S2 Ep 33. The Crisis of our Times. Part 7. The Ten Horseman of the Apocalypse

The Quest: Vision in an age of Crisis. Economic & Financial Crisis. Jungian Psychotherapy

Ten interacting crises are described; long term economic problems of American society outlined; apocalypse means the revealing, the unveiling in ancient Greek. Thus, in these times, as the crises intensify, the fissures of societies and civilisations (race, religion, class, gender) come to the surface and reveal themselves as open wounds. Spiritual growth is required.

Turning and turning in the widening gyre

The falcon cannot hear the falconer;

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;

Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world ….

The best lack all conviction, while the worst

Are full of passionate intensity.
