\"\"<\/a>with Anthony Stevens, MD<\/p>\n

This episode is part one of the series The Archetypal Realities of Everyday Life<\/a>. It was recorded in 1986.<\/p>\n

This seminar examines the ways in which the archetypes of the collective unconscious guide, form, and vitalize our daily existence. We can perceive this archetypal influence subjectively in consciousness and objectively in art and literature.\u00a0 As Jung wrote: \u201cThe impact of an archetype, whether it takes the form of an immediate experience or is expressed through the spoken word, stirs us because it summons up a voice that is stronger than our own\u201d. In this seminar works of art from pre-historic times up to the present are examined to see how they both express for us and evoke in us the fundamental archetypes of the human experience.<\/p>\n

NOTE: We do not have the images that were used in this seminar, though we know one of them is\u00a0Hans Holbein\u2019s<\/a> painting The Ambassadors<\/em>\u00a0(below).<\/p>\n
