Carl Jung

  1. In understanding Jung there is no substitute for reading his Collected Works. However, it has to be admitted that Jung's style is difficult. It is intuitive and discursive. Alternatives to the Collected Works, which are voluminous, are several selections, J. Campbell's, The Portable Jung, Ringwood, Vic., Penguin, 1985 and A. Storr's, Fontana Pocket Readers Jung: Selected Writings, London, Fontana, 1983. Jung's autobiographical Memories, Dreams, Reflections [London, Fontana, Collins, 1975] is a necessary tool for understanding Jung, whose theory arose from his self-exploration. A great deal of biographical material on Jung has appeared over the years, including monographs, like that of Paul Stern [C.G. Jung: The Haunted Prophet], which betrays considerable animus. Two biographies, written admittedly by admirers, that you would find eminently readable, are B. Hannah, Jung: His Life and Work: A Biographical Memoir, Boston, Shambhala, 1991 and G. Wehr, Jung: A Biography, Boston, Shambhala, 1988. Explorations of Jung's thought that you may find helpful are: W. B. Clift, Jung and Christianity: The Challenge of Reconciliation, Melbourne, Dove, 1983; E. F. Edinger, Ego and Archetype, Middlesex, England, Penguin, 1986; A. Stevens, Jung, London and NY, Routledge, 1990. An excellent review of the literature on Jung can be found in R. C. Smith, The Wounded Jung: Effects of Jung's Relationships on His Life and Work, Evanston, Illinois, Northwestern University Press, 1996. A range of excellent articles on Jung and Analytical Psychology can be found in R. K. Papadopoulos & G. S. Saayman, Jung in Modern Perspective: The Master and His Legacy, Dorset, Prism, 1991. The therapy based on Jung's Analytical Psychology, is outlined in J. Singer, Boundaries of the Soul: The Practice of Jung's Psychology [Revised], NY, Doubleday, 1994
2. Anthony Stevens argues that Jungian archetypes are associated with the more primitive elements of the brain's physiology, with its phylogenetic development from early reptilian beginnings, and that it is these parts of the brain that are activated in our dreams during REM [Rapid Eye Movement] sleep: A. Stevens, Private Myths: Dreams and Dreaming, London, Hamish Hamilton, 1995.
3. C. G. Jung, Aion: Researches into the Phenomenology of the Self, Princeton, Princeton University Press [Bollingen Series XX], 1979, 11-22

The Enneagram

1. Among the books you may find helpful are: H. Palmer, The Enneagram: Understanding Yourself and Others in Your Life, NY, HarperSanFrancisco, 1988; H. Palmer, The Enneagram in Love and Work: Understanding Your Intimate and Business Relationships, NY, HarperSanFrancisco, 1995; D. R. Riso, Personality Types: Using the Enneagram for Self-Discovery, Boston, Houghton Mifflin Co., 1990; R. Rohr & A. Ebert, Discovering the Enneagram, North Blackburn, Vic., CollinsDove, 1994; R. Rohr, Enneagram II: Advancing Spiritual Discernment, North Blackburn, Vic., Dove, 1995. A fascinating and entertaining summary of the Enneagram you will find in R. Baren & E. Wagele, The Enneagram Made Easy, NY, HarperSanFrancisco, 1994.

5. Romans 8: 35-39 [NEB]
6. I will be drawing upon the insights of Wilber's Spectrum psychology in the following chapters. His approach, which integrates classic developmental psychology with transpersonal psychology, I find helpful. His approach is outlined in The Spectrum of Consciousness, The Atman Project, Sex, Ecology, Spirituality: The Spirit of Evolution, [and the book with Engler]
7. I have developed this paradigm at greater length in Spiritual Development: A Path to Wholeness, CCTC, ?. See also Teilhard, Tournier
8. A separate chapter will deal more extensively with the dimensions of prayer.

5. K. Wilber, No Boundary: Eastern and Western Approaches to Personal Growth, London and Boston, Shambhala, New Science Library, 1979
6. Simple Counselling and Supportive Therapy are helpful at the persona level. Those that address themselves to the ego-level boundary as Psychoanalysis, Psychodrama, Transactional Analysis, Reality Therapy and Ego Psychology. Those applicable at the level of the total organism are Bioenergetic Analysis, Rogerian Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Existential Analysis, Logotherapy and Humanistic Psychology. Those addressing development at the level of the transpersonal bands are Jung's Analytical Psychology, Psychosynthesis and the approaches of Maslow and Progroff. The development of unity consciousness is the concern of Vedanta Hinduism, Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism, Taoism, Esoteric Islam, Esoteric Christianity and Esoteric Judaism.

The Shadow

1. In this chapter I am following Jung's paradigm. I am aware, as indicated in the chapter on Jung, of criticisms of Jung's position, or of aspects of his view of human personality, in particular, his concept of archetypes, the Anima and Animus archetypes and the notion of a collective unconscious. However, I have chosen to deal with the notionof the shadow in the context of his paradigm, as I find it helpful. It should be recognized, however, that various aspects of his position are subject to development and debate.
2. General texts dealing with Jung himself, or with Analytocal Psychology, will explore the concept of the Shadow. You may also find it helpful to read C. G. Jung's Aion, Robert Johnson's, Ownig Your Own Shadow [NY, HarperSanFrancisco, 1991] and Robert Bly's, A Little Book on the Human Shadow [Shaftsbury, Dorset, Element, 1988]. One of the most comprehensive books on the Shadow, a compendium of material from a vast range of authors, is C. Zweig & J. Abrams [Ed.], Meeting the Shadow: The Hidden Power of the Dark Side of Human Nature, NY, G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1991

9. While this account, which has greater literary affinity with the Synoptics, is awkwardly spliced into the Gospel of John, and appears to have belonged to an early non-canonical gospel tradition, its portrayal of Christ is consistent with the redacted accounts of the life and teaching of Jesus offered in the canonical ospels. This incident was chosen, in spite of its ambiguous canonicity, because it so beautifully and succinctly illustrates elements of the approach of Jesus that are present, with varying intensity, in a range of incidents in the Synoptics and in John.

Dream Interpretation

1. Phil. 2: 12-13
2. We dream during periods of REM [Rapid Eye Movement] sleep. Researchers in dream laboratories, working on the average length of different REM periods during a sleep sequence, will wake participants towards the conclusion of these periods to ask them to report on what they have been dreaming: R. L. Van de Castle, Our Dreaming Mind: The Role of Dreams in Politics, Art, Religion and Psychology, from Ancient Civilizations to the Present Day, London, Aquarian, HarperCollins, 1994, Chapters 9 & 10

16. Some have reacted to the terms, Anima and Animus, which Jung used to describe men's feminine side and women's masculine side, describing them as unfortunate cultural stereotypes. Jung, no less a product of his time than we are of ours, used these terms to describe, not merely the contra-sexual aspects of human personality, but the spiritual, or soulful aspects. As I cannot agree that maleness and femaleness are wholly social constructs, though they are influenced by cultural stereotypes, I have retained the use of these terms, recognizing that the phenomena under discussion, are complex.
17. Robert Hopcke, a Jungian analyst, has argued that the Anima in homosexual men often manifests as male: R. Hopcke, Men's Dreams, Men's Healing, Boston and London, Shambhala, 1990

27. It could be contended that the augmentation of our capacity to experience God, in ever more comprehensive ways, is related to an increasing appropriation of the range of dimensions that constitute the self, represented by the progression from ego, to self [integration of ego and shadow], to body-self, to an experience of interconnectedness with others and the whole of reality.
28. In the sense of loving or caring for us differently. However, it would have to be admitted that our ability to appropriate, or intentionally participate in what God is effecting within us, is a limitation related to God's respect for the freedom with which we have been gifted.

8. During the Lenten season in 1972, Solzhenitsyn wrote an open letter to the Russian Orthodox Patriarch Pimen, arguing that the church ought to be the source of moral renewal for society and that it should oppose the notion of the rightness of force by the force of righteousness. He was concerned that children were not able to be taught the faith, that churches had been closed down and that the church in Russia was coming increasingly under the control of atheists and all without a word of protest on the part of the patriarch. The implied charge was that Pimen was unwilling to sacrifice himself for the health of the Church. Father Sergi Zheludkov replied to Solzhenitsyn, arguing that the patriarch had no course open to him other than that which he was following. It was only thus that the Orthodox Church could preserve its legal existence. He contended that Pimen was confronted by an insoluble dilemma, with no middle way between compromise and resistance. He argued that the Patriarch had no opportunity of answering the author in print other than giving up his position, which would put the Church at even greater risk: G.

6. The paradigm used is that developed by Ken Wilber in No Boundaries: Eastern and Western Approaches to Personal Growth, Boston and London, New Science Library, Shambhala, 1981. Wilber argues that there are at least four major level of human existence, each representing greater depth and comprehensiveness. These levels are associated with the Ego, the Self, the Body Self and Unity Consciousness. He argues that a boundary runs through each of these that needs to be removed before the next level, or depth, can be accessed. Where Jung addressed the shadow at the Egoic level, Wilber argues that each level has its shadow and that different therapies are appropriate in addressing this shadow that manifests uniquely at the differently at each of the levels.

8. Jung argued that the psyche is self-balancing self-healing, that is, like the body, it is subject to the process of homeostasis: C. G. Jung, Aion: Researches into the Phenomenology of the Self, [CW Vol 9, Part 2] Bollingen Series XX, Princeton, NJ, Princeton University Press, 1979; C. G. Jung, Two Essays on Analytical Psychology, [CW Vol 7] Bollingen Series XX, Princeton, NJ, Princeton University Press, 1972, A. Stevens, Private Myths: Dreams and Dreaming, London, Hamish Hamilton, 1995, 62-63; A. Stevens, On Jung, London and NY, Routledge, 1990, 47-53
9. There is a sense in which, with the emergence of the ego, there is often an egoic dissociation with the body, particularly in Western society, and, therefore, the need to reconnect with it at a later stage. It is important not to confuse a pre-personal lack of differentiation from a transpersonal, intentional re-connectedness. To confuse the two is to fall victim to what Wilber calls the pre/trans fallacy: K. Wilber, The Atman Project: A Transpersonal View of Human Development, Wheaton, Theosophical Publishing House, 1985; K. Wilber, Eye to Eye: The Quest for a New Paradigm, Garden City, NY, Anchor Books, Doubleday, 1983, 201-246; K.

11. While Neo-Platonism is generally credited with dissemination of a body/mind or spirit dualism, Wilber argues that it was the Gnostics, rather than Neoplatonism, that were responsible for the persistence of this dualism and for the early, predominant influence of the Ascenders, that is, Ascenders whose ascent did not precipitate, or was not balanced by a descent. Plotinus developed Plato's synthesis of a balance, in both his meditative practice and in theory, between an eros-driven ascent through contemplation to the One and to wisdom and an agape-driven descent to the many and to compassion: Wilber, Sex, Ecology, Spirituality, 331-344
