Jung And The Restless


 There are many influences (all bad) which have shaped the Vatican II sect. Twenty-three years ago, a friend of mine wanted me to accompany him to a Jesuit-run retreat house. I would only attend on the condition that it would be a private retreat, I would not participate in any Vatican II sect service or prayers, and he would join me in the traditional Rosary at least once in private. He had just come to belief in Christianity, and I was hoping to get him away from the Vatican II sect in which he was raised. He agreed to my terms. Upon arrival, the "nun" (dressed like a lesbian and standing for everything unholy), gave us information on the Enneagram and how it would be used in all prayers and services. We politely told her we were praying in private and had no interest. She looked at us askance, and walked away. The Enneagram is but one of many gnostic-inspired influences that has a prominent place in many Vatican II sect churches, retreat houses, and prayer groups. It came into vogue through the influence of Carl Jung; the infamous psychoanalyst.  I will examine Jung (pronounced "yung") and his role in the destruction that was Vatican II. (N.B. The Gnostic heretics believed that salvation is not through Christ and His One True Church, but through secret knowledge. They also acknowledge there are two "gods"--one who made the physical world, and the other good "god" who wants us to escape the material world. To find the truth you do not look for external revelation, but within yourself for the "spark of the divine." ---Introibo)

Who was Carl Jung? 

Carl Gustav Jung was a Swiss psychoanalyst (b. 1875) who abandoned the Lutheran sect of his parents for the occult. Jung’s entire life and work were motivated by his hatred of Catholicism, the Faith and Morals of which he considered to be the source of all the neuroses in the world.  Jung’s mentor was psychoanalyst Otto Gross (1877-1920). He was particularly drawn to Gross's ideas about the "life-enhancing value of eroticism" and his concept of "free love." Jung wrote with approval of Gross’s use of sex orgies to promote pagan spirituality, as he did when he wrote: "The existence of a phallic or orgiastic cult does not indicate eo ipso a particularly lascivious life any more than the ascetic symbolism of Christianity means an especially moral life." Jung, absorbed by eroticism and entranced by the occult, sought to provide a holy merger of the two, which is now popularly know as "Jungianism". In 1912, at the age of 37,  he declared that he could no longer be a Christian, and that only the "new" science of psychoanalysis—as he defined it through "Jungianism"—could offer personal and societal rebirth. 

 Many of the apostate clergy in the wake of Vatican II became disciples of Jung, and were eager to spread his errors. As a result, Jungianism has become a great money-maker in the Vatican II sect, by promoting books and seminars on such topics as "analysis of dreams," "archetypes," "Enneagram personality types," and "discovering the god within you." They despise the Rosary as "out of date." The traditional Mass is derided as "patriarchal" and "sexist." God, for Jungians, must be both male and female--incorporating the Eastern pagan notion of "ying and yang." The Mass is a "communal celebration" (sound familiar?) and the Real Presence in the Eucharist is denied since we all have "god within," a form of pantheism. According to Robert Noll's book, The Jung Cult, "...for literally tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of individuals in our culture, Jung and his ideas are the basis of a personal religion that either supplants their participation in traditional organized Judeo-Christian religion or accompanies it."  

The Enneagram and Deception
The Enneagram was developed indirectly from the Sufi religion (a mystical dimension in the darkness that is called Islam) and promotes "self-knowledge" through the use of traditional theological terms. You are to get in touch with your "true self" and let go of the "false self." This was Jung's goal for transforming religion away from God, and turning it inward to "the divine" in each individual. The Enneagram is a figure composed of three parts. There is an outer circle, an inner triangle and an irregular hexagonal figure containing nine points that touch the outer circle. Each part of it is connected to gnostic spirituality: the circle represents unity, the inner triangle "the law of three," and the hexagon "the law of seven." 

People using the Enneagram will hear Traditionalist Catholic terms, to which Jungians have given new meanings. By discovering your "personality type" (a number from one to nine) you can become "your true self." Here is some of the "Jungian-speak" you will hear; traditional words given new meanings in using the Enneagram.

Sin = personality traits that separate people from God or their true selves.

Original Sin = a person is never at any time in his life undamaged or free, but is always exposed to harmful forces

Prayer = delving into Nothingness to become "one" (pantheism)

Redemption = freedom from one's "false self " to one's "true self "

Faith = having doubts about yourself and overcoming them

Jung and the New "Mass"

According to Stephan A. Hoeller, The Gnosis of the Eucharist (See http://gnosis.org/gnosis_eucharist1.html), 

That great modern representative of the Gnosis, C.G. Jung, had a great interest in the Christian sacraments, particularly in the Mass...Jung emphasizes that those involved in the celebration of the Mass are ministering causes of the divine event. The priest does not cause the mystery; he is merely a minister of grace and power. The same is true of the congregation and of the seemingly inert substances of bread and wine. The Mass is not an action executed by humans, but by divinity.

In addition to the views of the mass discussed above, there is also the notion that this mystery is of the nature of a sacrifice. The sacrifice, in its Gnostic sense, involves the return of the alienated spark to its original flame. Neither philosophy, metaphysics, nor dogma can accomplish this longed-for union, for it is not a matter of concept but of experience. If we wish to join our shining twin in heaven by removing the dichotomy, we must do a work, an opus, as the alchemists of old would have called it. We must offer the bread and wine of our lesser nature to a power from above, so that this human self may be transformed into the likeness and indeed the substance of the wholly other, the alien God, the One beyond and above all the aeons, who in some utterly mysterious way is still our own, true, inmost Self. God in man returns to himself in the sacrificial mystery. (Emphasis mine)

And again:

The mysteries in the pre-Christian era were elaborately devised ritual dramas contrived to intensify the spiritual transformation of the initiate. They were usually patterned after the mythic life, death, and resurrection of a particular deity to whom the mystery was dedicated. The candidate was usually made to symbolically undergo certain events in the life story of the hero. This is still evident in the initiation rituals of Freemasonry, particularly in the sublime degree of Master Mason, where the candidate undergoes the death and rising again of the Masonic hero Hiram Abiff.

The pagans of antiquity were convinced that humans could undergo apotheosis, that they could become gods and goddesses. The Mass is closely connected with this process, since in its mysteries earthly substances are transmuted into divine ones, and, more important, humans may be similarly transformed in their psychospiritual natures. The ancient Gnostics for the most part seem to have held that Jesus was a human being who, very much like a hero in the pagan tradition, became divine as a result of his spiritual virtue. Jesus the hero became Christ the God. (This event is said to have been finalized, as it were, on the occasion of the baptism of Jesus in the river Jordan, which was called the Epiphany, or the manifestation of Christ to the world.) ---(Emphasis mine)

  Conclusion
Gone are the days of The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola. The Vatican II sect is brimming over with gnostic heresy--indeed, is not Modernism the "synthesis of all heresies" as Pope St. Pius X taught?

If you ever pick up books that purport to be "traditional" in spiritual exercises, but were published after 1964, please avoid anything that:

  • tells you to seek your "inner true self" or says "God is within you"
  • has disdain for the traditional Rosary and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament
  • wants you to interpret your dreams
  • uses the buzzwords and phrases "personal empowerment," "becoming authentic to yourself," and finding "healing and meaning" in your life

Vatican II retreat houses are full of the pagan teachings of Carl Jung derived from gnostics of old. Countless souls have lost their faith. My friend with whom I went on retreat was so confused and disenchanted with the garbage peddled in the Vatican II sect, he became a Protestant. I couldn't convince him it wasn't the Catholic Church but a new sect posing as the True Church. Another case of someone restless for God, and wanting bread, was given a stone instead. I pray for him and feel sorry for him. Jung's influence is even seen in the Novus Bogus, where everyone participates to "become divine." If "god" is in us, we don't need to have a tabernacle to face during Mass. It's about the people and their self-importance.  The psychoanalyst's name may be Jung; but the heresies he peddles are very evil and quite old.

    1. I have no idea what garbage takes place on a Vatican II sect retreat today. Traditionalists use it as a way to "retreat" from the cares of the world and concentrate on getting closer to God through the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola, attending Holy Mass, going to Confession, speaking to a priest for spiritual guidance, etc.

    2. Even though they are R&R types,Tradition in Action has covered modern retreat centers and it is borderline Occult Wiccan-esque from the photos and press releases.

  3. The best part of Monday is your posts.

    I thank God that He allowed me to always be confused and not understand so much of what I was taught in the Novus Bogus religion. When reading those buzzwords and phrases in your post, I had the same reaction as I did in Novus Bogus Land. It's dark, ugly, and confusing, and I praise God for helping me.

    When I lived in Atlanta, I was near the Ignatius House Jesuit Retreat Center. It was a creepy place. My friend went on a retreat there and came out goofy, like a LifeTeen kid.
    Now, in MN, the Jesuit Retreat House Demontreville is just through the woods from me. It's goofy, too. Totally, like, non-Denom friendly, and like, really, really spiritual.

    I thank God for His protection and for sending people like you to help me out of that mess.

    God bless you, Intoibo!

    2. If these cult leaders turn out "Lifeteens" (what a cringeworthy thought!) then what happens when these Lifeteen people GROW UP? The answer: complete apostasy.
      While my peers and I did not have the privelege of going to these kinds of "retreats", we were not spared the Antioch yoof movement that plagued parishes all over the place in the 80's and early 90's.
      When we were done being yoofs, and entered the 20's, all of us, without exception (myself included) promptly got up and just walked away from the whole thing. We left behind a completely distorted and disfugured understanding of "Catholicism" and knew that, what ever it was, we didn't need a bunch of sentimental, feel good, self esteem heap of crap to get us through life.
      By some special Grace, I, alone among my peers, returned, found the true Mass and began to learn how to be a Catholic.

    3. Mike,
      It's very tragic at the loss of souls from Vatican II. The "Life Teen" program is designed to turn "yoof" (I like it!) into New Agers of the coming One World Religious Sect, where indifferentism is the only dogma, and Traditionalists the only enemy.

      Thank God you were delivered from all that by a great Grace.

    4. Yes, thanks be to God.

      This is the great mystery.

      On the one hand, looking back, it seems "inevitable"(?) that I found my way back. I could not imagine permanently going down any other path.

      On the other hand, I was no different to all my apostate peers, who are now raising contracepted families and seeking forgiveness from the world for having once been Catholic (even though it was Novusordoism). I could have been just one more among many.

      May we co-operate with every Grace from Heaven henceforth until death, and awake in the presence of our Blessed Lord.

    5. Here in parishes in Brazil see many men with immature style and even effeminate. This is a result of these false spiritualities? Introibo last written against the Charismatic Movement?

      Delete
    6. False and evil beliefs can often bring about the worst in people. There's a saying, "What goes into a mind comes out in a life." I don't know specifically if Jungian ideas would cause men to become effeminate. If it did, it would make it that much worse. Avoid these teachings, my friend. Nothing less than your immortal soul is at stake!

      God Bless,

  4. Thanks for the post on psychoanalysts. I had my share of experiences with psychoanalysts having been referred to them by a young Novus Ordo Priest in the mid-80's when I tried to find the Roman Catholic Church of my youth (1950's and 60's). I knew it wasn't the Church I grew up in and couldn't understand what had happened. I would go to church after church and confession after confession and got no help looking for the Church of my youth. I would talk to young Priests and they would just refer me to a "therapist". I was trying to flee from the New Age Movement which I got involved in and found it was in the Novus Ordo Church. I couldn't tell the Novus Ordo Church from the New Age Movement!! I really felt I was doomed. After all these were Priests and Therapists with degrees and I had no college so they must know more than me. I quit going to the Novus Ordo years ago, and just figured I was doomed. That was is the mid-90's. It wasn't until 2 yrs ago at lent that I found the True Roman Catholic Church of my youth. I found a validly ordained Priest, went to confession and finally received a real absolution. I found out that the reason I didn't receive any help from the confessions in the Novus Ordo was because the Priests were not validly ordained. They are bogus which I learned the hard way! A Novus Ordo Priest told me to "go sit in the pew and let God love you" for a penance. A therapist told me that "you choose this life from a previous life so you have chosen every bad thing that has happened to you". Confusion abounds in the Novus Ordo.

    1. Indeed, Joann, V2 sect "priests" are little more than glorified social workers! "Let God love you" for "penance"---if it wasn't so sad, it would be funny.

      Anything goes in the Vatican 2 sect ---EXCEPT the TRUTH!!

      Glad God led you home!

  5. A priest once told me that, for all the bizzarre things Jung concluded, one interesting thing did not escape his notice.
    In all his years, he had a very broad range of psycho clients in his clinic from all walks of life. Every imaginable demographic came to see him wanting help in their lives.

    He noted one exception: Practicing Catholics who went to regular confession.
    So even on a natural level, regular confession is the key to a sound mind, apart from the infinitely superior supernatural effects.

  8. I was wondering if you are familiar with the "12 Steps"? When I was in the Novus Ordo almost every N.O. Priest I came into contact with was spouting the 12 Steps and referring people to the 12 Step groups. Many Sundays the Priests would read the entire 12 Steps and give a homily on them. The 12 Steps are Protestant, occultic and Masonic in origin. They were originally devised for Alcoholics Anonymous as a way to have a "spiritual awakening" to quit drinking. Then they began to be incorporated into every addiction from Overeater's Anonymous, Gambler's Anonymous, Narcotic Anonymous, etc. as a way to make contact with a "higher power". The "higher power" they allude to is "the god of your understanding" which can be any "higher power" of your choice. No mention of Jesus. (Even psychotherapists are big proponents of 12 Step programs and push them off onto patients). The 12 Steps were written by Bill W., co-founder of A.A., who claimed he wrote them in a matter of minutes under the guidance of "the spirit". It is claimed to be a "spiritual program", and on the surface it seems innocent enough as a support group to quit drinking, gambling, etc., but after you dig deeper it is nothing but demonic. Multitudes of people are being led down the wrong path with these demonic 12 Steps. (I try to warn as many people as I can about the 12 Steps because they are everywhere and people seeking support and friendship are easy prey to get involved with them. I also have relatives deeply involved in these programs).

    1. Yes, I am familiar with the 12 steps and I do agree with you, Joann. As a matter of fact, 20 years ago here in New York , the highest court in the State (The Court of Appeals) in the case "Matter of Griffin v. Coughlin, 88 N.Y.2d 674 (1996), ruled that AA was a religious program and the State could not force the atheist prisoner who sued to attend its meetings as a precondition to expanded family visitation time.

      While AA has had success, you can be successful in programs that are decidedly Christian and not Masonic in origin and philosophy.

  9. The enneagram was not a device used by Carl Jung. It was employed by a dude named Gurdjieff. The supposed link to sufism is more due Gurdjieff's claim it was linked to sufism than actual use of it by real sufis.

    The diagram has to do with Gurdjieff's doctrines of harmony and the rhythm of work, especially on your self.

    It's really bizarre and satanic stuff, but not Jungian per se. Perhaps the unwashed new agers are now conflating Gurdjieff and Jung now?

    1. Dear Mr Donovan,
      Thank you for your comment. You are correct that Jung did not create the Enneagram, he popularized it and incorporated it into his worldview as I stated in my post.

      Gurdjieff was a "mystic" involved in the occult. He borrowed heavily from Sufi influence in his creation. How much is his and how much is borrowed is disputed.

      Your basic contentions are correct, and it is indeed it is strange, Satanic, and part of Jungian/New Age practice!

      God Bless,

    2. To My Readers,

      According to the late conservative V2 writer Mr. Paul Likoudis (quoting the National Conference of "Catholic" "Bishops" so-called "Cautionary Note" regarding the Enneagram in 2000. To merely issue a word of caution against something so evil is mind boggling.):

      "An important factor contributing to confusion about Christian teaching in books on the enneagram is the fact that beginning with Gurdjieff and Ichazo what enneagram proponents have taught has always been a syncretistic mixture of elements from various sources, mostly types of esoteric knowledge, such as Sufi mysticism, the Kabbalah, and astrology, though more recently it has also been correlated with the psychology of Jung, Freud, and others. Thus when contemporary enneagram teachers attempt to relate the enneagram to Christianity and Christian ideas are added to the mixture, a clear sense of the fundamental priority of Christian beliefs is easily lost."

      This explains how Jungians put their Gnostic ideals into Catholicism; the Enneagram being but one example. Note well how the "bishops" write about "the fundamental priority of Christian beliefs." The word "Catholic" is unecumenical, and their beliefs merely "take priority" over occult beliefs that are not condemned outright.
      The disciples of Jung have indeed incorporated this gnostic Enneagram into their teaching.

    3. A final word to my readers:
      I wish to clarify that Mr.Donovan is correct that Jung himself never used the Enneagram. His theories correspond so well, HIS DISCIPLES popularized and incorporated it into his already highly gnostic worldview.
