Commentary on William Blake’s Illustrations of the Book of Job by Dr. Edward Edinger. It is published by Inner City Books.

01:19 Edinger’s definition of “Self,” the trans-personal Center, the God-Image.
01:50 “The experience with the “Self” is always a defeat for the Ego.” C.G. Jung
02:18 “The discovery of this Center (the “Self) is like the discovery of Extraterrestial Intelligence.
03:15 We meet the One who makes one Whole.
03:18 Introduction—“C.G. Jung’s Answer to Job has established the story of Job as crucial for the Psyche of modern man.”
04:02 “The Job story is an Archetypal image, which pictures a certain typical Encounter between the Ego and the Self. This typical Encounter may be called ‘The Job Archetype’.”
05:00 Essentialized Job Archetype - [Contest-Defeat-Lamentation-Rebirth].
05:36 Each time you go through the Job cycle, your Ego becomes stronger. You can find another video on this channel on this topic entitled: “How to Live an Authentic Life.”
07:20 Answer to Job is available separately from Princeton University Press, 50th Anniversary Edition, 2010.
08:32 Dr. Jung distinguishes between psychological and visionary art.
10:33 Title Page – Zechariah 4:10; Revelation 5:6; Job 1:7 – The Theme of the Eye of God is immediately introduced.
11:30 The Subject and Object of scrutiny becomes reversed. Instead of Yahweh scrutinizing Job; Job is scrutinizing Yahweh. For more on the “eye of God” theme, see Edward F. Edinger, The Creation of Consciousness (Toronto: Inner City Books, 1984), pp. 42ff.
12:49 Picture 1 shows the Unconscious Ego, which feels secure in its Unconscious assumptions and its collective containments.
13:00 A state of participation mystique.
13:45 Inscribed in the alter, “The letter killeth; the Spirit giveth Life.” “It is The Word (Logos), and Job’s reliance on it, which are to be sacrificed” in favor of the Spirit (Eros).
14:23 Picture 2 - The Unconscious has been activated.
14:57 Satan, the autonomous Spirit, approaches Yahweh.
15:02 Satan represents the urge to Individuation and greater Consciousness.
15:27 In terms of maturity, at this point Job (like any child) has known only the benefits of Yahweh, but Yahweh needs to be known in his totality, good and bad (which is a mature attitude toward life).
16:06 Lack of self reflection is absolute when the Subject (in this case Yahweh) “has no insight into himself.”
17:20 “Good is the passive that obeys reason [Logos]; Evil is the active springing from energy [Eros].”
18:57 Blake is presenting a paradox.
19:20 Saying of Jesus, “He who is near to me is close to the fire.”
19:43 Picture 3 – “In this picture, the energy dynamism reaches its highest pitch, almost pure explosive energy erupts in consciousness, destroying its containing structures.” [Compare current events.]
20:38 Picture 4 – The arrival of the bad news.
22:23 Picture 5 – Job has reacted to his symptoms by reverting to the traditional virtues. Meanwhile, Satan is about to pour fire on him. This is the way the Ego often tries to deal with psychic symptoms.
23:45 Picture 6 – “Here even the limited adaptation breaks down.... This is the picture of an acute breakdown. All defenses have collapsed.” This the final glimpse of the sun.
25:16 Reference to Bernini’s sculpture, “The Ecstasy of St. Theresa” By Alvesgaspar - Own work, CC BY-SA 4.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=43527951
25:27 The Ego, as a container, can break if more is poured into it than it can stand.
25:34 The motif of the broken vessel is found in the Lurianic Cabbala.
26:06 “Job could be called a chosen vessel to bear God’s name.” Acts 9:15
26:50 “No longer am I going to show kindness to the inhabitants of the world.” Zechariah 11:6-10
28:50 “Pain is the great enigma of existence.”
30:25 Jung’s definition of God.
