Carl Jung: Are We Sons of God?
God the Father and the Holy Spirit with a young Jesus, by Murillo, c. 1670.
Are we not sons of the G0ds? Why should G0ds not be our children? If my father the God should die, a God child should arise from my maternal heart. Since I love the G0d and do not want to leave him. Only he who loves the G0d can make him fall, and the God submits to his vanquisher and nestles in his hand and dies in
the heart of him who loves him and promises him birth.
My G0d, I love you as a mother loves the unborn whom she carries in
her heart. Grow in the egg of the East, nourish yourselfrom my love, drink
the juice of my life so that you will become a radiant G0d. We need your light,
oh child. Since we go in darkness, light up our paths. May your light shine
before us, may your fire warm the coldness of our life. We do not need your
power but life.
What does power avail us? We do not want to rule. We want to live, we want light and warmth, and hence we need yours. Just as the greening earth and every living body needs the sun, so we as spirits need your light and your warmth. A sunless spirit becomes the parasite of the body. But the G0d feeds the spirit. ~Carl Jung, Red Book Page 286.
