C arl Jung contended that a life lived in a one-sided manner, unconsciously out of balance, leads inevitably to a collapse into its opposite. Such an experience can sometimes be grim and earth shattering to the individual. Although it may appear as change, such a development is not transformative. To avoid such an outcome, Jung suggests an encounter with the opposites that awakens consciousness and points the way to a transformative experience. Cordisco will discuss Jung's Theory of the Opposites in depth using the life of Francis of Assisi as an illustrative case example.
