ABSTRACT
The opening chapter made it clear that a Jungian spirituality is grounded in nothing less than a myth of the psyche as all encompassing. As such this myth includes an ontology, an epistemology, a cosmology and a compelling theory on the genesis and evolution of human religiosity. All these sides of the myth rest on the primary dialectic between the archetypal unconscious and consciousness. Most importantly Jung's myth serves as a harbinger of and contributor to an emerging societal consciousness comparable to a collective religious revelation. Jung's understanding of the psyche bears this capacity because he attributes to the archetypal unconscious not only the creation of the divinities but also by extension the creation of the values that they carry as the bases of the epochs that the historical parade of divinities display throughout human history. His contention is that we stand on the verge of a newer epoch and so on the edge of the supersession of the reigning Gods.
