Christ, a symbol of the self

So far jung has discussed this idea of good and evil. He's very particular on how they are related and how christianity has conceptualized it. His viewpoint, he claims, is cultivated from studying his patients and literature. He also challenges the idea that good and evil are separate as it is in christianity such as the split between god and the devil.

I'm still not clear what he's saying to the point where I can translate it comfortably to my own understanding. What I think is happening is he's making a comparison to the idea of the self to the idea of god. He notes that good and evil generate from a similar vein in his experience examining people's psyche.

To him, christianity sees the self as the creator of good and evil comes about not from the self but, in some way that is hard to describe, from the absent of self. This seems absurd because of how jung sees how people work. The actions people make are informed by the collective unconscious working together in a contained and reflexive system.

I somewhat trust that jung has insight into things that seem obscure to me--however his whole rational is one I've run into in philosophy--it especially was particular to older works and maybe not as prevalent today--but it is the idea that everything has an opposite and that each opposite is responsible for the other's being. And this is something jung sits on if this would be taken away would make a lot of his reasoning incoherent.

But to me it seems distasteful. Basically it applies qualities to a number that seems aesthetically pleasing. The idea of 2 in this case. I think it can lead to false assumptions and it might inform a lot of things that would appear to be true after one excepts this notion of duality and truth but not because it is pleasing.
