ABSTRACT
Jung reports that his soul was silent for many days, but that eventually he was visited by a “dark crowd”, and his soul hastily informed him that they would tear down his door. The “Seven Sermons” are philosophical and theosophical in content, and while they can been interpreted in psychological terms, the author will initially examine them as the metaphysical discourses that they appear to be on their face. When Jung places an infinite distance between humanity and the Pleroma, he is speaking of the phenomenal order; and, when he identifies humanity with the Pleroma, he is speaking about the noumenal realm in much the same way that Kant argued that phenomenally man is determined but noumenally ensouled and free. Philemon asks why it is that Jung speaks about the Pleroma at all. Jung's answer is quite interesting and suggests a relativistic, even postmodern mode of thought.
