In order to do so we will consider the works of Dr.Bessel van der Kolk, a world-leading psychiatrist in the field of trauma therapy who advocates for the use of body-oriented approaches to healing, and the works of Carl Jung and Donald Kalsched. Jung is considered one of the founding fathers of the field of Transpersonal Psychology, while Kalsched is a Jungian psychoanalyst who specializes in working with trauma patients. We will see that while Van der Kolk enables us to understand trauma through scientific, diagnostic, and empirical frameworks, Jung and Kalsched illumine the “soulful, mytho-poetic, and imaginal” dimensions of trauma, its healing, and the psychosomatic nature of this process. Though these paradigms addresses trauma through very different “languages,” we will illumine the parallels between them and demonstrate how they can be considered together in order to create a more holistic, expansive, and wider reaching understanding of trauma and its healing. The harmony between these frameworks confirms that the human experience of trauma is indeed a neurobiological phenomena, as well as a psycho- spiritual one. In the course of our individual and collective evolution towards constructing a better trauma-informed society at large, both of these languages play an essential role. Kelly 5 Acknowledgments I would like to thank the Claremont Colleges community at large for the transformative last four years. I’m deeply grateful for the knowledge I have gained throughout my time here, and all those who have made it possible. I’d like to thank the 5C’s Religious Studies department for the rich diversity of classes offered, and the freedom given to students to explore the discipline our own unique ways. I received Professor Oona Eisenstadt as an advisor before ever knowing I would major in religious studies (a delightful coincidence) and she has truly enlightened my time at Pomona throughout classes, independent studies, and all her additional guidance. I would like to thank my classmates, peers, and friends for being such an integral part of my experience at the Claremont Colleges. They have helped me grow not only intellectually, but in deeply personal manners as well. The Pomona Pitzer volleyball team will forever be one of the most memorable aspects of my time in college, and I want to thank coach Valerie Townsend and all my teammates for how they’ve helped shaped my time here. A special thanks to my family for their endless support, love, and encouragement throughout this thesis writing process (and far far beyond). Thank you to my mother Marta for ensuring that I stay sane and personally healthy throughout the writing process (and life), thank you to my father Dan for the many conversations that helped guide my thesis research (and intellectual interests at large), and thank you to my twin sister Carmen for providing me with ceaseless laughter from dawn to dusk. Finally, thank you to the thinkers whose works have been central to my research. It has been a delight to spend extensive time with the works of Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, Donald Kalsched, and Carl Jung (along with many others) throughout this process, and I speak for many when saying that these works shed invaluable light on the intimate connection between psyche and soma, and the diversity of ways in which this relationship can be honored. Kelly 6 Introduction: Framing Our Comparative Synthesis Today, the word “psyche” is commonly used in reference to the human mind. The field of psych-ology, for example, can be defined according to Merriam-Webster Dictionary as “the study of mind and behavior in relation to a particular field of knowledge or activity.”1 Traditionally however, the word “psyche” was borrowed directly from Greek lexicon around the 16th century and referred to “the soul, mind, spirit; one’s life, the invisible animating principle or entity which occupies and directs the physical body.”2 In Greek, the word refers to an ancient mythological story involving “Psykhē,” a mortal woman whose beauty was so profound that men began worshipping her over other goddesses. This angered the goddess Aphrodite, who then tried convincing Eros, the god of love, to make Psykhē fall in love with the most hideous and contemptible of all men. However, upon meeting Psykhē, Eros himself fell so in love with her mortal beauty that they became lovers. This led the other goddesses into tricking Psykhē to lose the love of Eros, which then sent her into the underworld to complete a series of challenging trials before finally redeeming

  • Engaging with Insight of a Higher Order
    ENGAGING WITH INSIGHT OF A HIGHER ORDER RECONCILING COMPLEXITY AND SIMPLEXITY THROUGH MEMORABLE METAPHOR ANTHONY JUDGE Introduction Higher orders of perfection? Appreciation of higher orders of insight Complementarity of manifestations of perfection Re-cognition of higher orders of insight through "new thinking" Representation, memorability and metaphor Questionable metaphors of perfectibility meriting challenge Greater insight through holiness? Engaging with higher orders of insight Antithesis and anathema: challenge of the "Satanic"? Potential of mirroring in engaging with greater insight References Introduction This is an exploration of the process of encountering insight of a higher order -- or seemingly so. Understood in its most general terms, this could be an insight which explains everything (a Theory of Everything), a strategy which solves all problems (the Ultimate Panacea), an exemplar understood as embodying a higher order (a Leader, a Genius, a Master, a Guru, a Professor), or a totally transformative aesthetic experience (perhaps a Revelation). Also to be considered are the implications of possible higher orders of artificial intelligence from supercomputers, as well as contact with superintelligent extraterrestrials. The assumption here is that the sense of higher order implies an extraordinary sense of perfection -- relative to one's current ordinary experience. How then to engage with the experience of perfection? How to "handle" it in practice? The challenge is of course charmingly illustrated by the encounter with an unusually attractive person -- an encounter which may mysteriously conflate all the above (as when falling in love). The exploration is of current relevance to the extent that there is a degree of hope, if not anticipation, with respect to the emergence of an Ultimate Plan, perhaps articulated by an extraordinarily charismatic individual, perhaps in the light of some ultimate Theory of Everything.

The Form of Politics: Aristotle and Plato on Friendship by John Von Heyking Nalin Ranasinghe Abstract Heyking’s ascent from Aristotle to Plato implies that something Platonic was lost in Aristotle’s accounts of friendship and politics. Plato’s views on love and soul turn out to have more in common with early Christianity. Stressing differences between eros and thumos, using Voegelin’s categories to discuss the Platonic Good, and expanding on Heyking’s use of Hermes, I show how tragic culture and true politics can be further enhanced by refining erotic friendship, repudiating Augustinian misanthropy, positing minimum doctrines about soul and city, and basing reason on Hermes rather than Apollo. Keywords: Plato, Aristotle, Voegelin, Eros, Thumos, friendship, soul, Von Heyking Introduction John von Heyking’s book on friendship is as easy to read as it is hard to review.

These motifs, such as the realm of Hades and its denizens, the rivers of the underworld, the paradise of the blessed dead, and the places of punishment for the wicked, are developed and transformed through all their uses throughout the ages, depending upon the aims of the author or artist depicting the underworld. Some sources explore the relation of the world of the living to that of the dead through descriptions of the location of the underworld and the difficulties of entering it. By contrast, discussions of the regions within the underworld and existence therein often relate to ideas of afterlife as a continuation of or compensation for life in the world above.

  • The Sleep of Reason: Sleep and the Philosophical Soul in Ancient Greece by Victoria Wohl A.E
    UCL DEPARTMENT OF GREEK AND LATIN UCL Housman Lecture 2019 The Sleep of Reason: Sleep and the Philosophical Soul in Ancient Greece by Victoria Wohl A.E. Housman (1859–1936) Born in Worcestershire in 1859, Alfred Edward Housman was a gifted classical scholar and poet. After studying in Oxford, Housman worked for ten years as a clerk, while publishing and writing scholarly articles on Horace, Propertius, Ovid, Aeschylus, Euripides and Sophocles. He gradually acquired such a high reputation that in 1892 he returned to the academic world as Professor of Classics at University College London (1892–1911) and then as Kennedy Professor of Latin at Trinity College, Cambridge (1911–1936). Housman Lectures at UCL The Department of Greek and Latin at University College London organizes regular Housman Lectures, named after its illustrious former colleague (with support from UCL Alumni). Housman Lectures, delivered by a scholar of international distinction, originally took place every second year and now happen every year, alternating between Greek and Roman topics (Greek lectures being funded by the A.G. Leventis Foundation). This is the eleventh Housman Lecture, and it took place in May 2019. Cover image: Black-figure neck-amphora by the Diosphos painter. New York 56.171.25. HOUSMAN LECTURE The Sleep of Reason: Sleep and the Philosophical Soul in Ancient Greece Victoria Wohl In The Interpretation of Dreams Freud tracks the psyche along the paths of sleep, following the “royal road” of dreams. For the ancient Greeks, too, the psyche was revealed at night, not through the semiotics of dreams, but as I will argue, through the peculiar state of sleep itself.
