ABSTRACT
The function a master had in the schools of spirituality would be attributed to the analyst who has been trained through experience in studies and exercises of depth psychology. The analyst should realise this function primarily as a “psychagogist” rather than as a therapist. A therapy is only a step in reaching the real aim that has become obvious through the discovery of European species-specific unconsciousness: this aim can be made conscious through psychagogic methods, through which a person can be accompanied on his or her way of individuation. The typical modern educator, who is still shaped by the positivistic worldview, should become a psychagogist. This would mean catching up with the development that has taken place through the mutation of consciousness. Again and again ethics were adapted in the course of the evolution of consciousness, principally without its frame being changed.
