Introduction -- The edifice of C. G. Jung's work is reminiscent of a cathedral that has been built in th course of many centuries. Those who are willing to undertake the effort of contemplating it in a spirit of genuine inquiry and with only the inevitable minimum of preconceived notions are bound to find themselves astonishingly well rewarded. They will make countless discoveries in regard to the grandeur of his original conceptions and the unanticipated richness of detail which, in the phrase of the Quakers, "speak to their condition" -- the human condition of doubt and distress, of the search for meaning, of the joyful recognition of universal human sentiment and of the contemporaneous foundation of abiding truths.  Preface:
Dr. de Laszlo has risked shocking the American reader by including some of my most difficult essays in her selection from my writings. Investigation of the psychology of the unconscious confronted me with facts which required the formulation of new concepts. | |

The European invasion of the East was a deed of violence on a grand scale, and it has lef us the duty--noblesse oblige--of understanding the mind of the East. This is perhaps more necessary than we realize at present. (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.) | |
