Currently, she is a Lecturer in Counseling at the University of Canberra and is a practicing psychotherapist in Canberra, Australia. She is the recipient of the 2018 Frances P. Bolton Fellowship from the Parapsychology Foundation. She is author of C. G. Jung and the Dead: Visions, Active Imagination and the Unconscious Terrain.Here she describes Carl Jung's encounters with the departed during dreams and visions – as reported in his autobiography and journals. She points out that he distinguished between "souls without bodies" and the other figures of the unconscious mind. Jung's explorations are akin to encounters with the afterlife as described by Homer and Virgil in classical literature. They are also relevant to psychical research and parapsychology.New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series.

C. G. Jung and the Dead:Visions, Active Imagination and the Unconscious Terrain
No full textC. G. Jung and the Dead: Visions, Active Imagination and the Unconscious Terrain offers an in-depth look at Jung’s encounters with the dead, moving beyond a symbolic understanding to consider these figures a literal presence in the psyche. Stephani L. Stephens explores Jung’s personal experiences, demonstrating his skill at visioning in all its forms as well as detailing the nature of the dead.This unique study is the first to follow the narrative thread of the dead from Memories, Dreams, Reflections into The Red Book, assessing Jung’s thoughts on their presence, his obligations to them, and their role in his psychological model. It offers the opportunity to examine this previously neglected theme unfolding during Jung’s period of intense confrontation with the unconscious, and to understand active imagination as Jung’s principle method of managing that unconscious content. As well as detailed analysis of Jung’s own work, the book includes a timeline of key events and case material.C. G. Jung and the Dead will offer academics and students of Jungian and post-Jungian studies, the history of psychology, Western esoteric history and gnostic and visionary traditions a new perspective on Jung’s work. It will also be of great interest to Jungian analysts and psychotherapists, analytical psychologists and practitioners of other psychological disciplines interested in Jungian ideas

Full text linkRichards-Wilson, Stephani
Klaus Mann was the son of German Noble Laureate Thomas Mann. In this chapter, the author discusses the challenges of Klaus Mann who sought a Pan-European Peace in the early 20th century.

The Spectre and its Movement: the dynamic of intra and transgenerational influence
No full textSpectre is a wonderfully complex word. It is derived from the Latin root words specere and spectare, meaning ‘to watch’. What is so compelling about the association of these words is the question that arises as to who exactly is doing the watching. Does the derivation speak to one’s ability to perceive an apparition, or rather, is it that a presence is watching them? The spectre establishes an inherent engagement as the Other and proceeds to work often unknowingly and yet sometimes in conjunction with the psyche. The idea of intra- and transgenerational influence begins with the voices of the ‘Unanswered, Unresolved, and Unredeemed’ of generations inhabiting the psyche of offspring. The spectre leaves footprints, spaces or perhaps a mark, as Jung calls it, and influences and interferes with the destiny of succeeding generations. Finally, the author raises the necessary question, whether or not transgenerational influence constitutes haunting
Dissertatio inauguralis of Serbian poet Laza Kostić: 'De legibus serbicis Stephani Uros Dusan'
Full text linkOn the basis of the archival material he recently discovered, the author provides the answer to the question he asked in his recently published paper: 'Defense of doctorate by Serbian poet Laza Kostić in Pest in 1866: Dissertatio or Theses?' By analyzing the previously unknown contents of Kostić's doctoral diploma and original records from his doctoral examinations at the Royal University in Pest (1864-1866), the author concludes that Laza Kostić was awarded the title of 'Doctor of General Law', both civil and canonical (doctor universi iuris, utriusque iuris), on the basis of defending the work of a smaller volume 'Theses e(x) scientiis juridicis et politicis', but also by the presentation of dissertatio inauguralis called 'De legibus serbicis Stephani Uros Dusan'. The author believes that this information significantly complements our knowledge of the study of Dušan's legislation in the mid-nineteenth century and enables us to better understand the overall extent of Serbian cultural elite in Hungary at that time
