 What does Jung in psychology have to do in religion? Everything. You see, Jung has demonstrated that the religious function resides in the psyche and is an integral part of human psychology. And that just means that the ego, in order to be healthy, needs to have a living connection to a transpersonal center. There are two etymologies for the word religion. One etymology emphasizes that it means linking back. The idea then would be that the religious function links the ego back to its origin, to its background, to the larger entity that it came from. The other etymology of religion that Jung really preferred, actually, was that the word religio means the opposite of the root of the word neglect. So that religio means the careful consideration of the background of one's life. The opposite of neglecting the background of one's life. And Jung actually preferred that association, although he acknowledged the importance of the other one, which I think goes back to Augustine. But the point is that the human psyche has a religious function in both senses. A need to link back and a need to give careful consideration to the source of his being. And the religious process then is one in which the ego has a living, organic connection to a larger whole. And that, of course, is the function that the traditional religions have always served. They've done it by the collective structure and the dogmatic formulations and the whole concept of God and man's relation to God that they provide the believer. They've given the individual a religious container in which he has the sense of being connected to the larger whole. Now modern man, especially those, the creative minority of modern man, has lost that connection provided by the traditional religions because they're too concrete, they haven't kept pace with modern man's mental development. So they're not in tune with modern categories of understanding. So the great service that Jung has performed by his discovery of the collective unconscious and the archetypes and the self, he's penetrated to the psychological source and basis that underlies all the world religions. And thereby he's verified and redeemed for modern consciousness the validity and reality of the religious operations as they express themselves in all religions. That's been achieved and I don't think we can appreciate the magnitude of that achievement because what it means is that the psychological basis has been laid for the realization of a unified world. We've got the basis now for a unification of all the factual divisions among the world religions. And once that is achieved I think political unification is bound to follow. It's been accomplished. One man has done it. I wish I could communicate the fact that I see so clearly concerning Jung's discovery of the basis of all the world's religions. He's achieved by this discovery the psychological basis for the unification of the world. It's really a pitiful sight to see the world split up into these separate warring fragments of religious identifications, of nationalistic identifications, of ethnic identifications, all that were with one another. They're all operating out of the energies of connection with the same transpersonal image of wholeness. They are all operating out of their connection to deity, to the self, as it is consolated and perceived within their local context, religious or nationalistic context. It's the same psychic self. And what Jung has done has penetrated to that source. That's the paradoxical God that he talks about. He's seen it, and once he's seen it it can then no longer split up into these various ethnic and religious factions and fight against itself. One human being has seen the back of God, so to speak, so that means then that he's going to be eventually unified. And the world will be unified politically sooner or later as an inevitable consequence of that event of human consciousness.
