Can some based german anon make a translation of jung that doesnt sound like some carl sagan/nietzsche/stoner hybrid. God this translation is awful

so according to the red book the universe is consensual and i'm here because a part of me i'm not consciously aware of wants to be here
how do i get rid of this part and finally stop existing? suicide obviously won't work on consciousness that exists beyond space and time

How do I read the red book?

this diary of a wimpy kid book for sure is something

Peak schizo. I wish I could understand it.

Has anybody ever come close to going as deep as jung did in his quest for truth ? And is this book really where it all ends ?

Possibly. Hard to tell, but good catch.

Definitely.

Now Jungians are going to be on watchlists. This guy should have tried harder to integrate his shadow.

This one is truly downright bizarre.

The Red Book is maybe the most inspiring and magical book I've ever read, mainly because it's just him chronicling his adventures into his mind. It's not fundamentally meant to be read by others, which makes it a deeply personal and honest book. The stories feel so real and rich. It's poetry mixed with philosophy mixed with psychoanalysis.

What's the deal with this book, /lit/?

I've kind of developed pretty severe beliefs. I don't consider like 90% of people to be real humans and this last year has really cemented my beliefs that most "people" are just husks of flesh with no souls. Is there any escape from solipsism? I'm reading Jung but he's not helping

Follow the synchronicities, clues to one's destiny

Here take mine

Jung's ideas seem interesting from the little exposure I've had. Is The Red Book worth reading? How is it in terms of difficulty / ease of reading? Other, more appropriate introductory material, is welcome.

will I become a schizophrenic tranny if I read this?

I realized what he did in his 30s to his 50s, investigating beneath his consciousness, was what Rimbaud did in his late teens. Unlike Rimbaud, he hung on to his sanity thanks to his wife and children.
Red Book is breath taking as a work of art.

How do I know if I'm ready?

OH MY FUCKING GOD IM GOING INSANE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

where to go from here /lit/ feel like I'm on to something

people will talk about the pictures in this but it's the words that will fundamentally change your person & blow that mind straight to nut

Anyone got a copy of this behemoth? Is it good, or is it more for people who have already finished reading Jung's oeurve and are looking for additional stuff. If you have a copy some pics would be nice.
