BEYOND PRAYER: THE EXPERIENCE OF GOD

Judith Moscu, Ph.D., Jungian Analyst

 

Jungians owe it to themselves to continue exploring the unconscious mind including that which

we call the collective unconscious and more, the “unbounded and infinite” space which escapes

even the archetypal forms, a space with no images. In doing this, we may bump into a realm

filled with the presence of an overpowering emotion… a space that many refer to as the realm

of God. Our relationship with God is limited by the conventional understanding of an entity that

can be unbounded and infinite, and this may be difficult because it is paradoxical; at times we

experience God's engagement with us (as when we feel the guidance of a dream); at other times

God seems cruelly detached from all things human. God may not be felt as personal, amicable,

soft and embracing, although at times it is! Does it sound as if God may be associated with the

unconscious? Yes, they may be experienced as having a similar but problematically paradoxical

nature. We will engage in an exploration of these ideas and related topics within a psychological

approach.

Learning Objectives: Following the completion of this program, participants will be able to:

1. Reflect on the paradoxical nature of the experience of God;

2. Understand this experience from a Jungian psychological point of view and, in the case

of clinicians, for clients; and

3. Describe connections between the experience of God and that of the unconscious.
