Jungian Studies
Carl Jung
Carl Gustav Jung founded the school of analytical or "depth" psychology. His approach provides a truly transcultural understanding of the human psyche and the overall framework for Dr. Moore's work. Jung is also the only approach to adequately bridge the gap between modern science and the mythological and spiritual traditions of our species.
Jungian depth psychology values the mysteries of the human soul. Dreams, visions, symbols, images, and cultural achievements arise from those mysterious depths that the world's religions understand as the "spiritual dimension." Depth psychology embraces all human experience as authentic to the psyche. Consequently, phenomena such as the "soul," "demonic possession," "revelation," "prayer," or "god" are completely compatible with scientific truth. Because all experiences are psychological, all are real, no matter how strange. Above all, any human experience is both based on and perceived by the deep psychological structures within us.
Jung pushed the exploration of the collective unconscious structures a step further. Stored within them, he claimed, are both the human psyche's archetypal building blocks and the accumulated collective memory of the entire human race. He reached his conclusion because he discovered that symbols, images, myths, and Gods from different cultures and epochs bore striking resemblances to one another and also to the images that appeared in his patient's dreams. According to his conception, the collective unconscious is the source and the limitless reservoir of all the images recorded in human art, mythology, and religion. From it leap both the poet's song and the scientist's insight. From it flow the signal dreams which have implication often for an entire society as much as for their dreamer.
