Carl Jung was a giant in the dawn of the age of psychoanalysis. A student of Freud who broke with Freud. Champion of the individual spiritual quest as doorway to the universal.
In midlife, he looked for his own soul and found nothing. Dug deeper, for years, late at night, recording wild visions: gods and demons, winged snakes and crocodiles. Found his soul’s footing, but feared he’d be called insane.
Jung said his “red book,” in which he recorded his visions, was the base of everything else he did. But it was locked away for years in a Swiss vault.
Now it’s out.

This is cool. Even as a kid, the stuff that Jung was saying, I knew to be metaphysical. "Can't people tell by the stuff he's talking about?" I always felt like he slipped into the masses — and pals with Freud, no less! What a guy!
