Hello 

Thank you for your question.

Mysterium Coniunctionis (1955) Collected Works, vol. 14: P. 706

“Nothing in us ever remains quite uncontradicted, and consciousness
can take up no position which will not call up, somewhere in the dark
corners of the psyche, a negation or a compensatory effect, approval
or resentment. This process of coming to terms with the Other in us is
well worth while, because in this way we get to know aspects of our
nature which we would not allow anybody else to show us and which we
ourselves would never have admitted.”

In my opinion, the above excerpt from Mysterium Coniunctionis
indicates just how much of a gnostic Taoist Jung was in the sense that
he understood quite well that self-knowledge (gnosis) is achieved
through the conscious assimilation of the contents of the unconscious,
including its dark "shadow" side, towards a goal of psychospiritual
wholeness.

Those who have studied Jung's profound works, especially Septem
Sermones ad Mortuos (Seven Sermons to the Dead), will realize that
"the Other in us" is in actuality the paradoxical Abraxas, which Jung
defined as "a complexio oppositorum."

Hermann Hesse's Demian is a brilliant example of Jung's psychologized
Gnosticism. The characters and events of the novel constitute an
allegory of the Jungian archetypes. Another version of psychologized
Gnosticism is Doris Lessing's Briefing for a Descent into Hell which
deals with the classical gnostic metaphors of sleeping and waking,
forgetting and remembering. Her fascinating novel valorizes the main
character's dissociated psychic fantasies at the expense of his mental
"health."
