In the darkness and primal fire of prehistory, a consciousness awakens. Gradually it takes on an identity and begins a journey, aided by a serpent companion, that lasts for millennia. Finally, an event occurs that is so momentous that it is able to see and integrate its own rejected son into itself. When this occurs, it is transformed from a consciousness that thinks it’s God, to one that actually is God!

A meeting between C.G. Jung and Rabbi Leo Baeck took place in Zurich in October 1946 at the Savoy Hotel Baur en Ville. Very little is actually known about this meeting. There are no extant notes or reports from the principals indicating what was said or discussed. There was no secretary present taking down minutes of the conversation. What is known from the few documents attesting to this meeting is that it took place at Jung’s request and that Baeck did not wish to meet with Jung. The play is an imaginative construction of what might have happened in this historic meeting of two great men.

In this second book  in the series, Map of the Soul – Shadow: Our Hidden Self, Dr. Murray Stein explores the dark recesses of our psyche, as well as the shadow images in BTS’ latest songs in their album Map of the Soul: 7. The Korean Pop band, BTS, has been taking the world by storm with a series of albums inspired from Dr. Stein’s concepts titled Map of the Soul. Dr. Stein has joined them in expressing these same Jungian themes in a companion book series.

Readers today are especially thrilled by the prospect of good news. Drought and global warming, civil war and famine, poverty and economic inequity—yes, bad news abounds. This book by Dr. Stephen Wilkerson, on the other hand, is about hope and optimism for the future. The recorded history of our world is largely one of a sometimes worthy patriarchal striving. It has, however, all too often been tarnished, marred, and horribly disfigured by the hatreds, intolerance, and destruction that have accompanied it. And the good news? There is another way, poignantly and persuasively outlined nearly two hundred years ago by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, involving the Divine Feminine.

Hay un gran interés en la cultura actual sobre la idea de Persona y el mapeo psicológico del mundo interior. De hecho, el interés es tan fuerte que la banda superestrella de pop coreano, BTS, ha tomado los conceptos del Dr. Murray Stein y los ha incluido en el título y la letra de su último álbum, Map of the Soul: Persona.

A luminous spiritual memoir inviting the reader to the practice of silent prayer. Rooted in her Judeo-Christian tradition, author Susan Tiberghien welcomes the wisdom of other traditions and calls us to embrace our shared humanity.

In this 20^th Anniversary Edition, Tiberghien writes an Afterword to update her journey, opening the confines of her own darkness and finding atonement in the natural world and in the presence of Sophia, the “hidden wholeness” of creation.

Chiron Publications is honored to publish the Collected Writings of Murray Stein. 

Volume 1 – Individuation in hardcover is now available for purchase.

Author Henry Abramovitch comes from a culture that encourages people to ask why. As a Jungian analyst, he also values questions.  In reading the life stories of “Great Individuals,” he often found himself asking the question, “Why?” Why did Arjuna, greatest general of his age refuse to fight? Why did Socrates remember his debt to Ascalapius, the god of healing, only in his last breath? Why did Jesus, the prophet of love, curse an innocent fig tree? Why did Abraham agree to kill the son he loved the most? Why did Lot’s wife look back? Why did Odysseus come home as a stranger?

In this book author John Cahman traces the history of Western Civilization as a developmental process and shows how our time marks a great turning point in that story as we leave an age of sexism, racism, and hierarchy and enter one of individuation.

Naming the Gods: Cy Twombly’s Passionate Poiesis concerns itself with the contemporary art work of Cy Twombly and his radically innovative and necessary forms of creating for our times as seen against the deep background of classical Greek mythology. In particular, the two entwined figures and images of Orpheus, lyre player, lover and journeyer to the underworld, and Dionysos/Bacchus, god of wine, ecstasy and madness, are taken up as the two principal thematic leitmotifs which animate and overarchingly inform Twombly’s entire artistic oeuvre across all the mediums in which he worked, both literally and symbolically, from the early 1950’s until the last series of brilliantly colored paintings he made just before his death in 2011.
