______________________________
The living spirit grows and even outgrows its earlier forms. It chooses the men [sic] who
proclaim it and in whom it lives. This living spirit is eternally renewed and pursues its goal in
manifold and inconceivable ways throughout the history of mankind. Measured against it, the
names and forms which men have given it mean very little; they are only the changing leaves
and blossoms on the stem of the eternal tree.
C. G. Jung
_______________
Head With Horns
Paul Gauguin
_______________
Only on the basis of such an attitude which tries with charity and forbearance
to accept even the humblest things in one‟s nature, will a higher level of
consciousness and culture become possible. This attitude is religious in the
truest sense and therefore therapeutic, for all religions are therapies for the
sorrows and disorders of the soul.
(Jung in Commentary on the Secret of the Golden Flower as quoted in Ulanov, 1999, p. 27)
_______________
Spirit of the Dead Watching
Paul Gauguin
_______________
A human being is part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and
space. [S]He experiences himself, [her]his thoughts and feelings as something
separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of [her]his consciousness. This
delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to
affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from
this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and
the whole of nature in its beauty.
Albert Einstein

Possible Future Trends Regionally and Internationally
_______________
I. A Renewed, Passionate Inquiry into Animate
Inter-subjectivity--Intra-psychically, Collectively and
Cosmically
_______________
Active imagination is the art by which one may make a conscious relationship between one‟s
inner world of fantasy, symptoms, anxieties, and loneliness and one‟s outer idealism and
conscious attitudes. The meeting of these two realms is the true goal of human
consciousness, and they have the effect of tempering each other and creating a much prized
synthesis when brought close to each other. Each age has devised a means of making peace
between these two realms: yoga, meditation, prayer have all been means of making this
synthesis. Dr. Jung devised the art of active imagination as being particular suitable for
modern people.
Robert Johnson [Program liner note for 1985 CJJS]
_______________
In this book (Yeats, A Vision), the 28 phases of the moon represent
soul development reflecting a theory of reincarnation first mentioned
by Plato in The Republic, which says we reincarnate out of love for the
planet and for a specific benevolent mission.
Anne De Vore [CGJS Spring 1991]
_______________
II. The need for more body in language
and more poetry in the body
_______________
Words are slippery planks set on a marsh; we must step on
them lightly, pass over them swiftly; less they sink beneath us.
Montaigue [McNeil, JRH, 1998, 333]
_______________
For alchemy, A. Waldstein states, is ―a ‗Saturnian‘ mysticism in
love with deliberation, depth, and concentration, all qualities
radically alien to the modern world.‖
Francoise Bonardel [in Faivcre/Needleman, 73]
_______________
Knowing, however, has a power of its own. . an aspect of
the imagination is transformation and transformation is the
core process of alchemy. Alchemy does not simply seek
to know things but to transform them as well.
Raff, Wedding, 12
_______________
III. The Co-evolution of Divine-Human
_______________
Wo est war soll ich werden
Where it was, let the I become.
Freud [McNeil, JRH, 1998, 333]
_______________
Too late you have learned to know me: When the knowledge
was wanted you had it not.
Dionysos in the Bacchae [CGJS, Winter 1998]
_______________
The ―Gnostic vision‖ contains vivid awareness of shadow
dynamics in the cosmos and, by extension, in psychic life.
Murray Stein [CGJS Fall, 1994]
_______________
Rover Senses Silicates
_______________
The psychological question now is, How do we house this greater subject that takes up
residence in us, radically altering the center from which we live? How do we accommodate
this “tremendous stranger,” or this “mysterious density of being”? How do we, how can we,
live in relation to it?
The theological questions ask, Who has taken up residence within and among us? Who is the
One?
(Ulanov, 1999, p. 244)
_______________
Medicine, education, money, food, energy, media, technology, religion, buildings,
economics--all of those organizing forms that together ought to make culture no longer do
so but instead are making a pathological civilization. The new symptoms are
fragmentation, specialization, expertise, depression, inflation, cruelty, hardness, violence
and absence of beauty. Our buildings are anorectic, our business paranoid, detached, and
abstract and our technology manic. These symptoms indicate the loss of the containment
characteristic of the vessel of soul . . . [we need a] re-evaluation of the domains of the
modern world in terms of metaphor, image, story, and dream.
Robert Sardello
_______________
There is an invisible world out there, and we
are living in it.
Bill Viola, video artist (Pagels, 2003, preface)
_______________
Jaffe‘s Essential Components of Jung
Our evolution after meaning possibly contributes to God‘s evolution.
The reality of the Psyche.
The restoration of meaning to our lives wholly subjective, not objective.

Three Great Themes of Soul in Last Millennium
Scholasticism
Humanism
Hermetic/Kabalistic
(MacNulty, p. 11)
_______________
The ally neither creates suffering nor avoids it. It suffers as we
do, as we work together to unite and heal the wounds of the
Divinity. God is not a perfectly happy Ruler who sends his
[her] happy little angels to make us happy. Such a view is as
revolting as it is common.
[Raff, Healing, 93]

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is
drowned;
The best lack all convictions, while the worst
Are full of passionate
intensity.
W. B. Yeats
_______________
We need some new foundations. We must dig down to the
primitive in us. . . .we need a new experience of God.
C. G. Jung (Ulanov, 1999, 60)
_______________
IV. A Re-invigorated Resolve to Engage in Animated,
Non-Reactive, and Imaginative Political Discourse
_______________
Unus est vas (the vessel is one) Jung, CW 12, 236
_______________
"An oracle concerning Damascus: See, Damascus will no
longer be a city but will become a heap of ruins."
The Prophet Isaiah - Chapter 17, verse 1 NIV
_______________
In recent years psychotherapy, including the Jungian
community, has come under increasing criticism for neglecting
the suffering of the world. Some see such one-sided focus on
the inner life as an escape from the numbing political realities
that confront us.
Randy Morris [GJS, April 1995]
_______________
...the center cannot hold;
mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
the blood-dimmed tide is loosed,
and everywhere the ceremony
of innocence is drowned...―
W. B. Yeats
_______________
All our traditions have committed holocaust:
Ancient Israel against the Amalekites (I Samuel 15.3)
Turks against 1 million Armenians
Germans against 6 million Jews
Americans against 500,000 of each other in Civil War, Against Native Amercians and
against the nuked civilian populations of Nagasaki and Hiroshima
Cambodians against 1 million of their own people
_______________
Will New York City Be Destroyed If It Does Not Repent?
Rev. John Straton, Baptist sermon title, Manhatten, 1917 [Armstrong,
173]
_______________
Why the World Trade Center? Why the Pentagon? Besides the obvious
nature of these symbols, they relate to the prophetic view of future
events. "Bin Laden lives in a symbolic universe which reads
apocalyptically," says another scholar, Richard Landes, director of the
Center for Millennial Studies at Boston University.

_______________
Slay those who ascribe divinity to aught but God wherever you
may come upon them, and take them captive, and besiege
them and lie in wait for them in every conceivable place.
Abd al-Salam Faraj [Armstrong, 335]

mayors May, 1980

Robertson has spoken his heart on the issue of genocide several times.
"The people who have come into institutions today are primarily
termites. They are destroying institutions that have been built by
Christians, whether it is universities, governments, our own
traditions that we have. The termites are in charge now, and that is
not the way it ought to be, and the time has come for a godly
fumigation," Robertson said in the New York magazine.

Lines Written in Dejection
When have I last looked on
The round green eyes and the long wavering bodies
Of the dark leopards of
the moon?
All the wild witches, those most noble ladies,
For all their broom-sticks and their tears,
Their
angry tears, are gone.
The holy centaurs of the hills are vanished;
I have nothing but the embittered
sun;
Banished heroic mother moon and vanished,
And now that I have come to fifty years
I must
endure the timid sun. W.B. Yeats http://www.yeatsvision.com/Phases.html

Fundamentalism exists in a symbiotic relationship with an
aggressive liberalism or secularism, and, under attack,
invariably becomes extreme, bitter, and excessive.

If you are marching, stop marching. If you are fighting, stop fighting. ... My last thread
of courage is to wait, and believe. . . . "I don't count on anything anymore, except
the hope that you will return, and the silent fear that in the end, since we saw each
other, this war, this awful war, will have changed us both beyond all reckoning.

Contrary to what many westerners believe, the Buddhist notion of karma is not of
predetermination, but of the fluid development from moment to moment of certain
consequences from our intentions, attitudes and actions.. . .we are heir to the
consequences of our intentions and actions, not only in a particular lifetime, but over
lifetimes.
Polly Young-Eisendrath [CGJS Spring, 1998]

All passion is a challenge to fate, and what it does cannot be

_______________
A revolution in Training that requires journey-person analysts,
therapists and healers to have mastered, at least, an art form, a
spiritual art form (deep contemplative meditation of whatever
tradition), and a body art form (e.g. Tai-Chi, yoga) beyond
classical analytical curriculums. It would be best if all
professions required this.
_______________
I think that musical training, or training in any art or in art appreciation, is
indespensable for all of us, and especially for therapists. . . .through them [art forms
and personal psychic experience] we can hear the varying tensions of the harp
strings and the fingers of the cosmic musician strumming time and the seasons,
ourselves and our changing cultures into and out of existence. (Perara, Bull,
120-1).

VI. The Cooling of Technological-Species
Hubris/Inflation—Learning a New Cosmic Humility
_______________
In modern life we are swept away by technical achievement which promises to
overcome dark nature. In our exuberance, we lose sight of ourselves as
animal beings at the mercy of a vast and intricate universe we barely
comprehend. We loss our balanced standpoint which would include equally the
achievements of culture along with the facts of our fated, fragile existence. In
our imbalance, we have cut ourselves off from our roots as creatures of nature.
Meador, Uncursing xi-xiii

VII. Moving Beyond Hillman‘s and Jung‘s Polytheism into

_______________
The Burgeoning Green or Solar Era of Matthew Fox
The whole is more valued than the parts.
The universe is an organism.
Things have souls.
Work [our daily lives] not just outer but inner—connects us to the living Cosmos.
The Other is as much feminine as masculine, animal as human, plant as animal.
Mystery returns to suffuse all we do and relate to—the universe is Panentheistic.

work.

_______________
But why need there be an initiation at all? Perhaps it is because men know it but can‟t
experience it, whereas women experience it but cannot know it. Each must learn to
acquire the capacity for experience and for being conscious of the experience
simultaneously. Only initiation as a rite of passage in some form can accomplish this.

The whole world with its turmoil and misery is in an individuation process. But
people don‘t know it, that‘s the only difference. If they knew it, they would not be
at war with each other, because whoever has the war inside [her]himself has no time
and pleasure to fight others.
C G. Jung [ in Perera, Bull, 49]
_______________
My experience as a creative person and a Jungian analyst suggests that
creativity inevitably threatens established order, both within the
individual and within his or her culture, and that creative, shamanic, and
psychotic processes have a great deal in common. Unlived creative life
passes from parent to child ―unto the third and fourth generation,‖ until
someone becomes conscious enough to redeem it.

I am now a a stage of realizing the pretentiousness of thinking

Bion pays homage to the mysticism of old—the Changeless Eternal
Infinite, the all potential formless void, O itself. But he also opens to
a mysticism of changing moments, a dynamic, restless O. We
meet O not simply as peace, but turbulence, even catastrophe. .
.This is somewhat in line with the Hindu idea that the present is
past, dreaming is the present, and inner void the future.
(Eigen, 1999, p. 20)
_______________
For Jung, whole religious attitude is the „“careful
and scrupulous observation of. . .a dynamic
existence or effect not caused by an arbitrary act
of will.‟. . .making the Self. . .into an inner partner.”

If Death Were A Woman
Ellen Kort
_______________
I‘d want her to come for me
smelling of cinnamon wearing
bright cotton purple maybe hot
pink a red bandanna in her hair.
She‘d bring good coffee papaya juice
bouquet of sea grass saltine crackers
and a lottery ticket We‘d dip
our fingers into moist pouches
of lady-slippers crouch down to see
how cabbages feel when wind bumps
against them in the garden
We‘d walk through Martin‘s woods
_______________
find the old house its crumbling
foundation strung with honeysuckle
and in the front yard a surprise
jonquils turning the air yellow
glistening and ripe still blooming
for a gardener long gone We‘d head
for the beach wearing strings of shells
around our left ankles laugh
at their tinkling sounds the measured
beat that comes with dancing
on hard-packed sand the applause
of ocean and gulls She‘d play
_______________
ocarina songs to a moon almost full
and I‘d sing off-key We‘d glide
and swoop become confetti of leaf fall
all wings floating on small whirlwinds
never once dreading the heart-
silenced drop And when it was time
she would not bathe me Instead we‘d
scrub the porch pour leftover
water on flowers stand a long time
in sun and silence then holding hands
we‘d pose for pictures in the last light
