The Wounded Psyche: Love and Feeling in Western Culture

Carl Jung described four different types of consciousness that we all possess. On one axis we have the Thinking and Feeling functions, on another Sensation and Intuition. Individuals and cultures tend to favour one type of consciousness at the expense of another, leaving the complimentary function in the shadows. In this talk, Robert explores our Western, English speaking world’s Grail Myth, as a representation of and guide to healing our inferior Feeling function given our culture's over reliance on thinking. Like the famous Fisher King in the Grail Myth, our Feeling consciousness has been wounded. This talk explores the creation and healing of that wound. Please note a very small portion of the talk was re-recorded for quality and there are some occasional audio distortions in the question and answers portion near the end of the talk.
