🌀 Unlocking The Secrets of Jungian Psychology
Unpacking Jung’s Map of the Soul, delineating levels of religious understanding, the contributions of James Hillman and Marie Louise von Franz, ethics, serial killers and collective shadows.
Few people have shaped modern psychospiritual thought as profoundly as Carl Jung.
Best known for his concepts of the shadow, collective unconscious, and archetypes Jung’s work has created a legacy so rich that scholars devote entire lives to studying it.
When approaching towering intellects like Jung, we often make the mistake of diving directly into their original works, only to find ourselves tangled in a jungle of complexity.
Yet we need not enter this wilderness unprepared.
Others have ventured before us, crafting precise maps to guide us through the dense theoretical landscape.
In the realm of Jungian psychology, Murray Stein stands as one of its most illuminating cartographers.
A Jungian psychoanalyst, author, and lecturer with over five decades immersed in Jung's work, Stein has distilled this complex body of knowledge into accessible wisdom.
His book, "Jung's Map of the Soul," is an insightful introduction to Jung's thought—a compass I wish I had discovered earlier in my own journey.
This past month I had the privilege to have a conversation with Murray in which we unpack Jung’s Map of the Soul, explore Murray’s experience studying with Jungian legends James Hillman and Marie Louise von Franz, delineate levels of religious understanding, and dive deeper into ethics, serial killers, and collective shadows.
