A New Spirit is Growing Up

Submitted by SueM on Thu, 01/12/2011 - 7:23am

Welcome to the new re-designed Web site of the Jungian Center! And praises to Rob Mills, the Webmaster responsible for it! Rob has been as patient as he is creative in undertaking this complex task. I hope you like the improvements: the retention of all the citations in the blog essays, the organization of the essays by both date of posting and alphabetically by title, and the much more obvious, easier-to-navigate posting of comments. It will now be possible for readers to have a “threaded” conversation with me.

A New Ethics for a New Era

Submitted by SueM on Mon, 31/10/2011 - 10:06am

This essay examines the new form of ethics that is implied in Jung's depth psychology and how this new ethics differs in values, goals, features and principles from the ethics that has guided our culture for centuries. It also considers why a new ethics is necessary in this transitional time.

The Blessings in Sacrifice

Submitted by SueM on Fri, 30/09/2011 - 6:00pm

The beginnings of this essay go back to a dream I had several months ago—one of those rare “voice-over” dreams I get every so often—that said “Sacrifices will have to be made by Americans.” When I mentioned this to some students, their responses were uniformly negative, reflecting the common attitude we have in our culture. Given that attitude, the title of this essay surely seems bizarre. As the quote from Jung indicates, I am not alone in thinking sacrifice can be something positive: Jung also saw blessings in sacrifice. This essay examines Jung’s thoughts on “sacrifice” and extends his idea into our current collective situation.
