Yes, it certainly is. I actually find myself reading and must take at least a week to reflect, breakdown and digest his words, before I can move forward. So much emotions, feelings and masterful concepts in his work. A Creative Mad Genius, yes, that just about sums him up perfectly. Have you studied Hermann Hesse, Bosch, or any other visionaries like him, who interested him as well?

as do i my spiritual friend, and man is it a hefty reading! it's surely the biggest book in my collection, and possibly the most interesting. what a mad genius that man was.

[@Prayer-In-Practice]

Kinda looks like what people see on peyote or Shrooms, very interesting stuff. I engage in various "sober physcidelic" techniques such as lucid dreaming, gantzfield effect, total dark meditation, breath work meditation and stillness meditation. I keep a journal of what i see and hear and make drawings and poems based on my expeirences. I guess I have my own red book so to speak, but I started doing this long before I found out about the red book, I wonder how many people have also done this over centuries.

@Chuichupachichi just a thought. Did you ever watch WESTERNS? Cowboy Movies? Ok thru programming we always thought the INDIANS were bad they were EVIL. The settlers were good and the INdians were bad. Cowboys brought guns, while Indians had made up bows/arrows, knifes, rocks, etc. The Indians were bad Cowboys good??? or Was it the other way around? Native Americans lived on the land and it was their home, invaders basically came over and stole from them. Who was good? Bad?

[@BronxStarr68]

Hi Heart, yes there is a readers edition available for purchase online and in certain bookstores. I have held Meetup meetings in my area just so people who cannot or do not have a copy were able to hold it, thumb (very carefully) threw it. Maybe you can find a group like that as well??

[@WonderWomanFan4life]

@Chuichupachichi ok. I aggree and I see where you are coming from on your statement. Interesting

[@laburgy]

2009 this was put online, some people are referring to Jung almost affectionately as a mad genius. Have we developed our collective consciousness by 2021 so that we are able to understand this is not madness. This is an exploration he undertook to understand his soul. As Sonu Shamdasanl patiently explains, this was the pivotal work of Jung's life, the mountains and valleys he visited which brought about his knowledge and psychological realisations. What a gift we are blessed with to have the Red Book, to study such a unique and extraordinary consciousness. Thank you to all involved who brought copies to the world.

@WonderWomanFan4life Programming is sooooo dammmm good. You do not really know the truth. I don't even think you could handle the real truth. Who are you? Why are you hear? Why do you believe what you do? I think you believe it not from first hand experience but because you were programmed to believe and that is what you will fight for based on programming aka brain washing. YOu do not know. YOu should not speak until you have experience and UNDERSTANDING but maybe you do. So speak

[@WonderWomanFan4life]

@Chuichupachichi Ok just asking a question. But I would like to know your opinion or facts you have, hypothesis etc. on religion that controls, dictates, manipulates, or teaches followers what to think, feel, stay away from, etc? Can you think of any ways that Catholics, Christians, etc have tried to CONTROL others? I would love to hear your opinion. What about Programming or TElevision? Can you think of any ways that TV, Radio, Newspaper, movies, programm or control others? just asking

[@WonderWomanFan4life]

@Chuichupachichi Yes it appears that they do try to institutionalize many. I recently saw a report on the solar panneling jobs that are supposed to be created by the B.O. Adm. supposedly Van Jones and team had a deal worked out where PRISONERS would be making solar panels and etc. That is FREE labor therefore they could make the most money off the products. So for the GOV it seems to be more profitable for them the hire prisoners. You can look that up . SAD but JUNG was not perfect

[@phillipvangarrick936]

What does your statement have to do with Jung? It was the Christian heritage of his relatives, who considered his works heretical, that kept this book from being published much earlier. Jung would probably totally agree with you.

[@siyaindagulag.]

Thanks for the overview And the reminder. If this book isn't an answer to the current madness, then it is a far superior antidote ,to the one we're being force-fed.

intoxication of mythology. too many things in ancient books Jung has seen and overactive imaginations..without self control. He freely diving into the world of phantasy and daily dreamy state..its normally to create such strange visions. . colective unconscious and archetype possible don't exist in form how Jung imagine.

[@ryan.1990]

Yes, you know more than one of the 20th century's greatest minds, silly us.

[@lauralivingstone4052]

James O'Morain throw your view on Heinz Kohut theory of narcissism and breaking cohesive structure that cause infantile phantasies .. Mechanism in psychodinamic psychology is totally different than Jungs theory of balance between two opposite sides.. Take in consideration and Adlers thinkings about overcompensations. Jung have too much contradictions and unscientific elements but respectable knowledge of mythology, history, religions..and so on Sometimes he tried to explain psych.fact as intrapsychical processes..later as extrapsychical processes...very confused and unexplainable.. Ghosts, spirits, gods, angels, destiny, ego will, unconcens power as strong forces..drow us and flooding our minds..

[@churchofprometheus8898]

I disagree. As a complete skeptic and secular person, I took up meditation to help me with anxiety. While meditating one day, I had an extremely vivid vision of a horrific snake that wanted to strangle and bite me. It vomited disturbing images at me and showed me my personal shadow. Eventually it swallowed it's own tail, becoming an ouroboros . I was unfamiliar with Jung, magick, the archetypes, and the ouroboros back then. These images must have been part of the collective unconsciousness. I've continued with active imagination since that day, and I've found there is a treasure trove of images that appear to me that are very unfamiliar. Sometimes, seeing is believing.
