The term "psychological" we mean the tendency to bring every kind of systematic explanations of phenomena psychological character. This trend is not new in the Western world. It is basically just a special case of 'humanism', designed according to the sense of the word, such as the reduction of everything purely human elements.
.
From psychology to subconsciousness
Not only that, the psychologist implies a very narrow conception of the same individual human being and its possibilities, as the psychology "classic" was limited to consider some of the more outward manifestations and surface of the 'mental'. For this, let us note in passing, we wish to distinguish the two terms "psychic" and "psychological", retaining the first of its etymological meaning, which is incomparably larger, since it can be applied to all the elements 'thin' individuality, while only a very tiny part of them fall within the domain instead said "psychological." these circumstances, should not really surprise the character of the majority of children taken from psychology explanations for things that are not at all within its competence, such as religion. Neither the term 'child' is to suggest that these explanations are always completely harmless: they are instead a part of them at the efforts made by the anti-conventional spirit to destroy any sense of reality over-human. But today there is to consider the other: there is an aggravating factor established by the invasion of the subconscious psychology, which, extending, yes, its domain, but only to the low risk of mixing everything that touches the worst manifestations of the psyche than most. Here we must make a major general. Of "traditionalists" misguided inconsiderately rejoice in seeing that modern science comes from the narrow limits in which the closing date his views to take a less "materialistic" than it had in the last century. They do not realize that in reality it is just a new stage in the logical development of the second floor that brings about the progressive deviation of the modern world. Materialism has played a part in this plan, but now the outright denial that it represents has become insufficient. It has served to ban the man access to the highest possibilities of his nature, but by itself does not have the power to unleash the forces below which alone can carry out the work of disorder and dissolution . Due to its very limit, the non-materialistic attitude is still a danger that small-scale, if I may say so, his own "thick" preserves those who adhere to certain subtle influences and ensures, in this regard, a kind of immunity similar to that enjoyed by the shellfish which remains closely enclosed in its shell. But if this shell - that is, here, the set of conventionally accepted scientific thinking - so an opening at the bottom, as has been said about the new trends of psychology, these destructive influences into it immediately and with great ease, because, because of the negative work done in the previous phase, there is no evidence of a higher order may intervene to oppose their action.

Phase materialistic and subversive that
so one could say that the period of materialism is merely a kind of preparation teorica, mentre quello del psichismo inferiore successivo rappresenta già un fase attiva che si svolge in un capovolgimento della vera realizzazione spirituale. V'è assai più di una questione di vocabolario nel fatto, già in se stesso molto significativo, che la psicologia attuale considera sempre il solo «subcosciente», e mai il «supercosciente», il quale logicamente dovrebbe essere il suo correlativo. Anche se coloro che usano una tale terminologia non se ne rendono conto, qui si palesa chiaramente una estensione attuatasi solo verso il basso. Come sinonimo o equivalente di «subcosciente», alcuni usano perfino il termine «inconscio» che, preso alla lettera, sembrerebbe riferirsi ad un livello even lower, but actually refers more or less the same order of things. If what it was really unconscious, does not look as if he could speak, and especially in psychological terms. As things stand though, that detect the singular delusion that leads psychologists to consider the more "depth" of states, as they are simply inferior. There is, in this, already a sign of belief to meet, consequently, the spirituality, which alone can be said really deep, because it only refers to the beginning and at the same center of being? We also note that, by appealing to the "subconscious" psychology tends to meet the "metapsychical," in which, by coincidence to say the very least bizarre, some "spirituality" today are placing unjustified hopes so, as those which the reorientation of ordinary science inspires them. Similarly, the "science of the subconscious" approaches inevitably high spiritualism and things more or less like that, ultimately, all based on the same elements of a dark psyche lower. Given this direction, the 'superconscious' remains, the new psychology, as a stranger and never closed, and when she happens to encounter something that relates, instead of acknowledging his ignorance on the subject, It purported to annex no doubt, like the "subconscious." We therefore find that confusion between psychological and spiritual domain domain, on which we have often called attention, in fact aggravated by the fact that it is done here in terms of what may be the lowest in psychological domain. And that is what is "subversion" to which we referred to the principle. Such a character 'subversive', certainly not to say "satanic", appears in a very particular and equity in psychoanalytic interpretations of the symbols. It is true that the previous school psychologists had themselves often tried to explain to them so the symbols and bring them back to their limited horizons. In such cases, if it was true symbols, traditional explanations, drawn from a purely human elements, disregarding what constitutes its essence. But if it was really human things, there was no question of symbolism, and in using this term is already betrayed the mistake as to the nature of the subject to interpret.
.
Psychism subhuman
This applies equally to the comments made by psychoanalysts, except that here no longer have to speak only of humans but also to a large extent, to "sub-human." This time there is therefore more to do with a simple degradation, but with a complete subversion: subversion and all, even when it proceeds - at least from the standpoint of immediate-only incomprehension and ignorance, is always in himself properly "satanic." Moreover, the general despicable and repugnant forms of psychoanalytic interpretations in this respect, a sign that can not lie. And what is even more significant from the point of view in which we ask, is that the same "sign" is found just in some spiritual manifestations: we should have really good will not to see, in this, nothing more than a mere "coincidence." The psychoanalysts, in most cases, of course, can be unconscious as the spiritualists of what is underneath something. But the ones and others will also appear "guided" by utilizing a subversive desire, in both cases, elements of the same order: that will, which are beings that is embodied in them is fully conscious and responds to intentions without certainly very different from anything that I can imagine that those are only the unconscious instruments through which it exerts its action.

Slum soul
those circumstances, it is clear that the main use of psychoanalysis, that is, its therapeutic application, it is extremely dangerous for those who carry them out as well as for those who exercise it is not these things that you manipulate with impunity. It would not be an exaggeration to see one of the means by which it tends to increase as much as possible imbalance of the modern world. We do not doubt that those who practice these methods, but are convinced of the side benefits of the results. Just this illusion graz.ie their spread was possible, and therein lies the difference between the intentions of these "practitioners" and that the will presides over the work of which they are not that blind employees. In fact, psychoanalysis can not have other effects that bring to the surface all the content in these "slums" of being which constitute what is called the "subconscious." And being, that the human personality, is already assumed to mentally weak, because if it were otherwise, there's no need to resort to a treatment of this species. It is therefore much less able to resist this "flooding" and runs the precise danger of falling hopelessly in a chaos of dark forces unleashed recklessly. If despite altogether fail to escape, it will travel at least, for life, a mark that will be in it, as a "patch" indelible. We know that some people here, as the objection, citing the similarity to the "descent into hell," which is spoken in the ancient mysteries, where it was preparatory to the implementation of the supernatural character. But that treatment is completely wrong, because there is nothing common in both cases, neither the purpose nor the conditions of the subject. We would only talk about a kind of profane parody, which already provides that, in question, a status of "counterfeiting" enough disturbing. The truth is that this "descent into hell 'is not followed by any" riascesa, "is a" fall "into the quagmire," wishing to follow the symbolism used by some ancient mystery: we know that a "quagmire" was on the road leading at Eleusis, and those who fell were the outsiders who wanted the initiation without being qualified to receive it and therefore were not victims of their own imprudence. In the "descent into hell" finally runs out certain personality to be able to lower chances then increase to higher states, the "fall into the quagmire" the less chance you seize her hand, dominate the and end up completely submerge.
.
The "sacraments of the devil"
We have just spoken of "counterfeiting." It is an impression that is reinforced by other findings such as that of the distortion of symbolism reported earlier, distortion that, moreover, tends to extend to anything that involves essentially of the above-humans, as well as the aptitude test taken by psychoanalysts in the face of the metaphysical doctrines of order and even initiation - you can tell, as such, subject to the interpretation made by Jung in the text taoistico which is entitled: "The secret of the flowers of gold," and the other, given by Silberer, the hermetic symbols. But that's not all. There is something else, perhaps even more worthy of being noted in this respect: it is a condition for anyone who wants to practice psychoanalysis to psychoanalyze himself first. This involves first the recognition that someone who has suffered such an operation is no longer the same as it was before or, as we said earlier, it's leaves an indelible mark, according to the same power that is attributed to initiation, but in a certain way in reverse, because instead of a transcendent spiritual development here is an evolution the lower psychic. But, anyway, we are faced with a manifest imitation of a spiritual transmission and almost traditional to the different nature of the influences that v'intervengono, and actual results which do not allow us to suppose that it is reduced to a mere simulacrum without any flow, this broadcast would however be approximated to that practice in a very obscure rule which they refer to the same magic and witchcraft. remains, moreover, a puzzle, with regard to the very origins of such transmission: the invention of psychoanalysis is quite recent, from which they drew, therefore, the early psychoanalysts, the "powers", so to speak, they communicate with their pupils and who themselves may have been "psyche"? This question, which one must logically ask, is probably very indiscreet and it is highly unlikely that it can never be answered satisfactorily. It is however essential to recognize, in this "transmission", another "sign", rather left to the approximations which it entails: psychoanalysis offers, from this point of view, a disturbing resemblance to what we might well call the "sacraments of the devil."
