The collective belief in the End of the World, as described in the Biblical Book of Revelation, can be seen in public reaction to terrorist outrages such as those of Sept. 11, in the preoccupation with disasters, in the obsession with UFO's and the possibility of encountering extra-terrestrial life, and in the breakdown of social structures. Edinger argues that this very real psychological force is vitally important for our times, and he offers an alternative to catastrophe through understanding the meaning of these radiant scriptures.

Zeus, Aphrodite, Apollo, Artemis, Athena--do the gods and goddesses of Greece have anything to say to us that we haven't already heard? In this book, based on a series of his lectures, the eminent Jungian analyst and writer Edward F. Edinger revisits all the major figures, myths, oracles, and legends of the ancient Greek religion to discover what they can still reveal--representing, as they do, one of the religious and mythic foundations of Western culture. Building on C. G. Jung's assertion that mythology is an expression of the deepest layers of mind and soul, Dr. Edinger follows the mythic images into their persistent manifestations in literature and on into our modern lives. He finds that the gods indeed continue to speak as we grow in our capacity to listen and that the myths express the inner energies within all of us as much as ever. Heracles is eternally performing his labors, Perseus is still confronting Medusa, Theseus is forever stalking the Minotaur, and Persephone is still being carried off to life in a new realm.

Jung's Aion laid the foundation for a whole new department of human knowledge, a scholarly discipline one might call archetypal psychohistory. It is based on the application of the insights of depth psychology to the data of cultural history. The historical process can now be seen as the self-manifestation of the archetypes of the collective unconscious as they emerge and develop in time and space through the actions and fantasies of humanity. In Aion Jung took the archetype of the God-image (the Self) as his subject and demonstrated how it has revealed itself progressively in the course of the Christian aeon. It is an awesome work that makes great demands on the reader. The present book is an attempt to mitigate this difficulty and to makeAion more accessible. The Aion Lectures is based on an edited transcript of lectures given at the C.G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles, 1988-89. Besides being an in-depth study of Jung's Aion, it contains a wealth of material for understanding the meaning of dream images. Edward F. Edinger, M.D., is also the author of The Mysterium Lectures: A Journey through Jung's Mysterium Coniunctionis and The Creation of Consciousness: Jung's Myth for Modern Man. Deborah A. Wesley, Ph.D., is a graduate of the C.G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles. "From the first page we have the sense of being with a guide who is both experienced, knowledgeable, trustworthy, and at the same time humble in the face of the material we study together." - Round Table Review.
