- [Mary Sidoli: When the meaning gets lost in the body](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/10/14/body-22/): In her book Theatres of the Body, Joyce McDougall writes:
- [Ursula K. Le Guin: A Child Bride](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/10/07/child-16/): Mother, be comforted. Don't cry and make me cry. Come winter I'll come back and spring is my return. I'll bring the hyacinths. You depend on me, you know, I'm not a child now. But if I am your daughter how can I be his wife? How can I be your wife when I am her daughter? What do you want of me, who sleep in my arms?
- [Jane R. Prétat:  Coming to Age : The Croning Years and Late-life](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/10/01/life-36/): Jung’s Late-Life Transition
- [An Interview With the Late Jungian Analyst Edward Edinger](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/09/28/edinger-11/): ungian analyst Edward Edinger was the first psychologist I interviewed on the American psyche. The year was 1994; I was steeped in my own personal Jungian analysis, and I had just begun my years-long journey to understand the American psyche through a psychological lens. Reading Edinger’s book, Ego and Archetype: Individuation and the Religious Function of the Psyche, I’d become fascinated with how Jung’s idea of the individuation process deepened American ideas around individualism.
- [God’s Wretched Servants: The Father’s Ambiguity](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/09/21/father-12/): Once upon a time God sent down to earth His son to look into everything and advise on the possibility of creating living beings. At his father's orders the son left the sky and came down to the globe of the earth. But it was insufferably hot and he could not live anywhere, and so he plunged into the depths of the earth to find a little coolness. He never appeared again.
- [The Prophet Elijah in Islam](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/09/14/islam-6/): Sura 18 includes a legend in which there appears a favoured wise servant of God who is not called Elijah in the text but is identified with him in the whole Islamic tradition. The Koran account says:⁴
- [Carl Jung: I have become an ascetic, a hermit in the pleasure gardens of the earth](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/09/10/earth-14/): Out of sheer devotedness, I have become an ascetic, a hermit in the pleasure gardens of the earth, surrounded by beckoning butterflies and chirping colorful birds, enveloped by the scent of roses.
- [Nor Hall, Those Women](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/09/07/women-14/): The red of Dionysus belongs to women. So dark it is almost black, it calls up old wine, deep wounds, and the marbled walls of the womb itself heavy with twisted veins reaching inevitably toward the heart. At the heart of the Mystery chamber that anchors these pages in Pompeii there is an unabashed love of women. Especially experienced women like the Domina who sits at the far end of the room as if at the far end of our book’s trajectory welcoming newcomers to her thiasos, the company of women who “have been through it” and survived.
- [Carl Jung, Letters to Hedy Wyss 1936 – Quotations](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/09/03/letter-10/): " also think that it would not be bad if you read some more serious things during this time, because such things are not only educational for the mind, but sometimes also good for the heart. For example, I would recommend you read the sermons of Meister Eckhart."— Carl Jung, Letters to Hedy Wyss 1936 – 1956, Page 10
- [Jung’s Heart Attack and His Dream of His Great-Grandmother](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/09/02/dream-73/): His pulse became more irregular; no medicine seemed to help. Finally, he fell asleep, but awoke at 1 a.m. from a shattering dream—the dream of his ancestress (great-grandmother)—that filled him with rage. Jung later understood that this dream solved the mystery of his "great-grandmother and Herr von Goethe" that had been weighing on him for a long time. "I feel like it had to do with a birth," he writes to Hedy Wyss, that he "might equally as well have died from. It seems that some insights can be quite life-threatening."
- [J. Glenn Friesen, Jung and Western Mysticism](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/09/01/mystic-13/): We should not suppose that self-realization means being lost in or swallowed up by some greater reality (which might be suggested by the Indian image of a drop of water rejoining the ocean). Nor does self-realization mean being swamped by the unconscious. That would be a state of psychosis, a state of ‘possession.’ Rather, it means that a person is now fully conscious, but now realizes that ‘his’ consciousness is also the consciousness that is everywhere, in all things (what in mystic-meditative traditions is sometimes referred to as ‘cosmic consciousness’).
- [Max Knoll: Transformations of Science in Our Age](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/08/28/science-10/): It is clear that contemporary natural science itself arose from a great process of becoming conscious—from the nineteenth-century striving for ever more exact and "impersonal" cognition of the surrounding world with the development of the ratio2 as the dominant (psychological) function.
- [Marie-Louise von Franz: The Realm of the Dead and the Spirit World](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/08/21/dead-17/): 267 Another manifestation of the "land of the soul:' which naturally follows from the aforementioned, is the land of the dead and the world of ghosts, which is how the unconscious is described in many legends, fairytales, and myths. Especially in the conceptions of native peoples one sees a complete identity of ancestral spirits, ghosts, and demons.
- [P.W. Martin: Science, Psychology and Religion](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/08/14/religion-19/): Individuation, wholeness, hoinw in fear and trembling a man may come to work out his own salvation, has always been the central theme of religion. Psychology is widely looked upon as the enemy of religion. To some extent this is true. In certain of the various versions of psychology at present current, the human psyche is in the main dismissed as nothing more than  biological by-product. In the experiment in depth the psyche is not thus dismissed, but accepted as a legitimate object of experience in its own right.
- [THE MYTH OF EGYPT](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/08/07/egypt-2/): Egypt in antiquity existed not only in actuality, in the north-eastern quadrant of Africa at the point where the forces which were to mould civilisation meet and intersect, but also in the borderlands between myth and reality. The collective unconscious of the population of the Valley in the seventh and sixth millennia, when it was first permanently settled, was in a state of readiness to make a quantum leap in social and intellectual development which, in a very short space of time, would lead to the creation of one of the first and most diverse of complex societies.
- [Available for Pre-Order: C.G. Jung: The Critical Edition, Volume 1 (1896–1900): Student Years in Basel: Philosophy, Medicine, Science, and Spiritualism by C. G. Jung](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/07/28/student/): An authoritative new translation of Jung’s writings from his student years
- [June Singer – William Blake’s “Proverbs of Hell”: A Jungian Commentary](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/07/28/blake-4/): The essential elements of William Blake's credo are already discernible in his early work, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, of which· ·one section is entitled "Proverbs of Hell.m Later, in the prophetic books, he expanded this credo and followed it through all its ramifications but the essential nuclei of meaning are, as we shall see, scattered through the "Proverbs."
- [Jan Bauer, Alcoholism and Women : The Background and the Psychology](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/07/21/women-13/): The Masculine Spirit in Women
- [A Dictionary of Alchemical Imagery: Birds](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/07/14/alchemical-7/): Birds of all kinds appear in alchemical texts. The birth of the philosopher's stone from the union of the male and female substances at the *chemical wedding is frequently compared to the birth of a bird or chick from the philosopher's *egg or vessel (see Bird of Hermes).
- [Robert A. Segal: Jung’s very twentieth-century view of myth](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/07/07/myth-12/): It is commonly assumed that Jung’s view of moth, like his view of everything else, is best understood vis-à-vis Freud’s. I argue that Jung in fact positions himself much more broadly, not merely against other psychologists of myth but more fundamentally against non-psychologists altogether. Undeniably, Jung pits his theory against Freud’s, but only after pitting both his theory and Freud’s against those theories that assume the subject matter of myth to be the external world rather than the human mind and that assume the function of moth to be either the explanation or the description of the external world rather than the expression of the human mind.
- [William B. Goodheart – C.G. Jung’s First Patient](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/07/03/patient-9/): It is not surprising then that Jung begins to note that Helly seems markedly isolated from the external world and himself in the sessions. He says that to relate to her is like talking to a dreamer who is talking in her sleep or is identical to the situation when a hypnotist loses rapport with a patient and:
- [Frances Baruch – Jung and the Stone](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/07/01/stone-10/): I had first thought of focusing on Jung as a sculptor and artist - but this narrowed things down too much, as his 'flirtation' with his artistic anima was short-lived, while his relationship to the stone was life-long. However, it was just this experience (hearing the comments of this artistic 'lady') who first spoke through the voice of an actual patient of Jung that first introduced Jung to his anima and, having resisted her tempting urges to look on his painted and written images from the unconscious as art, he was able to maintain a creative dialogue with 'the lady' for many years to come.
- [Philip Sherrard -Christianity and the Religious Thought of C. G. Jung](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/06/23/religious-t/): Two preliminary remarks must preface this chapter. The first concerns the source material on which it is based. Jung had no “religion” in the commonly accepted sense of the word. He did not belong to any branch of the Christian Church, nor did he affiliate himself to any other explicit religious tradition, like Islam or Buddhism. Therefore on the face of it he did not accept any system of doctrine or dogma based on revelation and elaborated by the spiritual interpreters of the tradition in question.
- [Jung’s transmutation: Siegfried to Parsifal](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/06/21/siegfried/): Siegfried
- [Psyche and Thanatos: Psychospiritual Dimensions of Death and Dying](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/06/17/death-42/): It would be hard to imagine a subject that is more universal and more personally relevant for every single human being than death and dying. Over the course of our lives, all of us will lose relatives, friends, teachers, acquaintances, and important public figures, and eventually face our own biological demise.
- [Journey into Self: The Valley of the Shadow of Death](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/06/15/death-43/): So, being refreshed Christian addressed himself to his 1oumeywith his sword drawn in his hand; for he said, I know not but some other enemy may be at hand. But he met with no other affront from Apollyon quite through this valley. Now, at the end of this valley was another, called the Valley of the Shadow of Death, and Christian must needs go through it, because the way to the Celestial City lay through the midst of it.
- [Ann Lammers: Emma Jung’s years of self-liberation](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/06/13/liberation-4/): From one perspective, visions of falling gods might portend a general disaster; but for Emma, as an individual, they signified a desperately needed liberation. The gods included her personal god-image, Aranû. This figure had first appeared to her in mid-1916 as a flaming star, holding in his hand a blue bird, which she recognized at once as her soul. She was compelled to follow Aranû into the depths of hell. Less than three years later, in January 1919, she witnessed Aranû’s splendid death:
- [How Faith Makes the Body Ill.](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/06/11/faith-4/): But here I find myself telling about these things, though I have not yet come to my proposed theme of how it happens that faith can make the body ill.
- [Depth Psychology as a Spiritual Pursuit ](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/06/09/spiritual-8/): My intention in this book is to advocate an approach to the psyche which will lead to the development of an individual, intensely personal spirituality.
- [Western Consciousness and Eastern Spirituality](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/06/07/east-3/): During C. G. Jung's lifetime and after his death, the reproach was voiced from various quarters that the Swiss depth psychologist had not only encouraged interest in Eastern  religiosity, but strengthened syncretistic tendencies toward the blending of religions in modern people.
- [Mary Watkins, Waking Dreams; Active imagination: C. G. Jung](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/06/05/dream-69/): These activities offered him a "rite d'entree" to the unconscious, as had automatic writing and crystal ball gazing to mediums and to Janet's patients. He found, as had Flournoy, that the unconscious is always in a· sense dreaming, mythmaking. Because our attention is outwardly directed we fail to notice the mythic dreams being constantly spun.
- [Meister Eckhart, Selected Writings, The Book of Divine Consolations](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/06/04/eckhart-18/): But they who love only God in the creature and the creature only in God, will find true, just and constant consolation in all places. Let this be enough for the first part of the book. ~Meister Eckhart, Selected Writings, The Book of Divine Consolations, Page 53-54
- [Evelyn Underhill, Mysticism: A Study in Nature and Development of Spiritual Consciousness](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/06/03/mystic-12/): Since the object of all contemplation is the production of that state of intimate communion in which the mystics declare that the self is “in God and God is in her,” it might be supposed that the orison of union represented the end of mystical activity, in so far as it is concerned with the attainment of a transitory but exalted consciousness of “oneness with the Absolute.”
- [The Parental Image as Source and Container of Life](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/06/01/parent-3/): The importance of this statement is not immediately apparent because of Jung' s concise and rather abstract way of expressing his thought. He speaks of the separation from an individual ' s own parents and the psychological implications.
- [The Jungian infant](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/05/29/the-jungian/): Is there a valid theoretical construct to describe an infant from a Jungian perspective?
- [The Bad Mother: An Archetypal Approach by James Hillman](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/05/27/mother-30/): What follows takes up again a well-worn theme: mother and child. The mother archetype, the child archetype-depth psychology founds itself, and founders, usually, on these rocks. That life and depth psychology begin with mother and child says that we are in the rhetoric of beginnings, of foundational questions.
- [Taoism and Jung: Synchronicity and the Self](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/05/25/tao-8/): Additional research, however, has led me to conclude that Chinese Taoism, rather than Hinduism, provided the fundamental formative influence in Jung's developing notion of "the Self."
- [Emanuel Swedenborg, Heaven and its Wonders and Hell](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/05/23/hell-9/): Such are for the most part attached to some infernal society, because they have also denied the divine and have despised the truths of the church; for so far as anyone confirms himself against the eternal life of his soul he confirms himself also against whatever pertains to heaven and the church. ~Emanuel Swedenborg, Heaven and its Wonders and Hell, Page 352-357
- [.Meister Eckhart on True Obedience](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/05/21/eckhart-17/): what is most pleasing to God. ~Meister Eckhart, Selected Writings, Page 40-41
- [C.G. Jung: “About the Animus”](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/05/19/animus-40/): Now it is true that when a woman has a superior thinking function, she has probably developed her thinking through the critique of her own animus. That would be necessary, for no thinking can be developed under the influence of an animus, because the animus is the opposite of thinking. ~Carl Jung, The Last Lectures of C.G. Jung, Page 27
- [WORSHIP OF THE GENERATIVE POWERS DURING THE MIDDLE AGES OF WESTERN EUROPE](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/05/17/west/): Perhaps with it perished the last trace of the worship of Priapus in this particular form; but Payne Knight was not acquainted with the fact that this superstition, in a variety of forms, prevailed throughout Southern and Western Europe largely during the Middle Ages, and that in some parts it is hardly extinct at the present day; and, as its effects were felt to a more considerable extent than people in general suppose in the most intimate and important relations of society, whatever we can do to thrown light upon its medieval existence, though not an agreeable subject, cannot but form an important and valuable contribution to the better knowledge of medieval history.
- [PRECOGNITION AND LIFE AFTER DEATH](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/05/15/death-41/): Perhaps the most provocative precognitive dreams are those which concern death-the most overarching problem in the strange process of being human.
- [Jung’s Life and Work Interviews for Memories Dreams Reflections – Introduction Quotations](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/05/13/work-9/): Reporters are constantly now trying to interview him, and it won’t be long before some enterprising person saw the chance of a book being got out on him. Jung’s Life and Work Interviews for Memories Dreams Reflections, Page 24
- [Robert Sardello,  Green Man; Earth Angel](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/05/09/angel-3/): Cheetham develops a method of proceeding from longing to questions of metaphysics. His method consists of making us feel deeply all that we have lost with the way reality has been split up; the loss of the imagination, the loss of living speech, words as angels, the loss of reading that speaks from within reality rather than about it, and most of all, the loss of the sense of place.
- [The Mysticism of Joseph Campbell by John Gentile, Phd](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/05/07/mystic-11/): Campbell’s claim that mythologies connect us to the “ground of being” (a phrase he borrows from Paul Tillich), to divinity immanent and transcendent, causes some readers to dismiss him as a mystic rather than a scholar.
- [THE LAST TEACHING OF THE BUDDHA](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/05/05/buddha-20/): A man's mind may make him a Buddha, or it may make him a beast. Misled by error, one becomes a demon; enlightened, one becomes a Buddha. Therefore, control your mind and do not let it deviate from the right path."
- [C.G. Jung Champion of the Imagination Brian Dietrich](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/05/03/imagination-14/): Inaugurating the first system of transpersonal psychology, Jung was a champion of images and the imagination. His theoretical insights and innovative methods not only established the legitimacy of the imagination as a valid means of producing knowledge, they also substantiated the use of imagination—understood as a bridge linking the conscious and unconscious, sense perception and ideas, matter and mind—as an essential component of mind/body medicine.
- [Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom and Crafts Strategist, Warrior, Craftswoman](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/05/01/goddess-8/): Athena was the Greek goddess of wisdom and crafts, known to the Romans as Minerva. She was a stately, beautiful warrior goddess, protector of her chosen heroes and namesake city, Athens.
- [GOD, THE DEVIL, AND THE HUMAN SOUL](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/04/30/soul-54/): All  the same, nobody can deny that without the psyche there would be no world at all and still less a human world. Virtually everything depends on the human soul and its functions. It should be worthy of all the attention we can give it, especially today,
- [The Man of Light in Iranian Sufism](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/04/28/light-5/): He brings them forth from the shadows into the light. Qur'an 11.258.
- [The Coniunctio in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/04/26/christ-26/): Compare this with the thought of an earlier theologian. Augustine distinguishes between the God-image in Christ and the image implanted in man as the possibility of becoming like God.
- [C.G. Jung: Lord of the Underworld](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/04/24/lord-2/): Only the great, that is to say the epic, gods seem to be phallic.’ ~Colin Wilson, C.G. Jung: Lord of the Underworld, Page 44-48
- [Mystic Chords Mysticism and Psychology in Popular Music](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/04/22/music-3/): The same primal source from which mythology, dreams, folk traditions, and poetic insight arise must also be the inspirational source for painting, music, literature, and all other modes of creative human endeavor.
- [Things that can befall the human being because of faith](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/04/20/faith-5/): For human reason of the kind that flows out of Adam cannot possibly fathom them. And when that teaching is taken up, it must be powerfully maintained in faith. For the powers of faith cannot be fathomed by the human being by himself. For this reason, since He is the highest light in such matters, | 246 | indicates to us the foundation we should understand in faith.
- [Jung’s Depth-Psychological Analysis of Sin and Redemption ](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/04/18/redemption-7/): In the secular and pluralistic approach to human suffering offered by the modern psychotherapeutic paradigm, can there still be place for the Christian notions of sin and redemption?
- [Jung’s ­Red Book Dialogues with the Soul](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/04/16/soul-53/): soul soul soul soul soul soul
- [Symbolism in the Bible and the Church](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/04/14/bible-5/): It is in this spirit that the remainder of this book is written: it is an attempt to apply some of these ideas to the study of the Scriptures and of Christian worship in the hope that we may be helped to find a way out of the present impasse in religion. ~Gilbert Cope, Symbolism in the Bible and the Church, Page84 -88
- [Edward F. Edinger,  Transformation of Libido,](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/04/12/transform-4/): Tonight we beginour study of Symbols of Transformation.
- [Carl Gustav Jung and The Red Book: Liber Novus by Lance S. Owens and Stephan A. Hoeller](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/04/10/liber-2/): While the work has in past years been descriptively called “The Red Book,” Jung did emboss a formal title on the folio’s spine: he titled the work Liber Novus (the “New Book”). His manuscript is now increasingly cited as Liber Novus, and under this title implicitly includes draft material intended for but never transcribed into the red leather folio proper.
- [June Singer, Jung and the Lost Gospels](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/04/08/gospel-4/): Until 1945, only a few fragments of the lost gospels were available for reading by the public. Here and there some scholars and seekers learned of the existence of certain of the writings and studied them.
- [MY PARENTS ARE NOT ‘MY’ PARENTS](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/04/06/parent-2/): Then she told me I should be a good girl and say my prayers after her. A moment later she said good night and left. I was all alone. From now on it became clearer and clearer to me that father and mother were not my true parents and that this country was not my true home.
- [Undermining the Tendency to Pathologize Spirit Possession](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/04/04/spirit-22/): Analytical psychology does not differentiate between the many cultural or  nthropological variations of ‘spiritual’ experience. Instead it conflates all transcendent phenomena – such as spirit possession and mystical experience – into one general kind of psychological experience.
- [Metamorphosis in Animals: The Transformations of the Individual and the Tуpе](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/04/01/animal-10/): The transformations undergone by certain animals in the course of their es have provided human expression with some of its oldest images. From the immemorial the metamorphosis of the caterpillar into a butterfly has served as a metaphor for intimations of higher being. And the same creature, the quiescent pupa, the nympha or chrysalis, has provided a strict hieratic image of contemplation, of serene expectation of things to come, of the pomise of resurrection.
- [Gerhard Dorn, On the Spagyric Art,](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/03/30/dorn/): Wonderful to behold are the things that it is able to do, and indeed it is believed that it can do many more things that neither cause offence to God nor pollute the soul. ~ Gerhard Dorn, On the Spagyric Art, according to the opinion of Johannes Trithemius, Page 19-23
- [Paul Bishop, Jung’s Answer to Job](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/03/28/job-11/): In addition to the tradition of theological and philosophical commentary on  the Book of Job, there is a broader socio-theological context in terms of  which the composition of Answer to Job should be seen: the continuing decline in religious belief in general, and in Christianity in particular, which has been a feature of intellectual life in Europe since the Enlightenment.
- [Edward F. Edinger on  Mysterium Coniunctionis](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/03/26/mysterium-8/): This good advice to any reader of Mysterium Coniunctionis was given by an alchemist who compared his method of exposition to the paradoxical nature of Mercurius, whose end was also his beginning.
- [Introduction to this new edition of Neumann’s The Child](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/03/24/child-11/): It is a pleasure to write an introduction to this new edition of Neumann's The Child, which has been out of print for some time. This book was first published in a German edition in 1963 and appeared in English translation in 1973.
- [Jung on Evil ](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/03/24/evil-14/): Edited and with an introduction by Murray Stein In the course of his long and productive life, Jung said a great deal about evil but relatively seldom in one place and never in the form of a single essay on the subject.
- [Introduction to Kranefeldt’s ‘Secret Ways of the Mind](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/03/22/secret-7/): secret secret secret secret secret secret secret secret secret
- [Meister Eckhart: The Book of  Consolation](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/03/20/eckhart-16/): But they who love only God in the creature and the creature only in God, will find true, just and constant consolation in all places. Let this be enough for the first part of the book. ~Meister Eckhart, Selected Writings, The Book of Divine Consolations, Page 53-54
- [Marie-Louise von Franz – The Transformed Berserk: Unification of Psychic Opposites](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/03/18/opposites-2/): At the core of the relationship between individual transformation and social responsibility is the problem of psychic opposites. For, as Carl Gustav Jung once pointed out, ''there always will be the two standpoints: the standpoint of the social leader who, if he is an idealist at all, seeks salvation in a moreor less complete suppression of the individual, and the leader of minds who seeks improvement in the individual only." These two types "are necessary pairs of opposites which keep the world in balance." 1
- [Marion Woodman: “And a Crone Shall Lead Them](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/03/16/crone/): crone crone crone crone crone crone crone crone crone crone crone crone crone
- [The seeress of Prevorst revelations concerning the inner-life of man](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/03/14/seeress/): The following phenomena are similar to those known of persons who could read what was laid on the pit of the stomach, or else, by the sense of feeling, obtained a knowledge of it.
- [Pauli’s Life Crisis](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/03/12/pauli-9/): Pauli and Jung first met in 1931, when Pauli sought help for acute depression.
- [Marion Woodman: Assent to the Goddess](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/03/10/goddess-7/): goddess goddess goddess goddess
- [The Extroverted Sensation Type: Inferior Introverted Intuition](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/03/10/type-8/): The extroverted sensation type is represented in someone whose gift and specialized function is to sense and relate in a concrete and practical way to outer objects. Such people observe everything, smell everything, and on entering a room know almost at once how many people are present. Afterward, they always know whether so-and-so was there and what dress she had on. If you put such a question to an intuitive, he would say he had not noticed and had no idea, and what did she have on? The sensation type is a master at noticing details.
- [Nora Mindell: The Task of Making the Meaning of Nature Conscious.](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/03/08/meaning-16/): Von Franz points out that Jung spoke of “the task of man to complete the meaning of nature by his efforts to become conscious.”
- [Lance S. Owens, History and the Transformation of Jung](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/03/07/transform/): With publication of The Red Book: Liber Novus in 2009 and the subsequent publication of Jung’s Black Book journals in 2020, understanding of Jung in his historical context has entered a generational period of transformation.
- [The Shadow of Analytical Psychology and The Fourth Dimension](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/03/06/shadow-37/): The shadow of a complicated thing is, as you have heard, as complicated as the thing itself.
- [Alice O. Howell: FIRE Light, Life, Love](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/03/05/light-life-love/): light light light light light light
- [Marie-Louise von Franz: The Mother as Fate](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/03/04/as-fate/): Among all the archetypes of the unconscious, that of the mother has a special role connected with predestination, which is why the fates in mythology are usually female and often mother figures.
- [Mircea Eliade:  Profane Duration and Sacred Time](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/03/02/sacred/): On the one hand there are the intervals of a sacred time, the time of festivals (by far the greater part of which are periodical).
- [Marie-Louise von Franz: The Problem of Evil in Fairy Tales](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/03/01/fairy-tales-2/): Most Fairy Tales hinge on the struggle between good and evil.
- [Sonu Shamdasani, From complex psychology to the Jungian School](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/03/01/sonu-11/): This comment is in line with his social and political thought – for if complex psychology resulted in another “ism” it would simply contribute to the mindlessness pervading European societies, rather than providing any point of resistance or capacity for reflection. ~Sonu Shamdasani, Jung: the Making of Modern Psychology – The Dream of a Science, Page 344-348
- [Suzanne Gieser: Pauli’s Life Crisis](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/02/27/pauli-8/): Pauli and Jung first met in 1931, when Pauli sought help for acute depression. Pauli says in a much later letter to Jung that his neurosis had already been quite apparent in 1926, while he was living in Hamburg. His exclusive preoccupation with scientific interests had suppressed all other human qualities and in particular harmed his emotional life. An expression of this was the vivid contrast between light and dark in his personality and in his relationships with women.
- [Introduction to the Buddhist Patika Suttanta](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/02/26/buddhist-4/): The early Buddhists did not deny the occurrence of such marvels; on the contrary, they accepted them in the Normalistic sense held by most of their more cultured compatriots.
- [Marie-Louise von Franz: The Bird Motif](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/02/25/bird-4/): Now we should return to our main motif, that of the bird, because I have told all these five stories as a further amplification of the parrot problem.
- [Jung Relating to Freud, Adler, and Rank](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/02/24/freud-17/): Jung Relating to Freud, Adler, and Rank
- [Wolfgang Giegerich: The Unconscious: Discovered Fact or Means to an End](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/02/19/unconscious-42/): Jung's statement, “Since the stars have fallen from heaven and our highest symbols have paled, a secret life holds sway in the unconscious. This is why we have a psychology today, and why we speak of the unconscious,” tells us more about the origin of Jung’s psychology and the necessities of Jung’s intellectual development in particular than about the history of the soul at large.
- [Joseph Henderson – Foreword to A Memoir of Toni Wolff,](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/02/18/wolff-21/): Also, his professional work with patients was coming to an end after a severe illness. The last ten years of his life, from 1951 to 1961, were largely spent in retirement except for some writing, of which one book is particularly relevant to this memoir. In the late 1940s and early fifties, Irene Champernowne found what she needed from Jung's assistant in Zurich, Fraulein Antonia Wolff, commonly known as Toni.
- [Edward F. Edinger: The Olympian Gods](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/02/15/gods-11/): One of the striking features of The Iliad is that gods and men are active on the same stage. In the course of the battles and the to-and-fro of the champions and the warriors and armies, not only are there human soldiers on the field, but gods are there fighting along with them. Every now and then one of the gods will take one particular warrior and imbue him with superior power, or if a favorite is having a bad time of it, he may just pick him up bodily in a cloud and transport him to safety. If we take this as a picture of the psychological realm, we see that there is a free, fluid interpenetration
- [C.G. Jung’s Active Imagination by Leon Schlamm](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/02/13/imagination-13/): C.G. Jung’s development of the dissociative technique of active imagination, the visionary practice of ‘‘dreaming with open eyes,’’ arose out of his early experimentation with paranormal phenomena, especially mediumship, itself a dissociative technique of contacting the dead which traces its provenance to shamanism.

- [Jung, Carl Gustav, and Feminism by Vivianne Crowley](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/02/07/feminism/): Jung, Carl Gustav, and Feminism by Vivianne Crowley Cherry Hill Seminary, Columbia, SC, USA
- [Lance Owens: History and the Transformation of Jung](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/02/06/transform-2/): With publication of The Red Book: Liber Novus in 2009 and the subsequent publication of Jung’s Black Book journals in 2020, understanding of Jung in his historical context has entered a generational period of transformation.
- [Suzanne Gieser:  Individual Dream Symbols in Relation to Alchemy](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/02/05/alchemy-42/): In Psychology and Alchemy, the interpretation of Pauli’s church dream is amplified with this theme of emotions and affect that find no suitable religious outlet in a Christianity that is too Apollonian.
- [When I was in Africa I always went to the places which were said by the Negroes to be haunted](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/02/04/africa-4/): When I was in Africa I always went to the places which were said by the Negroes to be haunted, in order to find out what made them say so.
- [James Hillman:  Because our Western culture declared “Nature abhors a vacuum,” we abhor emptiness.](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/02/03/nature-abhors/): Because our Western culture declared “Nature abhors a vacuum,” we abhor emptiness.
- [Freema Gottlieb:The Kabbla, Jung and the Feminine Image](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/02/02/feminine-8/): In regard to the latter, he admits freely, as do the Kabbalists, that the feminine anima is as often as not conventionally associated with darkness, negativity, even what we call evil.
- [John Beebe: Jung and intuition](https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2026/02/01/intuition-7/): In 1919, on the first in-print occasion that Jung moved beyond Jacob Burckhardt’s serviceable Urbild, or ‘primordial image’, to employ a more controversially Platonizing term, Archetypus (archetype), he linked that new, self-admittedly ‘borderline concept’ that he knew could not quite sit comfortably within reasonable post-Aristotelian discourse about forms of cognition to another, even more ambiguous word that had only recently entered his scientific vocabulary, ‘intuition’, which he forever changed by making it, as it were, the pearl of the oyster.
