If we set a God outside of ourselves…
We think that there is singleness within us, and communality outside us. Outside of us is the communal in relation to the external, while singleness refers to us. We are single if we are in ourselves, but communal in relation to what is outside us.
But if we are outside of ourselves, then we are single and selfish in the communal. Our self suffers privation if we are outside ourselves, and thus it satisfies its needs with communality Consequently; communality is distorted into singleness. If we are in ourselves, we fulfill the need of the self
we prosper, and through this we become aware of the needs of the communal and can fulfill them.
If we set a God outside of ourselves, he tears us loose from the self since the God is more powerful than we are. Our self falls into privation. But if the God moves into the self he snatches us from what is outside us. We arrive at singleness in ourselves.
So the G0d becomes communal in reference to what is outside us, but single in relation to us. No one has my G0d, but my G0d has everyone, including myself. The G0ds of all individual men always have all other men, including myself So it is always only the one G0d despite his multiplicity You arrive at him in yourself and only through your self seizing you. It seizes you in the advancement of your life.
The hero must fall for the sake of our redemption, since he is the model and demands imitation. But the measure of imitation is fulfilled. We should become reconciled to solitude in ourselves and to the Gd 0outside of us. If we enter into this solitude then the life of the G0d begins. If we are in ourselves, then the space around us is free, but filled by the G0d.
Our relations to men go through this empty space and also through the God. But earlier it went through selfishness since we were outside ourselves. Therefore the spirit foretold to me that the cold of outer space will spread across the earth. With this he showed me in an image that the G0d will step between men and drive every individual with the whip of icy cold to the warmth of his own monastic hearth. Because people were beside themselves, going into raptures like madmen. [Carl Jung; The Red Book; Page 245.]
