Jung's Library

“The main content of Jung’s private library was contemporary literature of the 19th and 20th century, mainly about medicine, psychiatry, psychology and philosophy. Additionally there are a great number of books on antique cultures, gnosis, christian symbols, eastern religion, ethnology and occultism. The library also contains a collection of about 300 rare books (printed before 1800) on alchemy, theurgy and kabbala, as well as antique literature on dreams, writings of church fathers and of the latin and greek classic.”

Jung continues his learning with his soul. New characters emerge: Phanes, Atmavictu, Ha, Ka, the black bird, a divine Arab youth, the spirit of gravity, and Wotan. The question becomes what is the right relation to the higher powers, how to maintain a human perspective.  Perhaps man is to be the mediator as God transforms. {see Jung’s Answer to Job. Jung begins his attempt to translate his fantasies into a vocabulary suitable for a medical-scientific audience. He recognized certain types that recurred: the shadow, the wise old man, the child, the mother, the maiden, the anima and the animus. Jung also developed a language for his own cosmology and mythology. Shamdasani says as this is developed in the Black Books it is also reflected in Jung’s published works. [/b]Jung also has a calligraphic book for the expression of his active imagination as paintings. They are found in the Liber Novus but are more related to Books 6 and 7 of the Black Books.
