Towards a 21st Century Model of Psyche: Altered States, Oracles, and Intelligences
September 17, 2021 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm PDT
In the nearly 50 years since C. G. Jung died, great strides in understanding of whole systems have occurred. It is now time to apply a holistic/systemic approach to a Jung’s model of the psyche with the aim of contemporizing our views of the unconscious. In particular, we will look at how ecological formulations offer richer, more complex models of the psyche, revealing a far more interconnected universe than previously imagined. Examples of intelligences in nature will provide potential ways to explore layers of the unconscious not often taken into consideration. This will be augmented by recent studies on altered states of consciousness which have access to types of knowledge not readily accessible in other ways, with qualities similar to oracles from the ancient world, such as the Pythia at Delphi.
