That what you hate the most is that what you fear that you are

Ahhh yes. Leave it to Jung the prophet of the modern times.

I think he may have referred to at as the shadow. Projecting your owns fear and hate and bigotry onto others.

If people observe their own unconscious tendencies in other people this is called a projection. Political agitation in most countries is full of such projections, projections of all kinds obscure our view of our fellow men.

Part of our own personality remains on the opposing side

Is it me or could the world use a little Jungyian philosophy at this point?

Should we all be looking inwards to see what it is we are projecting onto others and what it is we are really unhappy about?

I like Hesse's version:

“If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn't part of ourselves doesn't disturb us.”
― Hermann Hesse

Ooooh good one. Never heard of Hesse thanks for the reference.

Well, I have to say when it comes to a significant amount of philosophy it is either;

A - Entirely about semantics nothing to do with philosophy at all, and therefore total pish.

or

B - Total pish.

“If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn't part of ourselves doesn't disturb us.”

The above quote is a classic example of total pish.

I hate religious fundamentalism and violent religious extremists....quod erat demonstrandum.

I find philosophy to be very relevant and Jungyian philosophy to be as important as the Kybalion.

Ever watched the movie Revolver? It really touches on that thought.

Are you atheist? If so, then you adhere to a religion. Only if you're agnostic, dio you not.

Nope might check it out though.

As I have noted on these boards previously, I do not "believe" in anything.

If you mean the one with Ray Liota and the chess players that's an excellent film.
Had to watch it a few times.
Tons of odd things in there.

No spoilers here.

a reply to: Tulpa

That's the one. I had to watch it a few times as well. Quite the mind#.

It's self-explanatory isn't it? If you fear something, it's natural to hate it. For whatever reason (real or imagined), you consider it a threat. Hate and anger is a quick way to deal with a threat.

Why would this be political only? Is this why many went through child sexual abuse using radio waves and other mind control technologies in the 70's and 80's? And still do for all we know. So the professional adult perpetrators could find a way to absolve themselves using Jungyian teachings. False prophet he is.

Getting back to Jung... I read some of his stuff years ago when I probably wasn't equipped to fully digest it.
I've got a copy of Dreams somewhere in my pile of stuff to be read.

Yet another one that I need to catch up with! The pile is growing. Being a bit of a collector makes me fear I'll never get round to all of them.
Acquiring them takes much less time than actually reading them.

I don't hate anything. Other than Figs and Dates.

So basically I am not a good date nor do I have a good fig-ure.

Thats an interesting place to start, but its not really true. It just leads to a truth about how we see the world.

I dont´t know... I hate people who cut childrens heads off, but I really think I couldn´t do it to even their children, if they had slain mine. But thats just me thinking out loud, its hard to truly imagine what the RL situation would make you feel. I hope I won't ever have to face that situation.

Regards,

Loophole: I hate crackheads. I don't smoke crack. Therefore, I don't fear that I am one.

One person's point of view can hardly be viewed as gospel,that quote has a million holes in it,more of an assumption,maybe in the eyes of a liberal,but not those with principles,his opinion and about 5 bucks get you a cup of coffee at a trendy bistro IMO

Not believing in God is not the same as adhering to a set of dogmatic ritualistic beliefs.
