A Taste of Bacon Sir? - The Secret of Shakespeare

[Magda Hassan]

....I lean more toward Freud, in that Freud relied upon much less mystical postulates and fewer undemonstrable ideas like the collective unconscious, which Jung never got around to clearly defining, let alone proving. My impression of Jung is that he was attempting--unsuccessfully--to rescue religion from the clutches of rationalism.

Freud couldn't do hypnosis and therefore resorted to dream analysis. Jung couldn't do logical thought and therefore resorted to mysticism and--dare I say it--mumbo jumbo.

Don't think Freud does logic or rational either...his writing on hysteria and penis envy is pathetic and tragic. He was too caught up playing high priest of his own cult to see through anything other than the eye of his own self obsessed penis. And he knew where the money was and had no intentions of exposing a huge swathe of the Austrian ruling classes as the sexual abusers and predators they were.
