The Shadow of a Figure of Light: the Archetype of the Alcoholic and the Journey to Enlightenment delves into the nature of modern psychospiritual transformation by examining the human thirst for wholeness through the lens of alcoholism and addiction. Establishing an unknown historical thread that ties renowned psychiatrist C.G. Jung and Alcoholics Anonymous co-founder Bill Wilson, Cody Peterson shows how their methodologies each stemmed from an ancient shamanistic source constellated through what he has coined the archetype of the Alcoholic. Painting the Twelve Steps as a modern myth, the author presents the Alcoholic as a paradoxical image leading us towards enlightenment amid a deepening, culture-wide spiritual crisis.

Autorenporträt
Cody Peterson has been a student of spirituality and religion since adolescence, though it wasn't enough to stave off addiction. He eventually lost everything, including his vital spiritual connection, struggling for many years to get clean and sober. After a stint in jail and periods of homelessness, Cody finally sobered up for good and began an intense study of the writings of C.G. Jung, resonating deeply with the ideas espoused by the Swiss psychiatrist. Now he feels called to examine the Twelve Steps through a Jungian lens, sharing his insights in his writings and talks.
