______________________________

The living spirit grows and even outgrows its earlier forms.  It chooses the men [sic] who proclaim it and in whom it lives.  This living spirit is eternally renewed and pursues its goal in manifold and inconceivable ways throughout the history of mankind.  Measured against it, the names and forms which men have given it mean very little; they are only the changing leaves and blossoms on the stem of the eternal tree.
	C. G. Jung 
_______________

Head With Horns Paul Gauguin 
_______________
	Only on the basis of such an attitude which tries with charity and forbearance to accept even the humblest things in one’s nature, will a higher level of consciousness and culture become possible. This attitude is religious in the truest sense and therefore therapeutic, for all religions are therapies for the sorrows and disorders of the soul.

(Jung in Commentary on the Secret of the Golden Flower as quoted in Ulanov, 1999, p. 27)

_______________

Spirit of the Dead Watching Paul Gauguin
_______________
	A human being is part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. [S]He experiences himself, [her]his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of [her]his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.

Albert Einstein

Possible Future Trends Regionally and Internationally _______________
	I.  A Renewed, Passionate Inquiry into Animate Inter-subjectivity--Intra-psychically, Collectively and Cosmically
_______________

      Active imagination is the art by which one may make a conscious relationship between one’s inner world of fantasy, symptoms, anxieties, and loneliness and one’s outer idealism and conscious attitudes.  The meeting of these two realms is the true goal of human consciousness, and they have the effect of tempering each other and creating a much prized synthesis when brought close to each other.  Each age has devised a means of making peace between these two realms: yoga, meditation, prayer have all  been means of making this synthesis.  Dr. Jung devised the art of active imagination as being particular suitable for modern people.
	Robert Johnson [Program liner note for 1985 CJJS]  

_______________

  In this book (Yeats, A Vision), the 28 phases of the moon represent soul development reflecting a theory of reincarnation first mentioned by Plato in The Republic, which says we reincarnate out of love for the planet and for a specific benevolent mission.

Anne De Vore  [CGJS Spring 1991]
_______________
	II. The need for more body in language 
and more poetry in the body
_______________
	Words are slippery planks set on a marsh; we must step on them lightly, pass over them swiftly; less they sink beneath us.
	Montaigue [McNeil, JRH, 1998, 333]
_______________
	For alchemy, A. Waldstein states, is “a ‘Saturnian’ mysticism in love with deliberation, depth, and concentration, all qualities radically alien to the modern world.”  

Francoise Bonardel [in Faivcre/Needleman,  73]  
_______________
	Knowing, however, has a power of its own.  . an aspect of the imagination is transformation and transformation is the core process of alchemy.  Alchemy does not simply seek to know things but to transform them as well.	
Raff, Wedding, 12
_______________
	  III. The Co-evolution of Divine-Human
_______________

Wo est war soll ich werden

Where it was, let the I become.

Freud [McNeil, JRH, 1998, 333]
_______________
	Too late you have learned to know me: When the knowledge was wanted you had it not.
	Dionysos in the Bacchae [CGJS, Winter 1998]
_______________
	The “Gnostic vision” contains vivid awareness of shadow dynamics in the cosmos and, by extension, in psychic life.

Murray Stein [CGJS Fall, 1994]
_______________

Rover Senses Silicates _______________

The psychological question now is, How do we house this  greater subject that takes up residence in us, radically altering the center from which we live?  How do we accommodate this “tremendous stranger,” or this “mysterious density of being”? How do we, how can we, live in relation to it?

The theological questions ask, Who has taken up residence within and among us?  Who is the One?

(Ulanov, 1999, p. 244)

_______________
	Medicine, education, money, food, energy, media, technology, religion, buildings, economics--all of those organizing forms that together ought to make culture no longer do so but instead are making a pathological civilization.  The new symptoms are fragmentation, specialization, expertise, depression, inflation, cruelty, hardness, violence and absence of beauty.  Our buildings are anorectic, our business paranoid, detached, and abstract and our technology manic.  These symptoms indicate the loss of the containment characteristic of the vessel of soul . . . [we need a] re-evaluation of the domains of the modern world in terms of metaphor, image, story, and dream. 	

Robert Sardello 
_______________

There is an invisible world out there, and we are living in it.

Bill Viola, video artist (Pagels, 2003, preface)

Jaffe’s Essential Components of Jung

Our evolution after meaning possibly contributes to God’s evolution.

The reality of the Psyche.

The restoration of meaning to our lives wholly subjective, not objective.

The affirmation of the feminine principle.

Three Great Themes of Soul in Last Millennium

Scholasticism

Humanism

Hermetic/Kabalistic

(MacNulty, p. 11)
_______________
	The ally neither creates suffering nor avoids it. It suffers as we do, as we work together to unite and heal the wounds of the Divinity.   God is not a perfectly happy Ruler  who sends his [her] happy little angels to make us happy.  Such a view is as revolting as it is common.

	Turning and turning in the widening gyre  The falcon cannot hear the falconer;  Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;  Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,  The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere  The ceremony of innocence is drowned;  The best lack all convictions, while the worst  Are full of passionate intensity.  
W. B. Yeats

	We need some new foundations.  We must dig down to the primitive in us. . . .we need a new experience of God.

  The Prophet Isaiah - Chapter 17, verse 1 NIV

	In recent years psychotherapy, including the Jungian community, has come under increasing criticism for neglecting the suffering of the world.  Some see such one-sided focus on the inner life as an escape from the numbing political realities that confront us.
	Randy Morris [GJS, April 1995]
_______________

...the center cannot hold; mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, the blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere the ceremony of innocence is drowned...“

	Why the World Trade Center? Why the Pentagon? Besides the obvious nature of these symbols, they relate to the prophetic view of future events. "Bin Laden lives in a symbolic universe which reads apocalyptically," says another scholar, Richard Landes, director of the Center for Millennial Studies at Boston University.

_______________
	Robertson has spoken his heart on the issue of genocide several times. "The people who have come into institutions today are primarily termites. They are destroying institutions that have been built by Christians, whether it is universities, governments, our own traditions that we have. The termites are in charge now, and that is not the way it ought to be, and the time has come for a godly fumigation," Robertson said in the New York magazine.

 Lines Written in Dejection
	When have I last looked on The round green eyes and the long wavering bodies Of the dark leopards of the moon? All the wild witches, those most noble ladies, For all their broom-sticks and their tears, Their angry tears, are gone. The holy centaurs of the hills are vanished; I have nothing but the embittered sun; Banished heroic mother moon and vanished, And now that I have come to fifty years I must endure the timid sun.

If you are marching, stop marching. If you are fighting, stop fighting. ... My last thread of courage is to wait, and believe. . . .

Art is not a mirror to reflect the world, but a hammer with which to change it.”	Vladimir Mayakovsky [as quoted by 	Andrew Samuels, CGJS, Winter, 1991]
_______________

A revolution in Training that requires  journey-person analysts, therapists and healers to have mastered, at least, an art form, a spiritual art form (deep contemplative meditation of whatever tradition), and a body art form (e.g. Tai-Chi, yoga) beyond classical analytical curriculums.  It would be best if all professions required this.  
_______________

I think that musical training, or training in any art or in art appreciation, is indespensable for all of us, and especially for therapists. . . .through them [art forms and personal psychic experience] we can hear the varying tensions of the harp strings and the fingers of the cosmic musician strumming time and the seasons, ourselves and our changing cultures into and out of existence.

VI. The Cooling of Technological-Species 
  Hubris/Inflation—Learning a New Cosmic Humility
_______________

   In modern life we are swept away by technical achievement which promises to overcome dark nature.  In our exuberance, we lose sight of ourselves as animal beings at the mercy of a vast and intricate universe we barely comprehend. We loss our balanced standpoint which would include equally the achievements of culture along with the facts of our fated, fragile existence. In our imbalance, we have cut ourselves off from our roots as creatures of nature.

The whole is more valued than the parts.
The universe is an organism.
Things have souls.
Work [our daily lives] not just outer but inner—connects us to the living Cosmos.
The Other is as much feminine as masculine, animal as human, plant as animal.
Mystery returns to suffuse all we do and relate to—the universe is Panentheistic.

	But why need there be an initiation at all?  Perhaps it is because men know it but can’t experience it, whereas women experience it but cannot know it.  Each must learn to acquire the capacity for experience and for being conscious of the experience simultaneously.  Only initiation as a rite of passage in some form can accomplish this.

	The whole world with its turmoil and misery is in an individuation process.  But people don’t know it, that’s the only difference.  If they knew it, they would not be at war with each other, because whoever has the war inside [her]himself has no time and pleasure to fight others.

C G. Jung [ in Perera, Bull, 49] 

_______________
	My experience as a creative  person and a Jungian analyst suggests that creativity inevitably threatens established order, both within the individual and within his or her culture, and that creative, shamanic, and psychotic processes have a great deal in common.  Unlived creative life passes from parent to child “unto the third and fourth generation,” until someone becomes conscious enough to redeem it.

	Bion pays homage to the mysticism of old—the Changeless Eternal Infinite, the all potential formless void, O itself. But he also opens to a mysticism of changing moments, a dynamic, restless O.  We meet O not simply as peace, but turbulence, even catastrophe. . .This is somewhat in line with the Hindu idea that the present is past, dreaming is the present, and inner void the future.

(Eigen, 1999, p. 20)

  For Jung, whole religious attitude is the ‘“careful and scrupulous observation of. . .a dynamic existence or effect not caused by an arbitrary act of will.’. . .making the Self. . .into an inner partner.”

If Death Were A Woman 
Ellen Kort
_______________

I’d want her to come for me
smelling of cinnamon   wearing
bright cotton    purple maybe   hot
pink   a red bandanna in her hair.

She’d bring good coffee   papaya juice
bouquet of sea grass   saltine crackers
and a lottery ticket   We’d dip
our fingers into moist pouches

of lady-slippers   crouch down to see
how cabbages feel when wind bumps
against them in the garden
We’d walk through Martin’s woods
_______________

find the old house   its crumbling
foundation strung with honeysuckle
and in the front yard   a surprise
jonquils   turning the air yellow

glistening and ripe   still blooming
for a gardener long gone   We’d head
for the beach   wearing strings of shells
around our left ankles   laugh

at their tinkling sounds   the measured
beat that comes with dancing
on hard-packed sand   the applause
of ocean and gulls   She’d play
_______________

ocarina songs to a moon almost full
and I’d sing off-key   We’d glide 
and swoop   become confetti of leaf fall
all wings   floating on small whirlwinds

never once dreading the heart-
silenced drop   And when it was time
she would not bathe me   Instead we’d 
scrub the porch   pour leftover 

water on flowers   stand a long time
in sun and silence   then   holding hands
we’d pose for pictures in the last light
