Many people have an aptitude for religious experience and
spirituality but don't know how to develop this or take it further.
Modern societies offer little assistance, and traditional religions
are overly preoccupied with their own organizational survival.
"Minding the Self: Jungian meditations on contemporary
spirituality" offers suggestions for individual spiritual
development in our modern and post-modern times. Here, Murray Stein
argues that C.G. Jung and depth psychology provide guidance and the
foundation for a new kind of modern spirituality.
Murray Stein explores the problem of spirituality within the
cultural context of modernity and offers a way forward without
relapsing into traditional or mythological modes of consciousness.
Chapters work towards finding the proper vessel for contemporary
spirituality and dealing with the ethical issues that crop up along
the way. Stein shows how it is an individual path but not an
isolationist one, often using many resources borrowed from a
variety of religious traditions: it is a way of symbol, dream and
experiences of the numinous with hints of transcendence as these
come into personal awareness.
"Minding the Self: Jungian meditations on contemporary
spirituality" uses research from a wide variety of fields, such as
dream-work and the neuroscience of the sleeping brain, clinical
experience in Jungian psychoanalysis, anthropology, ethics, Zen
Buddhism, Jung's writings and the recently published "Red Book." It
will be of interest to psychoanalysts, Jungian scholars,
undergraduates, graduate and post-graduate students and anyone with
an interest in modern spirituality."
