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.”

Based upon a dream and a mandala Jung realized the self is the goal of individuation. The progression to self is not linear but is a circumambulatory process. The first phase is where one is established in the world; the second phase is a reevaluation of the first and the development of a personality. This could be called a mind-life crisis. The book to reference here is his 1926 revision of “The Principle of the Unconscious Processes” and the 1928 published “The Relation between the I and the Unconscious”. The key steps here are the integration of the anima and having a relationship with the mana personality. The self is the goal of life. Then comes preparation for death; here our individualization becomes a preparation for death and a new life after death.
