Carl Jung's lasting influence on contemporary psychology surpasses that of his mentor Sigmund Freud, particularly in areas such as introversion and extroversion, and in spiritual practices. His intense personal journey led to the creation of The Red Book, an artistic compilation of his dreams and mystical visions he recorded after breaking with Freud in 1913. This six-year endeavor resulted in a deeply personal text, beautifully illustrated yet bound without publication, reflecting his complex experiences and the quest for self-understanding through individuation.
After his break with Freud in 1913, when he was 38 years old, Jung had what he feared might be a psychotic break with reality.
Jung's journey to self-understanding, which he called 'individuation,' was an intensely private affair that took place over sixteen years.
The Red Book, a magnificent folio-sized artwork, encapsulates Jung's dreams, mystical visions, and psychedelic inner voyages during his spiritual quest.
Jung had the work bound but not published; it's a very personal record of his complicated, tortuous and lengthy quest.
