Hillman’s archetypal psychology is inspired by and heavily indebted to Jung’s analytical psychology (and to an extent Freud’s psychoanalysis), yet at the same time is a radical departure from it. Whereas Jung’s psychology focused on the Self, its dynamics and its constellations (ego, anima, animus, shadow), Hillman’s archetypal psychology relativizes and deliteralizes the ego and focuses on the psyche, or soul, itself and the archai, the deepest patterns of psychic functioning, “the fundamental fantasies that animat ...

Jungian psychology is a theory developed by Carl Gustav Jung, and is central to the Neopsychoanalytic school of psychology. Jungian psychology is geared largely toward the nature of symbolism and the effects of attachment upon the ability of people to live their lives in ignorance of their deeper "symbolic" natures. His ideas center around the understanding that a symbol loses its symbolic power when it is "attached" to a static meaning. The attached, and therefore static meaning renders an amorphous symbol (like the sphere or the our ...

A Course In Miracles - Comparison of ACIM to Christianity. According to the historical theological roots of most Christian denominations, the most favorable view is that a manuscript such as ACIM must be as an apocryphal work. Early Christian teachings recommend that such documents, at their very best, must always be considered as secondary in authority to the Bible. This official teaching of the early Christian Church regarding such writings was finally agreed upon by the Church Fathers of the fourth and ...

The basic assumption is that the personal unconscious is a potent part — probably the more active part — of the normal human psyche. Reliable communication between the conscious and unconscious parts of the psyche is necessary for happiness. Also crucial is the belief that dreams show ideas, beliefs, and feelings of which individuals may not be readily aware, but need to be, and that such material is expressed in a personalized vocabulary of visual metaphors. Things "known but unknown" are contained in the unconscious, and dreams ...

Among the thinkers who are considered to have set the stage for transpersonal studies are William James, Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, Abraham Maslow, and Roberto Assagioli (Cowley & Derezotes, 1994; Miller, 1998; Davis, 2003). A major motivating factor behind the initiative to establish this school of psychology was Abraham Maslow's already published work regarding human peak experiences. Maslows work grew out of the humanistic movement of the 1960's, and gradually the term "transpersonal" was associ ...

Jung is best known for his term "archetype" which connotes a structural view of psychological life. The term archetype can be understood as quite similar to — and was probably directly influenced by — Kant's term "a priori." Jung often seemed to view the archetypes as sorts of psychological organs, directly analogous to our physical, bodily organs: both being morphological givens for the species; both arising at least partially through evolutionary processes. Current Jungian-influenced thinking has explored nearly diametrically opposing ...

Although any model of human development can only be understood as an intellectual abstraction of reality, transpersonal psychology has made significant contributions to the understanding of human development and consciousness. While authors like Wilber and Battista tend to emphasize the understanding of development in the form of levels, where each superior level includes and integrates its junior dimensions, theorists like Washburn and Grof tend to emphasize the regressive nature of consciousness. Regressive in the sense that the individual ...

Criticisms of transpersonal psychology has come from several commentators. One of the earliest criticisms of the field was issued by the Humanistic psychologist Rollo May, who disputed the conceptual foundations of transpersonal psychology (Aanstos, Serling & Greening, 2000). May was particularly concerned about the low level of reflection on the dark side of human nature, and on human suffering, among the early transpersonal theorists. A similar critique was also put forward by Alexander (1980) who thought that Transpersonal Psychology, ...

The central texts of ACIM are comprised of four parts: A Text section that includes teachings on the nature of forgiveness, and about how to let go of one's faulty misperceptions regarding the true nature of human relationships. These misperceptions are a part of the faulty belief system of the ego. Once let go of, these mistaken beliefs are then naturally replaced by unconditional forgiveness, which ultimately leads one to the awareness of God. Forgiveness is considered to be a critical aspect of love. The faulty belief system ...

ACIM teaches that religion is best when it is practiced at the internal level, as an act directly between a person and God (or another person). Accordingly, no central organization or authority exists within ACIM that is fully analogous to the central authority structure usually found attached to most other spiritual belief systems. Neither does any system of formalized membership, or membership tracking exist amongst the majority of the students of ACIM. Still, a few smaller more highly structured study organizations do exist that are membership based. For more infor ...
