Guest guest Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 If you were stranded on an island and you had a choice of only one book from C.G. Jung to have with you, which would you take? I haven't yet read any of his and would like to read one of his " better " ones. I realize " better " is a relative term, but maybe with enough votes a pattern will form. Thank you very much! Bill PS. I checked the links and files section and couldn't find any of his work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Bill- I would take none and excitedly await a message in a bottle. But what a neat " Synchronicity " (hint/hint), as I just took the Myers/Briggs personality test.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Bill, Jung's " Red Book " journal of his induced hallucinogenic experiments over 17 years was finally published in 2009... now this would make a fascinating read: 'In 1913 at the age of thirty-eight, Jung experienced a horrible " confrontation with the unconscious " . He saw visions and heard voices. He worried at times that he was " menaced by a psychosis " or was " doing a schizophrenia " . He decided that it was valuable experience, and in private, he induced hallucinations, or, in his words, " active imaginations " . He recorded everything he felt in small journals. Jung began to transcribe his notes into a large, red leather-bound book, on which he worked intermittently for sixteen years.' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Jung#Jung_bibliography 'The Red Book, also known as Liber Novus (Latin for A New Book), is a 205-page manuscript written and illustrated by Swiss psychologist Carl Gustav Jung between approximately 1914 and 1930, which was not published or shown to the public until 2009. Until 2001, his heirs denied scholars access to the book, which he began after a falling-out with Sigmund Freud in 1913. Jung originally titled the manuscript Liber Novus (literally meaning A New Book in Latin), but it was informally known and published as The Red Book[1]. The book is written in calligraphic text and contains many illuminations.' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Book_Jung Namasté ~Delia " The infinite library of the universe is in your mind.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Bill, Another fascinating Jung title would be Man and His Symbols, Jung's work on symbolism of the collective unconscious, especially pertinent for dream interpretation/analysis of the subconscious mind. " One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious. " Carl Jung Namasté ~Delia " The infinite library of the universe is in your mind.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Hey Bill, Jung himself is complicated reading for me but two books I have liked by Jungian folks are: Robert Johnson Inner Work: Using Dreams and Active Imagination for Inner Work Robert Bly A Little Book on the Human Shadow Love, Jan , Bill <astronutski wrote: > > If you were stranded on an island and you had a choice of only one book from C.G.

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Hi Bill, I was a great Jung fan in the past.. 'On the nature of the psyche' is short and profound... I would take that one... Coming in a close second, are " Dreams' and then third his final book, which was a popularized version of his work Bruce , Bill <astronutski wrote: > > If you were stranded on an island and you had a choice of only one book from C.G.
