Reimagining God and Religion with Jerry Wright , Part 1

Jerry Wright speaks to the Charleston Jung Society on Reimagining God and Religion. Nov. 9th, 2019 As long as our deities and devils are perceived to be external to the natural world, and beyond the human psyche, we will continue to do great harm to ourselves, to each other, and to our environment! Dr. Wright will examine the three major monotheistic religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) over the past 4,000 years. He will also describe the “myth of consciousness” growing out of Analytical or Jungian Psychology and will critique its relevance for the modern/postmodern mind and ancient soul. He will also describe his aim at a grounded and embodied mysticism and compare its potential practical meanings in theological and psychological language. The Charleston Jung Society is a private, non-profit organization and with a vision of raising awareness about the many dimensions of Jungian thought within the Charleston SC community. In accordance with this aim, the Society offers programs and events in depth psychology. Our hope is that our meetings and conversations will offer the space where our members and friends can be supported and engaged in their own process of individuation. www.CharlestonJungSociety.org
