Mandela, credited C. G. JungThe Red Book, Jung's unpublished journal of journals is to be published this Fall, and is examined here, not minutely, but with a degree of flourish and a strong dash of thoroughness.
Having read nearly all that Jung wrote, cherished his Memories, Dreams and Reflections, a gift from a colleague, analyzed a dream for one year and paid my dues to two Jungian Institutes, I acknowledge that I felt a smile break out on my face as I read the article. The knowing that Carl Gustav Jung's self-analysis has left its Zurich vault, been translated into English and will be presented to the Dreamers is what I would call a most special gift.
The Rubin Museum of Art will host the unveiling of the original book on October 7 in New York, and be on view until January 25, 2010--sufficient time to make a pilgrimage.
Hey you know this reminds my a bit of the way irish artisted used to "project" their Gospels Books from VII - IXth Century.. everything covered with ornaments,especially initial letters.. kind of a controlled chaos.. masterful!

Personally I think the "red book"
ReplyDeleteis a waste of time. Some years ago,
when I finally realized what Jung
was really about, I decided to
concentrate on his final conclusions about archetypal reality.
The Big question is, -
What is God? ... .... ....
O.K., the next question, Have I
experienced anything that would
indicate another dimension of
reality? That I can answer; see
my blog for details....

Oh, yeah, Jung did indicate his
final conclusions, in a
quote:
"man has need of the word, but
in essence number is sacred."
