[1] This is a compound of 3 Greek roots—“apo” (from) + kata (down) + stasis (standing), meaning literally “to remove from a condition of collapse or breakdown,” which is what happens when something is “restored” or “reconstituted.”

[2] Jung, Collected Works, 6, ¶444,459; CW 9i, ¶316; CW 9ii, ¶73,260,410; CW 11, ¶279,401,814; CW 12, ¶415; CW 13, ¶372; CW 14, ¶474; CW 16, ¶455; CW 18, ¶527,528. As has been the convention throughout these blog essays, CW will hereafter be the abbreviation for Jung’s Collected Works.

[3] E.g. Acts 3:21.

[4] E.g. in the “Epistle to Rheginus,” the “Heracleon” and in Irenaeus (Rudolph [1984], 161,196) and in “The Gospel according to Philip,” (Layton [1987], 341).

[11] For critiques of our economic system, cf. Henderson (1981), Chappell (1993), Hawken (1993) and Korten (2009).

[12] Training in arithmetic and computational activities.

[13] Training in working with computers and other digital devices.

[14] CW 16, ¶227, note 10.

[15] I did not create these 6 themes: I took them from a series of books by theologian Walter Wink in his seminal series on “the Powers.” See Wink (1984) (1986) (1992) (1997) (1998) and (2002). The “Powers” are the dynameis repeatedly mentioned in the New Testament (e.g. Romans 8:38; Romans 13:1; Ephesians 6:12; Colosians 1:16; Titus 3:1; Hebrews 6:5).

[16] Wink discusses power-as-domination in detail; Wink (1997), 1-12; cf. Eisler (1987), 28.

[17] For Bacon’s ideas, misogyny and influence on the rise of modern science, see Merchant (1980, 164-191.

[18] Bacevich (2008), 68-69,71,77,131.

[19] Madoff defrauded thousands of people of billions of dollars in the largest Ponzi scheme in U.S. history; he pled guilty in March 2009. Before doing so, he was allowed to remain in his luxurious New York apartment.

[20] The 13th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution outlawed slavery legally, but de facto slavery can still be found where illegal immigrants are kept under lock and key and forced to do sweatshop labor in many of our largest cities. Slavery also exists in the U.S. in the illicit practice of “human trafficking,” aka “sex slavery.”

[21] Also formally illegal, but still found, especially in rural areas.

[22] For analyses of class in America, cf. Aldrich (1988), Baltzell (1964), Birmingham (1968), Fussell (1983), Mills (1959) and Warner (1960).

[23] Certainly we have seen lack of compassion and incredible greed on the part of business moguls involved in scandals over the last 20 years, e.g. Enron, WorldCom, Adelphia etc.

[24] Eisler (1987), 130-134.

[25] The spirituality of native peoples—Native Americans, Australian aborigines etc.—lacks these concepts.

[26] On taking “servant leadership” into the realm of business, see Greenleaf & Spears (2002).

[27] Power-as-dominion is power as manifested by the Divine; see Genesis 1:26 and Gen. 27:40.

[28] Anne Wilson Schaef sees hierarchies as a core feature of the “white male system,” while women tend to focus on “being peer;” Schaef (1985), 104-107.

[29] Mountfield (1978), 62.

[30] The most egregious example of an attempt at “pay to play” was Governor Ron Blagojevich’s attempt to sell the Senate seat vacated by Barack Obama in November 2008.

[31] This phrase was coined by Thorstein Veblen in The Theory of the Leisure Class, published in 1899 (i.e. during America’s first “Gilded Age”).

[32] Cf. Eisler (1987), Marija Gimbutas (1977) and Merlin Stone (1976).

[33] On the development and rise of civilization from hunter-gatherer bands to established cities, see Diamond (1999), 85-92, 193-291.

[34] Eisler (1987), 78-103.

[35] Most Middle East countries are predominantly Muslim. The Koran states explicitly that “Men have authority over women because Allah has made the one superior to the other,...” (Surah 4).

[36] Marine (1972), 1.

[37] On the connection between misogyny and ecological destruction, see Griffin (1978).

[38] E.g. Italian, Spanish and Latin American.

[39] Cf. Luke 7:36-50; Luke 8:1-3; Luke 10:38-42; Mark 15:41.

[40] John 4:4-30.

[41] Matt. 28:8-10; John 20:1-18

[42] Galatians 3:28

[43] E.g. March 2009 TV ads for the United Way (which fits well with its work) and also for Hyundai automobiles (which is less obviously linked).

[44] Twist (2003), 43-66.

[45] This term was coined by Canadian conservationist John Moelaert; see Moelaert (1974), 219.

[46] Wink (1998), 42-62.

[47] World Book Encyclopedia Dictionary, II, 1426.

[48] Cf. Hannah (1976), 347; and Wagner (1998-1999), 24.

[49] E.g. Matt. 4:18; Matt. 8:22; Matt. 9:9; Mark 2:14; Luke 5:27; Luke 9: 59; Luke 16:24; Luke 19:21; John 1:43; John 21:22.

[50] This is discussed in “Jung’s Prophetic Visions and the Alchemy of Our Time,” the Jungian Center blog essay for Jan-March 2009).

[51] “Jung and the Archetype of the Apocalypse.”

[52] Edinger (1999), 13-14,182.

[53] See footnote 8 above.

[54] Cf. Eisler (1987) and Eisler (2007).

[55] This is the title of one of the books by the 19th century pacificist/anarchist Peter Kropotkin, republished in 1972.

[56] Years ago someone told me this was a quote by Buckminster Fuller, but I am not able now to verify this in any sources I have, including Google. If any reader should know the source, I would appreciate knowing it.

[57] Cf. Chappell (1993), Hawken (1993) and Autry (1991).

[58] See Korten (2009) for a vivid explication of the new guidelines and assumptions.

[59] Eisler (1987), 185-203, and Eisler (2007), 139-164.

[60] E.g. Daly (1978), Friedan (1976), Ryan (1998), and Faludi (1991).

[61] Surveys reported by the media in March 2009 noted more Americans than ever before have no formal religious affiliation.

[62] This is because these established entities are built on and foster the “us/them” mindset.

[63] “Gandhi quotes” on Google will provide this quote.

[64] Jung’s phrase, referring to those who have had analysis and thus can, by their consciousness, serve as leaders for others; CW 18, ¶1393.

[65] This is the title of her book; Twist (2003).

[66] Cf. Daly (1973) (1977) (1980) and (1988).

[67] Elkington (1986), 258.

[68] This is a Buddhist concept, one component of the Eightfold Path.

[69] For a vision of a viable economy, see Korten (2009), 157-187.

[70] Waters (1963), 323. The demise of the U.S. government is the subject of the June 2009 blog essay “The Law of Cause and Effect and America’s Future.”

[71] Edinger (1999), 5.

[72] Quoted in Hannah (1976), 129.

[73] E.g. Mayan elders, the Aschuar in Ecuador, the Hopi in the United States; cf. Barrios (2009), Perkins (1994) and Mails (1997), respectively.

[74] CW 10, ¶585.

[75] Edinger (1999), 13-14. In doing this, we become able to transform suffering into an experience full of meaning.
