We’re squeezing in one more episode to season one of The Action Field. And boy, it’s a good one! When Carl Jung was approached in regards to an autobiography he initially said, “That sort of thing lies entirely outside my range.” The publishers, however, were smart enough to persist and to team him up with Aniela Jaffe (co-writer) who sat with Jung for one afternoon per week from 1957 to 1959. At this point Jung was past his 80th year and though it placed great strain on him to write, he began to sense an important connection between his earliest memories and the ideas in the works he’d written in old age. “A book of mine is always a matter of fate”, said Jung. As such, he only began to commit to his ‘autobiography’ once he felt it to be “a task imposed on him from within.” His Memories, Dreams, Reflections follow in the same fashion; a recollection of “inner” experiences. “Only what is interior has proved to have substance…” said Jung. “Outer experiences were never so essential anyhow, or were so only in that they coincided with phases of my inner-development.” Hope you enjoy our one hour trip into the psyche of Carl Jung. His Memories, Dreams, Reflections is undoubtedly one of the greatest works I’ve read (even though Jung himself refused to allow this book to be included in his collected works!).
