The Alchemical Healing Journey of Man

C.G Jung believed that it was the responsibility of each of us to become conscious of our own projections and rejected aspects of our personalities in order to heal and become whole, not just for our own individual benefit, but for the benefit of all mankind.

He believed that the power of the psyche was the greatest danger that modern man faces and that the world hangs by a thin thread which depends upon each and everyone of us becoming conscious of our shadow side.

Excerpts from "Matter of Heart"....

 

 The psyche is the greatest of all cosmic wonders and the "sine qua non" of the world as an object. It is in the highest degree odd that Western man, with but very few -- and ever fewer -- exceptions, apparently pays so little regard to this fact. Swamped by the knowledge of external objects, the subject of all knowledge has been temporarily eclipsed to the point of seeming nonexistence.

Matter of Heart is a compelling portrait of Carl Gustav Jung, whose extraordinary genius and humanity reached far beyond the sometimes exclusive realm of psychiatry into redefining the essential nature of who we are and what we hope to become.

More than a linear biography, the film presents a fuller perspective on this humanist, healer, friend, and mentor, through the skillful interweaving of rare home movies, valuable archival footage, and a wealth of interviews with such notables as Sir Laurens van der Post, Marie-Louise von Franz, and Joseph Henderson, M.D
