                Carl Gustav Jung

The recent and timely publication of Liber Novus: The “Red Book” of C. G. Jung has cast new light upon the personal experience of the famed Dr. Jung. Driven by the ancestral voices of the dead to confront the deepest schisms in the psyche of the West during the bloodbath of the Great War, Jung emerged after years of inner travail with a new vision of renovatio for our times. His visions, recorded in the Red Book, formed the basis for the development of his later psychology of personal wholeness  termed individuation.  Jung’s prophesies remain as  a warning of the cataclysms that will result if we ignore the barbarity of our cultural shadow, continue to project it onto “enemies”, and  persist in neglecting our spiritual connection to the living earth.

Dr. Roger Woolger is a pioneer in Deep Memory Process and a life-long student of world spiritual traditions. A graduate of the C. G. Jung Institute in Zurich, he holds degrees in psychology, philosophy, and comparative religion from Oxford and London Universities and is an acclaimed speaker on three continents.

Dr. Jung felt that ancestral connection was an important factor in the unfolding of one’s personal destiny.  The role of Goethe as an intellectual influence on Jung’s life and work has often been remarked.  In Memories, Dreams, Reflections, Jung regards Goethe as his pre-eminent spiritual ancestor.  Why was Jung so fascinated (and in many ways identified) with Faust’s struggle with Mephisto, with Goethe’s involvement in German politics, his alchemical research, his romantic affairs and more?  And how seriously did Jung take the family legend that his grandfather was an illegitimate son of Goethe?  Mediumistic talents ran high in his mother’s family and led Jung to research the channeling of his cousin Helly Preiswerk.  Helly’s spirit guides saw Helly and Jung as reincarnations of the lovers Goethe and Sophie Preiswerk, but Jung broke off the experiments fearing that Helly was in love with him. 

And what of the 18th century figure whom Jung called Personality No 2?  Could this have been the ancestral spirit of Goethe? The figures in Goethe’s Faust, especially the murdered couple Philemon and Baucis, continued to haunt Jung throughout his life.  In his visionary Red Book, his spirit teacher bears the name Philemon as does a late-carved memorial to Faust’s “penitence”.  Does this explain Jung’s foolhardy political involvement with Jewish issues during the Nazi era, even becoming a spy for Allen Dulles’ US Intelligence services (OSS) during World War II?

In conjunction with this lecture, Dr. Woolger will present, on September 11th & 12th,

 his brilliant and popular experiential Workshop entitled
