SUMMARY:Eros\, Love and Power
DESCRIPTION:Eros\, Love and Power\n\nPresented by\nCharlene M. Henry\, LCSW
 \, Diplomate Jungian Analyst\n\nSunday\, May 2\, 2021\, 4:00 - 6:00 pm PDT
 \n\nThis program will not be recorded.\n\n"Where love reigns\, there is no
  will to power\; and where the will to power is paramount\, love is lackin
 g. The one is but the shadow of the other. " (Jung CW 7\, par. 78)\n\nIn 1
 959\, Jung spoke about the world situation in which “…humanity\, as ne
 ver before\, is split into two irreconcilable halves.” (CW 9 ii\, par 12
 6) Of course\, this process has been happening for hundreds of years. But 
 today\, as we look at and are affected by the many oppositions and the gre
 at tension in the world\, we can no longer sit back and ignore these. The 
 fate of humanity and the planet are in question.\n\nRather than looking on
 ly for outer solutions or for others to rescue us\, more of us must look w
 ithin as individuals to find those splits and to find ways to resolve them
 . The outer world carries the projections of what we all carry within. In 
 the Red Book Jung says\, “Life does not come from [outer] events\, but f
 rom us. Everything that happens outside has already been.” (Red Book rea
 der’s edition\, p.152)\n\nJung’s own suffering from the splits within 
 himself and his “confrontation with the unconscious” have gifted us wi
 th insights into the composition and working of the psyche. The choice is 
 now ours as to whether or not we learn from the wisdom of this suffering.\
 n\nIn this presentation\, we will look at what is meant by the “splits i
 n the psyche” with particular emphasis on love and power. As in other op
 positions\, each side has value. Can we see the value in both? What result
 s from rejecting one side or the other? What happens to that side which we
  reject? Are we taking away or adding to the great split in the world? Wha
 t is our responsibility to the well-being of ourselves and to the world? I
 n addition\, we will look at the how the feeling function and Eros can hel
 p us to find our way in dealing with these splits.\n\nLearning objectives:
 \n\nAnalyze and understand Jung's statement\, "The opposite of love is pow
 er."\n\nGive four examples of how Eros is differentiated from love in myth
 ology\, religion\, and real life experiences.\n\nList and identify differe
 nt aspects of the concept of power.\n\nExplain the significance of the fee
 ling function in the development of morals and ethics.\n\nCharlene M Henry
