Thanks for your response.

One doesn't really know what one is left with unless one actually tries. The failure of others is not a reason to give up on the process.

I don't understand why you say that the concept of a MAN-God is repulsive. It may be inaccurate and wrong, but need not evoke such an emotional reaction. In any case it is only part of one out of three of the Abrahamic religions. It is true only in the sense that everyone is a MAN-God, i.e. the teaching of the Perennial Philosophy. That may be the true teaching of the Jesus of the gospels – see, for example, the recent writings of Jon Canas on Medium.

As you say, Jung believed in the divine feminine, so is that not a conclusion? I've no idea why you say he was kicked out of the Catholic Church. His ideas may perhaps have been condemned by them, but what's your evidence that he was ever a member? Wasn't his family Protestant.

There are indeed many contradictions in the Bible. A sillier idea than the MAN-God is that the Bible is the inspired word of God and therefore contains no contradictions. That doesn't mean we shouldn't study it to see how such ideas arose. Proof of celestial whisper is obviously impossible in any religion, if by that you mean proof in anything like a scientific sense.

If it's time to grow up, you could perhaps reconsider your apparent prejudice against religion/spirituality. True meaning is almost top-down by definition. Get to work.
