The Zen poet Masahide writes:
The barn’s burnt down. . .
now I can see the moon.

In this lecture, Dr. McGehee will consider the illusions that the ego builds as defenses against life’s inevitable anxiety and pain. These illusions keep us from seeing the truth, thus leaving us dis-illusioned. What are the barns that keep us from seeing the moon?

I alone become myself. I cannot become myself alone.

This seminar will address the four archetypal relationships in one’s life journey. Those are mother, father, self, and other. Each of us has the same unconscious need for a mother. Each of us has a different experience of mother. This creates what Jung called the mother complex. So it is with father, self, and other. This seminar will address these four relationships and the psycho-dynamic in each.
