Rayner Jae Liu specializes in psychic epidemiology, the study and treatment of large-scale psychological dysfunctions in human societies. His work examines how what we exclude in the psyche immediately manifests as exclusion and polarization in reality.

His Harvard presentation, “Sacred Rage, Sacred Trickster,” explored how the mythological Eris disrupts colonial paradigms by exposing unconscious motivations in power systems. Drawing on transpersonal and depth psychology and parallels to Zen Kōan and Taoist yin-yang cosmology, his research examines how Erisian mythology illuminates the causal mechanisms of 21st-century complexity and provides empirical approaches for the development of post-tragic consciousness and civilizational design.
