Common Territory Different Maps: The Archetypal Underpinnings of Religious Practice
Jung described the world religions as the “great therapeutic systems” developed by humankind to mediate and contain the profound experience of encounter with the numinous. Jung believed that every religious tradition finds its roots in the archetypal realm, wherein lies the diversity of patterns that give expression to the “religious instinct” which evolves into religious practice.
This set, led by Jungian analysts who teach from their own religious orientations, explores the evolution and meaning of the tenets of a variety of world religions. Through careful consideration of various central themes common to religious experience (for example, methods of practice, the role of authority, gender roles, attitude toward the material world), this course offers the listener an insightful viewing of the ways in which the religious impulse has taken form and shaped culture and individuals alike.
This set includes the following lectures (click on the individual lectures to listen to samples):

Vasavada, Arwind
Arwind U. Vasavada (1912-1998) was born and raised in India. In
the 1950’s, he traveled to Zurich to study at the Jung Institute and to work in analysis with C.G. Jung. Although he had only a few sessions with Jung, he considered him his guru, a title which Jung himself did not accept in the
Indian sense but gave Vasavada nevertheless some important “transmissions,” to put it in the terminology of Hindu tradition. After finishing his training in Zurich, Vasavada returned to India to open an analytic practice. June Singer visited him in India in the early 1970’s and invited him to come to Chicago, an invitation that he gladly accepted. Vasavada lived and worked as a Jungian analyst in Chicago through the 1970’s and 1980’s, and he was a founding member of the Inter-Regional Society of Jungian Analysts and the Chicago Society of Jungian Analysts. He had a strong and dedicated following of students in Chicago until he retired in the early 1990’s and moved to his son’s home in the state of Washington. After that he visited Chicago intermittently until his death (in India) in 1998.
