Kaye Lindauer – Emily Dickinson and C G Jung: Soul Mates
February 5, 2024 at 04:26AM
Both Dickinson and Jung were on a quest for self-discovery. Both wrote from their own experience of understandings that came to them from a deeper knowing, or in Jungian language, from the Self. They knew how to listen and how to reflect on the messages, accepting the complexity of the human psyche. What came to them was a ‘gift’, but giving a voice to their intuitions and imaginations in their writings, required intelligence and focus. Topics concerning soul, hope, possibility, mystery, and transformation will be discussed as Dickinson’s poetry will be studied ‘side by side’ with writings of both Jung and post-Jungians.
