Description:
Scriptures, myths, fairy tales, legends, artistic creations of different cultures and religions embody the shared archetypal wisdom and form the building blocks of the Collective Psyche and a crucial database of human consciousness. Jung emphasized the critical importance of exploring cultures divergent from one’s host culture to gain a nuanced understanding of the human condition. This offers a broader repertoire of archetypal substrate to draw from. Jung explored the Sufi tradition as embodied in the 18th Sura of the Koran, at the 1939 Eranos Conference on the eve of World War II. We will explore the 18th Sura of the Koran to unpack the Mystical Sufi path to Individuation, which may be relevant to our times.
