The Monday Morning Memo

A Summary of Primary Elements of Depth Psychology
according to WIKIPEDIA:

Depth psychology states that psyche is a process that is partly conscious and partly unconscious and partly semi-conscious. The unconscious contains repressed experiences and other personal-level issues in its upper layers and “transpersonal” (e.g. collective, non-I, archetypal) forces in its depths. The semi-conscious is an aware pattern of personality, including everything from individual vanity to the personality of the workplace.

The psyche spontaneously generates mythico-religious symbolism or themes, and is therefore spiritual or metaphysical, as well as instinctive, in nature. 

All minds, all lives, are ultimately embedded in some sort of myth-making in the form of themes or patterns. Mythology is therefore not a series of old explanations for natural events, but rather the richness and wonder of humanity played out in symbolical, thematic, and patterned storytelling.

Random Quote:

“It happened this way: some troubled governmental bigwig hit upon the idea that the United States was going astray. Surveying our internal turmoil and strife he concluded that America’s many eruptions of discontent were interconnected and symptomatic of a single pervasive illness… He decided that the U.S. had broken with the Protestant ethic that nurtured it; that we as a nation had ‘fallen from grace,’ as he put it. He detected political, economic and cultural degeneration. And at back of degeneration he saw a bankruptcy of traditional Christian values. This gentleman convinced several other well-placed figures in government of the validity of his critique… Half the people who consider themselves Christians are dissatisfied with the church because it’s too big, too impersonal and too commercial: it doesn’t penetrate their lives as deeply as it does their pocketbooks. They’re impatient because it isn’t changing fast enough. The other half are uptight because it’s changed too much already…. The Christian establishment, no longer in touch with real life, was quaking and shaking in a crisis situation.”

- Another Roadside Attraction, p. 153, p. 156, p. 157, a purely fictional novel written by Tom Robbins in 1971. Nixon was President of the United States that year and Ted Cruz had only just been born. It would be 8 more years before Jerry Falwell would launch his Moral Majority and Pat Robertson wouldn't run for President until 1988, fully 17 years after this book was written. It was during that same window that Jim Bakker and Jimmy Swaggart would be caught with their pants down. Weirdly prescient, huh?
