CIVILIZATION IN TRANSITION 7
TRUTH AND POWER
The Delicate Dance of Integrity November 1-4, 2018
Hotel Santa Fe
Santa Fe, New Mexico |
| | We should know what our convictions are, and stand for them. Upon
one's own philosophy, conscious or unconscious, depends one's ultimate
interpretation of facts. Therefore, it is wise to be as clear as
possible about one's subjective principles. As the man is, so will be his ultimate truth.
—C.G. Jung Coined
by the Quakers in the 1950’s, ‘’speaking truth to power” is not a new
concept, but it has taken on new relevance in the turbulent post-truth era. Current
debate seems most often framed by appeals to emotion disconnected to
facts, and counteracting this troubling trend requires that we galvanize
our courage to speak up, speak out, and be heard. As we witness
increasing polarization, insults and sarcasm move us farther and farther
from the cooperation needed to find solutions, and it is tempting to
give up trying to be heard. With our future dependent on successful
dialogue, we can no longer recoil from the challenge we face. Speaking
up to powerful forces—and finding space for meaningful idea
exchange—begins by standing in our integrity, speaking from our center,
and listening with an open heart and mind. Never has there been a more
urgent need for civil discourse about the problems facing our nation and
the world. Civilization in Transition 7 will explore and address possible ways to transcend the polarization in our lives and make a difference in the world. This
conference is open to the public, clinicians, and analysts. The
conference will focus on underlying elements that drive individual
motivation and behavior, the reasons for escalating discord in society,
and the dangers of unresolved disagreement. Mental Health Professionals
will focus on techniques for positive communication and collaboration,
and the therapist’s ability to assess and manage irrational and
destructive communication in their clients’ interactions, as well as
with their own interactions with discordant individuals and groups. Join us in Santa Fe for what promises to be a stimulating and provocative weekend. |

The Metamorphosis of the Gods: Archetypal Astrology and the Transformation of the God-Image in The Red Book
Featuring Keiron Le Grice
9/26/18 at 11AM Eastern US Time
The Asheville Jung Center is very pleased to announce an upcoming webinar about the new book Jung’s Red Book for Our Time: Searching for Soul under Postmodern Conditions Volume 2
hosted by the co-editors Murray Stein and Thomas Arzt. In this webinar
they will bring in Keiron Le Grice to speak about his chapter titled
“The Metamorphosis of the Gods: Archetypal Astrology and the
Transformation of the God-Image in The Red Book.” A broader
consideration of the significance of Jung’s Red Book must take into
account the historical moment in which it was created. If it is relevant
not only to Jung himself, as the articulation of a personal mythology,
but also to Western civilization at large, then we must turn our focus
to the evolution of the modern West as revealed in its major historical
and religious transitions. One way this might be done, in keeping with
the tenets of Analytical Psychology, is to consider the archetypal
factors impinging upon the Western psyche and the cultural Zeitgeist in
the late 19th and early 20th centuries, from the time of Jung’s birth to
the creation of Liber Novus. In so doing, we might gain some
perspective on the significance of our own time and our evolving
conceptions of the spiritual dimension of experience. |

What if the Bible were a Dream...
Live from Zurich with Murray Stein!
Wednesday 9/12/18 at 11AM Eastern US Time
Dr. Murray Stein’s new book, The Bible as Dream: A Jungian Interpretation,
looks at the Bible as a Jungian analyst would a long dream series, in
which a personality and a self are emerging and coming into time and space
from out of the depths of the unconscious. The Bible is the story of a
collective individuation process. On September 12th, 2018, we will host a
live lecture where Dr. Stein will discuss his work on this book.
The lectures in this book are a work of respectful and loving interpretation.
The Bible presents a world elaborated with reference to a specific God
image. As the mythographer Karl Kerenyi puts it in writing about the
Greek gods and goddesses, every god and every goddess constitutes a
world. So it is too with the biblical God. The biblical world is the
visionary product of a particular people, the ancient Hebrews and the
early Christians, who delved deeply into their God image and pulled from
it the multitude of perspectives, rules for life, spiritual practices,
and practical implications that all together created the tapestry that
we find depicted in the canonical Bible. Yahweh is the heart and soul of
this world, its creator, sustainer, and destroyer. The Bible is a dream
that tells the story of how this world was brought into being in space
and time and what it means.
