Discussing the tragedy of New Town, Ct, and the rape and murder of the young woman in India, we will examine what it is in our own psyche that we continue to project into the outer world, that results in an increased sense of collective treat and paranoia. We will also discuss the moral and ethical issues of a nation sanctioning the use of assualt weapons for civilian use, and the issue of national culpability. It is our lack of understanding of the power of these unconscious forces, coupled with a refusal to look at the nature of what these contents are, that drives much of our behavior.

So how is it that despite the perennial wisdom on heroes taught to us by Wiesel, Joseph Campbell, Jung, and M. L.von Franz, that we persist in bestowing this mantle of importance on individuals unable to carry this archetypal pattern and mandate on their all too human shoulders?    Is the saga of Lance Armstrong yet another story of our need to both inflate and glorify values that in truth are far from heroic? When this happens, both the individual and the collective are left with disappointments, betrayals and loss of hope, leaving all involved in terribly compromised positions?    In this edoside, we will look at the archetypal factors driving Lance Armstrong's fall from grace, and the patterns which reveal the deeper  00:28:00Assisi InstitutenoArchetypes,Conforti,Archetypal Patterns,Lance Amstrong,CG JungPatterns of the Fall: Lance Armstrong     Elie Wiesel spoke of the hero as that truly unique person who cares more for the spiritual welfare of their communihttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/assisi-institute/2011/04/01/archetype-of-the-caregiverPsychologyhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/assisi-institute/2011/04/01/archetype-of-the-caregiver/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/assisi-institute/2011/04/01/archetype-of-the-caregiverFri, 01 Apr 2011 16:00:00 GMTArchetype of the CaregiverDr. Michael Conforti talks with Richard Anastasi, Executive Director of "Caring For The Caregiver"00:30:00Assisi InstitutenoDepth psychology,archetypes,Jung,Caregiver,GriefDr. Michael Conforti talks with Richard Anastasi, Executive Director of "Caring For The Caregiver"http://www.blogtalkradio.com/assisi-institute/2011/03/18/the-objective-psychePsychologyhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/assisi-institute/2011/03/18/the-objective-psyche/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/assisi-institute/2011/03/18/the-objective-psycheFri, 18 Mar 2011 20:00:00 GMTThe Objective PsycheIn his classic book, "The Way of the Image," Yoram Kaufmann, PhD, writes: "true creativity comes from the mysterious conjunction of the original, unexpected, subjective, and the predetermined guidelines dictated by an orient...in Jungian psychology those guidelines are inherent and embedded in the image."

All human beings throughout time, across space and culture, instinctively store experience instinctively in story form. Story is one way spirit takes shape in matter; psyche becomes conscious in us in stories. As I have written recently in my public journal on my website, human beings are hard wired for story and story telling. Our internal conversations are programed to speak in the language of story. What I mean is this. Our mental patterning, the we we store, process, plan and remember, is organized as narrative. It is often difficult to become present enough, conscious enough, to yourself to see what that story, that myth, is. For now, just consider that every experience a person has is stored in the form of a story. The rose on the dining room table has a story; what happened at school or the office today is stored and shared as a story; even a complex scientific principle, such as E=MC2 is telling a story. "Each of us has her or his story. One's personal myth engenders meaning, and grounds her or him in the center of her or his life as nothing else can. The problem is, many people do not know what their story is, or they know it only partially. In psychotherapy we work with stories...When we reflect on the great stories that have withstood the test of time, we gather the "prima materia," the archetypal and instructive background of the narrative structure within the inner story. 00:30:00Assisi InstitutenoAssisi Institute,story archetype,mental patterning,psychotherapy,Michael ConfortiExperience is stored as story.
