as an artist who has mined the unconscious for source material, the release of this book is seminal to all artists and spiritual seekers. The archtypes revealed here speak to all of us, such as the cross in the circle, a universal symbol that is seen in the archeological record from all over the world. The images we see everyday in our media are far scarier and more dangerous.

Wow! Jung’s “Man and His Symbols” has always been one of my favorite books, appealing to both the artist within me (I have an undergraduate degree in fine arts) and the clinician (I have a master’s degree in clinical social work). This journal, from just these glimpses, shows me that Jung was as much an artist/ visionary as a scientist/ philosopher/ psychological theorist. The work itself reminds me of William Blake’s visionary paintings, although those were more figurative, but Jung’s work appears to be even more diversely rooted in many, many (and universal) spiritual traditions. His visual approach to describing the collective unconscious has always intrigued me, and now I can’t wait for the release of this book. Why did his family repress this work for so many generations? The line between crazy/ genius is subjective, and Jung was clearly a genius.

Norton is to be congratulated on such a magnificent publication. I am afraid, however, that many who buy the book will not read it and that even fewer will understand its meaning. To give this work some context, people should read Jung’s autobiography, MEMORIES, DREAMS, REFLECTIONS, especially chapter 6 “Confrontation with the Unconscious.”

At last Carl Gustav Jung’s Red Book is coming forth.
We would all be well served to remember Jung’s own struggle with the proper context for the books images, and his own reluctance, even aversion, to allowing himself to be convinced and persuaded, by admirers, that these were valuable images of “Fine Art.”
Of course, that they ARE to we the viewers, and yet for Jung, as one reads in his very accessible autobiography, (which I read at least once a year), “Memories, Dreams, Reflections,” these images, had to be constantly grounded and firmly taken hold of.
Jung knew enough as a seasoned inner traveller at this point, to always ground the images of the unconscious, rather than be lifted out of reality by their Numenous power.
For some, Images take us with them, for Jung, who we must all be grateful to for such hard work, the search for the facts of the Unconscious, out-weighed subjective “Beauty,” for its own sake.
Seeing these images, I am even more impressed than ever by the power of Jung’s own strength of being, of character, and of his constant return to honesty as a maxim for life and truth, and for not being literally “Blown Away,” by the power of these images.
Thank You Carl Gustav Jung, for teaching me everything I have ever learned about being Human, more clearly than any other writer.
Journey’s within are dangerous, they are not for every human being. Some of us are forced, as Jung was, to take the journey, and to confront the uncoscious.
For those who would idly play with these energies, a compassionate warning, do not venture in, unless you are compelled by your very Soul to make the journey.

For those interested in Jung’s final conclusions,
this quote offers much:
“man has need of the word, but in essence number
is sacred.” Jung….

The Department of Defense provided On Point with some statistics about IED attacks in Afghanistan, where there has been an increase in the use of such weapons over the past 14 months. It’s striking to see the spike in numbers — from 2,677 IED incidents in 2007 to 8,159 last year.
U.S. Ambassaor to Iraq Christopher Hill spoke with On Point live from Baghdad today as early voting gets underway, part of the run-up to Sunday’s elections. “So far so good,” Hill said, despite scattered violence. Hill said that the plan to withdraw U.S. combat troops by Sept. 1, and to leave only a residual advisory force of 50,000 or fewer, remains “very much on schedule.” Observers worry that a spike in violence could derail that timeline.
For radio listeners, a key element of our conversation about the Supreme Court gun-rights case was conspicuously absent: the audio recording of the oral arguments. Here’s why.
