welcome to Jung Downunder 2009.

we have a programme of rich and

varied events ahead and hope

that in these interesting times you may find

sustenance here for heart and soul.

The upheavals of contemporary life provide

the impetus for our lead article ‘Ascent from the

Abyss’ by lenore Kulakauskas. Here she considers

how we may respond to today’s challenges in the

world from an engaged awareness that takes us

beyond an egoic view point to a consciousness

that deepens and expands our relationship to the

world. Further reflections on the interplay between

personal and social life can be found in our book

reviews of clive Hamilton’s The Freedom Paradox

and lynn Hume’s and Kathleen mcPhillip’s Popular

Spiritualities.

many of our programmed events also explore the

relationship between the life of the individual and

community. In march Roger Brooke will talk about

Jung’s contributions to an understanding of the

oedipus complex, and then present a workshop

‘The Family Romance’ to explore our primary

formative relationships. Pam Stavroupolous’s

may talk ‘The Politics of Depression’ challenges

the perception that depression is an exclusively

individual disorder, suggesting rather that it as an

illness whose causes arise in part from the social

and political fabric of life. while on a somewhat

sweeter note Frith luton considers collective

life from an instinctual and mythic realm in her

presentation ‘circumambulating the centre: The

Symbolism of the Bee, the Honey and the Hive’.

our first and last presentations of this programme

focus on the psyche’s response to trauma and

change. In February we welcome ernest Hartmann,

a world-renowned dream researcher, who presents

his recent research on dreaming, with reference to

the interplay of dreams and trauma. ‘can These

Bones live?’ is the evocative title of lucy Davey’s

talk in June in which she reflects on the challenges

of coping with change in her exploration of the

richly symbolic Biblical story of ezekiel.

In addition to these stimulating and thoughtful

presentations we offer two ongoing courses

for the first half of the year. The first is a James

Hillman reading group led by Peter Dicker which

will consider Hillman’s writings on all things

imaginable. The second is a course I am facilitating

entitled ‘engaging Dreams’ which is designed to

stimulate and enliven your dreamwork practice.

There is something here for everyone – we hope

2008 wAS an exciting and satisfying year for

us with Society membership numbers growing

significantly and our events being well-attended.

much credit for this goes to Tim Hartridge who has

put so much creative effort into uplifting our public

face through our Jung Downunder publications

and website. Tori collins has ably assisted Tim

particularly in maintaining the website, and

also in keeping up with the growing technical

demands of each meeting with data projection and

recording. Thanks are also due to the tremendous

organisational abilities of lenore Kulakauskas

who so expertly administers our growing number

of events and an expanding database. lenore’s

innovations have been many and ongoing,

enabling us to grow effectively. marcel Abarca

has ably stepped up to the position of Treasurer

following monica Roman’s resignation due to

ill-health. we are exceedingly grateful to monica

and marcel for so efficiently getting our finances in

excellent order.

our horizons have also expanded thanks to the

adventurous ideas of our executive committee.

Following the July panel on Depth Psychology and

climate change, Jon marshall has undertaken to

edit and oversee the production of a Jung Society

publication on the same topic inviting a number

of contributors to participate. This is our first foray

into publishing, marking an exciting new chapter in

our development. we eagerly anticipate the book

launch in the second half of 2009.

Yolanda waldman has taken the initiative to

foster a relationship between ourselves and the

Australasian college of Natural Therapies, where

she lectures. This has resulted in a generous

offer from the college to use their rooms for our

courses and to be linked to their website. This is a

great opportunity to introduce ourselves to a new

community.

June Reynolds continues to take every

opportunity she finds herself in to spread the

words of our presence and events, and to warmly

welcome newcomers to our meetings while Bo

Robertson took us to Spain this year organising a

very festive christmas Party at captain Torres with

fine food.

lucy Davey has been as busy as ever in the library

organising our ever- burgeoning shelves, ably

–assisted by both Yolanda and lenore. Jon marshall

has imported many new and exciting Jungian titles

in for our bookstall while lesley Hamlyn continues

to act as our all-rounder turning her hand and wits

to all tasks on hand.

I am extremely fortunate to be the President of

such a talented committee and am continually

buoyed by their commitment, support and passion.

we are a merry crew, and there is always room

for one more, so please contact any one of us if

you would like to become a part of a great joint

Engaging in Everyday Life Through a Jungian Perspective

The TheoryIN ADVeRTISING her address to the Analytical

Psychology club of New York at their Annual

Dinner, Heide Kolb, Jungian Analyst wrote:

The Jungian approach is unique. It is not only

a method to treat psychological problems, but

also a unique way of perceiving and engaging

in everyday life.

The everyday life of western society,

embedded in consumerism and indoctrinated

in the language of the market, has hit a

huge pothole, indeed a veritable abyss.

The perspective of the Business model has

infiltrated governments, education, industry,

communities and families. Now it is unravelling.

Its adherents are shaken, fearful and adrift.

New perspectives are urgently needed.

A perspective that encourages a conscious

awareness of the psychology of what is going

on in the world around us is required. one

which meets this requirement is the ‘universal’

perspective espoused in Jungian and post-

Jungian discourse.

This perspective, developed by the

post- Jungian wolfgang Giegerich, does

not favour ego-consciousness but instead

purposefully includes non-ego thought in the

thinking process. Inclusion does not mean

appropriation. It means admitting an image,

dream or fantasy as something deserving of

thought, albeit in a special way. This way allows

the non-ego image to be observed as a thing in

itself, yet still intimately attached, allowing both

ego and non-ego to live comfortably with each

other, not as opposites but as dual dwellers.

The ExperienceA 54-year old woman had a dream in 1998.

I am driving up a hill. There is a park and an

oval on the left hand side and a single shop

on the other side. It is called the Virgo shop.

I park the car beside a white wooden fence

bordering the park. I cross the street and go

into the shop. I am surprised how bare the

shop is. There are white floorboards and dried

tortured willow branches in a large vase.

There aren’t many books. A couple of

other people are talking to the owner.

They don’t notice me so I leave. Next I

am driving through a city. There is a lot

of traffic, pedestrians and red traffic

lights. I seem to be driving round and

round in circles, but then I make a left

hand turn and see a familiar church.

I drive up a hill onto a curved road

which turns into a dirt track. Now I

am on top of a ridge. I see what looks

like a new sub-division. I drive in. The

houses are unusual and people are

working on them. Some people are

lifting a large slab of wood up above

large glass walls. I speak to them but

they don’t answer. I don’t think they

can see me. I leave the sub-division

and drive out onto another dirt road.

I come across a group of children

sitting in a semi-circle around an old

woman who has her back to me.

She is dressed in blue. I stop. The old

woman turns to me and says: “Look

behind you.” I turn around. The most

incredibly beautiful scene lies before

me. Steep purple mountains on either

side slope down to a beautiful blue

lake, which continues on to a distant

cutting where I know it will join the

sea. The trees on the mountains are

a riot of colour – autumn tones of

reds, oranges and golds even though

it isn’t autumn. It takes my breath

away with its beauty. I could look at it

forever. I turn back. The old woman

said “That’s not all.” I look again and

see a similar beauteous scene. But

then I become aware that buildings

have appeared on my left – the colours

have disappeared. Now I see row upon

row of high-rise buildings but as I look

closer I can see they are deserted,

some in ruins. There are people too

but they are like wraiths, skeletal,

dressed in rags. I say to myself, “They

can’t see it! They can’t see it.”

when she first dreamt it, she tried to

understand it at a personal level but it

all seemed a bit fantastic, as if she had

dreamt something of mythic proportion,

hardly relevant to someone in the midst

of medication and therapy for a nervous

breakdown. It was a dream that almost

cried out to be given to others to look

at. And who was she to even find an

audience for it to be shared with?

It is 10 years later – 2008.She is ready to share the dream after

much hard work and after recognition

that ‘she’ is but one avenue through

which ‘soul’ can access itself.

The dream could have been

appropriated and presented as ‘hers’,

but in so doing would have lost its

universality and therefore its capacity to

inspire. In leaving the dream as a thing

in itself – attached to her, but only so

it had her as a potential outlet – she

had to position herself within a new

perspective, a perspective capable

of admitting dual occupancy of ego

and non-ego. Not two ‘personas’,

with which pop psychologists might

have a field day erroneously labelling

her schizophrenic, but a perspective

giving soul its rightful place alongside

ego. An occupancy where soul is not

an ‘unconscious’ underlay, but exists

simultaneously with rational thought.

where soul is capable of being brought

into the thinking process on its own

terms, thus engendering a wider vision.

The FutureThe post-Jungian, wolfgang

Giegerich, wrote:

Jung once wrote that we always

dream from within the relationship.

We could extend this statement by

saying we always dream from within

the real psychological context that

we are in as well as from the more

superficial or deeper psychological

reality level that consciousness is open

to. But this applies not only to dream

thoughts. It applies to all non-ego

thinking.

In 1998 the dream was dreamt in the

real psychological context that she was

in as well as from the more superficial

or deeper psychological reality level that

consciousness was open to.

In Jungian terms this was a ‘big’

dream, an opus magnum. It was

more than an ego-based aid to

help the woman understand herself

better or imbue her own personal

circumstances with a mythic quality.

It aided in enabling her, eventually, to

acknowledge that contradictions could

exist side by side, to allow an awareness

that she was not outside the world, an

outsider choosing to become a part of

something else, but that the world was

part of her.

The monumental challenges we, as a

species, currently face, were no longer

‘out there’ but an integral part of who

she was.

The imperative is that we recognise

that it is our perspective, or how we

see things, that needs to change. Not

through the narrow lens of the ego

itself, nor an imaginary (yet still ego-

related) lens where compassion and

solutions are dealt with ‘out there.’ ego

plus soul, conscious thought applied to

both. Here are the tools for the future to

help us ascend from the abyss.

‘ The imperative is that we recognise that it is our perspective…that needs to change…’

Reviewed by Jonathan Marshall

Clive Hamilton’s new book is perhaps one

of the most important books to have entered

Australian popular discourse in the last ten

to twenty years. It should be read, but that

does not mean it cannot be disagreed with, as

disagreement is a tribute given to a work which

stimulates thought and questions.

HAmIlToN’S starting points are that

affluence and freedom are not enough

for a satisfactory life, and that following

our desires leads to a loss of inner freedom. we

can, he proclaims, only be free by following

a moral code—this is the paradox of the title.

He then may dismiss the relationship between

morality and politics too quickly, rendering

us isolate individuals. our lives are shaped

by the forces around us, whether these are

conscious or unconscious. If we are trapped in

a shallow consumerism which leaves us empty

and depressed with little sense of direction

beyond consuming more, then that is a social

fact resulting from the kind of politics we,

and the society, pursue – and pursue up to its

destruction. when we resist the sirens, and help

others to resist, then our actions are political,

and we might as well make this conscious.

After this introduction, the book moves

into an exposition of some ideas of Kant and

Schopenhauer. Using these philosophers he

suggests that there is a radical difference between

things as they are perceived or understood

(the phenomenon) and things as they really

are (the noumenon or things-in-themselves).

while Kant proposes that we can never perceive

noumenon directly, Schopenhauer argues that

we do perceive our own existence and our bodies

immediately, and thus have access to at least

some noumenon through what he calls ‘intuition’.

Hamilton suggests that if this is the case then we

can anchor our morality in the intuition which

gives us experience of our common being. This

movement serves to complicate the idea that

morality depends solely upon ‘Reason’ or rational

calculation, and retrieves the role of emotion. His

aim would seem to be to separate spirituality and

morality from doctrinaire notions of the divine.

later in the book he makes comparisons with

Jung’s theory of individuation, pointing out that in

becoming autonomous we bind ourselves to our

fellow humans, a development which Jungians

sometimes forget. He also suggests that art moves

us to the inner world, and that some artists can

manage the marriage of heaven and hell, or the

balancing of opposites within and without. At

this point, he can suggest that the noumenon

is beyond good and evil, and he mentions Van

Gogh’s work as showing the “elemental chaos of

the noumenon” (p.233).

The Freedom Paradox: Towards

a Post-secular Ethics.

clive Hamilton, Pub. Allen and Unwin, Sydney, 2008.

B O O KR e V I e w

There are minor quibbles

that could be made about his

exposition – for instance why

is it assumed that noumenon

must be “characterised by unity

and changelessness” (p.67)?

everything we know about

them suggests that they are in

flux and constantly interacting

with other things so that they

exist in relationship, not in

themselves, and as mentioned

above they can appear chaotic.

why is consciousness taken as

a primary given, when it seems

to be learnt and again in flux

and development? However

the main query to be put to the

author is: if, despite everyone

agreeing in general to the nature

of phenomenon, our perceptions

are structured by how we

perceive and thus are not equal

to the things-in-themselves, then

why do we not equally assume

that perceptions gained through

intuition or meditative states are

not also structured by how we

perceive them? For example, a

sense of noumenal timelessness

may be a result of the

perception, not of the perceived.

A Jungian might suggest that

our perceptions of noumenon

are structured by symbols and

archetypes. This points to the

main problem I have with his

argument. Namely it does

not seem to be the case that

perception of the noumenon,

mystical experience, or intuition,

automatically leads to what

Hamilton calls “metaphysical

empathy”, and a universal and

gentle morality. our work does

not stop here.

even the vaguest familiarity

with mystical experience

suggests that we could have a

Zen practicing and enlightened

Samurai who would kill peasants

he imagined might be being

disrespectful. we have the

mystics of Nazism. we have

born-again ecstatic christians

affirming their right to endless

wealth, guns, first strike and so

on. If you shared the beliefs of

the Bali bombers, then you might

see their apparent happiness

and good humour as evidence

that they had indeed been

touched by God and seen the

true nature of things. These are

not positions that most of us,

including clive Hamilton, would

be willing to claim as examples

of ethics the world needs more

of. If we reject such contacts

with noumenon as unreal or

delusionary, that is because

we are already making a moral

decision. Therefore intuition of

the noumenon cannot be the

basis of that decision and these

kinds of experiences show that

mere contact with noumenon is

neither necessary nor sufficient

for a moral life.

The noumenon is part of our

unconscious – we are literally

not conscious of it, we are

conscious of phenomena.

Jung, to the objections of

many, never separated out

the super-conscious from the

subconscious. This was because

he recognised that the two can

be intertwined, and we often

approach the super-conscious

through the symbols provided

by the subconscious, and can

thus meet monsters on the way.

In the cases above, we could say

that people have experienced

the noumenon through the

archetype of an uncontained

warrior or through a righteous

lord of Destruction, and hence

their morality is the morality of

war and intolerance. we might

even postulate that their morality

KATHleeN mcPHIllIPS, Senior lecturer in the School

of Humanities at the University of western Sydney,

was inspired to collect and edit the essays for her

students, who were seeking ways to recognise and re-

imagine contemporary spiritual and religious expression for

their communities and themselves. Those drawn to c.G.

Jung’s thoughts on the search for meaning will also find

much to engage their imaginations in this compilation.

The editors define enchantment as “the sensation when one

experiences events or circumstances that produce a sense of

the mysterious, the weird and the uncanny… re-enchantment

brings back the imagination and the possibility of magic into

our everyday lives” (xv). This is what Jung would have referred

to as the numinous.

The essays explore very diverse expressions of contemporary

spirituality, some bordering on traditional religious expression,

came first and shaped how they

perceived the ‘ground of being’. If

so, then Hamilton has indeed failed

to find a basis for morality. The

perception of universal sympathy,

which he aims for, is only one

possible result, and that sympathy, or

compassion, may be limited to fellow

believers. If this is so, then how do

we encourage people to experience

and act upon the knowledge that

we are all in this together? Indeed,

how do we know that this process of

perceiving noumenon is both good

and useful? How do we know that

people won’t twist it to serve their

selfish or limited ends? How indeed,

to ask one traditional question, do we

know that God is good?

Answers, I suggest, can only be

achieved if we work to discover how

unconscious processes (of the psyche,

the social and the ecology) structure

our lives, and learn not only how to

live with these processes, but with

the realities and sufferings of life,

without allocating blame to others

and making them our shadow, and

still managing to act in society. This is

a political and collective therapy, and

should not rush to conclusions before

it has begun. clive Hamilton’s book

is an important step in that direction

and can be thoroughly recommended

for all who wish to explore these

issues.

Popular Spiritualities is a collection of essays exploring

the re-emergence of enchantment in the contemporary

West. The decline in traditional religions is the starting

point for a look at wildly divergent forms of spiritual

expression, and most interestingly, a look in places that

might traditionally be defined as soulless—popular culture,

the internet, mind-altering substances, literature, fantasy,

and political engagement.

some so far removed as to seem

eccentric. The book is predicated

on the idea that “people are

searching for community,

meaning and something sacred

or supernatural, and that the

new spiritualities are eclectic,

imaginative, and experimental”

(xvi). The essays present case

studies of New Age practices,

modern vampirism, goddess

worship, and spiritual practices

drawing on and expressed

in various literary forms such

as comic books, horror and

fantasy literature, and myths

and legends. In tune with

current sensibilities, eco-

paganism is well described,

as groups engage spiritually

and politically to protect and

re-enchant the environment.

Indeed, the importance of place

as a container and source of

spirituality resonates through

many of these essays. likewise

the role of community to define

and be defined by spiritual

practices is discussed in essays

on communities as diverse as

goddess worshipers, drummers,

and gay communities.

In particular I was drawn to

three essays. Bob Hodge, writing

on spiritual tourism, encourages

us to think about the meaning

of travel. The spiritual impulse

behind travel is easily lost as

spiritual pilgrims, seduced

by cheap airfares and hotel

packages, become tourists,

and return home vaguely

disappointed that their journey

became not a holy-day but a

vacant vacation.

closer to traditional religious

experience is mcPhillips’ essay

on modern marian devotion.

mcPhillips discusses three recent

Australian appearances of the

Virgin mary—in Yankalilla, South

Australia, Rockingham, western

Australia, and coogee, New

South wales—and wonders

about the intertwining of visions

of saints, and the significance of

the particular place of the visions,

in forming and de-forming

belief.

Death is the universal certainty

that we share with every other

animate being, yet it is the

most individual of experiences.

margaret Gibson’s essay on

memory and immortality

discusses the role of public

grieving as providing meaning

and comfort to the individual,

as well as uniting and defining

communities.

Popular Spiritualities is

an academic text, so some

adventurousness is required

with technical terms. And the

adventure is well rewarded.

who of us know, for instance,

that sociologists have a word

that describes the study “of

the means by which one might

be saved”? Soteriology, from

the Greek for salvation, studies

activities such as meditation,

guidance practices, spiritual

healing, and presumably more

traditional means of salvation

such as prayer and good works.

The essays in this challenging

and engaging book resonate

with several recent Jung Society

talks discussing the search for

meaning in clinical settings—in

particular, Peter Dicker’s talk on

Dionysus, Robert Bosnak’s work

on dreams, and Kath mcPhillips’

own recent talk on marion

woodman. All look at the role

of healing, the numinous, self-

identity and individuation. The

language may differ but the wish

to re-enchant the world, and

ourselves, is universal.

THIS PReSeNTATIoN will

summarize a great deal of

research work, starting with

clinical work on dreams after trauma.

Special regard will be given to the

central Image of the dream, which

appears to carry the emotional power

of the dream, and in the simplest case,

pictures the dreamer’s underlying

emotion. Thus when a dreamer

who has had a past experience of

trauma dreams of a tidal wave, the

central Image – "I was swept away

by a tidal wave" – pictures the clear

underlying emotion, “I am terrified, I

am overwhelmed.” The central Image

is especially strong (in a measurable

way) after trauma or stress. Among

other studies we examined 880

dreams systematically collected before

and after 9/11/01, and showed that

the after dreams have significantly

more powerful central Images.

This work is a central part of the

broader contemporary Theory, which

states, in brief:

1 Dreaming is part of a continuum of

mental functioning running from

focused waking through reverie and

daydreaming to dreaming.

2 Dreaming is hyperconnective

(condensation).

3 The connections are not made

randomly and are guided by the

dreamer’s emotion. The dream,

especially the central Image, pictures

the underlying emotion, and the

power of the image is related to the

weaving Threads between Self and world

Roger Brooke Ph.D.

Seminar: The significance of the father and mother in the development of the individual

THIS SemINAR will start

with an introduction to the

rapprochement that has been

taking place between psychoanalysis

and Jungian theory in recent years.

A Jungian model of infant and child

development will be presented,

defining and describing the pre-

oedipal and oedipal processes of

individuation evident in the first

few years of life. Both optimal

and damaging early relations will

be discussed, and some of the

developmental consequences will

be described. The interplay of the

personal and archetypal dimensions of

experience will be emphasized.

After this theoretical introduction,

members will have an opportunity

to reflect on some of the images and

memories in their family histories.with

a Jungian sensibility, participants will

be lead to the archetypal significance

of these experiences in the constitution

of their psychic lives. Among the

themes we might visit: attachment

and separation, light and dark, spirit

and matter, trust, psychic flexibility,

gender identity, authority, and death.

Participants will not be required to

disclose personal information they

would rather keep private, but they will

be invited to share with others some of

their experiences if they wish.

James Hillman is arguably one of the most exciting and challenging writers in the contemporary Jungian scene. Many readers find his work breath-taking, not just for the sheer audacity of his ideas but also for the poetic and original style of his writing. Join Peter Dicker in this exploration of Hillman's work.

HIllmAN’S woRK builds on

the premise, implicit in Jung’s

writings, that psyche can be

addressed in its own right, different

in perspective from spirit and matter,

yet forever intertwined with them as

well. From this premise Hillman has

been able to open up the possibilities,

(more than any other depth

psychologist, one might argue), for

where we might expect to encounter

psyche. As a consequence, his work

ranges broadly across many areas

of concern including love, suicide,

nature, cities and buildings, families,

animals, money, sex, masturbation,

war, terrorism and, of course, dreams.

In all his forays into the world ‘out

there’ Hillman continually invites us to

go down into the experience, seeking

the poetic essence at the heart of

things and experiences.

The readings planned for this group

will hopefully provide something of a

wine and cheese occasion, with many

sharp flavours to savour in small, blue-

veined bites

‘Sooner or later something seems to call us onto a

particular path... this is what I must do, this is what

I've got to have. This is who I am.’

THe SYmBolISm of the bee,

honey and the hive intertwine

but at the core is the imagery

of the circumambulation of the

centre – for bees, this is a dynamic

in the service of the queen bee

and the preservation of the hive.

In depth psychological terms,

circumambulation is linked with

mandala symbolism or the archetype

of inner order, an archetype that

Jung said was perhaps the most

important.

This centre or inner directed focus, a

dynamic of movement (circulation or

rotation) around a centre is not only

fundamental to the human religious

instinct but also quintessential in what

cG Jung expresses, in descriptions

rich in alchemical imagery, of the

psychological individuation process in

which the centre is named the Self or

inner god-image.

This lecture involves an approach

to the alchemical union of opposites

through symbolism related to the

life and nature of the bee. Some

particular opposites associated with

the bee, honey and the hive include

those of love and war, sweetness

and bitterness, the individual and

multiplicity, light and dark, order and

chaos, industry and laziness, earth

and heaven/the sky, sun and moon,

wHAT HAPPeNS when you

dream? what do your

dreams mean? How

should you work with your dreams?

can your dreams help or heal you?

These are just a few of the most

common questions we ask about

dreams. From the pioneering work

of Freud and Jung a psychological

approach to dreams has developed

leading dreamwork into a diverse

range of practices that can be

explored in and out of the therapy

room.

In this course you will be introduced

to key elements of dreamwork practice

and theory with particular reference to

Jungian and post Jungian approaches

with their emphases on unconscious

process and symbolic language. we will

explore the ways that dreams bridge

inner life and outer realities, as well

as consider what the latest research

is telling us about dreams and the

dreaming state.

You will be invited to keep a dream

journal throughout the course and be

introduced to different methods of

working with dreams through writing,

art and contemplation which will lay

the foundation for ongoing dreamwork

practice.

engaging Dreams is an educational

course suitable for those of you who

are new to dreamwork as well as

those who are looking to stimulate

an already established dreamwork

practice. learning will be through group

discussion, videos and readings as well

as through your own dream journal

work.

liberal Values and emotional Health

with reference to my book

Living under Liberalism:

the Politics of Depression

in Western Democracies, I will discuss

what I believe to be links between the

high incidence of depression and key

values of our culture. Necessarily this

raises questions about what `mental

health’ is considered to be. what,

in our society, are the characteristics

of being emotionally well? what is

the template for the psychologically

healthy person, and what kind of

subjectivity do we assume to be

optimal?

Given the dominance of liberal

values in our society, ideas about

emotional health are more shaped by

an individualist bias than we realize.

Autonomy, independence and self-

reliance are touchstones of mature

functioning, even though relationality

and interdependence most define our

existence. I will discuss how the tension

between the ̀ ideals’ of our culture

and our lived reality lead to disjuncture

between the way we feel and the

way we think we ̀ should’ be. Such

a disconnection also leads to a high

incidence of depression.

Depression is prevalent throughout western society. But while identifying `risk factors’, we rarely make the link to the liberal value system that so shapes the society in which we live. `Individualism’, `freedom’ and `equality’ are celebrated ideals. But they also harbour a `shadow side’ which is not conducive to emotional health, and which can incubate depression in various forms.

IN THIS TAlK lucy Davey examines

a number of images described

verbally in the book of the prophet

ezekiel. The work includes fascinating

narratives which aim to present an

account of ezekiel’s battle to absorb

and come to terms with overwhelming

changes in his life circumstances.

ezekiel recounts visions and describes

tasks he is set. As he conveys his

struggles to accept the reality of his

situation, he also learns that the pain

of loss of the familiar can be further

intensified and extended. while not

aiming to be a complete reading

of the Book of ezekiel, the talk will

explore different layers of meaning

and interpretation for elements such

as the valley of the bones, the chariot,

the wheels and the new city.
