S2 Ep 15. Gnosticism & Jungian Psychology
from The Quest: Vision in an Age of Crisis. Jungian Psychotherapy · host Alan Mulhern
Jung knew he had to drop anchor into the historical depths since he felt instinctively that what he was discovering was not just another interesting theory but something that was archetypal in dimension and therefore could be found in many cultures throughout history and even lay in the historical unconscious despite repression and persecution - just as gnosticism lay buried in the sands beneath the Christian surface. This gives Jungian psychology an extraordinary depth, an anchor deep in the world psyche. The underlying philosophy upon which these podcasts are based is in the following book and can be obtained at the link below: The Sower and the Seed Reflections on the Development of Consciousness (Karnac Books 2015) https://rb.gy/xmvpjq
