Belief and Unbelief: The Space between God and Nothingness
Travis Broesche
Four Wednesdays, 5:45 - 7:15 pm
March 14-April 4
$90 ($80 Jung Center members)
What do we make of the great paradox of our age, that we live in a time of profound secularism awash in strident religion? In the spirit of Jung's "tension of the opposites," explore this space that sits between equally radical extremes. At one pole is unbending, literal "belief" in god-images confined within ancient, concretized "word." At the other is a denial, grounded in material science, of any metaphysical sense of existence. The space between these poles, however, is vast. How do we walk from the shore of unacceptable certainty out over the abyss of seeming nothingness? In Jungian language, might this seemingly perilous journey bring us closer to our Self?
