Imo:
History is not Psychology. (Or Psyche.) Psychology is not History.
The Self is not all History, nor is History the Self.
(Even among the aristos.)
The History, in fact, the Histories of the Ideas and Beliefs in and experiences and lives of mutimillionfold believers over thousands of years of time in God are not reducible to the Self. certainly not to some conscious manipulative distractions by Cabal/s.
To consider only our “Judeo-Christian” stream of History: for this to be true, one must reject not only for examples Paul, Augustine, Aquinas, Luther, and on and on, but Moses, Jesus, et al. And what of age-old religious texts, art, cathedrals, temples,…
Jungians (for a century or so) turn the World, History, Life, Others,… into a reflection of themselves, hypertrophes of the Self. All the World, all of Nature, all of History — and “God” — are not the Self mistaking projections of Itself.
All humans, the aristos or polloi, live inside “History”.
The History/ies of the World, and the Idea/s of God, be it among the best, the modest, or the worst, and all of the beliefs and rituals and theophanic experiences all throughout the histories of societies throughout time in the World, are not reducible to the Self, and manipulative cabals.
Just simply not.
