In this episode, Bret uses Jungian Psychology to explain the religious character of CSJ, particularly the intoxicating nature of ideologies and zealotry exhibited by its believers. He delves into the notion of archetypal possession as a persuasive explanation of how CSJ managed to gain such a hold over Western Culture. https://www.aldermancoaching.com/
