Lecture Description
In this presentation, given by one of our time's leading Jungian Analysts, Dr. Hansueli Etter (Zurich, Switzerland), we will look at the archetypal significance of sacred texts.
The nature and behaviors of the Rabbi Jesus’ loving and eros-related approach to life offered a profound compensation for the cold, Roman power drive of the time. He sought to bring compassion back into the world within which he lived, as well as to cultivate this caring attitude for the future.
In addressing the events in the life of Jesus, and reflecting on their symbolic, archetypal meaning, Dr. Etter teaches us how to see the messages of the Self in Biblical stories and sacred texts.
