Jung Book Club – “The Undiscovered Self”

Our Book Club is not only growing, it is thriving.  We have just finished a number of meetings with Mary Marx where we explored, through video and discussion, Lionel Corbett’s vision of the concept of god from antiquity to Jung.  Beginning on September 15 (and continuing September 29 and October 13), the Rev. David Hett will delve into Carl Jung’s book, “The Undiscovered Self.”  In that book, Jung wrote that we have entered “an apocalyptic age filled with images of universal destruction,” and expresses how, as individuals, we must respond to this reality.  In this fate-full fall presidential election season set in a time of extreme polarization, Jung’s book provides insight into the seductive power of “mass-mindedness” pulling the individual away from their own inner search and self-awareness.  Further, Jung’s insights will resonate not only with the study of Lionel Corbett’s beliefs, but also, with the upcoming lecture by Dr. Richard Sweeney who, on October 19, 2024, will speak to the “Strength of Jungian Psychology:  Illuminating the Darkness” as well as Rev. Hett’s November 16, 2024 presentation on “The Archetype of the Apocalypse.”

The book club meets on Sundays (see dates above) from 4:00-5:00 pm EST and is a Zoom only get-together.  The book club is free (although donations are always greatly appreciated so we can keep doing what we do).  You need to register so we can send you the zoom invite for the meeting dates.
