Jung on God and Libido.

"Psychologically, God is the name of a representation-complex which is grouped around a strong feeling (the sum of libido).

Properly, the feeling is what gives character and reality to the complex.

If one honors God, the sun or the fire, then one honors one's own vital force, the libido.

It is as Seneca says: "God is near you, he is with you, in you." God is our own longing to which we pay divine honors."
