– Jung’s Unconscious and Gebser’s Structures of Consciousness

Instructor: Bob Piller, JD

 

This course is not offered for NYS CE contact hours.

What shapes your reality?  This course, Consciousness: Accessible and Unbound, explores the profound impact of consciousness on our lives.  We will journey through the insights of Carl Jung and Jean Gebser, two pioneers who illuminated the depths of the human mind.  We will delve into Jung's concept of consciousness as a “precondition of being” and Gebser's vision of consciousness as a dynamic, unfolding process.  Through their insights, we will examine how archetypes – especially those tied to power and community – and shifting structures of awareness shape our understanding of ourselves and the world.

Weekly exercises will offer hands-on engagement with your own consciousness.

  3. Use your understanding of consciousness as a reference point and tool set for experiencing consciousness differently and more intensely.
  4. Summarize how the Jungian resolution of opposites and the Gebserian concept of integrality inform your sense of identity and self in this cultural moment.
