Jung reported that authentic enduring light comes from a person who acknowledges his/her own darkness. The quote below says the same, as well as many other enlightened voices and revelations of wisdom over the ages. If one would face the true darkness he experiences as an individual he might ignite some light which must be the primary reason each of us is here.

It seems modern Western cultures have lost trust or belief in what we humans have originally evolved from, ie the Collective Unconscious(all previous human experience and more.) So no longer are our lost souls positively nourished by it. We are like trees with no roots. It is our dangerous human condition now.
That does not mean the Collective Unconscious(The depth-psychology hypothesised avenue, within all of us, from which all perceived ideas and activities of God have come through the ages.) will ever cease to be in us.
It can work negatively, perhaps now the world-over, to get our attention and also can respond very positively if enough of us, as individuals, become more open to it. For example, giving sincere attention to our nightly dreams and becoming acquainted with our natural intuition function.

What a negative shadow the good of Christianity casts on the world from earliest times till now. We should not be surprised. All good casts a shadow, whether a person, a movement or an institution.
It seems to me that only a growing consciousness of many individuals of this psychological/spiritual fact can presently recover our species and the Earth from self destruction. If not, we are sure to create violence, hostility, hate and divisions far worse than our predecessors could imagine.
