Man can try to name love, showering upon it all the names at his command, and still he will involve himself in endless self deceptions. if he possesses a grain of wisdom he will lay down his arms and name the unknown by the more unknown - ignotum per ignotius - that is by the name of god.

Man Can Try To Name Love, Showering

More From Carl Jung

Ecclesiastes names thee almighty, the maccabees name thee creator, the epistle to the ephesians names thee liberty, baruch names thee immensity, the psalms name thee wisdom and truth, john names thee light, the book of kings names thee lord, exodus names thee providence, leviticus sanctity, esdras justice, creation names thee god, man names thee father; but solomon names thee compassion, which is the most beautiful of all thy names.

The ultimate difference between god's wisdom and man's wisdom is how they relate to the glory of god's grace in christ crucified. god's wisdom makes the glory of god's grace our supreme treasure. but man's wisdom delights in seeing himself as resourceful, self-sufficient, self determining, and not utterly dependent on god's free grace.
Men Self Differences
Man depends on god for all things: god depends on man for one. without man's love god does not exist as god, only as creator, and love is the one thing no one, not even god himself, can command. it is a free gift or it is nothing. and it is most itself, most free, when it is offered in spite of suffering, of injustice, and of death . . . the justification of the injustice of the universe is not our blind acceptance of god's inexplicable will, nor our trust in god's love, his dark and incomprehensible love, for us, but our human love, notwithstanding anything, for him.
Acceptance Dark Love Is
We proclaim human intelligence to be morally valuable per se because we are human. if we were birds, we would proclaim the ability to fly as morally valuable per se. if we were fish, we would proclaim the ability to live underwater as morally valuable per se. but apart from our obviously self-interested proclamations, there is nothing morally valuable per se about human intelligence.

This is a photograph, so it is as you see: there are no lies and no deceptions. one can detect here, elevated to an incomparably higher level, the same pathetic emotional appeal that lies concealed in every fake spiritualist photograph, every pornographic photograph; one comes to suspect that the strange, disturbing emotional appeal of the photographic art consists solely in that same repeated refrain: this is a true ghost... this is a photograph, so it is as you see: there are no lies, no deceptions.
Art Lying Emotional
What is sin? it is the glory of god not honored. the holiness of god not reverenced. the greatness of god not admired. the power of god not praised. the truth of god not sought. the wisdom of god not esteemed. the beauty of god not treasured. the goodness of god not savored. the faithfulness of god not trusted. the commandments of god not obeyed. the justice of god not respected. the wrath of god not feared. the grace of god not cherished. the presence of god not prized. the person of god not loved. that is sin.

The greatness of the human personality begins at the hour of birth. from this almost mystic affirmation there comes what may seem a strange conclusion: that education must start from birth.
