An Applied Theory of Oneness

This exciting episode starts right where it says it does as we open a dialogue for the expansion of our own ideas. I'm really happy to share this content with everyone!

Jung, as an analytical psychologist and therapist, could not accept that a state of pure enlightened awareness and overcoming of self could be attained, releasing the individual from the suffering of this world.

Rather, by opening up awareness of the unconscious, the Self could attain an improved state of equilibrium, of wholeness.

We may, he thought, be better and more balanced selves, but not, in this life, wholly cease to be suffering selves.

The unity he sought "is not that of undifferentiated oneness, but rather a harmony, a balance sought through the interplay of opposing but complementary forces."
