Abraxas, [wikipedia]

Carl Jung (Seven Sermons to the Dead)

Abraxas is an important figure in Seven Sermons, a representation of the driving force of individuation (synthesis, maturity, oneness), referred with the figures for the driving forces of differentiation (emergence of consciousness and opposites), Helios God-the-Sun, and the Devil.[15]
"There is a God about whom you know nothing, because men have forgotten him. We call him by his name: Abraxas. He is less definite than God or Devil.... "Abraxas is activity: nothing can resist him but the unreal.... Abraxas stands above the sun[-god] and above the devil.... If the Pleroma were capable of having a being, Abraxas would be its manifestation."
—2nd Sermon
"That which is spoken by God-the-Sun is life; that which is spoken by the Devil is death; Abraxas speaketh that hallowed and accursed word, which is life and death at the same time. Abraxas begetteth truth and lying, good and evil, light and darkness in the same word and in the same act. Wherefore is Abraxas terrible."
—3rd Sermon


I, am beginning, to realise, Jung, had some personal problems.
Without doubt, he was Brilliant, but he must have suffered, almost unbearable Psychic pain, also.

Then again, he did mention this. His 'descent', whilst, in ,Basle, etc...

He has given us a glimpse, of, part,of, eternity. He fulfilled his destiny, and became , a Healer.

But he, too, was only, a Man.
