Glen Slater, January 13 and 14
This month OFJ welcomes back Glen Slater, Ph.D.  Dr. Slater has studied and trained in religious studies and clinical psychology. For the past 15 years he has taught Jungian and archetypal psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute in California. He edited and introduced the third volume of James Hillman’s Uniform Edition, Senex and Puer, as well as a volume of essays by Pacifica faculty, Varieties of Mythic Experience, (with Dennis Patrick Slattery). He has also contributed a number of essays to Spring, where he is the film review editor. He lives on Bainbridge Island, Washington.  Dr. Slater spoke to OFJ last Spring on Technology and Soul.

    
Lecture: The God Complex
Notions of divinity are psychoactive. Whether one is a believer, an atheist, an agnostic, a spiritual seeker or a student of religion, it is difficult to contemplate questions of God without significant investment in the answers. This lecture will discuss the “complex” psychology of our response to the God topic. It will show how a Jungian approach can provide a way to negotiate the associated conundrums and controversies. From contemplating the death of God to the psychodynamics of fundamentalism and the search for meaning in between, our goal will be a deeper appreciation of the psychological stakes involved.


Workshop: God--Finding a Perspective in Our Times
The role that religion continues to play in today’s secular world is distressing to some and comforting to others. Jung’s notion of a “religious instinct” and his understanding of the “God-image” in the psyche provide a point of entry into the controversy and a fitting perspective for our times. Through viewing film clips, personal reflection and discussion of the changing God-image, this workshop aims to equip participants with timely, intelligent ways to approach prevailing religious questions. It will move toward contemplating a sense of the sacred that is conversant with today’s individual and collective challenges.(Please note this workshop will have a half-hour lunch-break. Participants are encouraged to bring brown-bag lunches.)

Edward Edinger Interview

Edward Edinger’s final interview, conducted by Lawrence Jaffe on May 15, 1998, and published in

The Journal of Jungian Theory and Practice

is available free for viewing (and printing) from the
C.G. Jung Institute of New York.
It’s ten pages.

Edinger, who died July 17, 1998, describes how, by 1998, Jung had became less understood than he was at his death in 1961, how post-Jungians are better described as pre-Jungians, why Jung invokes intense projections, why he considers “Anatomy of the Psyche” his “most substantial sustained and fully organized contribution,” and he offers thoughts about Theodor Abt and James Hillman, the future of Jungian psychology, personalistic approaches to Jung, why Jung’s vision of the psyche is incompatible with that of personalistic theories, Eastern religion as often embraced in the west, the Book of Job, “life’s intention,” death, aging and the afterlife, the “Not Yet Transformed God,” the “offended God-image,” wrestling with the “onslaught of instinct,” seeing the reality of the psyche, the effect on him of his parents’ religion, his lack of interest in computers, how entertainment is “an infantilizing of the sacred drama and the function that it used to serve,” how sports are disconnected from their origin as sacred games, and why modern music fails to touch the depths.

“There will probably be little enclaves, little oases of small groups that try to hold onto the authentic Jung and they may not be fully professional groups either. But that’s just a guess.”
Edward Edinger, May 15, 1998
