BYINGTON, Carlos Amadeu B.. An archetypical explanation of the crucifixion of Jesus by the archetypical theory of history. Junguiana [online]. 2019, vol.37, n.1, pp. 261-274. ISSN 0103-0825.

The archetypal theory of history (BYINGTON, 1983) follows the work of Bachofen and Neumann with the modification of the concept of the matriarchal archetype as the archetype of sensuality and of the patriarchal archetype as the archetype of organization, both present in the psyche of man and woman and in the cultural Self (BYINGTON, 2013). This theory describes matriarchal dominance during the nomad life of the first 140 thousand years of history (WATSON, 2005) followed by patriarchal dominance begun more than 12 thousand years ago, after the agropastoral revolution, when we became settled societies. Next, marked by the myth of Budha, about 2,500 years ago and by the myth of Christ, 2,000 years ago, this theory describes the beginning of the mythological civilizing implementation of the alterity (otherness) archetype, whose messianic hero preach for the elaboration of human conflicts through the dialectic of compassion. Finally, the article elaborates the difficulty of the transcendence of patriarchal dominance in the implementation of the archetype of alterity. In conclusion, the author tries to explain the reason Jesus did not avoid his crucifixion to implant the heroic mission of transforming the patriarchal God of the Old Testament into the Trinity of the New Testament. ■
