Very moved at Dr Strubel's lecture:
"To every call there is a temptation alongside with it."
To integrate the shadow and be guided by the unconscious, and yet the ego needs to do the rational thoughts and make a conscious decision comparing with the reality and the intuition and power from the unconscious.
When the dove of the holy spirit rest on Jesus, upon God's call "you are my beloved son", the status and the mission comes also the temptation, and the holy spirit guide Jesus to the dessert and be tempted with wealth, food/instincts and needs satisfaction, power.

Good to read your words after a long hiatus.
Dr Strubel's words are strong and should be carefully considered by all.
I must admit the second paragraph is a daunting read!
Perhaps I am off topic here, we are all called along a different path. The temptations present appear when humans take on more than we are capable of.
Consdier the Primacy of Conscience Heresy.
This heresy says that every individual has the right, if not the complete obligation, to nullify, or change the moral law according to his conscience and to apply that change not only to his own life but to the public arena. The truth is that man is forbidden by God to nullify or change the moral law.
Moral relativism is rampant in nearly all socieities, and is likely the greatest source of evil in this world. Dictators can murder on a wim, business people will plot to earn millions of dollars off of unsuspecting investors, all from moral relativism.
Thank you for provoking us to think and ponder the Lord's mission for all His children.
