Abstract

This essay is influenced by (but in opposition to) Jungian psychology. Jung's psychology does not equate to culture and psyche running side by side with one another. Rather Jungian psychology splits culture and psyche by establishing compensation as a key principle. Hence, the psyche compensates for culture and focuses on what culture misses out. A cursory glance through Jungian texts will show up a mountain of esoteric material (myth, fairy-tale, spiritualism, alchemy, Gnosticism, traditional religion, story-telling romanticism, mysticism) and overlook almost entirely that which is contemporary. The reason why Jung (himself) compensated for the culture that he was born into was because he was a childhood neurotic and his answer to neurosis was to immerse himself in numinosity. We see this kind of attitude and response to neurosis in existentialism today. Jung was not comfortable in contemporary life.
