Comments on: Culture Vulture: Reading Jung’s “Red Book,” Part One http://blog.theartsfuse.com/2009/11/23/culture-vulture-reading-jungs-red-book-part-one/ Commentary on the arts Sun, 14 Mar 2010 15:43:18 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 By: Gibbs A, Williams http://blog.theartsfuse.com/2009/11/23/culture-vulture-reading-jungs-red-book-part-one/comment-page-1/#comment-2910 Gibbs A, Williams Wed, 23 Dec 2009 06:45:36 +0000 http://blog.theartsfuse.com/?p=3674#comment-2910 Helen Epstein is to be congratulated for writing a unusually objective article. I recently saw the exhibit where Jung's Red Book is prominently displayed. Considering the extraordinary attention to detail it is a wonder he found the time to produce this work which is only a small amount of the enormous work he - like Freud - produced. However when it comes to his ideas - particularly his partially psychodynamic and partially mystical/ magical theory of synchronicities I part company. For those who would like to view an alternative naturalistic theory of synchronicities I invite you to read my soon to be published book (the result of a 40 year investigation of these most perplexing occurrences) called: DEMYSTIFYING MEANINGFUL COINCIDENCES (SYNCHRONICITIES): The Evolving Self, The Personal Unconscious, and The Creative Process.
