Jung goes on to say, “This is an exceedingly dangerous time and we are confronted with a problem which has never been known in the conscious history of man. You cannot compare it with the early times of Christianity, because that movement did not come from the blood, but came from above, a light that shone forth. This is not a light but a darkness, the powers of darkness are coming up." Instead of God incarnating in his light aspect, it is as if the powers of darkness are coming out of hiding in the shadows and are showing themselves. It is as if the dark side of our nature, or we could even say the shadow of God, is revealing itself and incarnating itself through the unconscious of humanity.
Our species has been seized by a more powerful energy that has taken us over and is acting itself out through our unconscious. It is as if we are a species possessed. The Unconscious itself is incarnating and becoming visible as it drafts people into its service so as to give shape and form to itself. We then become the unwitting agents through which the Unconscious is literally materializing itself into full-bodied form.
"We know we originate with God, but the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one."
1 John 5:19
