Overview

We walk around with stories in our head all the time: some of them conscious, many of them not. These stories stay within us, out-of-sight & forgotten, but continue to exert influence.

In these twin lectures, James Hollis talks about how to discern the invisible forces or powers that move through the visible forms of the world. Consciousness can only be available to what is visible. Yet, so much of our lives are run by the invisible world. You will learn how to reflect consciously on the unconscious narrative threads that make the fabric of our life story and understand how these narratives play out in the arena of our daily lives.

James Hollis uses poetry, literature, biographies and stories from his own life to illustrate how we can explore:

  • what our life is about
  • what we are in service to and
  • what stories & myths are guiding us.

These lectures are packed with rich insights into concepts like repetition, patterns, overcompensation, splits, ambiguity, polarization, resonance, calling, vocation, individuation, symptom, false self, analysis and complexes. Dr.Hollis’ descriptions will help you grasp the essence of these concepts & what they look like in a life lived.

These lectures were originally presented at the C.G. Jung Society of St. Louis and have been remastered by Jung Platform.
