Jung did discuss his self-experimentation with others. He continued to rewrite from his Black books a new section called Scrutinies. In this rewriting he realizes the importance of the self in the path to God. The self frees him from God who is hate as well as love, meaninglessness as well as wisdom; etc. This experience is reflected in the vision of Abraxas in the Sermones. He realizes that much of the Black book came from Philemon. Now his concept of the soul is formulated to reflect three parts: a serpent, a human soul, and a bird or heavenly soul.
