The unknown author portrays the supposedly earthly Jesus as saying, "I give you a new commandment: love one another; as I have loved you, you are to love one another" (John 13:34 REB).
So there you have the formula for shamanic healing in a nutshell. Of course this formula presupposes that you are accessing the Self. Of course this is easier said than done.
I myself have no reason to think that I am capable of serving as a mediator to help facilitate somebody's experience of shamanic healing of archetypal wounding -- as the historical Jesus, St. Ignatius Loyola, and Dr. Jung could. No doubt the world today could benefit from having more spiritual directors and psychotherapists who are capable of serving as mediators and facilitators in helping people experience shamanic healing of their archetypal wounding.
In light of this shortage, I guess we'll just have to try to follow the formula to love one another -- and be patient.
Nevertheless, I understand that non-Christians might not find the Gospel According to John to be helpful as a guide to having their own experiences of encountering the Self in their psyches.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, Jung discusses the culmination and outcome of the successful individuation process in the second half of adult life as involving personal transformation. In theory, this kind of personal transformation is a possibility that is available not only to progressives and liberals in the United States today, but also to conservatives and theocons.
