O My Prophetic Soul! Dreams, Visions, Revelations by Michael Vannoy Adams
Topic: O My Prophetic Soul!
Dreams, Visions, Revelations
Do we, like Hamlet, have prophetic souls? According to Jung, the function of the unconscious is not prophetic but prospective an anticipatory combination of probabilities (not certainties) about the future. Self-proclaimed, so-called prophecy may also be psychopathology. Jung warns us that the sudden appearance of a prophet is often evidence of "psychic disequilibrium." From Moses to Jesus to Muhammad (who, when he came out of the cave and came down from the mountain, wondered whether the experience was truly prophetic, merely poetic, or utterly psychotic) to Joseph Smith of what value are dreams, visions, revelations? When and why does prophecy succeed or fail? Is it an inspiration, or is it a hallucination in which we just "see things" and "hear things"? Michael Vannoy Adams will present famous cases of altered states of consciousness and lead an interactive discussion about the importance of contemporary epiphanies.
