Prophets in Our Midst
Jung, Tolkien, Gebser, Sri Aurobindo and the Mother
Introduction to Sri Aurobindo and Savitri
This book begins with a chapter about Sri Aurobindo and the prophetic nature of his opus magnum, Savitri, using references from Carl Jung.
Jung's Creation Myth and Comparative Material
I then examine Jung's creation myth, using comparative material from Sri Aurobindo and the Mother.
Heart-Self Centered Transformation and Spiritual Transfiguration
I end with a note on heart-Self centered transformation and one involving spiritual transfiguration.
Jung and Mythical Psyche in Literature
I follow with a discussion on the work of J. R. R. Tolkien from the perspective of the mythical psyche, using comparative material from Jung.
Jung's View on Contemporary Religion, Gnosticism, and Alchemy
I subsequently discuss Jung's take on contemporary religion, Gnosticism and alchemy, along with his encounter with the East. Jung emphasizes the compensatory needs of the Western psyche with prophetic declarations on the psychological and spiritual transformations required for the new aeon.
Evolution of Consciousness and the Integral Structure
I subsequently examine Jean Gebser's study on the evolution of consciousness, and the demand today to develop an integral structure of consciousness, referring to both Jung, and Sri Aurobindo and the Mother.
