Psychology of the Unconscious to break with Freud and then everything else.

"Man and His Symbols" is the easiest, a good general overview, and basically made for the layman

Then maybe "Psychology and Alchemy" and "The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious" from the Bollingen series are both essential, but much more rigorous

His autobiography "Memories, Dreams, Reflections" is good if you want to know about the man in his own words. Also one called "Jung the Mystic" is another decent biography.

"The Red Book" is very curious and has great art, imagery, and poetry. The full version with his art is quite expensive, but there's a much cheaper "Reader's version" with just his text (still quite a nice tome)

He means the phenomenon of seeing things in the sky is real, not that alien spacecraft exist and fly above us in our skies. I think he thought that flying saucers were just manifestations of the mind/psyche, and a symbol that existed at different points in our past/history as well. The flying saucers, being round, represented "oneness"/completeness/wholeness similar to a mandala

iirc Man and His Symbols was written specifically with the intention of introducing Jung to a wider audience, i.e. outside of academia. It's accessible and gives a decent overview of Jung's thoughts.

>>13516040 is right. Here's a worthwhile exploration of this subject by Terence McKenna:

Yeah, the McKennas were big fans of Jung. Straight from the source though, Jung wrote about them in "Flying Saucers: a modern myth of things seen in the skies"

they also had first-hand experience with seeing a UFO up-close in the amazon jungle in 1971 (of course, they were both tripping hard on mushrooms for weeks, but still...). You can read about it in "The Invisible Landscape", "True Hallucinations", and "Brotherhood of the Screaming Abyss"

also, on this point, I think "Modern Man in Search of a Soul" was meant to serve as a similar thing, but it's not nearly as good as "Man and his Symbols" imo

This is specifically the opposite of what he is saying in that article.

[Anonymous No.13516235]

You don't.

You read Rudolf Allers instead.

That newspaper article was not written by Jung. Look into what he says in his own work about them

[Anonymous No.13516265]

Once you've read The Holy Bible, you'll understand that Jung was just a sad and godless madman. No use in reading his drivel.

He’s literally quoted as saying “a purely psychological explanation is ruled out”, unless he was badly misquoted he’s saying that flying saucers are a real phenomenon.

Well man this holy book is really something, have you even read it? Other than the apologetics I mean.

"The Interpretation of Nature and the Psyche" and "Nietzsche’s 'Zarathustra'" are his only works really worth reading.

He refuted Freud and was a prominent psychiatrist, psychologist and philosopher, a former Freud disciple that converted from Judaism to Catholicism and got really into thomistic philosophy and psychology.
He mainly focused on educational and pedagogical issues, as in :
Character education in adolescence
The psychology of character
Sex psychology in education
Self-improvement
Work and Play

>wahhhhh why God do mean thing

You realize this is no rebuttal to the God we believe in here. We profess and believe and acknowledge God has killed people he has created, to serve a purpose and message to others, as preached in the Koran and Bible.

And justly so. There is none more just than God himself, of him I can find no faults. :3
