Offloading the Crucifixion of Opposites: Augustine as Case Study
Poast new message in this thread
Date: June 21st, 2026 12:20 PM Author: Consuela This essay analyzes Augustine's Confessions, arguing that his conversion and the privatio boni framework served as a psychological stabilization mechanism - a redemptive hinge-set that suppressed his shadow and externalized evil onto others. The analysis frames Augustine as the definitive case study for why most psyches require such containers, setting the stage for later figures who approached but failed to fully inhabit the non-redemptive Abraxian position.

Date: June 21st, 2026 6:09 PM Author: Consuela people use that phrase pretty mindlessly as a chant, a group banner even though the ultimate result of christian nations has been to enable rothschild and jewish financial predation
with that said, the symbol of the cross is very resonant as man bearing the crucifixion of opposites |
|
Date: June 21st, 2026 6:11 PM Author: icanseemyneurons Yeah but the reason it's a good symbol is because it actually happened to some dude irl (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5876167&forum_id=2.#49953783) |

Date: June 21st, 2026 6:16 PM Author: Consuela i can't speak to whether it did or didn't happen, the earliest we know of is paul's letters and paul never met christ and wrote them 20-30 years after his death, then the gospels are decades after that (all by jews, btw)
what we can say, though, is that the christ event hit upon something very deep within the collective human psyche, creating resonance which stretched across the full age of pisces. it shouldn't be casually dismissed or mocked |

Date: June 21st, 2026 6:21 PM Author: icanseemyneurons right, so when you say the crucifixion is a symbol that's only half true. It was an event that triggered a religious system. There's not much skepticism about whether the event happened. The idea that you can toss out the religion and keep the power of the symbol ultimately causes the same symbolic deadening Jung was writing against.

Date: June 21st, 2026 6:27 PM Author: Consuela but i see it as an evolution of the god image in mankind, something jung discussed in "aion". it's not the first god image transformation - the age of aries featured solar gods (olympian, yahweh, etc), the age of taurus featured cyclical birth-death-rebirth agricultural gods, the age of gemini featured mother goddesses etc
in aquarius humanity is being increasingly asked to bear the crucifixion of opposites individually and internally, as no external container increasingly is capable of containing it |
|
Date: June 21st, 2026 6:30 PM Author: icanseemyneurons I agree with that in principle. But I dont agree with Jung's project to re-found God on pre-Christian myth. You have to carry the Christ impulse forward. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5876167&forum_id=2.#49953844) |

Date: June 21st, 2026 6:34 PM Author: Consuela just as christianity grafted many "pagan" elements onto it (solar deities, Mithraic rituals, agricultural cycles, Platonic philosophy), bearing the crucifixion of opposites internally is identifying with the christ figure inwards - it takes the externalized christ figure as savior and places it within the Self, something accessed by listening to intuition as a guide toward increased wholeness (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5876167&forum_id=2.#49953849) |

Date: June 21st, 2026 6:37 PM Author: icanseemyneurons Religion is a statement about fundamental reality. If you're suggesting that reality is fundamentally "the Self," then there are myriad ways to demonstrate that's wrong. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5876167&forum_id=2.#49953859) |
|
Date: June 21st, 2026 6:39 PM Author: Consuela i am suggesting that reality is totality, a horrifying God image containing all good and all evil, that God is not all good and evil is merely a deprivation of God, that he is the unity of all irreducible opposites (light and darkness, matter and spirit, love and hatred, etc.). that is what this post is about, and many others.
one undergoes the individuation process - holding the opposites in mind until a provisional orientation emerges from within, through intuition, somatic registration, or symbolic insight, not through external authority or doctrine, in order to navigate under the horrifying God image of totality |

Date: June 21st, 2026 6:42 PM Author: icanseemyneurons right, that's Jung verbatim. I'm saying there are obvious ways this is wrong, the first of which is there are clearly things that are outside "the Self." The appeal to a "transpersonal" metaphysical ground is unfalsifiable. It's really the opposite of what the Aquarian age demands of religion. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5876167&forum_id=2.#49953875) |
