From the Crusades, the First and Second World Wars, and the ongoing violence worldwide, we have to admit that war is an archetypal reality within the Psyche. However, with modern weaponry that can decimate the world with the push of a button, we can no longer afford to see war as the only solution to conflict.
From the sages and dreamers of antiquity, to the 1931-1932 correspondence between Einstein and Freud titled Why War? humanity has sought to understand the nature of war and how to stop its ongoing proliferation, its justification of unimaginable crimes against humanity, and the loss of millions of lives worldwide.
To these earlier contributions we can now add the voice of Jung and Jungian Psychology, along with Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel’s personal experiences of the Holocaust and his lifetime pursuit of humanitarian concerns to address the issue of war and crimes against humanity. Read More
Erich Neumann’s work, Depth Psychology and the New Ethic, teaches us that war is often driven by the projection of evil onto others. Dr Yoram Kaufmann, a Jungian Analyst from Israel, echoes this point when stating that “the greatest act of evil is the projection of our own evil onto others”.
These profound insights speak to the very nature of war and all that follows in its wake. The world stage can no longer be the screen upon which governmental leaders project their exiled contents onto, and now more than ever, we need to find some way to halt the rampant escalation of projections.
As Jung taught us to learn about the contents of the collective Psyche and the inner workings of humanity’s darkest unconscious dynamics, Jungian Analysts are in a position to make a unique contribution to understanding something of the inherent and archetypal nature of war, and a way to work with personal and collective evil.
This webinar aims to bring insight into the workings of Psyche and archetypal dynamics and patterns so as to provide a modicum of hope, and a framework with which to understand and navigate current world events. It is also our hope that the insights offered during this presentation can ultimately have an impact to lessen the occurrence of ongoing acts of crimes against humanity.
