Occultism and rationalism

Occultism refers to the pursuit or study of mysterious supernatural phenomena or hidden forces beyond general phenomena. I sometimes described occultism as grotesque because there are phenomena that drive things badly.

 

The war where ideology originated, the war where religion originated, the idolization of North Korea, the manipulation of state affairs in South Korea, and nationalism in China and Japan are related to occultism. Political activities that focus on popular manipulation by emphasizing belief and emotional motivation can also be seen as an area of occultism.

 

Psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung 1875-1961: A delusional schizophrenic who was admitted to the hospital one day, told Jung, 'There is a pennis in the sun and that's where the wind comes from the movement.' Four years later, Jung found the same sentence while reading a prayer book from the Mithra religion of ancient Rome. However, there was no circumstantial evidence that the delusional schizophrenic had read the prayer book. That's because the patient said so before it was translated and published.

 

Jung later considered such a phenomenon to have a common layer of mind among people, and ordered such a layer of mind to be 'universal unconsciousness'.

 

There are people who deliberately manipulate or actively respond to such phenomena, while there are people who are swayed or passively accepting them. The former acts as a pseudo-religious leader, and the latter acts as a gaslighted believer. The problem is that occultism does not involve rational inquiry activities. Psychologist Jung explored it academically, but the public is busy pursuing their own desires, so they miss the opportunity to explore it. As a result, hyper-rationality and idealism become prevalent in competitive societies, societies with poor philosophy, and societies with poor minds.

 

Scientific and occultism coexist in Eastern society where modernization is achieved at a rapid pace, and nationalism, nationalism, or ideological state phenomena can be a good soil for cultivating occultism. This is because a society bound by blind and emotional bonds rather than reason does not 'think'.

 

As a Korean, I think of the tyranny of hyper-rationality while looking at phenomena such as North Korea's ideological and idolization, and South Korea's manipulation of state affairs. And there is something that cannot be reasonably understood when looking at wars in the Middle East.
