The problem of evil – CD 2 of 2

This is CD 2 of 2, total run time 43'18", of a lecture presented by Dr. Edward Whitmont, MD at the C.G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles. He approaches the formidable subject of evil in a deep, comprehensive, but human and accessible way. He opens by saying that our conception of good and evil is largely based on Christian tradition and the prohibition of evil there. This makes for our chronic internal conflict between the pressure to be good and the facts of of human nature which include both good and evil By contrast, he points to the Cabbalist idea that as long as all elements of the person, even contradictory ones, stay in relationship with each other, there is a harmonious balanced whole.
