Love, Celibacy and the Inner Marriage by John P. Dourley Pdf
The author of The Illness That We Are and The Psyche as Sacrament shows that without a deeply compassionate relationship to our own soul, we cannot realize the full extent of our ability to love either our intimates or God.
The World Is a Waiting Lover by Trebbe Johnson Pdf
Johnson explores the concept of the Beloved — the elusive, alluring force that beckons us forth to passionate engagement with the world — and shows how our sense of love is often linked to something far greater than ourselves. She explains that mistaking a human lover for the inner, eternal Beloved is the first step in any romance, yet the ability to distinguish between the two ultimately holds the key to our quest for personal freedom and fulfillment. Steeped in Western and Eastern myth and romantic imagery, The World is a Waiting Lover guides us through story and thought in order to discover passion, Eros, and our authentic selves. It is a personal story and, at the same time, an invitation to explore our individual yearnings to live with fearless authenticity as we find more passion and meaning in our work, relationships, and view of the future.
Discerning Vocations to Marriage, Celibacy and Singlehood by Francis Kelly Nemeck,Marie Theresa Coombs Pdf
From a relational and evolutionary perspective on the mystery of vocation, the authors develop the principles of discernment for Christian marriage, celibacy, and singlehood. They see the vocational core of marriage as a calling by God of each spouse to be a unique instrument of transformation and purification in the other's spiritual journey. They identify the vocational core of celibacy as the relationship between Jesus and the celibate rendering the celibate unmarriageable for the sake of Christ and the Gospel. They view the vocational core of singlehood as witness to a certain independence for the sake of the reign of God. In the light of each vocational core, the authors discuss specific signs which indicate and authentic calling. This book appeals to those seeking to discern their personal vocation as well as to those guiding them.
College Cloisters - Married Bachelors by Bridget Duckenfield Pdf
Using archival material and many unpublished sources, this work traces the origins of Oxford and Cambridge University colleges as places of learning, founded from the thirteenth century, for unmarried men who were required to take vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, the majority of whom trained for the priesthood. The process reveals how the isolated monk-like existence was gradually transformed from the idea of married Fellows at University Colleges being considered absurd into considering it absurd not to allow Fellows to marry and keep their fellowships and therefore their income. This book shows how the Church was accepted as an essential element in society with university trained Churchmen becoming influential in Crown, government, and State. As part of the cataclysmic change from Catholic to Protestant religion, Edward VI and his Council permitted priests to marry, partly to declare their allegiance to the new Protestant religion and their rejection of the old. However, within the university colleges the rule that Fellows would lose their fellowships immediately on marriage was insisted upon. Why a group of individuals were instructed to remain set in a medieval monastic way of life within a nineteenth-century institution is traced in conjunction with how anomalies arose, were absorbed, accepted or challenged by a few courageous individuals prior to bringing about the ultimate change to the statutes in 1882.
The Religious Function of the Psyche by Lionel Corbett Pdf
Traditional concepts of God are no longer tenable for many people who nevertheless experience a strong sense of the sacred in their lives. The Religious Function of the Psyche offers a psychological model for the understanding of such experience, using the language and interpretive methods of depth psychology, particularly those of C.G. Jung and psychoanalytic self psychology. The problems of evil and suffering, and the notion of human development as an incarnation of spirit are dealt with by means of a religious approach to the psyche that can be brought easily into psychotherapeutic practice and applied by the individual in everyday life. The book offers an alternative approach to spirituality as well as providing an introduction to Jung and religion.
A luminous spiritual memoir inviting the reader to the practice of silent prayer. Rooted in her Judeo-Christian tradition, the author welcomes the wisdom of other traditions and calls us to embrace our shared humanity. In this 20th Anniversary Edition, Tiberghien writes an Afterword to update her journey, opening the confines of her own darkness and finding atonement in the natural world and in the presence of Sophia, the ‘hidden wholeness’ of creation.
"Journey into Depth is about the experience of initiation as it plays itself out in two domains - the monastic and the training to become a Jungian psychoanalyst. The very disparateness of these fields, from an external point of view, highlights the deeper level of similarity in their initiatory experiences. A few major anthropological guidelines concerning initiation provide a framework of reflection as to what is really going on when a person passes through this kind of adult "rite of passage." Conclusions as to the human importance of such experiences follow with special emphasis on their spiritual consequences in terms of growth."--BOOK JACKET

Dreaming about the Divine by Bonnelle Lewis Strickling Pdf
In Dreaming about the Divine, Bonnelle Lewis Strickling argues that people dream about the divine in forms that fit their current emotional and spiritual condition. Using Jungian psychology and the philosophy of Karl Jaspers, Strickling contends that dreams about the divine occur in the context of existential issues; psychic and emotional crises which open us to the experience of the divine. She concludes that working with dreams of the divine can be spiritually, psychically, and emotionally helpful both to people who are engaged in a spiritual search and also to people who are already committed to a spiritual tradition.
An Introduction to the Collected Works of C. G. Jung by Clifford Mayes Pdf
An Introduction to the Collected Works of C. G. Jung: Psyche as Spirit offers a concise and engaging overview of Jung’s work and contributions to the field of psychology. Mayes first examines Jung’s philosophical influences as well as his work and eventual break with Sigmund Freud, providing insights into how these experiences shaped Jung’s theory. Mayes brings into focus the major concepts and themes explored in Carl Gustav Jung’s Collected Works, including the ego-Self Axis, archetypes, personality types, and the Collective Unconscious, presenting a thorough introduction and a valuable resource for both Jungian students as well as Jungian scholars.
For years, world-famous psychologist C.G. Jung and British theologian Victor White, author of God and the Unconscious, engaged in a lively correspondence. Now, Anne Conrad Lammers examines the highly illuminating friendship and dialogue between these two men, providing particularly valuable insights into Jung's attitude toward theology.
On Behalf of the Mystical Fool by John P. Dourley Pdf
Jung's explanation of the religious tendency of the psyche addresses many sides of the contemporary debate on religion and the role that it has in individual and social life. This book discusses the emergence of a new mythic consciousness and details ways in which this consciousness supersedes traditional concepts of religion to provide a spirituality of more universal inclusion. On Behalf of the Mystical Fool examines Jung's critique of traditional western religion, demonstrating the negative consequences of religious and political collective unconsciousness, and their consequent social irresponsibility in today's culture. The book concludes by suggesting that a new religiosity and spirituality is currently emerging in the West based on the individual’s access to the sense of ultimacy residual in the psyche, and seeking expression in a myth of a much wider compass. This book will be of interest to scholars and students at all levels who are engaged in the expanding field of Jungian studies. It will also be key reading for anyone interested in the theoretical and therapeutic connections between the psyche and religious experience.
