Jung was a student of Freud, a psychologist, who discovered the power of the collective unconscious. Every individual has an unconscious mind but most of us only vaguely encounter it through the veil of dreams. Jung realized, unlike Freud, that the contents of the unconscious are not merely the by-product of suppression and trauma. A significant part of the unconscious is dedicated to religious and mythical symbolism. By understanding the contents of the collective unconscious, the archetypes, we not only become better equipped to understand our own dreams but also we gain the ability to better understand religion, mythology, and spirituality from every culture and society. This course is an introduction to the Archetypes discovered by Jung.
This Course is the 5th installment in our Enlighten University curriculum. Here we look at Jungian Psychology in so much as it allows us to better understand and make sense out of religion. This course is intended to be held after the preceding course on Egyptian Mythology. We cover the basic archetypes of the collective unconscious, the Shadow, the Anima/Animus, as well as the Self Archetype. In addition to that we also talk about the importance of healthy ego development and how to established and recognize healthy relationships.
