Eranos: A Play is an imaginative account of a meeting at the Eranos Conference in 1947. Carl Jung, Aniela Jaffe, Erich Neumann, Rabbi Leo Baeck, and the founder of Eranos, Olga Fr be-Kapteyn, are gathered on the grounds of Eranos where the stillness of the setting under the trees and the beauty of the lake and surrounding mountains create a magical aura. Guided by the imagination of the authors, the play is deeply informed by historical sources and deals with questions such as: "What is evil?", "How does one recover from the trauma of war?", and "Is there a need for a new myth for our time?" The volume also includes original essays by members of the Ensemble (all Jungian analysts), an in-depth dialogue between the authors, and invited essays by the Scientific Director of the Eranos Foundation, Riccardo Bernardini, by poet and novelist, Dale Kushner, by film-maker, Luis Moris, and an original poem by theater director, Michael Posnick.

C. G. Jung's published writings can be studied as documents in the history of psychoanalysis, as works of literature, as depth psychological theory, as existential commentaries about the times in which they were composed, and as autobiographical markers in the author's own individuation process. The Red Book: Liber Novus combines all of these genres. Essays in this volume are reflections on the many features of Jung's oeuvre. Inside this Volume: -Jung's Vision of the Human Psyche and Analytic Practice -C. G. Jung as Writer in Dialogue -Of Texts and Contexts -"Divinity expresses the self..."-An Investigation -C. G. Jung, Richard Wilhelm and I Ching -Creative Powers and Personalities -Mysterium Coniunctionis - The Mystery of Individuation -In Friendship -Red Book Papers-The Red Book -What Is The Red Book for Analytical Psychology? -How to Read The Red Book, and Why: The Story of a Modern Man's Search for His Soul -Systema munditotius: A Psychogram -The Red Book as a Journey to Individuation -Acts of Imagination: Creation of the (Inner) World -References -Index

In this volume, Murray Stein and Diane Stanley explore, compare and contrast key features of the Buddhist view of Self liberation and the Jungian process of individuation. In Chapter One, they share experiences that opened a path to Self-knowledge in their own lives, including psychedelics, meditation, synchronicity, dreams and active imagination. The value of integrating transcendent experiences is explored in Chapter Two. In Chapter Three, they look at art work as soul-work, based on a series of twenty-four pictures from a Jungian analysis. What do such images, absent the specific dream content from which they arise, reveal about the direction of individuation? Chapter Four focuses on the tensions and difficulties of living in two worlds - the temporal and the timeless - as well as on the unconscious drive to bring them into synergy. Finally, the discussion concludes by circling back to the original question and asks: what are the limits and prospects of liberation of the Self?

Do we, like Jung, need to leave the spirit of the time and follow the spirit of the depths, to call out "my soul, where are you?" through the windows of our now post-modern homes? We live in a digital world of incredible virtual inter-connectedness but at the same time fragmented and divided on many levels, including the psychological. The pace of life is rapid and ever accelerating. The spirit of the time is flux: It twitters. There is no sense of coherence in the whole. The guidance of a transcendent North Star is invisible to the naked eye of consciousness. Our existential crisis is not about the individual alone. It infects the entire human world, like the Covid-19 pandemic. Wars between cultural brothers and sisters, increasingly dire effects of climate change, economic disruptions, hunger, migration-these conditions affect everyone on the planet. Is there a spirit of the depths that can take us through this Inferno, perhaps toward the emergence of a meaningful narrative that can stabilize the global community and provide a collective sense of "supreme meaning?" This is the search for soul in the 21st Century.Table of ContentsINTRODUCTION by Murray SteinCHAPTER 1 Acts of Imagination: The Creation of the (Inner) World by Murray SteinCHAPTER 2 The Future of the Spirit in The Red Book and in Our Time by Romano M deraCHAPTER 3 The Call to a Collective Red Book of Our Times: Personal Journeys in the Story-Web of Deep Imagination by Stephen AizenstatCHAPTER 4 Voices of Wisdom in Times of Crisis: Responding to the Cries of Nature by Nancy Swift FurlottiCHAPTER 5 Jung as Modern and Postmodern in his "Red Book" Collective and Personal Crisisby Toshio KawaiCHAPTER 6 Collective Individuation in The Red Book: The Self in the Troubled World by Leslie SteinCHAPTER 7 Ecstasy and Subjection: Re-membering Dionysus and Addiction Treatment by Len CruzCHAPTER 8 Whom Shall I Send?

The transformation of personality is mysterious, whether it comes about gradually or suddenly. In part, it is the result of the process of aging. Life itself puts a person through a series of transformations similar to the moultings of insects and reptiles. There are also rituals created by humans in their cultures that facilitate transformations to higher levels of identity and consciousness through instigating a process of spiritual death and rebirth into a greater sense of wholeness. The essence of the process is alchemical and what controls it is mysterious, lodged in the unconscious dynamics of the self. The chapters in this book are attempts at exploring those dynamics while acknowledging that they will forever remain beyond our understanding, a mystery. This work consists of a series of probes into the mystery of the individuation process. Central to the discussion are Jung's late writings on the alchemy of psychological transformation in the late stages of individuation. Table of Contents1. The Mystery of Transcendence - A Dream for Our Time2. Dante's Divine Comedy - A Journey to the Mystery of Transformation 3. The Marriage of Anima and Animus in the Mystery of Individuation 4. "The Piano Lesson" - Wolfgang Pauli's Mysterious Union of the Opposites 5. Mysterium Coniunctionis - "The Mystery of Individuation" 6. Individuation and/vs. Enlightenment 7. The Mystery of Creativity - A Journey in Pictures 8. The Meanings of "Meaning" 9. The Faith of the Analyst References
