Another way to connect Archetypes and Type

I thought that you all might be interested to take a look at this page from CAPT website that discusses the synergy between the MBTI® tool and the Pearson-Marr Archetype Indicator (PMAI®):

Hello All,
I wanted to get the two quotes from Jung I shared up as well as a third one I discovered in my notes.

Long experience has taught me not to know anything in advance and not to know better, but to let the unconscious take precedence. Our instincts have ridden so infinitely many times, unharmed, over the problems that arise at this stage of life that we may be sure the transformation processes which makes the transition possible have long been prepared in the unconscious and only waiting to be released.

CW 9i, p. 293 para 528

Life is crazy and meaningful at once. And when we do not laugh at over the one aspect and speculate about the other, life is exceedingly drab, and everything is reduced to the littlest scale.

CW 9i, p. 31 para 65

The 'inferior' function...would have the significance of a releasing or 'redeeming' function. We know from experience that the inferior function always compensates, complements, and balances the 'superior' function.

CW 9i, p. 303 para 541

I also had a bit of a synchronistic event at the Philadelphia airport. When I was looking for reading material (I'd stuck to Jung on the outbound journey), I found a book called My Life With the Saints by James Martin, SJ that is a spiritual memoir as well as being a primer on some of the Catholic figures who shaped Martin's journey (e.g., Thomas Merton, Ignatius of Loyola, Joan of Arc). On the back cover there is this pull quote from the Washington Post Book World:

Martin's final word is as Jungian as it is Catholic: God does not want us to be Mother Theresa or Dorothy Day. God wants us to be most fully ourselves.


Looking forward and smiling,
Katherine

Business Administration Stuff

Here's a follow up item from our business meeting. I thought we might want to use the blog as a central place to have the conversation.

Issues for Discussion:

• Discount: Should the person that manages the finances, books the Mercy Center, handles registrations, makes room assignments, etc. and communciates this all to the rest of us receive a discount? If so, how much of a discount? On what? There seemed to be consensus that a discount would be in order, although no vote was taken. Angelo proposed 50% discount. Loretta suggested limiting this discount to the conference fee (vs. the Mercy Center fee, which would be a "pass through.") Barbara suggested making the fee amount contingent on the number of seminar participants.
• Passing the Torch: If someone is ready to take over the duties, Loretta is ready to pass that torch. Both Barbara and Laura have expressed a willingness.
• Divide and Conquer: In the past, Loretta's responsibilities were divided by at least two people. Do we want to examine doing that again? If so, how should the duties be divided? How would any discounts be shared?
• Vacant Slots: In the past we've had a waiting list of people interested in attending the seminar. However, over the past few years, that's not been the case and we've been scrambling to find people at the last minute. Participants know that if they have to cancel, it's ultimately their responsibility to find their replacement, but Loretta said the group's been great at helping with this. Mollie offered to manage a list and work with people who have to cancel.
