Where should i start and in which order should i read these? And is there anything i should read beforehand? Considering maybe reading "secret teachings of all ages" by manly p hall beforehand, anything else i need?

The two danish titles is roughly translated as "The Unconscious" and "The I and The Unconscious" I do not know what their English titles are. Here they
are in german, but i cannot find their English titles. https://archive.org/stream/UberDiePsychologieDesUnbewuC.G.Jung/Uber%20Die%20Psychologie%20Des%20Unbewu%20-%20C.%20G.%20Jung#page/n0/mode/2up

I'd start with Modern Man in Search of a Soul.

Start with a book called German for Reading. upon finishing that text you should be able to mull over Jung in German. Pls throw out those English translations.

Actually considering taking some courses in German, but is the translation that bad in comparison?

Man in search of a soul. then 'I and the unconscious', it sounds like one of his books I read in french with a similar title(dialectique du moi et de l'inconscient), which is somewhat entry level Jung.

way to out yourself as an ignorant who only knows of Jung BECAUSE the memefucktard talks about it. You're as pathetic as memersons fangirls. Both of you didn't know of jung before this fag. you're all plebs.

to be honest memerson uses Jung in my plebeian opinion(i haven't read Jung) quite well, at least entry level. Where i think memerson gets bad is his repetition and lack of evolution.

I recommend starting with Man and His Symbols.

Oh, and despite what others might tell you, you should stay far, far away from the Black Books and even farther away from the Red Book.

They're personal diaries never intended for publication, basically Jung's raw consciousness. Without the context of his organized, published thoughts they're largely unintelligible.

>>10875057
As a beginner I can't really recommend Man and His Symbols. The first chapter I found pretty good as it introduced his main theories. But chapter 2 and onward felt really confusing and baseless, literally astrology tier. I tried to take them seriously but they provide no explanations for any of their symbolic interpretations. My felt that I'm missing something, like I should have read something before it, but idk.
Man in search of his soul is actually way better, started it recently and so far it's pretty good.
