We are living in what the Greeks called the
KAIROS—the right moment—for a ‘metamorphosis
of the gods’ of the fundamental principles and symbols. This peculiarity of our time, which is certainly
not of our conscious choosing, is the expression of the
unconscious human within us who is changing.
—C. G. Jung
O
ur civilization, and indeed the Earth
community itself, seems to be facing a
threshold of fundamental transformation that
bears a striking resemblance to what takes
place on the individual level in initiatory rites
of passage, near-death experiences, spiritual
crises, and critical stages of what Jung called
the individuation process. Can we find a place of
equilibrium, an eye in the storm, from which we
can engage this time of intense polarization and
radical change? Join Richard Tarnas this evening
as he draws on depth psychology and archetypal
astrology as we seek together a larger context for
both understanding and action.
Richard Tarnas is professor of philosophy
and cultural history at the California Institute
of Integral Studies in San Francisco. He is the
author of The Passion of the Western Mind, a bestseller history of Western thought widely used in
universities; and Cosmos and Psyche which is the
basis of an upcoming documentary film, Changing
of the Gods, narrated by John Cleese.
