SUMMARY:Sacred Text Reading Group (Jung)
DESCRIPTION:Sacred Text Reading Group (Jung)  \n\n\nA twice-weekly online s
 acred text reading group. We meet on Saturdays\, 4-5\, and on Wednesdays\,
  12-1. All are wide open and you are welcome!\n\nUsing a spiritual-practic
 e approach\, in each session we will explore a different brief scriptural 
 text in depth. The aims of the sessions are educational (learning somethin
 g about the texts and traditions)\, spiritual/moral (discovering what the 
 texts ask of us)\, and community-building (getting to know each other bett
 er). Our practice usually follows this version of Lectio Divina.\n\n\nOur 
 text for Saturday\, October 30\, 2021 is from Carl Jung\, who was\, along 
 with his mentor\, Sigmund Freud\, one of the most influential 20th century
  psychologists. Jung was more interested than Freud in religion. His fathe
 r was a minister who lost his faith early in his career but felt compelled
  to carry on. In his 1935 book Modern Man in Search of a Soul\, he says th
 at part of a psychoanalyst’s job is to help their patient address spirit
 ual questions\, questions that in an earlier time the patient might have s
 ought help from a minister for. He gives his own answer to the question he
  poses here\; we may share ours with each other as we explore.\n\nIn actua
 l life it requires the greatest discipline to be simple\, and the acceptan
 ce of oneself is the essence of the moral problem and the epitome of a who
 le outlook upon life. That I feed the hungry\, that I forgive an insult\, 
 that I love my enemy in the name of Christ—all these are undoubtedly gre
 at virtues. What I do unto the least of my brethren\, that I do unto Chris
 t. But what if I should discover that the least amongst them all\, the poo
 rest of all the beggars\, the most impudent of all the offenders\, the ver
 y enemy himself—that these are within me\, and that I myself stand in ne
 ed of the aims of my own kindness—that I myself am the enemy who must be
  loved—what then?\n--Modern Man in Search of a Soul. Carl Jung. Chap. 11
  (Psychotherapists or the Clergy)\n\n\n\nThe facilitator will have a versi
 on of the text available to share\; “bring” your own if you like. All 
 are welcome\, as are your suggestions of future texts. Group members also 
 take turns facilitating\, if they want to try that role.\n\n\nTo have chec
 k-in time\, or if you are new and would like a brief orientation\, arrive 
 ten minutes early. And all are welcome to stay ten minutes after as well\,
  for more getting-acquainted time.\n\n\nHow to join:\n\n 	Join this class
