The Evolution of the Self as applied to C.G. Jung and Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (Progoff Lecture Se

by Ira Progoff

The Progoff Lecture Series consists of several key talks that were conducted by Dr. Progoff in which he explains in detail his psychological approach to human development and the rationale for the Intensive Journal method. Dr. Progoff helps you understand the connection between his theoretical concept of growth and the Intensive Journal method. In several instances, Dr. Progoff leads the audience through Intensive Journal exercises and engages in extensive discussion with them. Demonstrates how belief systems change over time, using the Steppingstones model as a tool to explore how Jung's and Teilhard de Chardin's lives shaped their philosophies. This lecture is a useful example of the method that explores the nature of transition and change, and the cycles and periods of our lives. Provides background for the Intensive Journal method and an insightful glimpse into the lives of two of Dr. Progoff's greatest influences.
