And there will be error. If you avoid error you do not live."


The Psychotherapist & Self Acceptance.

According to the Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung, there is a 'dark side' to all our personalities.

Think of anger, greed, fear and lust.

This 'dark side', or 'shadow', is usually hidden within our 'subconscious'.

The 'dark side' or 'shadow' should not be seen as necessarily always 'evil'.

For example, there would be no marriages or children without there being a little 'lust'.

It is extreme or out-of-control lust that is evil.

If we get angry about injustice, that is no bad thing, so long as we remain rational and do not go berserk.

Essential Secrets of Psychotherapy: What is the "Shadow" by Stephen A. Diamond, Ph.D.



Jesus appears to have had his 'shadow'.

Jesus faced temptations in the desert.

He cursed the fig tree.

The Psychology of Jesus — Chapter 3 — David McKenna

Our rulers want us to be excessively angry, greedy, frightened and lustful.

However, there is also a 'good side' to all of us.

Fr. John A. Sanford, in his 1970 book The Kingdom Within, sees Jesus's instruction "love your enemies" as an attempt to help us deal with all the parts of the whole, the 'dark side' and the 'good side', without hurting anyone.

Professor Wallace Clift has looked at Jung's view of humanity as "a story of developing consciousness".

Clift sees this as being similar to Jesus's idea of the 'Holy Spirit' working to improve us.

Jung called the 'dark side' the 'Shadow' and he reckoned that it comes from our animal ancestors.

Jung wrote: ‘"The shadow is that hidden, repressed, for the most part inferior and guilt-laden personality whose ultimate ramifications reach back into the realm of our animal ancestors and so comprise the whole historical aspect of the unconscious."

When the 'dark side' emerges, for example in a War I or in a divorce, many people look for scapegoats.

We demonise our enemy.

There is a tendency to blame everything that goes wrong on Moslems or Jews or Blacks or Gays or Gypsies.

Most people deny their 'shadow', unconsciously 'projecting' it onto others so as to avoid confronting it in oneself.

Essential Secrets of Psychotherapy: What is the "Shadow" by Stephen A. Diamond, Ph.D.

Each of us should accept that we have a 'dark side' or 'shadow'.

The shadow is most dangerous when it is repressed and projected onto others.

When we will not acknowledge our dark side, we are at risk of becoming mentally ill and starting a war.

The 'saint' should acknowledge his or her 'dark side'.

Jekyll was saintly, but he hid and did not acknowledge his other side, Hyde, who was evil.

Jekyll's personality was split rather than whole.

Essential Secrets of Psychotherapy: What is the "Shadow" by Stephen A. Diamond, Ph.D.

When the CIA and its friends use their Monarch mind-control programme to brainwash children, they create in the children more than one personality.

One personality may the 'normal' personality and another may be the 'assassin' or sex slave'.

As mentioned above, the 'shadow' or 'dark side' contains some positive qualities.

Fear can be useful, if it keeps us safe.

Jung believed that most of us have lost touch with certain parts of our selves.

Jung believed that we should not try to be 'normal' because that means suppressing our real self, including the 'shadow'.

The healing of the disturbed person comes when they stop trying to be 'normal' and conformist.

We need to accept our 'shadow' and see that it involves some normal instincts and creative impulses.

Encyclopedia of Psychology and Religion (Springer Verlag, 2009) / Anger, Madness, and the Daimonic: The Psychological Genesis of Violence, Evil, and Creativity (SUNY Press, 1996) / Meeting the Shadow: The Hidden Power of the Dark Side of Human Nature (Tarcher/Putnam, 1991) - all by Stephen A. Diamond,

To be a good Christian you have to be fully aware of the 'shadow'.

Jesus asked us to consider our own faults, before we look at the faults of others.

Jesus had dinner with tax collectors and sinners.

Jesus had his difficult moments.

"And if anyone will not receive you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet as you leave the house or town. Truly, I say to you, it shall be more tolerable on the day of judgement for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah than for that town...

"But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!...woe to you, blind guides...You blind fools!...You blind men!...You serpents, you brood of vipers, how are you to escape being sentenced to hell?"

Jesus was not necessarily kind to pigs or Greeks.

"The moment the evil spirits were cast into the pigs, they rushed headlong from the steep bank onto the lake and were drowned."

"The woman was a Greek ... she begged Jesus to drive the demons out of her daughter. 'First let the children eat all they want,' he told her, 'for it is not right to take the children's bread and toss it to the dogs.'"

Rejection of Pascal's Wager: The Personality of Jesus

Jesus did not claim to be perfect.

Jesus said: "Why do you call me good? No one is good - except God alone."

Carl Jung said: "On the cross his mission deserted him.

"But because he had lived so fully and devotedly he won through to the Resurrection body...

"It seems to me to be the Holy Spirit’s task and charge to reconcile and reunite the opposites in the human individual through a special development of the human soul."

Richard Nixon, like all US presidents, appears to have had more than one 'self' or personality.

There is the 'noble Quaker' Nixon and the 'lying murderous' Nixon.

Carl Jung wrote about 'archetypes' or personalities.

"Jung believed that universal, mythic characters - archetypes - reside within the collective unconscious of people the world over.

"Archetypes represent fundamental human motifs of our experience as we evolved; consequentially, they evoke deep emotions."

The 12 Common Archetypes.

Jung called the dark side of a person the 'Shadow' archetype.

"People of all ages and cultures can relate to the archetypal Mother, Father, Lover, Hero, Magician, Fool, Devil, Savior, and Old Wise Man."

Message from the Tarot

From the Batman film.

The Obama regime, following the philosophy of Leo Strauss, makes use of archetypal characters, including Batman.

Leo Strauss was a fascist Jew.

Strauss believed that "an elite should use deception, religious fervor and perpetual war to control the credulous population."

Strauss "believed that the Nazi Martin Heidegger possessed the greatest mind of the 20th century."

Strauss believed that Machiavelli was a genius.

EXISTENTIALISM

...

The philosophy of Existentialism considers that:

Human beings are free to choose:

(1) to do right or wrong

(2) what to value

(3) how to live.


Existentialists consider that:

A. The world is not orderly or meaningful.

B. Human beings have no pre-existing or set nature or character. 

C. Some people may be born handicapped, or Black, or White.

But everyone is free to be a good or a bad person.

Soldiers are free to disobey orders.

D. Instead of getting our code of behaviour solely from dodgy ancient gods or texts, we should look inside ourselves.

E. Each individual has to work things out for himself/herself and then lead the appropriate life.

On Being An Existentialist

...

Søren Kierkegaard was the first Existentialist philosopher.

Kierkegaard came to believe that, by the 19th century, Christianity had deviated from its original meaning of 'mercy, humility and loving-kindness'.

Kierkegaard equates God with Love.[3]

Thus, when a person engages in the act of loving, he is achieving an aspect of the divine.

When an individual does not come to a full realization of his infinite side, he is said to be in despair.

"Kierkegaard was an unhappy, neurotic, and terribly suffering man."

Soren Kierkegaard.

...

Where did Kierkegaard perhaps go wrong?

Kierkegaard said that you feel anxiety because you see that you and you alone are responsible for your actions.

Kirkegaard often had doubts about God.

Imagine if Kierkegaard had tuned into 'something outside himself' and become a happy nurse or doctor.

Imagine if Kierkegaard had been less obsessed with himself.

...

Existentialists believe that when you're born, you have no meaning and no purpose.

Existentialists believe that there is no 'morality' in the world, other than the 'morality' that individuals create from inside themselves.

In other words, morality is not part of the fabric of the world.

Many Christians, Buddhists, Taoists and Humanists would argue that there are signs of ethical behaviour in the world of nature.

...

Friedrich Nietzsche was an existentialist.

He believed that life is 'will to power'.

This idea has appealed to some Nazis and Zionists.

Jean-Paul Sartre was an existentialist.

"Sartre believed that since there is no God to design man, man has no blueprint, no essence. 

"His essence or nature comes not from God as Creator but from his own free choice."

Sartre by Peter Kreeft.

...

Albert Camus did not consider himself to be an existentialist, although his ideas seem identical to those of the Existentialists.

Camus wrote The Stranger (L'Étranger,1942).

According to Camus:

"In a universe suddenly divested of illusions and lights, man feels an alien, a stranger.

"His exile is without remedy since he is deprived of the memory of a lost home or the hope of a promised land."

This is the problem with most Existentialists.

They generally reject such things as Reincarnation, the Holy Spirit, the Tao and all things Serendipity.

...

Some people believe that our minds co-create reality.

DEVOTION - GOD

Ros Barber's new novel Devotion is about God and para­llel universes.

Finlay Logan's daughter has died, in a parachute accident.

And Finlay Logan, who is a psychologist, is assessing the sanity of April Smith, a Christian fundamentalist who has blown up a bus.

Finlay says: "There is no fucking God. Because it simply wasn't possible that God the Father would smear your twenty-one-year-old daughter across a field in the Surrey Hills."



Finlay meets Gabrielle Salmon.

Gabrielle Salmon is a scientist who studies consciousness.

She claims that she can help people to connect to God, and thus find peace.

She has managed to reproduce Religious, Spiritual and Mystical Experiences (RSMEs). 

Author Ros Barber now presents two parallel universes for Finlay.

Finlay can choose.

We should note that the scientists now tell us that this is possible.


Schrodinger's cat.

Things are made out of tiny 'particles'.

According to the scientists, when you come a cross a 'particle' it does not have a 'fixed state' - until your mind decides what its 'fixed state' will be.

In other words, if you come across Mr Schrödinger's cat lying very still on the grass, the cat is neither dead nor alive - until your mind decides what its 'fixed state' will be.

Let us imagine that you have a very strong feeling that the cat will be alive and well next year.

Then the cat is currently not dead.

The future has affected the present.

Christians believe that things go better when you tune into the Holy Spirit.

The Taoists would call the Holy Spirit the Tao.

When you are tuned in, the cat is not dead.



Some Taoists and Christians and others believe that bliss can be achieved when:

1. You believe that, when tuned in, life works out for the best.

2. You are compassionate

3. You are moderate (Avoid extremes)

4. You are humble (The selfish ego is switched off)

5. Everything is in balance

6. Being tuned into the Holy Spirit or the Tao or whatever you want to call it, you go with the flow.

(You are not battling against the Holy Spirit or Tau)

7. You avoid the use of force; you avoid pitting your will against the universe.



Eventually the cat will die, but it will continue in the Spirit.
