Symbols and Individuation in Global Politics: The Case of Barack Obama - A Global Internet Seminar: Viewable Live From Any Computer Globally. Friday, September 10, 2010 11 am to 5 pm Eastern US

    MARINA DEL REY, CA, July 28, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The world stage is a dramatic place full of actors surging with archetypal energies, which not only affect the world's leaders but the countries, regions and other tribes that they serve. Caught in these unconscious storms, most countries and their leaders have no idea of the archetypal patterns into which they have fallen or how to contain them in a safe and productive manner. Instead they get "acted out" and in their most vicious forms involve troop deployments, IEDs, smart bombs, or even flying airplanes into skyscrapers. Perhaps more than any other recent leader in history, Barack Obama carries a staggering magnitude of projected fears, hopes and dreams; so much so that he was awarded a Noble Peace Prize before barely lifting a finger. Obama's success or failure will to a large degree rest on his ability to become aware of and exploit in a positive manner these archetypal forces. In order to have true international progress, the warring polarities between the West and the rest of the world must somehow be transcended into a new reality, a global individuation of sorts.
