Description:
Psychological mysticism proposes that all of our gods have been, and remain, internal, intrapsychic experiences, energies, images, and resources, rather than external, supernatural, interventionist Beings. Our most urgent, modern psychospiritual task, therefore, is to welcome our gods back home to the human psyche where they were birthed and where they belong. Until that happens, our religious, political, and cultural divisions will likely increase, and we will continue to do great harm to ourselves, to each other, and to our fragile nest.
Drawing on Jung’s Analytical Psychology and a variety of mystical traditions, Dr. Wright will introduce an alternative to the monotheistic myth and God-image that has devolved for many into a dangerous religious delusion and a religious/political cult. The presentation and discussion will focus on psychological mysticism that has the potential to bridge our dangerous divisions in this interim time between meaningful collective myths.
Jerry R. Wright, D. Min., is a Jungian Psychoanalyst who lives in Flat Rock, N.C. He is a senior training analyst with the Inter-Regional Society of Jungian Analysts, a retreat leader and teacher, and author of recently published Welcoming Our Gods Back Home: The Wisdom of Psychological Mysticism, which is the third volume in his trilogy, “Jungian Psychology and the Future of Our Species.” The other two books in the trilogy are Reimagining God and Religion: Essays for the Psychologically Minded (Chiron, 2018) and A Mystical Path Less Traveled: A Jungian Psychological Perspective (Chiron, 2021). Dr. Wright has led pilgrimages to sacred places around the world, including Ireland, India, Africa, Peru/Machu Pichu, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Greece, and numerous pilgrimages to his favorite thin place -- Iona, Scotland.
