John F. Parker: 1. Within the human psyche you have the conscious mind which includes a retrievable memory. This conscious memory function may or may not be fully functional during an intentional encounter with the second component of the human psyche, the personal unconscious mind. The level of the person’s conscious memory function depends on how the encounter with the person’s unconscious mind is conducted. As with any risky endeavor, an intentional contact with the personal unconscious mind is best conducted with sufficient tools and preparation. If the conscious mind has a memory that is still functional when contact with the unconscious mind is made, the individual will have the ability to replay all or parts of the unconscious content that is encountered and interpret and analyze the content in the daylight of full consciousness. In turn, the product of conscious analysis of the unconscious content can be stored in the conscious mind’s memory and, if not overwhelmed by the unconscious mind during intentional contact between the conscious and unconscious mind, be effectively used by the conscious mind during subsequent encounters with the unconscious mind to aid in navigating the...

Vigilantius: If you want a short overview of Jung's contribution to Western thought and psychology, and how this arose from his life, I thoroughly recommend Sonu Shamdasani's introductory essay (about 70 pages). He writes extremely well, avoiding the long-windedness and tedious qualifications that often ruin debates in the warring world of psychology.
The absolutely seminal place of the Red Book, or Liber Novus, in Jung’s intellectual development is astonishing, and was not known (except to a tiny circle of cognoscenti) until the 21st century. In sum, in the years before World War One, Jung began to have extremely violent and disturbing dreams, featuring brutal warfare, ruined cities, maimed women and children etc. He thought he was going mad, and that the dreams – which absolutely preoccupied him in the daytime as well as at night - presaged the onset of schizophrenia. When war broke out and its horrors quickly became established, Jung was delighted – in a manner of speaking. He realised that he had not been going mad, but that his mind had somehow tapped into what he called the collective unconscious. This reinforced his break with Freud and propelled him further into...

pip: When the Light first entered mankind, about three thousand years ago, the reaction varied quite significantly. Plato and the Buddha, for instance, were deluded by the experience, both regarding the reflection of the mundane world created by the Light as a true reality. On the other hand, Lucifer and Prometheus were punished for what was considered their impiety, as though they were responsible for stealing the Light from some divinity, when in fact the appearance of the Light was simply the next stage in the development of the human being. Only Confucius grasped the true benefit of the Light for mankind, which has been the development of prudence, where the Light is used to illuminate the affairs of mankind in both time and space.
But the most significant response to the phenomenon is instanced in the dualism first expressed by Zoroaster or Zarathustra, who perceived the larger effect of the coming of the Light, seeing how it penetrated into the primordial darkness in which mankind until then had lived. Unfortunately, Zoroaster was blinded by the Light to the extent that he could no longer see in the Dark – as his ancestors had done until then. This was not as such a serious...

Mle I.: Je voudrais dire tout d'abord que je ne m'attendais pas au format du livre, je ne regarde presque jamais les mesures.
Quand je l'ai reçu, trés rapidement d'ailleurs par Amazon, et heureusement que j'étais là ce jour là, pour réceptionner ce colis,
je me demandais d'ailleurs ce que c'était et d'où ça venait ? Mais c'était bien à mon nom...sérieux !!!
Cet ouvrage fait 40cm x 30cm, sur 5cm d'épaisseur approximativement. C'est un big big book.
Aprés un moment de recueillement, et avoir ouvert les pages, c'est un immense moment d'émotion pure.
Un peu comme d'être face à des pages de Qumran, ou d'autres textes encore plus anciens ou rares,
mais de les tenir dans vos mains, et de les voir de vos propres yeux, et en couleurs;
vous avez devant vous un trésor de l'humanité, une merveille indicible.
Le Doktor Young nous a laissé une porte interdimensionnelle sur l'âme humaine.
Bien sûr, d'autres personnes intéressées voudront des détails pratiques,
ce n'est pas un livre pour travailler, il est préférable que vous ayez la version lecteur (sans illustration),
mais tous les Jungiens qui le peuvent, procurez vous ce...

Woosh: This is one of those absolute enigmas of a book where, as you’re reading it, you find yourself lost within the reality that exists deep within someone’s own mind, and not just anyone’s mind but the powerful, confusing mind of the incredible Psychologist and Philosopher, C.G Jung.
I had first been interested in this book as it popped up on one of those ‘Top Ten lists’ on YouTube as in one of the Top Ten most mysterious books and the premise of ambiguity with it, whether he was indeed within his own mind or in an alternate dimension/realm/time was what pulled me in so I went to buy it. Originally I had wanted to have the Calligraphy version of the book which I assumed would have his surreal, personally, created paintings/drawings of his dream imagery. However looking at the price I quickly bailed out and went for the readers edition, which, although very much interesting, was a less majestic version.
Due to the nature of its writing, flitting between the recollections of his dream imagery, his own notes, his sanity, the footnotes and the translator’s notes I found myself struggling to get into a flow of reading, in fact the only parts I found myself fully...

Eric S. HuntEric S. Hunt: This is the ultimate book! Jung is by far a standout; one of the greatest minds of all time. His works demonstrate clearly that civilization and we, as individuals must heal society. This begins by resisting the collective forces of powers that repress the consciousness that we were born to know. As individuals, we must step forth into fully understanding self.
Here is the account of Jung's adventure into the unconscious... this; a foundation for all of his work is detailed in the final volume of Carl Gustav Jung's work. The book includes a copy of his handwritten manuscript (Swiss) as well as a translation by Sonu Shamdasani.
For sixteen years, Jung worked on the book, experiencing the darkness and the light of his unconscious mind and developing lasting theories of archetypes, the collective unconscious, and of individuation.
The original work was locked away... his heirs denied scholars access to the book -- for nearly 100 years, we, the public could not learn of Jung's experiences... experience that clearly brought about a shift into modern psychology... a psychology of real people undergoing an awakening, an evolution of thinking, a process of...
