Jung and UFOs: About things that are seen in heaven

The work of the Swiss Carl Gustav Jung has exceeded the field of psychology and currently its influence is present in literature, sociology, philosophy and even in entertainment spaces such as cinema or elaboration and interpretation of astral letters .This is largely a reflection of Jung's broad and sometimes unorthodox interests, which explored worlds and traditions as dissimilar as alchemy, the I ching , the dark forces that led the world towards war and, somewhat less well known, the sighting of unidentified flying objects ( ufos ).

The CIA and UFOs

According to a former CIA officer, Miles Copeland , in the early sixties this organization circulated false reports of UFO sightings from different regions of the United States; the objective of this campaign-carried out by the Special Affairs Team, the same one that tried to kill Fidel Castro with the most absurd and inefficient methods-was to make the Chinese believe that the Americans were developing new and advanced technologies.What they never anticipated was that these reports were believed and multiplied by citizens of that country and abroad, which gave an extraordinary boost to the belief in visitors from another world.

However, since the fifties sightings had been reported and the phenomenon must have been of a certain magnitude, because it attracted the interest of Jung, who published in 1958 a small essay on the subject: On things that are seen in the heaven .

Close encounters with archetypes?

Misunderstanding with this work d the Swiss sicologo could start with the title itself, because in the Spanish edition the initial sentence of the German and English editions was deleted: A modern myth.On things seen in heaven .And this would have to be added at the end of the preface to this work:

As a psychologist I lack the means and procedures that would help clarify the question about the physical reality of the ufos .Therefore I can only stick to the psychic aspects, which undoubtedly exist, and in the following pages I will deal almost exclusively with the psychic phenomena that accompany the ufos .

Although they have treated this title as if it were a "forbidden" or "damn" work, or Jung's support for the existence of UFOs, the text does not move away from others analysis of spiritual phenomena made by this author, which compares these sightings with similar psychic manifestations that s and presented before World War II or much later, shortly before the imposition of Christianity in the West.

Between Hiroshima and Sputnik

After these “Collective hallucinations”, or archetypal manifestations of the collective unconscious, could also influence other aspects related to the postwar period, such as the warlike use of the newly discovered nuclear energy or the emergence of the space program, inaugurated by the Russians with the launch of the first artificial satellite , the "Sputnik", placed in orbit in October 1957, less than a year before the publication of Jung's book.

Time of changes on Earth

Certainly the approaching decade, the sixties, was loaded with extraordinary changes in every way for humanity, but it was not these events to come that had forced Jung "to release a warning voice".

Jung and UFOs: About things that are seen in heaven

Beyond its possible successes and mistakes, Things to be come to heaven is a remarkable curiosity in the work of Carl Gustav Jung.

What do you think? Do UFOs exist or not?
