Just to think about one question: How the God be "omniscient" meanwhile evil happens?

You will know the God is not "all-good", but her role is only a manipulator after all.

The so-called "collective-subconsciousness" could be a substitute for the presence of the God in the psychology field.

P.S. This line is a brainstorm only, not necessarily the truth.

I am familiar with the idea of God and the collective-subconscious being related. It was written about by Victor White in his book, 'God and the Unconscious.' I read it several years ago and, unfortunately don't have it as it was in my mother's home. She threw it away because it was tatty and I haven't managed to get another copy, so I can't quote it. However, Victor White was a theologian who had a lot of dialogue with Jung, especially the relation to the dark side of inner experience and in relation to thinking about the dark elements in what can either be called God or the collective unconscious.

As a theologian, White looked at the doctrine of the privatio boni. This was the Christian theological doctrine which suggested that evil is the absence of God. In the dialogue, Jung argued that seeing evil as the mere absence of light did not account for the potency of evil as a real aspect of the unconscious.

The idea of the unconscious, especially the Jungian one is not taken on board by many in the psychiatric profession. However, I have met one consultant psychiatrist whose understanding of schizophrenia was that schizophrenia involves people being more sensitive in tuning into the unconscious.

Duno what to answer with, but you made me think of the picture below

Is it related to the field of "Consciousness" in science?

I think psychology is not an accurate science with compare to other subjects since no single one person is the same as another. Therefore all the psychological experiments are invalid. I have no offences, but it is the truth that everyone has to admit. Some of them are just fake science.

Maybe my last post sounds very rude and has offended the others.

I apologize,and please, let the meaningful discussions continue.

I am sorry if I offended anyone. It is because English is not my mother tongue.

Maybe we can start from this statement: The God has to do dirty things on her own since she is the only one who capable of doing them. She is the only one who capable of talking to us in the way she did, so she has to do all the things on her own. Hence, it created various legends and haunted stories. Besides, it proves the existence of a manipulator - the God - in our world. In the form of voices, of course.

Who do you guys think?

Blessings,

Is it so hard to accept an invisible manipulator in our world? Despite all the haunted stories and holy legends, the big boss behind all these is a manipulator who was known as "the God" in human history. Is reality so hard to be accepted? I wonder why people resent my cosmology.
