Jung: A Biography by Deirdre Bair
(1 votes, average: 4 out of 5)
Loading ...I’ve spent the last few weeks engrossed in this fascinating biography of C.G. Jung. The author is not a Jung "devotee" and you can see her efforts to present all sides of every issue. Her vignettes give several, sometimes conflicting, views of Jung’s character and work which effected his immediate circle of family, friends and acquaintances as well as the world of psychology in numerous, often disparate ways. This is a fascinating read if you are at all interested in Jung and/or his theories.

“the real universe is within us, and what is experienced outwardly
is secondary.” Jung….
Over 50 years ago, Dr. Carl Jung, (psychologist) and Professor W. Pauli, Nobel laureate, physics, concluded that an acausal connecting principle is at work in the universe. Basically when two or more unrelated events come together with a common meaning, which, at times, can be interpreted. (synchronicity).
This is especially true when number symbolism appears, since both agreed that number is the most primal archetype, (first form) of order in the human mind.

I guess Todd’s pointing out some of the interesting things that Jung worked on for those who aren’t familiar.
