10 Apr 2006 - today's quote |
The central symbol of Christianity must have, above all else, a
psychological meaning, for without this it...would have been relegated
long ago to the dusty cabinet of spiritual monstrosities.
--Carl Gustav Jung, "A Psychological Approach to the Dogma of the
Trinity" (1958)

I wonder what he thought that 'symbol' might be? I'm also curious as to
what a 'psychological meaning' might be, distinct from a 'meaning', within
a human context.

I would think this is absolutely true since the cross was a revered
spiritual symbol long before Christianity or Judaism were founded.
