Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
My name Vlado Šolc (pronounced Scholtz). I am a Jungian Analyst practicing in Whitefish Bay, WI. I received training from Charles University in Prague and C.G. Jung Institute of Chicago. I live in constant awe about the miracle of existence. I am particularly interested in phenomena of consciousness and its perils. I am an author of four depth psychology books: Psyche, Matrix, Reality; The Father Archetype; In the Name of God – Fanaticism from Perspective of Depth Psychology, and Dark Religion (with George Didier).
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Dark Religion: Fundamentalism from The Perspective of Jungian Psychology. I was inspired by the most thrilling question: is there some greater intelligence, God, or this is it? I asked myself why are some people willing to kill for their God, while others claim to found enlightenment. The premise of the book is the difference between spirituality and creed.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Not really. I take notes, collect ideas and then when I have time I sit down and write.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Definitely Collected works of Carl Jung, Immanuel Kant, Paul Tillich, Meister Eckhart and many others.
What are you working on now?
