Divine Immanence: A Psychodynamic Study in Women's Experience of Goddess

by Patricia 'Iolana

Published in Claremont Journal of Religion Vol 1 No 1 January 2012, 86-107.

Drawn from the pages of the memoirs in this study this paper shall briefly examine the methodology required to understand these collective spiritual experiences and how the experience of an immanent Sacred Feminine lies at the heart of this Western paradigmatic shift towards the Feminine Divine.

On the Conservatism of Post-Jungian Criticism: Competing Concepts of the Symbol in Freud, Jung and Walter Benjamin

by Matthew Charles

Earlier version of an article published in 'International Journal of Jungian Studies' (April 2012)

This article examines the centrality of symbolism to both Freud and Jung’s psychology, and explains how the differing concepts of the symbol lead to their divergent theories of interpretation in psychology and art criticism. Acknowledging the advantages of Jung’s more expansive account of the symbol, it argues that Walter Benjamin’s critical engagement with Jung nonetheless provides a useful correction to the problematic conservatism inherent to his concept of the symbol and its contemporary application.

Extensive notes and references are included for the reader interested in archetypal psychology and its interface with creative process, particularly the construction of written narratives.

Nature as a Mirror of Psyche: On the Theme of Eternal Return (Observations from a Nature Journal)

G. Jung on Nature, Technology, & Modern Life (2002)  and other readings. The assignment also included sketches of the natural surroundings and an imaginative dialogue with the natural environment, culminating in a paper on the central theme of the journal notes.  This theme is the idea of objective nature as a mirror for inner nature, i.e., the psyche or “soul,” specifically the cycles of nature as a metaphor for “seasons of the soul.”  The substance of the paper is a presentation of my initial field notes, accompanied by psychological and mythological commentary.
