Jung changed the face of our understanding of the human mind and was integral to psychologys understanding of the unconsious or subconscious impulses which drive mans behavior. Jung however, went much further than every other psychologist, to the extent that his understanding and his way of describing things seems to me to not only encompass the whole of Eastern and Western mysticism and religion, but he effortlessly made them into a mind-bogglingly simple, yet profound, syncretic system that the Western Mind will appreciate especially. I was so moved by his lucid understanding of occult knowledge and the fluidity and ease with which he translated this knowledge into his own beautifully simple and pragmatic system, that I HAD to upload this WHOLE series, which will be 12 parts long, and I hope you all will appreciate it as much as I have! ~ SS Wikipedia: Man and His Symbols is the last work undertaken by Carl Jung before his death in 1961. First published in 1964, it is divided into five parts, four of which were written by associates of Jung: Marie-Louise von Franz, Joseph L. Henderson, Aniela Jaffé, and Jolande Jacobi. The book, which contains numerous illustrations, seeks to provide a clear explanation of Jungs complex theories for a wide non-specialist readership. Jung wrote Part 1, Approaching the Unconscious, of the book in English. The last year of his life was devoted almost entirely to this book, and when he died in June 1961, his own section was complete (he finished it, in fact, only some 10 days before his final illness) and his colleagues chapters had all been approved by him in draft. . . . The chapter that bears his name is his work and (apart from some fairly extensive editing to improve its intelligibility to the general reader) nobody elses. It was written, incidentally, in English. The remaining chapters were written by the various authors to Jungs direction and under his supervision. ~ John Freeman, editor, page viii of the Introduction, Dell Publishing, 1968 youtu.be/aIXWnj_m9Rc
