I can tell I struck a nerve with my haphazard comment. I am truly sorry.

Also, you said, "Let them be." As if I was attacking "Jungians.". Cult, while carryng a negative connotation, I like to study old religions so it doesn't carry that meaning with me. Maybe that's where we got off on the wrong foot.

It was a hyperbole. I was literally talking about it to. Making my statement false. If I said "Why is no one watching this awesome TV show." It would be false too. Because I would have watched it.

Because I think the cult stuff is way cooler than the self-help stuff. I don't have a problem. You assumed I had a problem and immediately went on the defensive. I was just trying to start a conversation about a cool subject

I just find it an interesting topic. It isn't some crusade. I didn't mean to upset you.

I'm just surprised it isn't brought up more often.

I was supporting my claim. It would be weird if I just made that claim about Jung with no links supporting it.
One dude wrote a book, yet a whole sub genre of self-help is inspired by Jung's stuff. I'm just surprised it isn't brought up more often.

Why do people not talk more about the weird religious cult Jung started? Like the dude was so obsessed with the occult yet, I rarely see people acknowledge it.
EDIT: I just think the topic is cool and related to religions that have mostly been forgotten. Definitely think it is the infinitly more interesting side to Jung. Then what people present. Not trying to discredit anyone or start a crusade. Just wanna talk cool harmless cults.
EDIT 2: took out hyperbole for better clarity.
EDIT 3: Does anyone know if the Cult Of Dionysus still exists? I think I'm gonna join a cult.

This also happened right after he did a deep dive into Mithraic religions, which heavily influenced his hallucinations. Makes me curious about the connection schizophrenia might have with religious obsessions. Makes me wonder if historic Oracles/ shamans might have been schizophrenic individuals. They just happened to live in a society that appreciated it instead of stigmatized it. Who knows. Definitely not me.
