SUMMARY:Why is Consciousness such a Challenge for Humanity?
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop we explore Erich Neumann’s lifelong endeavor— understanding human psychological development from birth to old age – by focusing on the important questions about why we do what we do\, how to change those patterns\, and how change impacts humans’ relationship to the greater Self\, and to “God”. It was Erich Neumann who came up with the concept of the ego-Self axis. Neumann was personally challenged to try to understand the world during WWII and why the psychology of his time changed so radically\, just as it has for us today. He explored the process of normal and changing development through his books\, The Origins and History of Consciousness\, The Great Mother\, Psychology and the New Ethic\, and his more recently published books\, The Roots of Jewish Consciousness: Revelation and Apocalypse; and Hasidism. Neumann’s seminal ideas provide us food for understanding and discussion. We also discuss what happens when the process goes wrong\, as explained in his papers on “Narcissism” and “Mass Man.” Finally we discuss Neumann’s interest in the uniqueness of the “creative individual” and the “nature of creativity itself” through which potent and transformative images and symbols emerge to impact the individual and the greater collective. These ideas will be grounded through examples of artists and their art in a PowerPoint presentation.
