'Man and his Symbols' Carl G Jung Part 1

@AntonDoesMusic 3 years ago

22:05 to skip the introduction, I'll sum it up: Someone asked Jung if he would write a condensed and palatable book of his philosophies for the average reader. Jung said "No." Then Jung had a dream about speaking to a large audience of average people, and they seemed to understand what he was saying. Jung said, "Rock 'n' Roll, buckaroo! Let's write this thing."

This is, in my opinion, the best introduction to Jung's ideas. Much effort was made to make it understandable to the average reader (me)....thanks to John Freeman. After this, I would recommend his autobiography Memories, Dreams, Reflections. From there I would go to "Modern Man in search of a Soul". If you are really ambitious then go to the Collected Works and plow through them Volumes 1 through 17. It is an encyclopedic cache for the psyche. Fantastic, life-altering, insights can be found throughout but I've found real resonance with CW 9 and 11. Jung's take on the Psychology and the East and comparing it to the West has been helpful. His introduction(s) to Richard Wilhelm's "The Secret of the Golden Flower" and Suzuki's Zen Buddhism are enlightening. Personally helped me get a much better understanding of the Eastern Psyche. Happy Reading.

Jung is my Virgil as I stumble my way through the darkest circles of my mind.

I love this man. They will be reading his books in 300 years. All my esoteric inclinations since I was a baby finally came to the surface over the last three years. I went to the library 3 months ago and stumbled upon Alchemical Studies... Then started listening to his content on YouTube. All I have to say is, he's been the best at summarizing all the different phenomena I've been unofficially researching for most of my life 🧬. Man has created words in language to describe various human experiences, and our understanding of those experiences totally wrong, because the experiences are forced to fit within the meaning of the words used to describe them. That's where the problem starts. We have to figure out how to live without verbal communication. It's a more devine way of relating. Symbols.

It's actually quite amazing that after publishing many readings of Dr. Jung's work myself, I am only now finding this detailed reading of Man and His Symbols. This shows the limitations of the search algorithm. It's great to find this valuable reading and its subsequent parts.

Reading Man and His Symbols was a transformative experience for me. The book delves deep into the human psyche, exploring the power of symbolism and dreams in shaping our unconscious minds. Jung's insights on the collective unconscious, archetypes, and the shadow self provide a profound understanding of the human condition.

Most of this book was not written by Jung. It is an anthology of essays by various brilliant associates of Jung intended to present his work to the general population. I believe only one of the essays was written by Jung himself.
