>Jung
It's straight up demonic. Jung revealed that a spirit spoke to him and he gained "insight" from it. Secularist psychology can't be correct because it denies the incarnation and thus the only real example of true human nature as it is supposed to exist. Christ is not some abstraction you can just ignore and still get to truth, our Lord assumed both a rational mind and rational soul in the incarnation so without knowing what Jesus was like it is impossible to know what the correct state is for humans.

Is there any book which refutes the experience of magical, psychic, subconscious, etc. phenomena?
I've observed that after the rise of atheism, a very dubious alternative appeared in the form of supernatural phenomenal experience. It seems that people were so devastated by atheism that they started to embrace any sort of supernatural experience, without any discernment or purpose.
In case you were wondering, I am not a practicing christian and my opinion is not due to abrahamism, the problem of evil and deception is to be found in all religions so don't make excuses.

>But it beats any dogma or religion.
How do you know this? Is this part of your dogma or did you *experience* that it beats all dogma?
>people should only believe what they experienced
What if I experienced a deceiving entity, should I believe the information I receive from it? Your view is just naive empiricism translated into the spiritual realm.

>Many persons find it difficult to reconcile belief in the "ruling of the stars" with belief in free will. At first sight it appears unjust and arbitrary that certain lines of life—even vicious ones—should be indicated by the "rulers of nativities" as the only lines in which the "native" will prosper; and they ask incredulously whether it can be rationally supposed that the "accident" of the day and hour of birth, is, by Divine Providence, permitted to direct and dominate the whole career of an intelligent and responsible being. But this objection is superficial, and the result of incomplete knowledge. For the difficulties of astrological science, if viewed in the light of Karmic Predestination or Fate, not only disappear, but give place to the unfoldment of a most lucid and admirable system of responsible causation. There is but one hypothesis capable of solving the enigma of Fate, and that hypothesis is a doctrine common to all the greater schools of thought—Vedic, Buddhist, Kabbalistic, Hermetic, Platonic,—the hypothesis, to wit, of multiple existences, or the doctrine of the Metempsychosis. Destiny, in the view of these philosophies, is not arbitrary, but acquired. >Every man makes his own Fate; and nothing is truer than the saying that "Character is Destiny. For that which in one existence is Will, becomes in the next Fate. By the hands of men themselves, then, are their natal lines cast, whether in pleasant and virtuous, or in painful and vicious paths. For in what manner soever an ego conducts itself in one existence, by that conduct, by that order of thought and habit it builds for itself its destiny in a future existence. And the ego is enchained by these pre-natal influences, and by them irresistibly compelled into a new nativity at the time of such conjunction of planets and signs as oblige it into certain courses, or incline it strongly thereto. Hence "Destiny," or Karma, is said by Hermes to "determine the position of the stars." And if the course so defined be evil, and the ruling such as to favour chiefly vicious propensities, the afflicted ego, even though assuredly reaping the just effects of its own demerit, is not left without a remedy. For the ego may oppose its will to the stellar ruling, and heroically adopt a course opposed to the direction of the natal influences. Thereby, indeed, the ego may bring itself under a curse for such period as those influences have power, for, as Hermes tells us, "no man can escape from Destiny, nor preserve himself from the action of the stars"; but at the same time, the will thus exerted will reverse the planetary affinities acquired, and give a new "set" to the current of the Karmic predestination, so that the ruling signs of the next nativity will be favourable to virtue and to a loftier state. (The Virgin of the World, trans. by Anna Kingsford, pp. 142–43)

>"[...] In 1916 I felt an urge to give shape to something. I was compelled from within, as it were, to formulate and express what might have been said by Philemon. This was how the "Septem Sermones ad Mortuos" with its peculiar language came into being.
>It began with a restlessness, but I did not know what it meant or what "they" wanted of me. There was an ominous atmosphere all around me. I had the strange feeling that the air was filled with ghostly entities. Then it was as if my house began to be haunted. My eldest daughter saw a white figure passing through the room. My second daughter, independently of her elder sister, related that twice in the night her blanket had been snatched away; and that same night my nine-year-old son had an anxiety dream. In the morning he asked his mother for crayons, and he, who ordinarily never drew, now made a picture of his dream. He called it "The Picture of the Fisherman". Through the middle of the picture ran a river, and a fisherman with a rod was standing on the shore. He had caught a fish. On the fisherman's head was a chimney from which flames were leaping and smoke rising. From the other side of the river the devil came flying through the air. He was cursing because his fish had been stolen. But above the fisherman hovered an angel who said, "You cannot do anything to him; he only catches the bad fish!" My son drew this picture on a Saturday.
>Around five o' clock in the afternoon on Sunday the front door bell began ringing frantically. It was a bright summer day; the two maids were in the kitchen, from which the open square outside the front door could be seen. Everyone immediately looked to see who was there, but there was no one in sight. I was sitting near the doorbell, and not only heard it but saw it moving. We all simply stared at one another. The atmosphere was thick, believe me! Then I knew that something had to happen. The whole house was filled as if there were a crowd present, crammed full of spirits. They were packed deep right up to the door, and the air was so thick it was scarcely possible to breathe. As for myself, I was all a-quiver with the question: "For God's sake, what in the world is this?" Then they cried out in chorus, "We have come back from Jerusalem where we found not what we sought." That is the beginning of the Septem Sermones.
>Then it began to flow out of me, and in the course of three evenings the thing was written. As soon as I took up the pen, the whole ghostly assemblage evaporated. The room quieted and the atmosphere cleared. The haunting was over». [...]"

I think the idolators used spiritually based evil drinks in their rituals, all the DMT rituals and so on. It is also heavily being pushed in modernity by people like Joe Rogan with a scientific guise. So it stands to reason that there could be a scientistic-satanic blending of ideas to lead to a type of the antichrist mark which will lead people away from Christ under the guise of improving health. With modern technology you could feasibly create a disease and then provide the only (unethical & evil) cure from it. Placing your health above Christ is basically apostasy already.

Perhaps only in that it had Satan speaking in it.

After seeing the light of Christ I cringe even at the idea of worshiping something else.
