Description
As I neared the end of Book Two of Jung Uncorked, it became clear to me that I would have to continue this series. There were still so many essays in Jung’s Collected Works that I appreciated but had not explored. Hence I resolved to go on, explicating one essay from each volume in the CW, with my experiential commentaries on their psychological and contemporary significance. In the midst of a crazy-making extraverted world that defies all understanding, it keeps me close to a life-enhancing source of wisdom and sanity, and lets me feel I’m doing something meaningful.
And it’s my calling, after all.
I see myself as a conservative or “classical” Jungian. I do not mean to impugn the integrity of other so-called post-Jungians, but while others may claim to go “beyond Jung,” I am still trying to reach his bootstraps. Hence in Jung Uncorked I make no claim to be presenting original research; rather I hew closely to the fundamental concepts of analytical psychology as Jung propounded them. The style and commentaries, of course, are uniquely my own.
