The Mystic Jung: Toward the Recovery of “Lived” Religious Experience
December 11, 1987 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm PST
Jung once commented on the rich and unusual spiritual heritage we have on this continent as inheritors of European, Black, and Native American psyche. As a clergyperson, analyst, and student of Native American spirituality, Dr. Gibson will suggest something of the centrality of a recovered and invigorated mystical spirituality for our era.
Through personal reflection, clinical anecdote and case study slides, this lecture will present an overview of Jung’s mystical worldview. Jung’s borrowing from and unique integration of, especially, mystical methodologies from the Judeo-Christian West will be featured in the light of the work of significant living Judeo-Christian mystics such as Matthew Fox.
