What is Jungian Shamanism?
Jungian Shamanism is just one example of a scientific approach towards
ministry. If sacraments, sacred spaces and oration/dramatization are the tools
that a minister uses, Jungian Shamanism could be considered the skills and
methods through which those tools are employed.
It is the goal of this ministry not only to use these skills to unify and
motivate people of like mind, but to teach the rudimentaries of these skills in
order to enable perspective ministers to form their own unique ministries.
Jungian Shamanism is a three-fold science of Hermetics, Myomancy
and Personography.
Hermetics is the use and manipulation of environments in order to reach
desired effects in human behavior. Similar to how a Montessori School creates a
relaxed, home-like atmosphere in order to make teaching more effective. In
Religious and Spiritual Contexts, this is the science of seeking out 'power
spots' and the practice of rituals that allow others to focus, channel, and
harness their own personal, spiritual power.
Myomancy is the reading of simple signs in the environment and
people--omens, portents and seemingly micro-scopic (often, un-noticed) changes
in people and places that 'tip off' the shaman to the outcome of events that
are happening around him and provide some insight as to what will happen in the
future.
Personography is the mapping of personalities, abilities and ecological
factors and their relation to their community. The Shaman of the tribe was
often consulted for things like trade aptitude, personal health and wellness of
both the tribe and the individual.
They are based on the research of Carl Jung, who took all religions, belief
structures, tribes and congregations and broke them down into these three
sciences. Because he realized that humans are natural and life-long learners,
that they do not require a classroom and studying in order to acquire knowledge
and maintain order. That it could all be done through manipulations to the
environment and the establishment of tradition.
His work is being continued through organizations such as the Enticy Institute, Jung Circle and the Society of the Golden
Dawn.
What I am trying to do is take their work out of the classroom, out of books,
off the internet, and into real-life practice. Because I believe that it is
possible to build strong, successful, vibrant communities through these
sciences, since traditions are the basis of every successful community.
Through mastering these skills, it is possible to revive an old religion,
maintain an existing one or even create a religion of your own.
I use a process called Mithraism in order to connect
folklore and mythology with history through the exploration of paradigms
(constants).
This works off the belief that folklore and mythology are figurative
representations of real life events occurring within the closely-knit settings
of tribalism and community--as established by such modern-day philosophers as Fritjof Capra.
Universals (that is, something that is present across cultures and throughout
time--such as various personality traits and societal problems) are represented
in mythology and folklore by gods, demons, sins, virtues and acts of god(s).
Jungianism assumes that these universals are present in every community through
examining specific personality traits. The term 'god' can be used as a metaphor
for the humans that have achieved the social rank of accomplishing a standard
of uniqueness within those communities and the immortality is a metaphor for
that uniqueness.
Mithraism allows practitioners of Jungian Shamanism to construct a
timeline of personalities that have existed across cultures and around the
world and thus apply the lessons taught via Folklore & Mythology to real
life.
Jungianism is the process of manipulation: what we do to ourselves, our
environments and to other people that allows us to take advantage of the
uniqueness of those personalities.
Shamanism then becomes the diagnosis and the treatment: Who/Where are
you along this timeline and what can we do to get you a little closer to where
you need to be?
As a Shaman, I can perform this service on an individual level as a Consultation
or for a group of people acting as a Congregation.
A Consultation is a Home or Sanctuary Visit usually taking place by
appointment. During a consultation, I use the sacraments
along with the techniques above in order to improve our communication so that I
can take a picture of your life and the issues effecting it. This allows me to
zero-in on your strengths and weaknesses so that you can more effectively identify
obstacles, meet challenges, learn, heal and live happily.
I am encouraging Congregations to meet me twice a weekday either in the
Valley or Sanctuary (depending on the weather), I am also available by
appointment for a group of your choice. When I am working with a group of
people, I use the same techniques to create what is called a Least
Restrictive Environment. This is a safe, secure place that is without
boundaries which establishes a Core Behavior as a point of Unity. This
allows the group participants to find common ground and come together in order
to Communicate, Educate and Understand each other more effectively. Because it
is an environment without borders, the group is left with their goals and
obstacles more visible and are able to progress at their own pace and reach
their full potential.
This Ministry serves to utilize the science of Jungian Shamanism in order to
revive the Arcadian Belief, which is centered upon self-governance,
self-accountability and self-responsibility. A philosophy otherwise known as Anarchism.
