In the game, earthly reality becomes fleeting, a moment thrown behind the shoulder and folded into the past. The mind loosens its habitual boundaries and prepares to accept the unimaginable, stepping into a realm governed by different laws. Here it is relieved of the weights that bind it to ordinary life and becomes, if only […]

Що відбувається, коли святе перетворюється на ідеологію, а віра — на знаряддя влади? У книзі «Темна релігія: психологія заперечення і відкриття реальності» юнґіанські психотерапевти Владислав Шольц і Джордж Дідьє (США) досліджують, як архетип Самості, відірваний від свого джерела, може перетворитися на інфляцію й одержимість — на те, що вони називають «темною релігією». Українське видання спеціально […]

In an age of misinformation, polarization, and collective fear, how can we stay connected to truth—and to ourselves? This course offers a Jungian exploration of the psychological roots of conspiracy theories, radical belief systems, and cultic movements that shape today’s social and political landscape. Together, we will look at how these movements arise when authentic spirituality loses […]

“‘Tis now the very witching time of night, When churchyards yawn, and hell itself breathes out Contagion to this world: now could I drink hot blood.” (Shakespeare, Hamlet, ca. 1600) On the thirty-first of October, countries as distant as Mexico, Brazil, Scotland, Australia, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, Canada, and, above all, the United States, celebrate […]

Knihu od George J. Didiera a Vladislava Šolce, která vyšla v nakladatelství Malvern, krátce představuje Jan Lukavec. Jungiánští analytici Vladislav Šolc a George J. Didier ve své knize s podtitulem „Psychologie popírání a objevování skutečnosti“ zkoumají psychologii náboženského fundamentalismu a fanatismu. Kořeny těchto jevů hledají v situaci, kdy člověka „ovládnou nevědomé energie bytostného Já“. Takový […]

The article is an extended and revised version of the one originally published in Vesmír, which was based on an interview that Vlado gave to Psychologie.cz. In recent decades, we have observed how high politics and society are being increasingly influenced by low motives and emotional drives such as envy, frustration, manipulation, deception, or revenge. The division […]

V posledních desetiletích pozorujeme, jak vysokou politiku i společnost stále silněji ovlivňují nízké motivy a emocionální pohnutky jako závist, frustrace, manipulace, lži a msta. Rozdělenost společnosti se vyhrocuje, což provází agrese a utvrzování jednostranných postojů. Zejména v USA sledujeme vzedmutí iracionálních postojů, konspiračních teorií a s tím souvisejících útoků na pluralitu, menšiny a ty, kteří zastávají jiný názor. V americké společnosti se zmíněné nízké […]

Vlado Šolc: I grew up in what we would refer to as “communism.” I was young and naïve and believed that truth was something so obvious that it was virtually impossible to avoid. There was a consensus among — I believe — most of us that it was a game of the powerful, who pretended […]
