Carl Jung and Gnosticism - Discussion and Overview
Details
What if ancient Gnostic myths were not just theological ideas — but maps of the human psyche?
In this special event, we’ll explore the deep and fascinating connections between Carl Jung’s psychology and Gnostic thought. Jung didn’t merely study Gnosticism as a historical curiosity; he saw in it a symbolic language for inner experience, transformation, and the quest for gnosis—direct knowing.
Together, we’ll look at:
- Why Jung was drawn to Gnostic texts and imagery
- Gnostic myths as expressions of psychological and spiritual processes
- Concepts like the Divine Spark, Sophia, the Demiurge, and how Jung interpreted them psychologically
- The role of individuation as a modern form of gnosis
- What these ideas might mean for seekers today
This event is designed to be discussion-based and reflective, welcoming both newcomers and those already familiar with Jung or Gnosticism. You don’t need prior expertise—just curiosity and a respectfull willingness to explore ideas that blur the line between psychology, spirituality, and myth.
