Aprašymas

Jung’s most radical discovery and its power to transform consciousness in a time of crisis

• How Jung’s “reality of the psyche,” long overlooked by mainstream psychology, offers an essential map for navigating the modern world

• Examines the wetiko mind-virus, a collective psychosis rooted in materialist ideology, and shows how recognizing the autonomous psyche is both diagnosis and cure

• Integrates Jungian depth psychology, dreaming, quantum physics, Buddhist philosophy, Christian mysticism, shamanism, and alchemical symbolism into a framework for individuation and conscious evolution

In an era of escalating global disorder, Paul Levy argues that the deepest crisis facing humanity is psychological. Drawing on decades of immersion in Jungian thought, Levy makes the case that Jung’s greatest and most neglected discovery, the living reality of the psyche, is the insight that can transform the modern world. The psyche is not a byproduct of brain chemistry. It is an autonomous, creative force shaping both inner experience and outer events, possessing a reality as fundamental as matter itself.

Central to the book is Levy’s exploration of the wetiko mind-­virus, what Jung called “totalitarian psychosis,” a collective contagion that thrives on materialism’s refusal to recognize the dynamics of the inner world. Drawing on quantum physics, Tibetan Buddhist teachings, and Western alchemy, the author explores the psyche’s role in creating reality, the ontology of possession, the shadow and its projections, collective psychic epidemics, as well as individuation and creative transformation.

Jung’s Reality of the Psyche illuminates the hidden psycho­spiritual forces that shape our inner and outer worlds and offers a transformative encounter with Jung’s revelation of the living nature of the psyche.
