BMA Audio’s recent projects include restoring and digitizing lectures presented by the APC of New York at the C.G. Jung Center. The APC is the oldest psychology club in the country.

When we first started digitizing some of the tapes fell apart in the player. That was a clue that it could be a challenge. We selected tapes that had the best quality and luckily those were significant and important lectures. There are colorful and intriguing titles as only Jungian psychology could produce such as “Approaching Merlin’s Cave” by Diana Beach, “Wordsworth and the Landscape of Memory” by Beth Darlington and “To the Mythology of Earth Connectedness” by Werner Engel as well the one we are now processing. Working with this material is enlightening as well as meditative. That is the best part.

In this lecture Dr. Ferrell discusses the questions that Nietzsche first identified and predicted would take on critical mass in the 20th century – that of the coming of the age of nihilism. These themes also fascinated C.G. Jung. These lectures will be available for purchase in February.

From the audio:

“With all the interpretations of Nietzsche existing today there does seem to be a scholarly consensus that Nietzche stands as a fountainhead of postmodernism, of new currents in philosophy, religion and spiritualty, the natural and social sciences, psychoanalysis and the arts.”

“Since Jung is more interested in the ways in which the unconscious manifested in Nietzsche work he is much more focused on the mythological and archetypal dimensions in his interpretation of Nietzsche.”
