- Abstract
This article, "Spirits, Ghosts, and Mediumship: Navigating the Spiritual in Research," examines encounters with spirits from a Jungian perspective. It discusses the challenges faced by spiritual practitioners who believe in the reality of spirits, as spirits are seen as separate from the ego. The article explores C.G. Jung's experiences with spirits and his changing views on the subject. It emphasizes the importance of respecting diverse perspectives and finding a balance between openness and skepticism when studying spirit encounters. The author, Jessica Katherine Fink, shares personal experiences and highlights the potential of Jungian psychology in understanding and processing numinous experiences. Additionally, a list of references to books on psychology, spirituality, and religion is provided, including works by C.G. Jung, Christopher Penczak, and Starhawk, which may be useful for library patrons researching these topics.
