"You know, the reason I became an analyst—I was ordained as a minister—and it wasn’t that I lost my faith, or went sour on the Christian ministry. It was because I felt that Jungian psychology went deeper into the source of people’s needs and problems. And as an analyst, I could go there with them.”Episode description:Dr. Murray Stein is a renowned Jungian psychoanalyst and the author of important books such as ‘Jung’s treatment of Christianity’ and ‘Map of the Soul’. Dr. Stein is perhaps the Jungian who has delved the deepest into C.G Jung and his relation to the Christian tradition.In this episode, he sheds light on Jung’s rendering of Christianity through his psychological project. He helps us understand how Jungs’ psychology is rooted in the tradition of Protestantism, expands on Jungs’ idea of “the invisible church”, and Jung’s relationship to Jesus.Dr. Stein also generously shares stories from his own life, as well as anecdotes of Jung himself. For instance, you will hear the story of how Jung himself his whole life walked around with a bible in his pocket and how to live one's life at the center of the cross.Recommended readings:Stein, M (2013) Jung’s treatment of ChristianityFor transcriptions, extra material, and feedback visit:www.cross.centerSubscribe on Youtube:https://bit.ly/3sXloJbMusic played in this episode:Licensed under creativecommons.org: 'Ketsa - No light without darkness', 'Siddhartha Corsus - Constellations.'
