Death of Myth | Carl Jung | Edward F. Edinger

Описание: The loss of a central myth brings about a truly apocalyptic condition and this is the state of modern man.

The breakdown of a central myth is like the shattering of a vessel containing a precious essence; the fluid is spilt and drains away, soaked up by the surrounding undifferentiated matter. Meaning is lost.

In its place, primitive and regressive contents are reactivated. The individual is either consumed by the elemental motivations of power and pleasure or is exposed to the emptiness and despair of the soul.

In other words, with the loss of awareness of a transpersonal reality (God), the inner and outer anarchies of competing personal desires take over.
