"When I posted my last article on Esalen and its connections to Jung, some took offense at what they saw as miring the good name of a visionary. I have in the past thought of Jung in much the same terms, so it is with genuine dissapointment that I feel the need to relate some pertinent facts about him and his publicly acknowledged work for the CIA. Jung worked for Allen Dulles directly, who was Jung's handler. Jung went by the agent number "488." This is publicly available information, but not well-known. It is also sanitized, only admitting that Jung worked on personality profiles for Dulles on people like Hitler.
What becomes most deeply disturbing about this connection is that we know that Dulles was the first and longest serving Director of the CIA, who oversaw the beginning of the MKULTRA program.
Dulles is widely known to have been a consumate psychopath. That Jung was directly working for Dulles himself as a matter of public record is deeply concerning and suggests that as an analyst, he may have been working on other CIA psychologically related activities, such as mind control of both the masses and individuals."
Jung And His Multiple Personalities
When we read Jung, there is copious reference to his own state of very likely multiple personality disorder. Psychology Today even published an article on "Jung's Split Personalities"
......
Jung, The CIA And OSS
We know from Jung's Official Biography that: "In Jung: A Biography, author Deirde Bair tells us that Jung was “Agent 488”. He secretly worked for the Office of Strategic Services, which was the predecessor to the CIA. His first contact with the OSS was through his patient Mary Bancroft. She worked for Allan Dulles who was the OSS chief in Switzerland and later became the first Director of the CIA. In 1941, during World War II, Jung’s job was to analyze the psychology of leaders. In return Jung became privy to top-secret Allied intelligence. In 1945, General Dwight Eisenhower read Jung’s ideas for persuading the German public to accept defeat. Allan Dulles relied on Jung’s psychological advice, including Jung’s prediction that Hitler would kill himself. Later, Dulles said that “nobody will probably ever know how much Professor Jung contributed to the Allied cause during the war… [and that his work needed to remain] highly classified for the indefinite future.”
