This dialogue is an introduction to Frank McMillan III and an exploration of his new paper “Whom Shall I Send? Postmodern Revelation and the New Reality in Jung”, published in Jung’s Red Book for Our Time: Searching for Soul In the 21st Century – An Eranos Symposium Volume 5.
Frank is an award-winning author, educator, the founder of The Frank N. McMillan Jr. Institute for Jungian Studies at The Jung Center in Houston, Texas, and a board member of Pacifica Graduate Institute. JUNG Archademy founder Gary S. Bobroff, M.A. and Cynthia Cavalli, Ph.D. are happy to be co-hosting this conversation.
We’ll talk with Frank about his lifelong connection to Jung, his book Finding Jung and the important issues he brings forth in his latest paper. We’ll explore the spiritual crisis of modern humanity that Jung first brought to our attention. We’ll talk about the modern evidence for the reality of the extension of psyche in biology and quantum physics and why a purely materialist point of view is no longer sufficient. Finally, we’ll consider the importance of understanding synchronicity’s new vision of reality and why “moderns are good Freudians, but poor Jungians.”
