DESCRIPTION
This lecture will contrast Jung’s notion of the Self with traditional theistic approaches to the divine. Describing the range of ways in which the Self may appear within the psyche, we will explore the ways in which Jung’s approach avoids the philosophical problems associated with the idea of God found in the Judeo-Christian tradition, and will show how Jung’s approach allows the development of a personal spirituality rather than one based on doctrine and dogma. We will also examine Jung’s notion of the dark side of the Self in his Answer to Job, and the arguments with theologians this book produced.

The C.G. Jung Club of Orange County provides quality educational programs designed to promote the study and discussion of Jungian Psychology, also known as Analytical Psychology. The programs elaborate and amplify the ideas of C.G. Jung by exploring diverse perspectives of Jungian Psychology, as well as a wide range of subjects studied by Jung and his followers, such as mythology and comparative religion. We seek to understand the human psyche through the psychological theories and therapeutic methods pioneered by C.G. Jung and the current use of Jungian concepts by contemporary Jungian analysts.
