This is not the story you will read in the papers or watch on the news, but I hope it will move and inspire you.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"875\" data-start=\"560\">As we enter a new year, it is increasingly evident that the world order is breaking down and reshaping itself in ways that, until recently, few of us anticipated. \u201c[Humanity] is [its] own greatest danger,\u201d Jung warned, pointing to the very real threat of mass psychosis and the profound suffering it can inflict on millions.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"1359\" data-start=\"877\">Writing of the\u00a0<em data-end=\"919\" data-start=\"892\">metamorphosis of the gods<\/em>, Jung described a moment of decisive transformation: one that may lead to a significant increase in consciousness\u2014or to catastrophe. Near the end of his life, he reflected, \u201cSo much is at stake and so much depends on the psychological constitution of modern [humanity].\u201d But, he questioned: \u201cDoes the individual know that [<strong><em>they<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>are] makeweight that tips the scales?\u201d\u2014that each of us \u201cis the infinitesimal unit on whom the whole world depends?\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"1565\" data-start=\"1361\">I was standing at a bus station, talking with undercover explosives operatives, when suddenly I understood what Jung meant\u2014and how it works on the ground. Hope for the future, albeit precarious, returned.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"1826\" data-start=\"1567\">As we approach the fourth anniversary of Russia\u2019s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, our colleagues there are keen that those who have visited bear witness\u2014not only to the suffering, but also to the resilience, creativity, and enduring beauty of life in Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"2068\" data-start=\"1828\">BJAA invites you to let me tell you a story, to show your support for our colleagues, and to join us in reflecting on Jung\u2019s enduring question: whether it is indeed the individual who is the makeweight\u2014on whom the fate of the world depends.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dispatches from Ukraine: \u201cSo much is at stake\u2026does the individual know that [they are] the makeweight that tips the scales?\u201d (CG Jung, CW10, para 586) To mark the 4th anniversary of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
