Many people with a strong personal sense of the sacred no longer fin d this dimension within traditional religious systems. However\, new forms of the sacred are to be found in areas such as relationships\, the natura l world\, the body\, our psychopathology\, and within the spontaneous prod ucts of personal levels of the psyche. This lecture will describe some of the implications of the idea that attention to the larger psyche is becomi ng a new religious practice.\n\n\n\nDr. Lionel Corbett trained in medicine and psychiatry in England and as a Jungian Analyst at the C.G. Jung Insti tute in Chicago. He is particularly interested in the synthesis of psycho analytic and Jungian thought. His primary dedication is to the religious function of the psyche\, especially the way in which personal religious ex perience is relevant to individual psychology\, and to the development of psychotherapy as a spiritual practice. Dr. Corbett is on the faculty of P acifica Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara\, California. His book\, The Religious Function of the Psyche\, is published by Routledge.\n\n\n\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://junginoc.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/ 2efa49_af8decbd1d6349c9a262ab9b87f75271mv2-1.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:253@junginoc.org DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:19980320T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:19980320T000000 DTSTAMP:20240824T222816Z URL:https://junginoc.org/events/1998-03-20-hopcke/ SUMMARY:There Are No Accidents:  Synchronicity and the Stories of Our Live s DESCRIPTION:There Are No Accidents:\nSynchronicity and the Stories of Our L ives\npresented by Robert H. Hopcke\n\nFriday\, March 20\, 1998\n\nRobert H. Hopcke's talk on Jung's concept of synchronicity is organized around a single idea: that the meaningful coincidences nearly all of us have experi enced in our lives acquire their significance because our lives are a stor y which we\, as characters\, are living day-to-day. By examining the four aspects of synchronistic events and using real- life experiences to illust rate how such events bring to our awareness the "real story" behind our re lationships\, careers\, work\, dreams and spiritual lives\, Rob is plannin g to demonstrate how synchronistic connections and our archetypal ability to perceive the wholeness around us\, can enable all of us to live out our own unique story with beauty and depth.\n\nRobert H. Hopcke is a licensed Marriage\, Family and Child Counselor in private practice in Berkeley\, C alifornia\, and is the Director of the Center of Symbolic Studies\, a non- profit organization he co-founded to further the study of psychology\, soc iology and religion. Known for his talent in making the work of C.G. Jung accessible to the general public and for his interest in areas other Jungi ans have not yet explored\, he is the author or co- editor of six books\, including his most recent national best- seller\,There Are No Accidents: S ynchronicity and The Stories of Our Lives(from Riverhead Books).

Some forty million American wom en will turn fifty in the few years preceding and following the year 2000\ , joining the generation that began the women’s movement\, who passed th is mark earlier. This personal time of menopausal transition coincides wit h an archetypal time of expectation that brings an openness to change.\n\n \n\nThis is a critical mass of women with the potential to change their wo rld and the world\, and reclaim and rehabilitate the archetype of the wise -woman. In the major mythologies of the world\, these were goddesses of wi sdom\, who were diminished or demonized\, as older women also were. In Gre ek mythology\, it was Hecate\, goddess of the crossroad\, and goddess of t he waning moon\, who represented the third face of the trinitarian great g oddess. Hearing Jean Shinoda Bolen tell us of Hecate\, offers us the oppor tunity to muse upon what it could mean to have this archetype emerge into our individual consciousness and into the culture.\n\n\n\nJean Shinoda Bol en\, M.D. is a psychiatrist\, Jungian analyst in private practice\, Clinic al Professor of Psychiatry\, University of California Medical Center\, and an internationally known lecturer. She is the author of The Tao of Psycho logy\, Goddesses in Everywoman\, Gods in Everyman\, Ring of Power\, Crossi ng to Avalon\, and Close to the Bone. She is currently working on Goddesse s in Older Women: The Third Phase of Women’s Lives.\n\n\n\nShe brings an emphasis on the quest for meaning and the need for a spiritual dimension in life to all aspects of her work\, while also taking into account the po werful effects of archetypes within us\, and family and culture upon us. S he has been an advocate for women\, women’s issues\, and ethics in psych iatry. She is in two widely acclaimed documentaries: “Goddess Remembered \,” the first of the Canadian Film Board’s trilogy on women’s spirit uality\, and the academy award-winning anti-nuclear documentary\, “Women —For America\, For the World.” Her words are published in many antholo gies and recorded on many audiotapes. She lives in Northern California\, p ractices in San Francisco\, and has a son and a daughter.\n\n\n\nLink to D r.

The work is performed by three Jungian Analysts.\n\nIt is w ell known that Carl Jung began his psychoanalytic career as a favored pupi l of Sigmund Freud. They became colleagues and close friends\, but as Jung matured in his thinking\, he found himself increasingly in disagreement w ith Freud leading to a final break in 1923. Jung’s wife\, Emma\, attempt ed to help the two men to reconcile but to no avail.\n\nLionel Corbett\, P h.D.is presently teaching at Pacifica Institute (Santa Barbara).

I n coming to understand the Genesis and Nature of Evil\, we may also come t o insights on who we are and where we find ourselves\, as well as the natu re of reality itself.\nEvil at its most basic level is an obsessive narrow ing of reality. By its nature\, evil denies the larger context of reality and provides a very narrow focus from which consciousness develops. Thus\, evil creates its own world. Essentially then\, evil is not an issue of mo rality\, but one of consciousness.\nThe Gnostic myth of the pre-cosmic err or that generated an inappropriate and obsessive narrowing of reality that we call "creation" became the interest of many psychologists in this cent ury\, most notably Carl Jung\, who saw this process of narrowing reality o ccurring in the development of the human ego. According to Jung\, the ego is born from a vast unconscious pool and then in turn denies its own birth from the larger context. The ego becomes a kind of demiurge who creates a false world of self and jealously guards it\, requiring massive amounts o f psychic energy to maintain itself. His depiction of the development of t he ego resembles the Gnostic myth of the creation of the world and the evi l of the creator God.\nAs a minister for over 25 years\, Rev. Amundsen has been a provocative speaker revisioning Christianity away from the orthodo x viewpoint. As founder of "Living Gnosis\, Inc." and Pastor Emeritus of F irst Gnostic Church in California\, he is one of the leaders of the Gnosti c movement in America.\nRev. Amundsen is the author of Illumination: A Gno stic Handbook and Insight from the Secret Teachings of Jesus: The Gospel o f Thomas\, both published by SunStar.\n\n\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://junginoc.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/ DrChristanAmundsen-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:249@junginoc.org DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:19981204T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:19981204T220000 DTSTAMP:20240824T224802Z URL:https://junginoc.org/events/1998-12-04-skafte/ SUMMARY:Oracular Consciousness in Ancient and Modern Life   DESCRIPTION:Oracular Consciousness\nIn Ancient and Modern Life\nDecember 4t h\, 1998\nPresented by Dianne Skafte\, Ph.D.\nJung sometimes cast the I Ch ing before a session to gain a divinatory reading on the work that would f ollow. He used intuitive skills to such a degree that he was known to desc ribe dream material of his patients before they even told him their dreams . Clearly\, Jung cultivated his own oracular consciousness—the ability t o draw upon inspired sources of guidance beyond the personal self. We\, to o\, can become more attuned to guidance which comes into our lives through dreams\, synchronicities\, messages from nature\, and even random voices overheard in a crowd. In this presentation\, Dr. Dianne Skafte discusses h er research on oracles in many times and cultures. Participants will have an opportunity to exercise their own oracular consciousness in an experien tial practice. The ancient oracles haven’t stopped speaking\, she argues . We’ve just forgotten how to listen.\nDianne Skafte received her Ph.D. from the University of Colorado. For the past ten years she has taught dep th psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute (Santa Barbara)\, and she is a past Academic Dean of that institition. Her book\, Listening to the Orac le (HarperCollins\, 1997)\, has been translated into German\, Spanish\, an d Dutch.

In this ope ning lecture there will be an opportunity to discover and explore the role of the shadow in one's own life and the ways we hide it from ourselves th rough denial and projection onto others. We find the shadow in our dreams\ , and it is not always negative. It has positive sides and considerable be nefits are to be gained from acknowledging its presence and integrating it in our psyche.\nThe shadow is an integral part of the work of Jungian ana lysis and this is illustrated with clinical vignettes.\nValerie McIlroy\, L.C.S.W.is a Jungian Analyst in private practice in NewportBeach\, member of the Board of the OrangeCounty C.G.Jung Club and Program Co-Chair.

It has the hidd en power to either beat up\, burn\, freeze or heal our process. Shame stan ds at shadow's gate bearing the potential to bar our entry or move us thro ugh and transform. When we are able to bear the pain of exploring our sham ing experiences\, we often see shame's function as a "messenger" from the Self.\n\n"Every psychic process has a value quality attached to it\, namel y its feeling-tone. It is through the 'affect' that the subject becomes in volved and so comes to feel the whole weight of reality."

Jung\, the Jews and the Lingering Shadow of Anti-Semitism   DESCRIPTION:Charges of anti-Semitism and Nazi collaboration have shrouded t he reputation of C.G. Jung and\, in some circles\, continue to negatively affect the public's perception of analytical psychology. The Jungian commu nity has attempted to respond to these charges in a variety of ways: joint conferences with Hebrew colleges\, scholarly texts and articles\, dialogu es.\n\nThe shroud\, however\, continues to linger. Why? Dr.Stephens will e xplore the historical facts which constitute the evidence for charges of a nti-Semitism\, some of which are often glossed over\, or rarely mentioned in mainstream Jungian circles. Using this material as a base\, she will th en examine the question of why these charges of anti-Semitism continue to emerge and what the persistence of this lingering shadow "symptom" might m ean for the Jungian community's understanding of itself.\n\nBarbara D.

G. Jung\n\nAs human beings\, we live continuously between at least two realities: inner/outer\, spiritual/material\, subjective/obj ective\, seen/unseen. Adaptation to reality involves learning to live with change\, with limits\, with otherness\, and with the unknown. Maturing\, that is\, the gradual growth of consciousness\, enables us to move toward keener and keener perceptions of reality\, and to make creative choices in terms of that perception. The daily\, moment-by-moment process of sorting and checking and revisiting our experiences in terms of our relationship to reality is the everyday practice of conscious living.\n\nWe have intric ate defense systems against the harshness of reality. Psychological defens e systems range from denial to addiction. Facing these defensive patterns and allowing oneself to experience anxiety and pain in increasingly tolera ble increments can free one from a too rigid or avoiding posture against r eality toward greater participation in life. This process is often the goa l of psychotherapy. Jung's emphasis on archetypal reality adds the dimensi on of awareness of the wholeness of reality and of the individual in which the marvelous capacity to create one's reality through imagination is hel d.\n\nIs facing reality a desirable and viable goal? If so\, what are some tools of consciousness toward that goal? How does one identify defenses a gainst reality? When does one dare sacrifice the defense? How does imagina tion shape reality?\n\nElizabeth will lead our circumambulation of these i ssues\, hoping to deepen our connection to life and to inspire respect and compassion for life-as-it-is\, including each suffering individual.\n\nEl izabeth Strahan is a Jungian Analyst practicing in Fullerton for the past 20 years.

Such woul d be a being whose process of individuation could produce into a fully int egrated Self\, that is\, an androgynous Self\, whose masculine and feminin e principles would be wholly balanced\, integrated\, wed and consummated. Thus Orlando is born from the imagination of Virginia Woolf. In a tale lik e a dream\, he lives his life across four centuries\, mysteriously transfo rming into a woman after one hundred years or so.\nJungian literary critic ism is a psychological approach to literature that helps us to better know psyche and psychological processes through the interpretation of visionar y works.

As a result\, we find a renewed interest in this tale of mythic importance that was\, when published in 1928\, well ahead o f its time.\nUsing film clips\, text readings and other visual and imagina tive images\, this presentation will illuminate the Jungian concept of ind ividuation. It will illustrate the surprising relationship between androgy ny and wholeness as it follows Woolf's tale of her character\, Orlando\, a cross the boundaries of time and scientific reality. Ultimately\, we are l eft with only psyche's reality and potential to contemplate.\nHolly Finche r\, Ph.D.\, received her doctorate in clinical psychology from Pacifica Gr aduate Institute\, where her degree specialized in depth psychology.

She has written many books including The Call To Create: Liberating Everyday Geni us\, The Wounded Woman\, Meeting the Madwoman\, and On The Way to the Wedd ing which have been translated into twelve languages.\nNature's energy ren ews—we can be healed by this energy\; we can create because of this ener gy\; we can be transformed by this energy\; and\, we can tap into this ene rgy again and again if only we will. Nature's renewing energy is the sprin g from which flows Leonard's book\, the address and the workshop\n\nLinda Leonard grew up in the inner city of Philadelphia in a poor family with li ttle access to Nature as we usually think of it. None the less\, she found the solace of Nature's renewing energy in a simple tree\, a blade of gras s\, a squirrel\, neighborhood dogs\, even in Dolly\, the horse that drew t he milk wagon to her house. Leonard's grandmother had reveled in nature as a farm girl but had never visited the Rocky Mountains she longed to see. When her grandmother read Thoreau and Emerson aloud to her\, Leonard felt inspiration beyond words and her imagination began to soar.\n\nLeonard mov ed as a young adult to those Rocky Mountains where\, with a copy of Walden Pond\, she rode out on horseback into the mountains at the end of her day as a news reporter. Wandering in the wilds she began to see many analogie s between the ways of nature and the ways of creating. There she began to learn that she wrote and lived best while doing the very thing her grandmo ther had longed for—being with Nature. In the course of this writing and living she not only started to meet Archetypal figures like the Sower who plants seeds in the earth and in the psyche but also to respect and honor Natrue's rhythms as a model for the creative life.\n\nOver the years Leon ard realized that those same Archetypal figures rising up from Nature were healing for her clients and students and readers—those Archetypal figur es were issuing the call to create.\n\nWhen we create a better life\, or e ven just imagine it\, we are much like the artists and other lovers of Nat ure.

We will also look at the insecurities\, doubts and obs tacles that sabotage our lives—The Hinderers. There is much for us to le arn here because as moderns we tend to have very little contact with the n atural world\, very little respect for it\, and we tend to honor it only i n ways that are alternately superficial and sentimental. These Helpers and Hinderers are not rare at all\, they arise in our dreams and fantasies as well as in our everyday struggles.\nAfternoon Workshop\nIn the afternoon workshop participants will have and opportunity to go inward and become be tter acquanted with those Archetypes we met in the morning—the Helpers s uch as the Sower\, Adventurer\, Artisan and the Lover who stand at the rea dy when we but welcome them. Of course\, we will also have opportunity to gaze more fully upon the Hinderers such as the Cynic and its many cousins including the Tyrant\, the Conformist\, the Escape Artist\, the Star\, the Perfectionist and the Critic who so easily make themselves right at home in our minds and psyches. We will have personal opportunity to focus and e ngage these both privately and in groups of 8 and 10.

Frank\, Ph.D.\nMay 19\, 2000\nAs Jungians we have long become accu stomed to Jung not garnering the respect we believe to be his due in the a cademic world and his not being widely understood in popular culture. We h ave also become accustomed to concepts such as archetypes\, typology and s hadow being bandied about without reference to Jung.\nYet\, we have a very different reaction when we find Jung is the target of accusations which s eem unjust\, unfair or at the very least biased\, as was most recently the case in widely publicized books by Richard Noll and Frank McLynn.\nRather than become defensive\, another way to respond to such attacks is to appr oach the matter as Jungians would a dream or other manifestation of the un conscious - search for its essence\, find the inner truth and discover the significance for our Jungian community.\nIn his lecture Dr. Frank will ad dress our defensive responses to the attacks on Jung of Richard Noll\, who wrote The Jung Cult and The Aryan Christ\, and Frank McLynn\, who wrote t he biography titled Carl Gustav Jung. In their attacks on Jung and Jungian psychology\, ranging from cultism\, identification with Christ\, anti-Sem itism and womanizing\, these authors have stimulated a great deal of contr oversy in the Jungian community.\nDr. Franks' thesis is that if we can ack nowledge the attack-defense reaction that we\, as Jungians\, might feel wi th respect to these writers\, we can see the possibility of a third\, tran scending position. "We can do this if we look at these attacks and our res ponses to them symbolically. I think they represent shadow features of our group\, and they call for renewal of our identity as Jungians. They point to collective unconscious issues that are demanding the light of consciou sness in this transition to the Aquarian aeon."\nSteven J.

Kirsch\, M.D.\nOctober 6\, 2000\nJung's analytical psychology has taken root in many places in the world. Much of the spread has been since about 1970 but in this country it started in the 1940s in three areas-New York\ , San Francisco and Los Angeles. Because analytical psychology developed i n these three cities during Jung's lifetime\, he had opportunity to influe nce the development of these professional groups. Further\, the founders i n New York\, San Francisco and Los Angeles had their analysis with Jung\, many in the 1930s\, and after WWII\, resumed travel to Zurich\, often annu ally. This direct\, close and ongoing contact between Jung and those found ers had profound implications for analytical psychology\, implications whi ch extend to this day.\nInterestingly but understandably\, the development in the three cities differed in significant ways. Dr. Thomas Kirsch is in a unique position to understand those significant differences-he was ther e in more ways than one.\nDr. Thomas B. Kirsch\, the son of two Los Angele s founders\, James and Hilde Kirsch\, came with his parents to Los Angeles from London as a small child so he grew up here in those early times. The n he became a Jungian Analyst with worldwide entree first as President of C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco and then as President of the Internat ional Association for Analytical Psychology.\nLink to Dr. Kirsch's website \nwww.jungians.com\nThomas B.

Jung Institut e of Los Angeles. Dr. Kirsch is a Graduate of Reed College\, Yale Universi ty School of Medicine\, Stanford Department of Psychiatry\, and C.G.

Written not as a "cool and carefully considered exegesis\," but rather as a "subjective reaction" to the text\, Jung raises disturbing questions abo ut the nature of the Western idea of God and about Christianity's apparent unwillingness to come to terms with "divine savagery and ruthlessness."\n \nIn no other work is C.G. Jung more plain spoken\, blunt and to the point . With honesty not typical of many scholarly works\, Jung reveals his own heart and soul. He also leads us on a journey of spiritual discovery with the rigor of his questions.\n\nIn this presentation\, Rev.

In the early part of grief\, and on through the long\, slow winter of mournin g\, we exist with neither guarantee nor even promise that life or love wil l ever come again. And yet\, it can. Our personal loss can become an occas ion for deep transformation if only we surrender to the grieving process r ather than rushing to get through it.\nIn this lecture\, Robert Romanyshyn \, author ofThe Soul in Grief: Love\, Death and Transformation\, describes how the surrender to the grieving process brings one face to face with th e figure of the Orphan. In this encounter with the grieving process our fe eling of personal loss first deepens\; we are embarking on a journey of ho mecoming and relying on the\,figure of the Orphan\, the most homeless of a ll\, to guide us home. Much work needs to be done…homework.\nGrief is ho mework\, and this journey towards home unfolds to reveal our soul's deep h unger for the presence of the Divine. But wonder of wonders\, even miracle of miracles\, we come to recognize that our hunger for God's presence is matched by God's hunger for us. We see the tears of human grief and then f ind their reflection in the tears of God. In this mirroring\, the face of God and our human face shine as the face of the Beloved.\nWhen we endure t he grieving process\, and not just try to rush through it\, we discover we grieve because we dared to love. We further discover that we can love aga in in an expanded way\, less ruled by fear\, because we have taken the tim e to grieve.\nDr. Romanyshyn's new book will be available at the lecture.\ nRobert D. Romanyshyn\, Ph.D.is an author\, teacher\, and international le cturer. In addition to three books\, he has published numerous articles in journals and edited volumes. Dr. Romanyshyn has been described as a maste r story teller who expresses the insights of the soul with the voice of a poet. His primary interest lies in being a spokesperson for the marginaliz ed and neglected values of the soul\, including its longing for beauty\, i ts desire for a sense of the sacred\, and its hunger to remember its insti nctual\, vegetative\, and mineral roots in nature.\nDr. Romanyshyn is a co re faculty member at Pacifica Graduate Institute and lives with his wife\, Veronica\, and two of their four children in Summerland\, California.

From the perspective of analytical psychology\, the pursuit of the mean ing of sexual desire and fantasy leads to an understanding of the individu al and the evolutionary needs of that individual. However\, this can often clash with the belief systems held by a culture intent on eliminating dev iance. Even today\, when sexuality is being perceived as an expression of diversity to be accepted\, the effect may still be to alienate the individ ual from the meaning of his or her own sexuality. Dreams and fantasies wil l be used to illustrate the process of making conscious the demands of psy che embedded in states of desire.\nBarry Miller\, Ph.D.has taught at UC Be rkley and Rutgers University.

Vision is seen with the mind's or spirit's eye and "thing" designates t he most basic\, concrete stuff of reality. "It is a rare leader who can ar ticulate the true vision that fits with real politics."\nDr. Singers' idea for this book grew out of a conversation with Senator Bill Bradley which was followed by a "big" dream which became his guide in assembling a verit able feast of papers from leading Jungian analysts including Joseph Hender son\, Betty Meador\, John Beebe and Andrew Samuels.\nDr. Singer will share his personal reflections and something of his experience with these disti nguished contributors.

After a few preliminary dreams\, Jung taught Christiana how to go into deep trances in order to let her mind form images and visions which could give her more waking access to her unconscious thought and processes.\n\nF or a year\, Christiana produced dreams and visions that she faithfully rec orded in her journal along with paintings of many of them. Jung was so gre atly impacted by the beauty and insight contained in her visions and paint ings that he declared there was enough fresh material for the next two hun dred years of analytic study. He borrowed her journals from 1930 to 1934 f or study in his weekly seminars. Dr. Hedges' presentation will follow Chri stiana's analysis through artwork\, journal entries\, and notes taken at J ung's seminars.

We follow the travels of a yo ung girl who gets a chance to visit the wise old woman of the woods.\nTher e are times in our lives when it seems as if we have wandered off the path into unfamiliar places. At such moments\, mythic stories can offer guidan ce. They show us the significance of dimensions beyond ordinary experience . The key is in reading the psychological symbolism of the imagery in thes e tales. Dr. Young draws on this work with Joseph Campbell and uses the id eas of C.G.

In the last 100 years no force has had greater impact on the music of the West. B ut that’s only the beginning of the story of the blues. When we use Jun g’s psychology to look below the surface\, we find that the blues is tra nsforming not only our music but also our core collective cultural soul.\n The European obsession with science and objectivity is based on an imagine d split between the mind and the body\, As the cultural force of this imag e progressed through the years\, the soul of the West became very ill. The obvious conscious reason that Europeans stole Africans was to obtain free labor. Their unconscious motivation was probably quite different.\nA care ful look suggests that Africans were stolen into the unimaginable cruelty of slavery in order to provide an antidote for the severe split in our cul tural soul. Jung’s theory of alchemy predicts that when the archetypal r ealities of white and black are brought together for the purpose of transf ormation\, the color blue will arise to join them together on their way to resolution in psychological sophistication. Blues music may very well be the cultural force that is bringing the white mind back down to earth.\nDr . Diggs will describe psychologically the history of colonial America\, th e Civil War\, Reconstruction\, the Jazz Age\, the Rock-n-Roll revolution\, and the current Rap phenomenon. The stories of Dionysius and Huckleberry Finn will also be used\nto illuminate this fascinating and horrific "alche mical tale."\nDr. Stephen Diggs received his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology and specialty training in Jungian psychology from Pacifica Graduate Instit ute. He is the founder and director of the Nysa Institute which provides t raining and talks on psychology and psychotherapy. He first presented thi s lecture at the Delta Blues Symposium at the University of Arkansas in 19 95. A later version appeared in Spring Journal 61. James Hillman said this journal article "is written with devotion and sustained deep feeling." St ephen plays blues guitar (poorly\, he says) and often brings it along when speaking.

Given our extroverted orientation\, much of our focus i s on the "other\," on the enemy outside of us. However\, our domestic andi nternalspiritual condition is also in need of serious attention\, and is i nextricably linked with our foreign policy. The same psychological attitud es influence both domestic and international\, inner and outer spheres.

Tod ay\, this heroic ideal is in a state of upheaval. We are suffering\, albei t unconsciously\, from a heroic-identity crisis. What does it mean to be a heroic or great people? It is imperative to our future as a nation and to civilization that we begin to examine this and to understand ourselves.

Be cause we revolted against the gods\, Zeus\, in his wrath\, divided us. The need for our lost other is so powerful that we return again and again see king this original union.\nContemporary physics also emphasizes our indiss oluble connectedness. Quanta of light emitted from the same source maintai n their connection to one another\, and each photon is affected by what ha ppens to its twin\, even many miles away. This quantum connectedness is on e of the most radical of modern scientific discoveries. Such mythic/scient ific accounts speak to the deep intuition in our souls that relationship\, eros\, is at the heart of the spiritual and material worlds.\nAll of us\, in one way or another\, struggle with the difficulties of relationship. L ove always opens us to its opposite\, to its chaotic shadows\, and it may be that learning to love more deeply also implies that we must pay attenti on to the vulnerabilities and sorrows opened to us by Eros’ arrows.

I was inwardly calmed and reassured. ~ C. G. Jung  \n\n\n\n ​As far back as 1907\, Jung proposed a theory that the emotions are at t he foundation of the psyche. \; As primal sources of the higher functi ons\, they motivate and shape the development of thought\, action\, value\ , imagery\, energy and new consciousness. \; We look at the distinctiv e facial and bodily expressions of seven inherited emotions\, each with it s own intrinsic pattern or category of archetypal imagination.\n\n\n\nThe natural process of symbolic development transforms the emotions into a sen sitive network of feelings\, complexes and ultimately the highly evolved e xpressive patterns of human culture. \; These include the ceremonial a ctions of prayer and worship\; the arts\, especially dance that mirrors th e beauty of nature\; the formal\, emphatic gestures that punctuate scholar ly argument\; and the social customs that mediate human relationship.\n\n\ n\nJoan Chodorow\, Ph.

Jung is quoted as saying\, "This opens up whole new avenues of research I'd never even dreamed of... I feel that from now on music should be an essential part of every analysis."  This lecture will explore the fundamental relationship of psyche\, sound\, and music in lecture\, image\, music\, and experience.\nKarlyn Ward\, Ph.D. \, LCSW\, BCD\, is a Jungian analyst in private practice in Mill Valley\, Ca lifornia\, and a member of the C.G.

One is in analysis or one meditates.The goal of each see ms to be different\, individuation in one case and enlightenment in the ot her. While there are particular points where Jung's thinking and that of B uddhism may not be complementary\, a point of unification between the two can be found in Jung's theory of complexes and the strategies he developed for making them conscious and working with their destructive affects. Thi s lecture will explore both Jung's thinking and the Anapanasati Sutra. We will consider how the meditation this sutra describes can be joined with a nalytical tools to form an effective and liberating practice to free one f rom living out complexes as fate.\n\nThe Ānāpānasmṛti Sūtra is somet imes referred to as The Sutra on the Full Awareness of Breathing. Because it carries no cultural baggage\, it provides an excellent vehicle to free one from intense affects generated by complexes. It may even lead to a tra nsformation in the complexes themselves. The lecture will be followed by a n experience of this practice and a consideration of some approaches to in tegrate these powerful contemplations with the analytical practices of Jun g's psychology.\n\nMichele O'Brien\, Ph.D.\,is a Jungian Analyst in privat e practice in Santa Monica.

As they checked the progre ss of their work they watched the contents of their vessels change. In the ir manuscripts\, they comment upon the progress of the Work in esoteric pa ssages and dreamlike\, enigmatic images of people\, animals\, two-headed h ermaphrodites\, chimeric monstrosities and others.\n\nWe know now that the ir quest to turn lead into gold was a deluded physical impossibility. Howe ver\, Carl Jung noticed these same fantastic images spontaneously appearin g in the dreams and fantasies of his analysands. While these modern people were naïve of alchemy\, they were intently focused on obtaining solution s to their enduring life problems. Jung went on to research and write exte nsively about alchemical imagery as archetypal symbolism for the process o f personal transformation and individuation.\n\nThis summer we invite you to a workshop that will explore recurrent alchemical imagery in view of th e work of Jung\, vonFrans\, Edinger and others. Then we will create person al individuation montages by containing evocative objects into special ves sels. These vessels may suggest past\, present or imminent stages in our w ork.\n\nWe have some small\, round-bottomed\, Pyrex\, chemical flasks for use as containers\, as well as sundry other supplies—sand\, rice\, beans . Feel free to bring your own vessels for containment. Embark on the refle ctive process of collection your objects\, dreams\, and compelling alchemi cal images for the workshop.

As a lover of Jungian psychology and mysticism\, I live in a world of particular experiences and feelings rather than abstra ct ideas - heart knowledge.

By understanding the relationship between the head and the heart\, we can avoid the extremes of saying\, "they are all one" or "they have nothing to do with each other."

Soul- making or individuation usually seeks the meaning of life through attentio n to inner processes. However\, some of our most profound instances of sou l-making come through synchronistic experiences which express the same mea ning both inwardly and outwardly\, without one causing the other. This exp eriential workshop will deepen our understanding and experience of both sy nchronicity and soul-making. We will work toward a more powerful connectio n with the intelligence at the core of our being and a deeper understandin g of its expression in our experience of synchronicity. We will clarify ho w this can offer insight into our soul's intent\, the relationship between synchronicity and paranormal phenomena\, and how to cultivate receptivity to different expressions of the psyche. We will also address some of the pitfalls of synchronicity. Through case material\, music\, poetry\, imagin al work\, writing exercises\, and group discussion\, participants will exp lore the dimensions of both intellect and feeling in synchronicity and sou l-making.\n\nVictor Mansfield\, PhD\, is Professor of Physics and Astronom y at Colgate University where he also teaches popular courses including Ju ngian psychology and Tibetan Buddhism.

The Centerpoint Foundation provides the texts for each of three cour ses: Questpoint\, Centerpoint and Vantage Point. Questpoint introduces the language and basic concepts of ego\, shadow\, persona\, anima/animus\, Se lf and the process of individuation. Centerpoint explores and expands the dimensions of these concepts in a sequential progression. Vantage Point is a growing collection of short courses for advanced groups dealing with my thological characters and archetypal patterns.\nMembers of the group decid e the size\, place and pace of study. There is a charge for materials paid directly to the Foundation. No additional fee is charged. The groups are leaderless\, each person participating equally. Five to ten people provide enough energy for sustained interest and interaction while still encourag ing involvement and participation.\nThis introduction is presented by June Fox\, a long-time member of the Club and the current Membership Chair. Sh e has hosted a Centerpoint Group in her home for over seven years.\nThis p resentation includes a typical lesson and discussion.

Jung\n\nIn tribal cultures the shaman is the priest\, healer\, magician\, diviner\, and the mediator between the living and the ancestors. In prese nt day\, we can look to the ways of the shaman to gain insight into the sy mbolic and healing nature of the archetypal psyche. Indeed\, Jung characte rized the phenomenology of shamanism as an archaic precursor to the alchem ist's individuation symbolism. We can see these archetypal patterns expres sed in the iconography used in the Pre-Columbian neotropic art that refere nce shamanic powers and activities.\n\nJoin us for an exploration of shama nic symbolism. Armand Labbé will present a slide-illustrated survey of th e relevant iconography in Pre-Columbian art including examples of shamanic empowerment\, shamans and guardians of fertility\, as well as shamans in soul flight and soul transformation.

TePaske\, Ph.D.\nFriday\, February 7\, 2003\, 8:00 p m\nOpening with a discussion of "The Night Sea Journey\," regarded by C.G. Jung and C.A. Meier as the overarching archetype of initiation\, this lec ture will explore one ancient's experience of this process of regression\, ego death\, incubation\, and soulful restoration. Plutarch's account of T imarchus' visit to The Oracle of Trophonius will be amplified and related to central elements of the progenitor of all mystery religions\, the Eleus inian Mysteries.

TePaske\, Ph.D.\nSaturday\, February 8\, 2003\, 9:30 am ~ 1:00 pm\nCountless millions of ancient Greek speaking peoples experi enced the numinous power of the divine mother-daughter dyad\, Demeter and Persephone\, in the ritual cycle at Eleusis. Sadly forgotten today\, the E leusinian Mysteries celebrated the Soul's transport deep into the chthonic underworld and its spectral return-an archaic religious experience remote from the eccentricity of transcendental spirituality. Seminar participant s will read aloud and carefully explore the foundational myth\, the archae ological record\, and the elusive visionary experience of the mystes.\nBra dley A. TePaske\, Ph.D.is a Jungian analyst trained at the C.G. Jung Insti tute of Zurich. He also holds an MFA in Printmaking and Art History from t he University of Massachusetts. In addition to private analytic practice i n Pacific Palisades\, Dr. TePaske is a Clinical Staff Psychologist with VI P Community Mental Health Center in East Los Angeles\, where he treats chi ldren and adult victims of domestic violence and sexual abuse.\nIt is sugg ested that participants read in advanceThe Hymn to Demeter-ideally\, the t ranslation by Charles Boer inThe Homeric Hymns\,(Spring Publications\, Inc .\, 1979). A good version also appears in the text:The Ancient Mysteries: A Sourcebook\,(Marvin W. Meyer\, Harper &\; Row\, l987). It would also be helpful to read Demeter stories andThe Rape of Persephonein books by Ke renyi\, or Graves.

In a funny but deeply felt se t of meditations on this theme\, James Brooks' award-winning film\, Broadc ast News\, is unusually effective in illuminating the complexes in our nat ional character that sabotage its ethical integrity. This film also illust rates the typology of the American psyche\, a structure that greatly contr ibutes to certain failures of psychological understanding that are particu larly common in our culture.\n\nThe conference will begin with a special s howing of Broadcast News\, which Dr.Beebe will introduce. Jung spoke of th e "figures" in our unconscious life\, and a deeply imagined film may use i ts actors to represent these figures as so many characters\, creating an i ndividuation story as they interact. Broadcast News is such a film\, with a soul of its own that lends itself to psychological analysis.\n\nThe afte rnoon will be devoted to a discussion of the characters in this film and t he complications their lack of mutual understanding presents. Dr.Beebe and the participants will also examine the attitudes this film envisions that typically interfere with the individuation of the American character\, an d how these may be addressed to develop the consciousness we still need\, fifteen years after this film was made.\n\nDr. John Beebe\, a psychiatrist and Jungian analyst in practice in San Francisco\, has explored film from a Jungian perspective in the The Journal of Film and Popular Culture\, Th e Psychoanalytic Review\, The Chiron Clinical Series\, Psychological Persp ectives and DreamTime. His several books include Integrity in Depth. His m ovie reviews are regularly published in The San Francisco Jung Institute L ibrary Journal.\n\nThis conference is to be followed by a 4-part weekly le cture series:  THE MOVING IMAGE:  A JUNGIAN PERSPECTIVE ON FILM\nThe mos t we can do is to dream the myth onwards and give it a modern dress. ~ C.G .Jung\nMovies ensoul our lives. They coax us into the imaginal realm where we participate in story and myth. At the movies we travel the world\, jou rney through space\, fall in love\, witness murder and tragedy\, undergo b reathtaking adventure and laugh with silliness and joy. Much like dreams a nd active imagination\, movies allow the expression and the experience of both personal and collective material. Movies carry us forward into myth i n modern dress: The Moving Image.\n\nThis year\, the C.G. Jung Club of Ora nge County presents our annual conference and lecture series in a combined format to both interpret and\, perhaps more importantly\, experience the potential that is the moving image in film. Join us for a daylong event fo llowed by three consecutive evening lectures\, and a final meeting for inf ormal discussion and community interchange. See you there!

And\, why are the Japanese unperturbed by Hollywood's influence\, while so many Americans hold it responsible for every conceivable problem\, including pa ndemic "psychic numbing"? This presentation will explore a Jungian approac h to understanding the bomb\, cinema\, culture\, and imagery. Primarily we will focus on the image of the child as a harbinger of potential change\, and the presence of that image in films about the atomic bomb. Additional ly\, we will consider the Jewish apocalyptic narrative tradition and Japan 's vision ofthe restoration of balance and harmony through playfulness. Th ough the bomb is a frightening and complex problem\, with no simple answer on the horizon\, it is hoped that participants will leave refreshed with a sense of hope and commitment to the task of restoring the fractured psyc he that is expressed in "Atomic Bomb Cinema".\nJerome F.
