Red book

[StarStruck]

Anybody read the red book by Jung? What did you think about ? Looks like he knew much more than he is credited for. Well ahead of his time. I think nobody can close to him level of consciousness. It is a must read for anybody who is into spirituality.

If you are interested in such topics I recommend you Psychosynthesis: A Psychology of the Spirit

This a definition of Psychosynthesis.

Quote

In sum, we can say that psychosynthesis

is a system that attempts

to understand both analysis and synthesis,

both wounding and healing,

both personal and transpersonal growth,

and both abyss and peak experiencing.

 

Again, and above all, this is a perspective that allows an empathic

connection to the unique human person, no matter what the stage of healing

and growth, and draws upon techniques, methods, and practices only from

within this empathic understanding.

Psychosynthesis seems to be the psychology of Awakening, It's very helpful and the more I'm reading the book, the more I'm seeing the big picture of everything. It's not philosophy, it's not spirituality or religion, it's not metaphysics. Psychosynthesis is the psychologic background that enables you to do all those things.

Carl Jung is hard to read, so it's better to have some context before going to his Red Book.

I recommend you first read Carl G. Jung's book: Man and His Symbols 

That's what my uncle, a jungian psychologist, suggested me. Well in fact he gifted me that book, it's very good. I really recommend it, Easy to understand and deep. Not like classical Jungian texts that are deep but hard to understand. Man and His Symbols was the last book that Jung wrote before his death and was written so that it was as simple and direct as possible.
