      I’m not sure how the presence of ideas promoted by Jung or the concept of guided self-reflection are at all mutually exclusive with religious beliefs.

          They’re not, they’re distinct concepts that are commonly found expressed in religious practices but are not in of themselves spiritual. I’m sorry I’m genuinely confused as to what you’re saying.

            I’m saying you’re way too attached to this and it may be worth exploring, in your own time. This is like if someone latched on to your SN and assume you’re into the dark arts and Loki is your patron.

              I was attempting to explore this by engaging with the person who made the assertion directly when you engaged with me, though. If you don’t want to be here, you’re welcome to leave? Alternatively I welcome an explanation instead of a fairly rude dismissal.

              (Also I am an open satanist - their conclusion would not be incorrect, which is in part why I chose this username)

                  Magical practice has very little (or in my case nothing) to do with modern satanism, it’s a secular philosophy set in counterpoint to the more damaging mainstream religions. My patron within the organization is named Loki though, he’s quite nice.

                  Although I fail to see how I’m asserting any kind of superiority over another person’s beliefs - just their actions in not being honest with their friend.
