Carl Jung frequently saw spiritual and religious symbols showing up in dreams and in the psyche of individuals. Subsequently, his approach to psychology takes these symbols seriously and explores the potential meaning of spiritual experiences.
This lecture describes Jung’s view of religion and the ways in which the manifestations of the transpersonal psyche (such as numinous experiences) are related to the individual’s life situation and personality. Corbett also discusses Edward Edinger’s suggestion that, thanks to Jung, we are now entering a new stage in our religious development and which he called a new dispensation.
