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’s soul is a child, a girl child. Now he tells her his story. Starting with 2 dreams he had that motivated him to study natural science and medicine. Now there is hesitation to follow his soul into the unknown. What does the soul want? Jung has doubts. Yet he knows he should not doubt.  Then he tells of a dream. His doubts tell him that he is writing to be printed; that Nietzsche did what he is trying better; he is ‘aping’ Saint Augustine.  {In 1934 /35 JUng taught a seminar on Nietzsche’s Zarathustra}Jung wonders what to do with his doubt; asks for his soul to decide. He needs more depth, more solitude, to waken the dead. Jung says he is not yet ready.
