JUNG and Maximus' writings : Discovering Devil's Bible Codex Gigas

The book explores two different theories on psychic development and proposes a theoretical framework to integrate and surpass them. The author analyzes the concepts of individuation in Carl Jung's psychology and theosis in Maximus the Confessor's theology, examining the interface between them. The author argues that psychic-spiritual development is a multifaceted process composed of different facets and dimensions of progression, such as bodily, psychic, interpersonal-social, cultural, and metaphysical levels. The study aims to answer critical questions, such as the difference between psychological and spiritual experiences and the need for a trans-disciplinary context to understand psychic development fully. The author introduces the notion of "spiritual" as an emergent property of psychological and socio-cultural features that maintain its potential in both phenomenological and ontological terms. The study is trans-disciplinary, considering all possible developmental potentials by exploring the dynamics of different levels of reality and their structures.
