Please note that this workshop is on SUNDAY, March 16, 2025 from 1PM to 4PM Eastern Time.

This program WILL BE RECORDED.

This workshop will build on Friday’s lecture, further discussion some of the psychological processes that underpin various biblical stories and the theology to which they have given rise.  The talk is based on Jung’s ideas that “religious statements are psychic confessions” (CW11, para. 555), and “statements made in the Holy Scriptures are also utterances of the soul” (CW11, para. 557).  The program will show that some biblical and theological ideas arise from human psychodynamics, often of a narcissistic type, while some originate in the archetypal level of the psyche.

Religious experiences and the theology to which they give rise are products of the psyche.  They do not need to be seen as emanating from a metaphysical deity in a transcendent realm.  The experience of transcendent reality reported by characters in biblical stories is the result of contact with non-ego, archetypal, or transpersonal levels of the psyche, which is the actual source of sacred experience.
