The Splitting of the Spirit
The Red Book Pgs 240-241

To understand the serpents and the blood we confront, we must accept incapacity. Under this incapacity, of course, is our wound, the wound of trauma, the wound we all carry.

This means that most capacity that we have is actually an avoidance of trauma. Survival builds great buildings, great structures; survival builds great ways to defeat bad things such as weather and diseases. Our intelligence is strongest when we are defended against something terrible. War produces the greatest amount of change because the threat forces us to be more inventive.

A few first words:

           In 2009, Carl Jung's Red Book was finally released to the public after being kept secret first by Jung himself and then by his family for over 50 years. At first glance, Marc Bregman, founder of North of Eden Archetypal Dreamwork, recognized in Jung's story the alchemical process  that he and his clients had been undertaking through Archetypal Dreamwork for almost 40 years.

The Red Book reveals the journey Jung took into the unconscious to confront his failings and his resistance to the Spirit of the Depths, what Marc calls the Archetypal Realm. Ultimately, he faced into the terror of his own transformation to becoming his soul, what he referred to as the Self.

Jung's immense struggle and ultimate surrender to the divine within reflects the passage through resistance to acceptance and devotion that is offered to each of us in our dreams.

In this blog, Marc opens, explores, expands, and excavates passages from The Red Book to illuminate Jung's profound descent to find his soul self. Just as Jung had the courage to undertake his journey into the desert, so we too can embark on our journeys as offered through our dreams.

Join Marc for this exciting exploration of Archetypal Dreamwork and The Red Book.

Bio: Marc Bregman

Marc Bregman founded Archetypal Dreamwork in 1973 and has been evolving this work as a student of his own dreams and those of his clients in the almost 40 years since. With his partner, Christa Lancaster, he founded North of Eden, an organization dedicated to Archetypal Dreamwork.  Marc and Christa are master teachers at the Center for Archetypal Dreamwork, and have presented this work in workshops, retreats, and talks throughout the United States and in Canada, Bermuda, and Europe, as well as in radio and television interviews. Among other books on Archetypal Dreamwork, Marc is the author of The Deep Well Tapes series and Dreaming Metaphysical (click for blog), a book of short, accessible teachings related to the stages of Archetypal Dreamwork. He and Christa are also the authors of Flesh Off the Bone: Dream Descent through Past Life Trauma (click for blog).

Susan Marie Scavo, the co-founder, director, and senior editor of North of Eden Press, has collaborated with both Marc Bregman and Christa Lancaster, cofounders of North of Eden Archetypal Dreamwork, on all of their books. Her fierce devotion to this work has been the catalyst for every publication by North of Eden Press. Susan Marie is executive co-director of North of Eden with her partner Bill St.Cyr. She is the co-founder and co-editor of deLuge, an online literary and arts journal devoted to Archetypal Dreamwork, a dreamwork therapist, and a teacher at the Center for Archetypal Dreamwork.
