Perspectives on Change II
This is the second of four articles looking at Change from different perspectives. Yes, four, another has been written since last week.
In
Perspectives of Change II Stephen looks at the crisis of the modern world through the lens of Archetypal Psychology.
The article suggests that we have only cast out the old gods in name and not in spirit. That the archetypes are still deep within us and, being unrecognized, now play out on the world stage in an unchecked manner. He explains how the Unconscious, full of archetypes and complexes and the Conscious mind can only be mediated by ‘Soul’.
This is very much C.G. Jung’s cry to the modern world on the imediate need to heal
its culture or be damned by the demons which, if left unrecognised, are
free to wreak havoc both personally and culturally.
Lastly he explains how a re-connection to our unconscious world enables four particular processes to inform our understanding and thus our actions in the world.
