Approach the divine from within your reality

This course will contrast Jung’s notion of the Self (the God within) with traditional theistic approaches to the divine. Jung’s approach to spirituality and religion is based on the importance of the individual’s direct experience of the sacred or the holy rather than on belief, doctrine or dogma. In this course Lionel Corbett will explore the Self, traditional images of God, and the development of your own spirituality.

Course Description

Write your awesome label here.
This course with Jungian Analyst Lionel Corbett will be a study in contrasts between Jung’s notion of the Self and traditional religions. 

Corbett’s vast knowledge of Jungian psychology, religion, history and mythology, makes for a riveting study of many spiritual ideas in these live classes. 

In psychological language, numinous experiences would be the encounter of a human ego with the Self. For Jung the experience of the holy does not need to take a traditional Judeo-Christian form; what matters is the emotional quality of the experience rather than its specific content. 

In this course, Corbett will describe the range of ways in which the Self may appear within the psyche. He will also discuss the ways in which Jung’s approach avoids the philosophical problems associated with the idea of God found in the Judeo-Christian tradition. 

Jung’s notion of the dark side of the Self in his Answer to Job, and the arguments with theologians this book produced, will also be studied in this course.

Participants are encouraged in this course to describe their personal experience of the Self.
