Title #66. Jung's monumental study analyzed, paragraph by
paragraph. Profusely illustrated with alchemical drawings and art
works of all ages. From lectures originally presented over a
six-month period to the C.G. Jung Society of Los Angeles.
"Edinger has greatly enriched my understanding of psychology
through the avenue of alchemy. No other contribution has been as
helpful as this for revealing, in a word, the anatomy of the psyche
and how it applies to where one is in his or her process. This is a
significant amplification and extension of Jung's work. Two hundred
years from now, it will still be a useful handbook and an inspiring
aid to those who care about individuation." -- Psychological
Perspectives
The Biblical Psalms are the great treasury of Judeo-Christian
spirituality. Yahweh dwells within them. Psychologically, this
means that the living presence of the Self animates the Psalms,
which therefore have the power to constellate the archetype of the
God-image in those individuals who are receptive to their
influence. Even many self-professed irreligious people have been
astonished to discover that certain Psalms were the only texts that
spoke to their condition during a period of grave psychic upheaval.
Today, traditional Judeo-Christianity is at a crucial turning
point. But the poetry of the Psalms still rewards the effort to
understand and relate their message to individual, contemporary,
psychological experience. Originally a lecture series, The Sacred
Psyche resonates with Dr. Edinger's heartfelt, deeply honest
responses to these powerful texts.
Seminal work by the author of Ego and Archetype, proposing a new
world-view based on the creative collaboration between the
scientific pursuit of knowledge and the religious search for
meaning.
Title #71. Jung's Aion laid the foundation for a whole new
scholarly discipline that could be called archetypal psychohistory.
It applies the insights of depth psychology to the analysis of
cultural development, here focusing on the idea of the God-image,
or Self, as it has evolved over 2,000 years of Western thinking. An
edited transcript of the lecture series given at the C.G. Jung
Institute of Los Angeles, 1988-89.
Edinger puts a human face on the union of opposites in two concise
essays: "Introduction to Jung's Mysterium Coniunctionis" and "A
Psychological Interpretation of the Rosarium Pictures"--the
alchemical drawings on which Jung based The Psychology of the
Transference.
This title in Studies in Jungian Psychology by Jungian Analysts is
number 90 and was originally a lecture series given at the Jung
Institute in Los Angeles in which Dr. Edinger performed a
psychological commentary on the so-called prophetic books contained
in the Old Testament. His conclusion is a dichotomy of the
importance of collective history as well as individual history to
the Jews, and is a means of discovering transpersonal purpose in
life.
Answer to Job, dealing with the transformation of God through human
consciousness, contains the essence of the Jungian myth. This
erudite and down-to-earth study evokes that essence with unequaled
clarity. Edited transcripts of seminars given at the Jung Institute
of Los Angeles.
C. G. Jung saw in the cultural history of Western man a progressive
evolution of its God-image. During the last ten years of his life,
he wrote a series of remarkable letters about the new God-image
which is now emerging through the discoveries of depth psychology.
Dr. Edward Edinger has selected fourteen of these letters to
discuss and has segmented the book into the following three parts:
Epistemological Premises - Modern man's new awareness of
subjectivity; The Paradoxical God - The nature of the new God-image
as a union of opposites; and Continuing Incarnation - How the new
God-image is born in individual men and women.
Examines an individual's journey toward psychological wholeness,
known in analytical psychology as the process of individuation.
Regarded as a task of the second half of life, individuation brings
the ego into a conscious and balanced relationship with the self,
the organizing principle of the total psyche. Edward Edinger traces
the stages of this process and relates them to the search for
meaning through encounters with symbolism in religion, myths,
dreams and art. In particular he explores the relationship between
Jung's concept of individuation and Christianity, revealing the
relevance of Christian symbolism for the modern psyche. For
contemporary men and women, Edinger believes, the encounter with
the self is equivalent to the discovery of God. The resulting
dialogue between the ego and the archetypal image of God is an
experience that changes the individual's worldview and makes
possible a new and more meaningful way of life.
Zeus, Aphrodite, Apollo, Artemis, Athena -- do the gods and
goddesses of Greece have anything to say to us that we haven't
already heard? In this book, based on a series of his lectures, the
eminent Jungian analyst and writer Edward F. Edinger revisits all
the major figures, myths, oracles, and legends of the ancient Greek
religion to discover what they can still reveal -- representing, as
they do, one of the religious and mythic foundations of Western
culture. Building on C. G. Jung's assertion that mythology is an
expression of the deepest layers of mind and soul, Dr. Edinger
follows the mythic images into their persistent manifestations in
literature and on into our modern lives. He finds that the gods
indeed continue to speak as we grow in our capacity to listen and
that the myths express the inner energies within all of us as much
as ever. Heracles is eternally performing his labors, Perseus is
still confronting the Medusa, Theseus is forever stalking the
Minotaur, and Persephone is still being carried off to life in a
new realm.
The collective belief in the End of the World, as described in the
Biblical Book of Revelation, can be seen in public reaction to
terrorist outrages such as those of Sept. 11, in the preoccupation
with disasters, in the obsession with UFO's and the possibility of
encountering extra-terrestrial life, and in the breakdown of social
structures. Edinger argues that this very real psychological force
is vitally important for our times, and he offers an alternative to
catastrophe through understanding the meaning of these radiant
scriptures.
