- Dangerous, heretical, subversive reading of the biblical book of Job (Iyov). A Tale of abandoning the Unconscious for the Conscious realm. A discussion between God and God.
Does God understand Job’s Suffering? Is God jealous of Job? Is God questioning the very act of creation itself? Is Existence justified? Is Suffering worth it? Is Consciousness good? Does God apologize for creation?
Maybe.
Find out in Carl Gustav Jung’s most controversial work, Answer to Job (1952), where God is sat down for a session of psychoanalysis while the morality of His actions are weighed up in this mythological, cosmic drama.

Jung rich and famous
Thank you for sharing this. Fascinating take on Job's story 🙏 So many oddities in the Bible resolve themselves when read through the lens of mysticism and esotericism.
You show that you neither understand the Book of Job or Jung's in depth interpretation of Job from the psycho-analytic perspective.
The Bible is taken to literal, and it has to be taken metaphorically at times and understood through symbology and this is where Jung shined.
God is less than human. He is unconscious. That is why he acted the way he did!
I think we need to understand what Sophia is as best as is possible
For the life of me I don’t understand why you don’t have a ton more subscribers than you do. Really excellent content; thank you!
With All respect to Jung, just think before you we’re born you knew nothing, and when you’re dead you are back to the consciousness of God.
If God is in the unconscious realm, where would the motivation to desire lived experience come from in the first place? The motivation/desire seems... human like.
Thank you. Nice to get brain food.
Answer to Job is one of the most mind-blowing things i have ever read, im currently on another slow read of it in Volume 11 of his works, and the degree that he was able to think was just incredible. To quote Jung near the end of Answer to Job, one of the important lines to help grasp the contents of the book in my opinion is
Great book, though very difficult to understand at points if you don't know what he's really talking about. I think the last couple of chapters really helped me grasp what the whole book was getting at. Here's the sort of schema I've got from it:
This was beautiful, lovely to see it. I love you channel!!!
I happened upon this and really appreciate bot he the speaker's and the interviewer's humility and wonder and awe at these ideas. Also, I appreciate the speaker's honesty as to how these ideas or concepts might currently be staged in his mind as he responds.
Thank you for reminding me of Jung's critique which I have not read for years. From all the explanations of consciousness,, the one that makes most sense to me is that it is a learned activity.
Reminds me of the Sufi notion(probably elsewhere too) that God created people because he loves stories.
This was profound and beautiful. I love your work Zevi.
349th to like! Thank you for sharing this conversation. In my experience and those i have had the privilege of peer support, with Schizophrenia recovery self-talk is a critical and perhaps the essential ingredient in finding peace with the voices, delusions, hallucinations and paranoia. Many end up making friends with previously hostile voices and can't imagine a world without their comfort. I remember some 20 years ago, i would fall asleep or wake up hearing them singing or telling me how loved i am. Over the years i have less and less communication with the friends in my head but i have never stopped using self-talk. My favourite scripture is The Qoheleth in large part due to the talking to yourself framework. Much love!
Amazing take on it! True insight here
