Jung and Spirituality

An exploration of spirituality in the modern world using Carl Jung’s insights Jung believed that a spiritual life lies buried in everyone’s unconscious and could be brought before consciousness with therapeutic results and that rationality and hubris prevented many in the modern world from acknowledging the spiritual aspects of our lives, and repressing the spiritual was as harmful as repressing the sexual. This book contains a series of chapters which explore the applications and ramifications of Jung’s psychospiritual theory. Starting with how to bring back spirituality into religion, it then looks at the activation of ‘earth energies’ and the primordial mind by bringing the spirit back into nature. It proceeds to examine the spiritual journey, dreams, the individuation of god, and the healing power of spirituality.
