It is our nature to transform ourselves from time to time; to cling to old ways is to resist a fundamental law of nature- death before rebirth. In Paths to Transformation, Kate Burns traces this process, correlating it with rituals of initiation and amplifying the stages with a rich collection of images, dreams, and case studies. Historically, the passage from adolescence to early adulthood was supported by extensive rites, and we now know that the absence of such rites in modern life has cast youth adrift and rendered them immature and dependent beyond their years. Similarly, our ancestors venerated aging, including its mortal goal, as a summons to wisdom rather than a horror to be resisted by every possible means. During the expanding years between youth and death, the question of how an individual is to find a personal path worthy of the soul becomes most pressing in our postmodern world.Kate Burns is a Jungian analyst with a private practice in Houston, Texas. With an undergraduate degree in mathematics, she worked as a geophysicist until a downturn in the oil industry sent her back to school for an MBA from Rice University. A desire to explore spiritual issues led her to pursue a master's degree in counseling, followed by studies at the International School of Analytical Psychology, Zürich. She has taught classes at the Jung Center in Houston since 2005 and has devoted herself to the practice of yoga since 2000. She serves on the board of directors for Jungians in Training Zürich, an organization raising awareness about C. G. Jung, his life and work."This book is both healing wisdom and a guidepost. Kate Burns lucidly shows us how numinous events invade our settled and crafted worlds and challenge us to enter into deep dialogue with the psyche, beckoning us to let go of the old and worn out and go forward into adventure, renewed life, and liberation from social conformity. She speaks with a sage voice that is at once profound and humble. So illuminating are her insights, and so alive her discussions, that I found it difficult to put the book down."-C. Michael Smith, PhD, author of Jung and Shamanism in Dialogue: Retrieving the Soul/Retrieving the Sacred"Kate Burns brilliantly illumines the difficult passages which occur in the lives of all of us. Sharing personal stories, case studies, and the insights of depth psychology and anthropology, she defines the various stages of transformation and reveals how one can participate more knowingly in the process of personal growth."-James Hollis, PhD, Jungian analyst and author of Hauntings: Dispelling the Ghosts Who Run Our Lives and What Matters Most: Living a More Considered Life

Whether you are reading Greek mythology for psychological insights or studying the classics in college, there are a number of goddesses who have been almost entirely over-looked. They are who John Sanford calls the lesser-known goddesses. However, there is nothing lesser about them. They personify the deeper elements that exist across all life, nature, and spiritual reality. Our current culture often neglects their qualities but would be wise to increase its understanding of them.Many books, including the bestseller Goddesses in Everywoman by Jean Bolen, illustrate well-known goddesses who are the main characters in their stories. But behind the scenes and often running their personalities are the lesser-known goddesses from the ancient matriarchal era of Greek culture. To bring forward their spiritual meaning, Sanford has pieced together information from various Greek stories, plays, and poems. In so Boing, this unique book reacquaints us with:PEITHOGoddess of gentle persuasion who wins love by consent rather than force.THE THREE CHARITIËSGoddesses of Beauty, good cheer, and abundance who inspire both charm and grace.AIDOSGoddess of modesty, self-respect, and shame whose sensitivities heighten the joy of love.ANANKEGoddess of necessity who brings the realization of what must be done.THEMISGoddess of right order who shows the rule of lines, limits, and boundaries.ATËGoddess of folly, ruin, and sin who disregards all morals and consequences.THE THREE FATESGoddesses of the unchangeable, and fateful events whose irrationalities shape each person's life.THE THREE ERINYESGoddesses of fury who unleash the unceasing, relentless, and envious anger of feminine justice.DIONYSUSGod and goddess of ecstasy who vitalizes life through divine energy and creative Inspiration.JOHN A.

There is a need to learn how to say no in a way that strengthens love rather than destroys it. Analyst Peter Schellenbaum contends that if partners do not learn to say no in a lover relationship, they will soon forget how to say yes, which soon creates an inability to communicate with one another.Maintaining one's identity while becoming involved in the emotional life of another has become a particular challenge for modern couples. Schellenbaum explores the problem of boundaries within intimacy in both successful and unsuccessful relationships.From a Jungian point of view, he offers insight into delimitation and surrender in the erotic relationship. The author marks the progress of love relationships from the beginning, with all the enthusiasms and unbounded hopes, through to the shrinking back to more realistic everyday dimensions.He explores three developmental stages in emotional relationships: Fusion, where the distinction between the two personalities is blurred; Projection, where the unconscious parts of oneself are erroneously cast onto the other, thereby separating individuals from each other and their surrounding; and mutual reflection of the guiding image, wherein the beloved becomes a guiding image reflecting previously unknown possibilities for loving.Table of ContentsPart I: The Covert No Destroys LoveDoes Saying No Belong in Love?The Tragedy of the Happy CoupleMerging and Resisting The Self-Destruction of the Stronger PartnerPursuit and Flight without LoveHeterosexuals' Homosexual FantasiesPart II: The Overt No in LoveDelimitationHate and LoveLove Relationships without Sexual IntimacyBecoming More Feminine, Even as a ManPart Ill: Must One Choose Between I and Thou?The No of Separation and DivorceSurrender and Discovery of Self in SexualityThou Art an Image of my Secret LifeThe Attitude of Eros

"The strongest impulse leading me to write this book is my conviction that the women's movement is, or should be, just as much a matter for men as for women. I want to react, to respond as one male human, to the discovery-described for the most part by women-that the history of humanity over the past several thousand years has also been a history of the oppression of women by men.From the viewpoint of many feminist authors-among whom I include myself, although with some hesitation-all men are oppressors and exploiters of women, not necessarily because they want to be, but because both men and women have become so used to the collective pattern of the oppressive man and the oppressed woman that they have to follow this schema even against their will. I would have a bad conscience if I did not attempt to voice this conviction. To do this, though, I have to risk such daring undertaking as to say what I understand women to be, and men to be….." -Helmut BarzTable of ContentsAre Women Really Like This?This Is What Men Are Like!Feminine and MasculineSexuality and ErosMother and ChildDaughters, Sons, Mothers, Fathers: Humanity and the Image of GodFeminism and Jungian Psychology: Toward a Productive Synthesis

Based on Jungian symbolic psychology, this book attributes an archetypal foundation to the ego defense mechanisms of psychoanalysis and describes the possibility that all psychological functions are creative or defensive. Analyzing Peter Shaffer's play Amadeus, Carlos Amadeu Botelho Byington describes envy as functioning creatively and defensively in the relationship between Mozart and Salieri. He demonstrates how psychoanalysis followed the biblical book of Genesis and the Christian doctrine of original sin and "scientifically" stigmatized envy. He asserts that this bias originated in severe cultural pathology, which greatly distorted the Christian myth by repressing creative envy because of its extraordinary revolutionary potential for individual and cultural development.This book defends the thesis that envy is a normal and important function for the development of Individual and Cultural Consciousness, and that it only becomes destructive when its creative function is frustrated.By analyzing the relationship between Mozart's genius and Salieri's creative insecurity, the author goes back to Genesis, to the concept of original sin in Christianity and to psychoanalysis to show that envy has been disdained and repressed in the history of humanity by the fear we have of our creative power. Envy is a sister of ambition. Both strive equally for development. Ambition stimulates the Ego, and envy covets what belongs to the other. Traditional Consciousness is manichaeistic and radically divides psychic functions into Good and Evil, right and wrong, beautiful and ugly. This obliges Consciousness to become unilateral, repressing the side it judges to be bad. The repressed contents form an intense shadow in the Unconscious, which are projected onto others and treated with hostility. This is the ternary and paranoid history of Humanity, in which the Ego sees Good and Evil in Others and not in itself.At the heart of Carlos Byington's thinking is his description of the Alterity Archetype. This is a four-sided pattern of Individual and Collective Consciousness in which the Ego becomes aware of the Consciousness-Shadow polarity in itself and in the Other. The Alterity Archetype is the paradigm of Love. Creativity, Social Democracy and Sustainable Economics. It enables us to see all psychic functions. including envy, acting for Good or for Evil, in Consciousness and the Shadow of Individuals and Culture.CARLOS AMADEU BOTELHO BYINGTON is a doctor, psychiatrist, educator and historian. He went to secondary school in the United States of America, qualified in medicine and psychiatry in Rio de Janeiro and completed his post-graduate studies at the Jung Institute in Zurich, Switzerland. On Returning to Brazil, in 1965, Byington expanded Jung's archetypal concept to include Individual and Collective Consciousness. In 1983, by studying the sociocultural transformation process in Latin America, he formulated the Archetypal Theory of History, based on the ideas of Hegel, Jung, Bachofen, and Erich Neumann's Mythological Theory of Consciousness. According to Byington, all psychic functions are archetypal structuring functions of consciousness. He attributes a central position to envy, as important as sexuality, love, strive for power, jealousy and fear.
