Reflections of Jung,
By
This review is from: Memories, Dreams, Reflections (Paperback)
"Memories, Dreams, Reflections" is the most insightful autobiography of Carl G. Jung's life and his humble experiences. I have read his other works, including "Man and His Symbols" and "Dreams," and never fully understand them until I read this last book of his to which brings it all together in terms of his scientific approach. This 400-page book is a window into his inner world, and it is such a remarkable read.In this book, Jung revealed much wisdom and insights from his early years up to his remainder of his life. One even can learn about oneself from his life. It is very much worth reading. It is both fascinating and inspiring. My favorite line of Jung from this book: "As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being."

Vocatus Atque Non Vocatus Deus Adherit,
By the wizard of uz (Studio City, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Memories, Dreams, Reflections (Paperback)
The inscription from the Delphic Oracle which Jung carved in stone over his front door: " Invoked or not invoked the god will be there"He said you could take away a man's gods, but only to give him new ones. He spoke from personal experience. His great teacher was a critically skeptical materialist who staunchly maintained he was free of any irrational wishfull thinking, as a healthy adult and as true scientist should be. However. . . "I can still recall vividly how Freud said to me , 'My dear Jung promise me never to abandon the sexual theory. . .You see, we must make a dogma out of it'. He said that to me with great emotion, in the tone of a father saying, 'And promise me this one thing, my dear son: that you will go to church every Sunday." A dogma? He continues: " I was bewildered and embarrassed. . . One thing was clear: Freud who had always made much of his irreligiosity, had now constructed a dogma; or rather in the place of a jealous God whom he had lost, he had substituted another. " But Freud was in step with his time. Psychology is, literally , the study of the soul. And what truck did the 20th century have to do with gods or souls? So Jung became branded as a head in the clouds mystic, after his 'father' disowned him. And former admirers to the 'heir apparent' abandoned him. This is an autobiography that reads like a lyrical poem, yet lucid and very easy to follow---right into the land of dreams. He covers his earliest childhood memories, his relationship and break with Freud, and his subsequent explorations into the heart of modern man. The emphasis is always that of the physician. Where can the healing come from? As to his final conclusion, by the end of his life he stated that he did not believe in God. He knew.

A glimpse into the humanity of the healer,
By lucifer-dianus "lucifer-dianus" (Louisville KY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Memories, Dreams, Reflections (Paperback)
This book does give a good overview of Jung's ideas, and how the developed in his life and interior thought. What I most love about this book, however is the feeling I came away with for Jung himself. It made me feel that he was a deeply compassionate, openminded and rational man, if imperfect as all men. Its greatness is that it puts a human face behind all of the science and ideas of his legacy, and gives the reader an insight of his own inner experience which one can relate to.
