Description

The process of individuation is a profound journey towards psychological wholeness. In this book, Edward Edinger explores the stages of this journey, tracing the individual's search for meaning through encounters with symbolism in various forms. Edinger relates the stages of individuation to the search for meaning through encounters with the symbolic, drawing on religion, myth, dreams, and art. He argues that for contemporary individuals, the encounter with the self is equivalent to the discovery of God, leading to a dramatic shift in worldview and the possibility of a new, more meaningful way of life. Through this dialogue between the ego and the archetypal image of God, the individual can experience a profound transformation, one that changes their perspective and opens up new possibilities for living.
