초록
기독교 영성의 목표는 하나님의 형상을 타고난 사람들이 그리스도를 체험하고, 그리스도와 하나가 되어 그리스도를 본받아 사는 것으로, 하나님을 경외하고 이웃을 사랑하는 “사랑의 실천”에 있는데, 기독교 영성생활은 정신의학의 일종인 분석심리학과 많은 점에서 공통점을 가지고 있다. 그 두 과정이 모두 영성수련이나 정신분석을 통하여 자아중심적인(ego centered) 삶에서 벗어나 하나님 중심적인 삶 또는 자기중심적인(self centered) 삶으로 변화되는 것을 목표로 하고 있기 때문이다. 그 두 과정에서는 모두 인간의 삶에는 현실세계에 적응이나 하고, 욕망만 추구하는 “그저 그렇고 그런 삶”(just so and so life)만 있는 것이 아니라, 그것보다 한결 더 깊고 의미 있는 삶의 차원이 있음을 깨닫게 해주는 것이다. 현재 한국 교회는 성장의 침체와 더불어 올바른 종교성을 상실했다는 비판에 직면하여 인간의 내면에 관해서 분석심리학을 통하여 새로운 통찰을 제공받을 수 있을 것이다.
Abstract
There has been a serious interest in writings about the Christian spirituality in the Korean churches, roughly from the latter part of the 1980's. Christian spirituality, as we know, aims at Christian perfection by way of purgation of one's faults and sins. In the past, Christian symbolism had contributed to the pursuit of spiritual exercises. It seems, however, that Christian symbolism has lost its validity in contemporary society due to ever-growing materialistic thinking and way of life. Consequently more and more people complain about their mental suffering. The Swiss psychotherapist, C. G. Jung, was one of the great soul carers in our times who knew the core of that suffering. He said that neurosis was self division coming from the unbalanced psyche between many opposites of mental structure. Throughout his life, Jung treated many patients who suffered from the meaninglessness of life not knowing the divine centre of their psyche. So he made every effort to find the main factors of the psycho dynamics : the ego, the persona, the shadow, the anima/animus, the self. The significance of Jungian psychology for Christian spirituality lies in the fact that Jung insisted on the importance of the promoting a development in the realm of human interiority. That is, he always insisted on the importance of the deep dimension of human psyche and its actualization in human life, which he called the process of individuation. Late in his life, he said, "It is indeed high time for the clergyman and the psychotherapist to join forces to meet this great spiritual task." The future of cooperation of the clergyman and the psychotherapist depends on the response of the latter part.
