Description

"At the end of the day, psychological integration is not salvation. And I think that most people who have done the work will be ready enough to concede that. This is not the end of the road, it’s not salvation. What do we want? We don’t want just integrated individuals, but we want a redeemed order of being, we want justice on earth.”Episode description:Sean McGrath is a Professor of Philosophy and Theology, a researcher of the philosophical roots of psychoanalysis, and a former professed Catholic Monk. In this episode, McGrath shares some of his learnings from the monastery, before helping us to understand how C.G Jung (mis)understood evil, and the role of the feminine in Christianity.McGrath also helps us clarify the difference between psychological integration and religious experience and how Christ, at the heart of our western imagination, is not to be viewed as a symbol of the Self but of God.Last, but not least, McGrath helps us to connect how inner work and individuation link to the actions in the outer world: how by laying down your life for your community you might find the inner peace that you seek.Recommended readings:McGrath S (2012) The dark ground of Spirit, Schelling and the unconsciousFor transcriptions, extra material, and feedback visit:www.cross.centerSubscribe on Youtube:https://bit.ly/3sXloJbMusic played in this episode‘Bed’ by Ketsa, ‘Amsterdam’ and ‘Amsterdam Blac Koyote Remix’ by Lasers licensed under creativecommons.org by NC-ND 4.0.
