An Enormous Spiritual Task | Carl Jung's Warning | Mapping The Shadow Series

This episode explores the integration of three incomplete paradigms - religion, materialism, and psychology - as the "enormous spiritual task" Jung warned was essential for civilisation. I examine how each perspective provides valuable insights but creates shadow when taken alone. The Seven Habits of Individuation model offers a practical framework that unites understanding, morality, and discipline to address both personal and collective shadow material. The episode covers:

- The three paradigms of religion, materialism and psychology - and how each is incomplete

- Why the integration of these paradigms is necessary for personal and collective development

- How western society oscillates between materialism and attempts at spirituality

- The Seven Habits of Individuation model as a framework for this integration

- Why mysticism might represent the synthesis our fragmented approaches need

- The consequences of failing to address our shadow material on a civilisational level

This is part of an ongoing series exploring Shadow Mapping™ and Shadow Dialectics - a comprehensive approach to understanding psychological dynamics and transformation.
