David... I'll probably pick this time up in the next month or so....
When it comes to "spiritual experiences" the Carl Jung reach was far and wide.
Jung had a profound impact with one of the two original founders of Alcoholic Anonymous, William 'Bill' Wilson... Without Jung's intervention with another early member of AA, I doubt we'd see the AA program, and its astounding successes as it is known today. He sent this particular acute alcoholic on his way after a full year of in-depth therapy. His parting words we're along the lines of "I can't help you (the acute alcoholic), you need some sort of a spiritual experience, your only chance for recovery."
The final link was forged for the AA program... 2 million+ world-wide members these day's
Have a wonderful holiday season....
