A single 1986 lecture on the ego’s encounter with the Self (the Greater Personality), later published in Science of the Soul (2002).
Edward F. Edinger
Edward F. Edinger (1922–1998) was an American psychiatrist and Jungian analyst, widely regarded as one of the most important interpreters of Jung. Trained in medicine at Yale, he worked in analysis with Esther Harding and was a founding member and later president of the C.G. Jung Foundation in New York. In 1979 he moved to Los Angeles, where he was a senior analyst at the C.G. Jung Institute and gave the lecture series recorded here. His books include Ego and Archetype (1972), The Creation of Consciousness (1984), Anatomy of the Psyche (1985) and many volumes drawn from his lectures.

Part 1: Encounter with the Greater Personality
1:16:15
The last talk of a series, continuing Edinger's newly published Encounter with the Self, an interpretation of Job using Blake's engravings. The ego's encounter with the Self is the central feature of Jungian psychology, and all analysis is a prelude to it. Jung, in his 1925 seminar, says analysis should release an experience that 'grips usu2026 as from above', which he would symbolise by the Annunciation.
