  Aion - Researches into the...

  C. G. Jung

  Aion is one of the major works of C.G. Jung's later years.  
   
  The title comes from the Greek word for aeon or age and refers to the age of Christianity, for, in Aion, Jung is concerned with the collective psychic development that the Christian era represents. How did it come about when it did? What psychic change did it represent? In exploring these questions, Jung (1875-1961) draws upon Christian symbolism and, in particular, the figure of Christ as a case study in the archetype of the Self.  
   
  The book begins with an account of the important concepts of the ego, the shadow and the anima/animus (here referred to as the syzygy). Jung then continues with his exploration of the Self archetype as represented through Christian symbolism and the figure of Christ. In particular, a discussion and critique of the Christian view of evil is provided. The symbolism of the fish, which recurs as a symbol of both Christ and of the devil, is examined in detail and a wide range of alchemical, pagan and gnostic material is drawn upon. The final chapter of the book proposes a model for the structure of the Self.  
   
  Aion is one of the most important volumes of the Collected Works and complements The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious. Translated by R. F. C.Hull.

It is generally held to be the most famous of a number of narratives written by former slaves during the same period.

  Who Owns The Moon? - In Defence...

  Silicon for microchips; manganese for batteries; titanium for missiles. 
   
  The moon contains a wealth of natural resources. So, as the Earth’s supplies have begun to dwindle, it is no surprise that the world’s superpowers and wealthiest corporations have turned their eyes to the stars. As this new Space Race begins, A.C. Grayling asks: who, if anyone, owns the moon? Or Mars? Or other bodies in near space? And what do those superpowers and corporations owe to Planet Earth and its inhabitants as a whole? 
   
  From feudal common land, through the rules of the sea, to the vast, nationless expanse of Antarctica, Grayling explores the history of the places which no one, and therefore everyone, owns. Examining the many ways this so-called terra nullius has fallen victim to ‘the tragedy of the commons’ – the tendency for communal resources to be exploited by a few individuals for personal gain at the expense of everyone else – Who Owns the Moon? puts forward a compelling argument for a bold new global consensus, one which recognises and defends the rights of everyone who lives on this planet.

  Future of an Illusion

  Sigmund Freud

  "Future of an Illusion," authored by Sigmund Freud in 1927, embarks on a critical examination of religion, articulating it as a psychological construct born from humanity's deep-seated needs for protection, moral guidance, and understanding of the universe. Freud posits that religion, while serving as a comforting illusion to shield individuals from the stark realities of life and the inevitability of death, is ultimately a hindrance to intellectual and emotional maturity. He argues that the progress of civilization hinges on the ability of individuals to eschew religious belief in favor of rational thought and scientific inquiry. This work not only showcases Freud's psychoanalytic acumen but also engages deeply with the sociocultural role of religion, proposing a future where enlightened reason supplants faith. Despite the controversy it stirred, particularly among the devout, Freud's critique remains a pivotal contribution to the discourse on the psychology of religion and the development of secular thought.

  Coming Full Circle is a detailed, informative guide on using psychedelics to heal that is intertwined with a deeply personal memoir of the authors own journey of healing. It will empower its listeners with a greater understanding of the true potential, limitations, risks, and nuances to the process of using psychedelics to heal trauma. 
  With each passing year, new evidence of the immense healing potential psychedelics offer for anxiety, depression, addiction, PTSD, and more emerge from credible studies and research groups. As the excitement grows, so too does the often dangerous misinformation generated by profiteers and pseudo experts. A fierce protector of those who are utilizing psychedelics as a way to heal their emotional wounds and trauma, Shannon Duncan knows firsthand the courage, determination, and vulnerability required to approach emotional healing in this specialized way. 
  "Coming Full Circle comes at a time when many are considering trying psychedelics as a means to healing their trauma. This book gives an unflinching, realistic look at what treatment resistant trauma can look like and takes the reader on a journey of healing with a raw, painfully honest delivery. It’s a powerful tale of healing emotional wounds and trauma with the help of psychedelics.” 
  -Rick Doblin, PhD, (Founder and President of MAPS, Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies) 
  “When it comes to psychedelic experiences and the management of trauma, Shannon Duncan has walked the walk. What he shares in Coming Full Circle, the result of years of direct engagement at the heart of the mystery, is both deeply healing and richly informative. Highly recommended.” 
  - Graham Hancock, author of The Divine Spark and Fingerprints of the Gods.
