Seven Sermons to the Dead: Carl Jung's Gnostic Manifesto

Seven Sermons to the Dead is a mysterious, visionary text. Carl Jung relies heavily on Gnostic terminology, exploring concepts like the god Abraxas, and the ancient concept of the pleroma.

C.G. Jung authored this text early in his career, under what seemed to be strange spiritual influences.

Abraxas, pleroma, God, and devil are reinterpreted in Jung's text, and given meanings quite different than the ancient Gnostic and orthodox Christians might have intended.

This video explores each of these ideas in a humorous, entertaining way, simplifying the opaque, mysterious language and symbolism of Jung's work.
