Generally, the articles you post are excellent, and I Thank You for posting all of them, including this one that is not excellent.

The author does not understand Carl Jung or many of the topics she speaks about.

First, Jung, a son of a minister and a long line of ministers in his family sought to understand religion(s) better.

In September 1909, when he and Freud came to America to participate in the Clark Lectures, he stayed as a guest at the University’s President’s house, (Stanley.Hall) with the Father of American psychology, William James. James, a Harvard Professor and also a medical doctor is famous for writing “Varities of Religious Experiences.”

Jung later wrote that this meeting was highly influential upon his career to study many of the religions of the world to find a greater understanding of the human psyche. James was old, and died with a year later while Jung was a young 33.

While I do not agree with Jung on many of his theories, he was by far instrumental in seeking scientifically to understand why Jesus taught us what He did about the human soul or spirit. He sought an objective scientific evaluation of all the world’s religions.

The author’s understanding of Christianity is shallow and rule oriented opinionated legalism filled with attacks based upon fear and not based upon a factual understanding. Her blatent use of logical fallacies of argumentation undermine any merit her message might have.

🙏

If Jung was communicating with spirits such as “Philemon” he’s definitely corrupt and not to be trusted.

Jesus taught us to invite the “Helper Spirit” into us.

John 14:
Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit

15 “If you love me, keep my commands. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. (I listen to this Spirit often)

18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19 Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me.

And if you allow the Holy Spirit into you and follow Jesus’s commands, then

12 Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.

Oh you hippocrites. If you are not doing some, just a few of the things Jesus did, then you fool yourselves as He is not in you.

It’s no wonder Jesus replied,

Matthew 7: 21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’

23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

Jesus spoke with spirits, He knew the thoughts of people around Him, He cast out demons. There is a BIG DIFFERENCE between us doing these things and Jesus doing these things through us as He is in us.

As long as your heart is hard and not full of Love, you will never find Jesus as you become full of yourself and your opinions. Jesus is here now, you just cannot see, feel, and hear Him.

I look forward to the near future when you become empty and in great despair, as your heart currently has no room for the Holy Spirit or Jesus. You have no room for the “Spirit of Truth” when you own your knowledge as a possession and become full of yourself.

I purposely sent this message to myself as a reminder of how I was once blind, as I always watch carefully to not fall into the trap that limits my connection to God.

For anyone else who hears these words and understands, I will see you on the other side of the window of despair. Until then, I do not know you.

🙏🙏🙏
