Myth Salon with Dr. John Beebe: The Construction of Cultural Attitudes in the Approach to Myth
To comprehend the mystery of a living myth, we often need to arrive at a new conscious attitude. Jungian analyst Joseph Henderson noted that in depth work, when people recognize numinous experience emerging, they tend to construe it selectively through either a religious, philosophical, aesthetic, or social attitude drawn from culture. In this first Myth Salon of 2022, Dr. John Beebe will demonstrate that we also create these attitudes anew by stretching the range of our psychological consciousness and how the attitude that then emerges will affect the way we understand the myth. Dr. John Beebe, a past president of the C. G. Jung Institute of San Francisco, where he studied with Joseph Henderson and other analysts who had known Jung firsthand, is the author of Integrity in Depth and Energies and Patterns in Psychological Type: The Reservoir of Consciousness.
