Edward Edinger - The Social Relevance of Inner Work (Improved Audio)

` "The world hangs on a thin thread, and that is the psyche of man. Nowadays we are not threatened by elementary catastrophes. There is no such thing as an H-bomb; that is all man’s doing. WE are the great danger. The psyche is the great danger. What if something goes wrong with the psyche?"
-Jung.

We can make the difference if we will do our own inner work with seriousness, persistence and an effort to become more conscious and establish an authentic connection with the inner Guide, even if around us reality seems too much, and the odds seems too low - we can make a difference.
I hope we will.

Edward Edinger was a prominent Jungian analyst and scholar who significantly contributed to the understanding of Jungian psychology. His work focused on the exploration of the Self, individuation, and the symbolic nature of the psyche. Edinger emphasized the importance of the integration of the conscious and unconscious aspects of the psyche, a process that Carl Jung described as individuation.

One of Edinger's key contributions was his exploration of archetypal symbolism and its role in psychological development. He believed that the archetypes, particularly the Self, play a crucial role in guiding individuals toward wholeness. Edinger often discussed the tension between the ego and the Self, highlighting the transformative journey that occurs when an individual engages with the unconscious through symbols, dreams, and active imagination.

Edinger also delved deeply into the concept of the "God-image" in the psyche, discussing how religious and mythological symbols serve as manifestations of the Self. He explored the relationship between the ego and the Self in the context of spiritual development, emphasizing that the encounter with the numinous—the experience of the divine within the psyche—was central to the process of individuation.

In his work, Edinger often referenced key Jungian concepts such as the shadow, anima and animus, the personal and collective unconscious, and the process of psychological integration. He believed that by understanding and integrating these elements, individuals could achieve a deeper sense of wholeness and meaning in their lives. Edinger’s contributions continue to influence contemporary Jungian thought, particularly in the areas of mythology, religion, and the interpretation of symbols in psychological practice.

Dr. Edinger is a profound thinker and torch bearer of Analytical Psychology. I recommend The New God Image and (of course) Ego and Archetypes for anyone who hasn't explored his work. Thank you for this video.

In this video he explains the structure of the psyche, the God image in man psychologically, and Christianity. He gets right to it an explains how all Christians are split.
