Restoring the fullness of the human psyche within nature
Carl Jung's “Individuation” as
rebirth? Bringing the outside world in compliance with the inside
world is not enough, we need more. Group consciousness is the
rebirth we require, along with a divine goal within nature and within
human nature. Individual self-hood shaves off too much of human
nature, and nature.
Ethics were mainly created around the needs of
the group in survival and reproduction. Individuation takes place
within, and below, group consciousness. This is the balance that can
restore the fullness of the human psyche. Our best minds should be
concentrating on how to develop cooperative competition among natural
group differences, and not on quixotically (and sometimes forcefully)
trying to make everyone the same.
The cultural Marxism of modern
liberalism virtually ignored nature in the promotion of nurture,
which has been a disaster for the human psyche and for human society.
We need to acknowledge the biological origin of social behavior
without blocking out the influences of culture and nurture, the way
the cultural Marxists blocked out our biological nature.
And most importantly we need to
acknowledge the divine goal of nature and material life in evolving
to Godhood. At its base history is not “psycho-history,” history is
biological history. We civilize the beast through material and
supermaterial evolution, not by fearfully blocking out the beast.
