To me Jung and Joseph Campbell and to a lesser extent Propp and the other folklorists/mythology classifiers have always seemed to engage in a lot of pseud equivocation that both strips the joy out of exploring the differences and novelties of individual works while also conveniently ignoring anything that would contradict their theories, like how in e.g.
culture dragons are benevolent and bring good fortune or in some of the Greek regions/traditions snakes are healers.
Maybe I'm the
though. Either way wash your balls.

I chose the Names of God (BIPOC) version on purpose, it is the most dramapilled Bible translation since it correctly shows the original Hebrew names for YHWH, and also because of its acronym!

The Rod of Asclepius is still a popular symbol for medical associations today and the original Hippocratic Oath invoked him.
When Hadrian rebuilt Jerusalem as Aelia Capitolina following the Jewish-Roman War they even turned the sacred pool (identified in the Christian tradition as having healing properties due to the presence of St. Raphael the Archangel whose name translates roughly as "God's healer") featured in John 5 into a cultic worship site for Asclepius.
Such blasphemous disrespect in turn continued to simmer in the buildup to the Bar Kokhba revolt.

I know close to nothing about Jung's oeuvre, wasn't he a shrink at the same time as that crackpot Freud?

Fun fact: Carl Jung had close ties to the CIA. He also probably had s*x with Allen Dulles' wife but Allen was fine with it because he had his own mistress (and weirdly enough, Allen's wife was close friends with the mistress after learning about her)

This is true in the Old Testament as well. Staff
of Moses but more particular to healing are the bronze serpents that healed the Israelites
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Not to nitpick but
Moses' Staff was a response to the snakes plaguing the Israelites in the preceding verse Numbers 21:6 and was thus more about protection from them rather than healing through them and later King Hezekiah destroyed the Nehushtan because there was sacrifice taking place at its site. Snakes don't heal, only God does.

Sure but gods healing was done through a bronze serpent.
My point
being is that snakes 
have not been seen just as agents of suffering 
but also healing even within our own religion. It is not just isolated pagan symbolism. Even Greek 
mythology 
prominently featured snakes 
as evil as well. You had many evil snake 
monsters 
even in Greek 
mythology 
most prominently medusa.
In fact now that I think
about it Medusa was a priest 
(for Artemis I think) who turned away from her god and had relations with Poseidon. As you know in Jewish/christian traditions the snake 
itself turns mankind away from god but somewhat similar 
situation/theme

Jung is a good psychologist for the spiritualist.
Jordan Peterson is a good role model ( books about discipline only ) for the average 14 and above year old.

If you're in to self help books or you're a fatherless and rudderless young man it might be helpful. He brings up Jung because he's into comparative mythology and the archetypes are just useful shorthand for longer explanations. He cries because he's a benzo addicted shabbos goy.

You're actually eunuchs, not "transexuals." You can not transcend your s*x or alter it in any way, it is inherent, even for individuals who are born genetically or physically deformed and termed intersex. Eunuchs are an imposed quisling class whose primary purpose is to humiliate and administer over conquered populations. This "artificial third s*x" acts as a buffer for those with actual power, a clown to hide who holds the crown. For the eunuchs themselves, they trade their loyalty to the biological and organic structures of life, such as family, for political ones, sometimes this is termed "Bioleninism." This is why the USG is now so dead set on exporting its culture of eunuchry as a social issue, because its existence is simply a mark of the USG's dominance. This was true in the old East and the Ottoman empire, we see it happening now with such ridiculous figures as Dr. Richard Levine, the jew, the s*x pervert, the entity.
