Thank you Karl for this incredible article!!! I have been a lifelong explorer in Jung’s work. I was shocked when I when in my college course in Personality Theory that Jung was mentioned as being psychotic and a crackpot! I thought he was brilliant and his words, thoughts, ideas, theories rang so true to me. I was hooked the moment I read his Memories, Dreams and Reflections. Some of my best loved books on my bookshelf are Jung’s work. Thank you so much for integrating his work with shamanism. Your perspective has truly re-ignited my passion for his work.
Blessings upon your heart,

Thanks, Bonita and Jeanne.
Jung has been grossly misunderstood because of narrow perspectives and the complex way in which he writes (and, of course, the times in which he lived). It sometimes happens that when one sees something another does not see or want to see, they are considered “crazy.” Sometime they are, of course, but sometimes the perception of “craziness” arises out of the observer’s blindness, anxiety, ignorance or projection. Many years ago, I worked with psychotic people and they could not have done what Jung did in terms of writing and structuring his time for daily normal work and evening explorations of consciousness. I don’t consider him a saint or perfect, but still one of the great minds of the 20th century. As someone has said, “Those who cannot hear the music think the dancers mad.”
