Jung's Red Book | Steven Herrmann | Blog Post | Red Room

 May be receiving such surprising attention within our culture today:  1) Jung saw analytical psychology as existing in an area outside the literary field, yet directly adjacent to it; 2) Jung was a psychiatrist first and foremost, who tried to maintain a psychological attitude toward literature and the arts through the lens of his scientific understanding and science is our prevailing world-myth today; 3) There is an organic connection between depth-psychology and literature that suggests they need each other as two beads on a single thread; and 4) In the Red Book Reading the Red Book

Hi Marilyn,

The forest is indeed a conducive space for dreaming. I hope you have a "big" one. I am in the process of reading Jung's Red Book right now. It opens so many doors and lets us see how Jung did it. My teaching about active imagination will never be the same after reading this book. The paintings Jung did are quite spectacular and the calligraphic writing is equally impressive. I find that taking it in slowly suits my pace right now. It is not a book that one sits down and reads at a couple of sittings as the fantasy material is so dense. There will be a conference on the Red Book in San Francisco on June 5th and 6th, which I plan to attend. There are a number of prominent analysts who will be speaking. I hope your class is going well.

Good to hear from you!

Best regards,

Steven

Thanks, and--

I once met Gioia Timpanelli at the edge of the forest in Woodstock.  She's a world class storyteller, good friend of Robert Bly's.  And now of mine!

When I get home I'd like to send you a book of poems.  No book report necessary!  The big dream in Packing Light has given me my vocation.

The conference in SF should be astounding.   Do non-analysts participate?   Dream on!   Marilyn
