The frequent indifference of God, however, would surprise few in ancient Israel--certainly not King David, Job, or even Moshe.
The innovations in belief of Xenophanes and Socrates set God up to be discredited by events despite his very real existence, power, and danger. However, although Plato shared the views of Socrates about God, his metaphysics made provision for value entirely independent of God.
The spheres are forces that we must take into account in human life lest they cause great damage. The spheres represented by Love or Power thus are not merely psychological; they derive from levels of reality not evident in the phenomenal world.
Thus, Jung believed that the denial of the Unconscious by those he called the "super rationalists" could result in a reaction, a reaction of forces kept out of consciousness and left in their own blindness, a reaction that consequently will manifest all the ferocity of the irrational and the primal -- a reaction, indeed, rather like the one that rendered Pentheus limb from limb, a reaction that then looks like a great deal of what went on in the history of the 20th century.
