The crucifixion story, as interpreted by Jung, is an archetypal "limit story" that encapsulates humanity's deepest fears and suffering, yet looking deeply into this abyss reveals the potential for death and resurrection, mirroring ancient symbolism like the serpent in the desert.

is what can this possibly mean well
i was thinking about that in
relationship to imagery of the crucifix
and the story that surrounds it so jung
thought that the
passion story was archetypal because
because
it's a limit story like this
this debate at oxford
you cannot write a more tragic story
it's impossible technically why
well because it's a story of the
aggregation of everything that people
are afraid of
so there was no death more painful than
crucifixion that's why the romans
invented it it was to punish political
miscreants it was the slow agonizing
death by suffocation essentially and and
and dehydration and exposure it's
extraordinarily painful okay so
that sucks that's pain man plus you know
it's coming that's part of the story plus
plus
your best friend betrayed you into it
plus your people turned against you plus
they're led by a tyrant who doubts truth
plus you're a victim of the roman empire
plus you're completely innocent plus
everybody knows it
plus they they choose a criminal to be
released from this experience instead of
you even though they know he's a
criminal and they know you're innocent
so and you're young
and you've done no wrong and all you've
done is help people
so it's a limit story
okay so then you think
we've been looking at that limit story
for 2000 years in the image and in the
story what are we doing
well you're supposed to visit the
stations of the cross let's say okay
here's the idea
you hear the crucifixion story
maybe if you're female you're mary and
why is that the pieda because you have
to offer your children to the
destruction of the world
that's female courage that's the mother
that doesn't hold your child back it's
like go out to what
eventually your death and destruction
go out
leave me be in the world that's feminine
courage man to let her baby go
you're a pilot you doubt truth
but you're
you'll go along with the crowd you're
judas because you betray your
best friend
you're the mob
you're the criminal
all of that that's you
you look on all those things that you
hate and are terrified by
that's like that's not a snake it's like
the worst of all possible snakes everywhere
everywhere
that's what you're looking at what do
you see
you see death you see destruction pain
terror tyranny
frailty betrayal
look harder
look harder
look harder
what do you see
the death and resurrection
you look far enough into the abyss you
see the light
well that's the story that's the
connection between those stories and
this unbelievably strange thing is is
that connection exists it's like
there's the strange story of the serpent
in the desert and we know that story is
3000 years old something like that we
know that
and then we know perfectly well that
christ said that he was allied that his
image was allied with that snake that's
written down and even if you don't
believe in the historical reality of christ
christ
someone still made that connection
