glou89 's review for:
Ego and Archetype: Individuation and the Religious Function of the Psyche
by Edward F. Edinger
I felt great comfort upon this second reading, like sitting with an old friend.
This is a work of analytical/Jungian psychology about the individuation process, i.e. religious experience, transcending the limitations of logic and material, and unitive wholeness. This book is a must for anyone who wants or needs to understand religious concepts from a non-theological perspective and rather from a perspective of metaphor as it relates to a person’s spiritual and mental development.
Rich in cultural and mythological parallel, the reader begins to peel back layers of myth and meaning to comprehend the depths of the eternal, multifaceted truth. Different traditions have different understandings of divinity, and this is explored here in depth, but they are all pointing toward the same thing: the transpersonal nature of being.
Tat tvam asi—you are that.
Sat chit ananda—truth, consciousness, bliss.
