SUMMARY:The Soul Aroused at the End of Life:  Embracing Life's Final Myste
 ry (37th Annual Jungian Conference)
DESCRIPTION:"Seen in correct psychological perspective\, death is not an en
 d but a goal\, and life's inclination toward death begins as soon as the m
 eridian is past."\n~ C.G. Jung\, commentary on The Secret of the Golden Fl
 ower\nC.G. Jung believed that a spirit of humility and submission\, essent
 ial in preparing ourselves to live fully\, is also required if we are to p
 repare ourselves for death. He advised that it was neither normal nor heal
 thy to shrink away from death and thereby rob life's second half of its pu
 rpose. In this conference we will explore our heightened sense of mortalit
 y in life's second half\, a time when the ego's sovereignty must be transc
 ended to allow transforming insights to surface.\n\nThe way we hold dying 
 and death influences our capacity to live fully. Can anyone truthfully cla
 im to have come to terms with death? If so\, what insights and experiences
  have been reported as central to conscious acceptance of death? How can i
 nsights that emerge while dying illuminate our work with all patients and 
 our own lives? We will discuss the notion that death is not the essential 
 tragedy - more tragic than death is a life unlived.\n\nUsing Jung's writin
 gs on the soul and death in his Collected Works\, volumes 8 and 14\, as we
 ll as clinical experience with dying patients\, we will discuss:\n\n 	the 
 soul's return to its source as a joyous event\, a wedding\, a Mysterium Co
 niunctionis.\n 	the descent into the unconscious and the dreams of the dyi
 ng\n 	the difference between an appropriate death and an appropriated deat
 h\n 	recent approaches to conscious dying and end of life counseling\n\n
 ​​There will also be time for discussion of personal perspectives and 
 clinical examples from our own work.\n\nCharles Garfield\, PhD was an at-l
 arge Board member at the C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco from 2001-20
 07. He is a Clinical Professor of Psychology\, Department of Psychiatry\;
