Jungianthology is a project of the C. G. Jung Institute of Chicago: jungchicago.org/ As an introduction to Moore’s perspective and voice, we are sharing the first hour of his previous workshop with us, Cultivating Soul (jungchicago.or..., which included two parts:
Part 1: Ageless Soul (www.amazon.com...)
Thomas Moore will speak about the themes of his book, Ageless Soul, and engage in conversation with attendees and analysts. Ageless soul offers positive and inspiring guidance for becoming a full person as time goes by. Since we are all aging, it is for anyone who has ever thought about getting older. It’s especially valuable for people 50 and over. It seems more difficult than ever these days to deal creatively with aging. This book provides a deep and comprehensive plan that sees aging not as losing capacity but as becoming who you are destined to be, a real human being. It covers key matters, such as:
- the shock of discovering that you’re getting older
- how to keep your youth in a deep way
- how to manage your sexuality as you age
- how spirituality can mature and become more important over time
- how to value your life by leaving a conscious legacy for your family and your society
- responding well to loneliness and depression
- nurturing friendships and community as you get older
Part 2: Care of the Soul in Troubled Times (www.amazon.com...)
For all of our problems, our times are in many ways better than the past. Throughout history, much has been achieved creatively in very troubled times. This is a time to resist the culture (contemptus mundi) and live your own life of excellence and beauty. It’s a time to assume leadership for change and returning to eternal values. Study the best of lives in our past and be inspired toward creativity and excellence (aréte).
This seminar was recorded on October 28, 2017.

Every sentence is precious
How profound. Life doesn't have a sequence. Be thankful for enemies. The best teachers. Pain and misery broke me then made me. Thank you.
Wisdom! Thank you!
Thank you so much for these extraordinary teachings...I love playing and being around little kids..they are so free and alive
This is synchronisation as it has answered the questions I have been asking and more. My path was illumination with my latent self understanding and how relieved and joyful I feel. To fully embrace the process of ageing is not to be feared as portrayed by society but as an acceptance of all that you have learnt - good and not so good but in the understanding at whatever point we are accepted by a power greater than ourselves. What a realisation.
So, trauma is aging. I understand that so well. It will definitely influence the peace of our soul. The good will come of how we transform as a result to trauma. Many people say that their disease is what was the best thing they ever experienced.

Being hit by lightning I ask each day why? I stay in hope!

Cosmos/Psyche Logos/Love
Introduction too long.
Psyche means spirit, not soul. Consciousness stuff, head stuff, not unconscious stuff
One should be able to 'go' when we feel ready-with the help of Professionals and not just wait for the end. Psyche as well Soul.
Yes, I think that too
Religion has put the kibosh on that idea
Wisdom! Thank you!
Wisdom! Thank you!
