In his new book, Jung vs. Borg, author, psychologist and Jungian scholar GLEN SLATER Ph.D suggests that industrial disruption of the outer world is now being followed by a post-industrial disruption of the inner world. &amp;nbsp; Yet, there is hope. Much depends on our capacity to remain conscious of the effect each stage of innovation has on the psyche and on the social and cultural changes that will follow. Becoming conscious of the non-neutral operation of algorithms and big tech\u2019s focus on profit over people is crucial, for example. &amp;nbsp; We can also look to Jungian psychology for a countercultural turn toward the deeply human and the sacred. We can seek out connection to spirit and place, to counteract life in a world that can feel mostly transactional and exploitative. What\u2019s required is a \u201cguerrilla operation\u201d to redirect the technological juggernaut, by maintaining a symbolic life, working with our dreams and honoring art, history and culture, not just science and technology. &amp;nbsp; Glen Slater, Ph.D. is the author of Jung vs Borg: Finding the Deeply Human in a Posthuman Age. For the past 25 years he has taught in the areas of depth psychology and mythological studies at Pacifica Graduate Institute. Glen is also the editor of the third volume of James Hillman\u2019s Uniform Edition, Senex and Puer (2005), and co-editor of the essay collection, Varieties of Mythic Experience (2007). &amp;nbsp; Visit our \u2060website\u2060 to read today\u2019s dream and follow up on the resources we mention. &amp;nbsp; Connect With This Jungian Life Download our free \u2060\u2060\u2060Dream Recall Meditation Guide\u2060\u2060\u2060 \u2060Send a dream\u2060\u2060\u2060 for us to analyze on the show Watch bonus mini-episodes on our \u2060Patreon\u2060  Follow This Jungian Life on \u2060\u2060\u2060Instagram\u2060 ","author_name":"This Jungian Life","author_url":"http:\/\/www.ThisJungianLife.com","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/42342625\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/319606\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/content\/204845400"}
