Description
Résumé:This article distinguishes between the "ego" of Freudian analysis and the "ego" of spiritual tradition. Using his own personal psychic and spiritual development, the writer demonstrates how the Freudian ego must grow and transform, bringing into consciousness and healing all psychic wounds. Secular depth psychology must open into a spiritual dimension when it encounters the drive in the human psyche toward the "necessary and impossible." Finally, the writer shows how our spiritual life may mature into a contemplative life in union with the divine.
