Dying and Resurrected Gods: Archetypal Manifestations of Psychological Need

By Ralph Monday

He who speaks with primordial images speaks with a thousand tongues… (Carl Jung)

Every culture that is examined, whether ancient or modern, has the concept of a dying and resurrected god. The manifestation takes many forms and is as primal as the unconscious recognition of the deep spiritual meaning grafted onto the vernal equinox, the present religious veneer just as superficial and with as little "true" depth as a drying stream.

Jesus merely being the last of the dying/resurrected god myths and perhaps the one with the shiniest chrome on the bumpers because of that.
