C.G. Jung wrote that every religious creed is originally based both upon the experience of the numinosum and upon trust or loyalty, faith and confidence in a certain experience of a numinous nature and the change of consciousness that ensues. (CW 11, para. 9)
Both Jung and Francis of Assisi experienced the numinosum and had a shift in consciousness, but both explored the experiences differently. Jung searched for understanding the numinous through scientific and medical means while Francis of Assisi pursued the investigation through mystical engagement with the divine and identification with the poor. Both however came to a similar conclusion: that all things were interconnected.
Francis of Assisi is familiar for his love of animals, embrace of the poor and founding of the Franciscan community. These archetypal themes have been projected into our consciousness and embraced by our society. Among his accomplishments is the first known example of poetry in modern vernacular Italian, the Canticle of the Creatures, or more popularly the Canticle of Brother Sun and Sister Moon.
This seminar will focus on the deeply radical life and thought of “Il Poverello,” the Little Poor Man of Assisi, as well as on the mystical themes of the Canticle of Brother Sun and Sister Moon. We will explore his mystical engagement with the divine which resulted in his approach to spirituality.
