GrandTrinity Posted September 5, 2006 Scholarly understand of Jung seems to be very important for introducing the Tao in the West. What can the Tao bums share about Jung? Resources? Insights? thank you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wayfarer64 Posted September 5, 2006 I guess he is best known in this context for writing a foreword to the Wilhelm/Baynes translation of the Yi Jing.  http://www.iging.com/intro/foreword.htm  Its a good read in itself and shouldn't be ignored as part of Taoist thought...

... Posted September 6, 2006 I have timothy leary's transltion of TSOTGF.. no introduction =( I didn't know he had one... jung is probably one of the few dudes I 'admire'... His work on the 'group unconciousness', archetypes, the aspects of the self, his personality theory.. all extraordinary... in his autobiography he mentions many occult happenings.. and can get VERY spiritual in flavor towards the end. obviously, he is known as a 'reviver' of western alchemy... However I have never seen any works of his contributing directly to western occultism... (not to say that his philosophy on psychology does not contribute greatly to the subject...) Â I 'admire' him so much, I framed a picture of him, peering through a tome, in black and white. To me, this picture represents the archetype of the old wise man-- manifest.

Wayfarer64 Posted October 1, 2006 (edited) Here is another link to Jung's writtings, this on Richard Wilhelm-who is certainly amongst the foremost translaters of the I Ching from the west... http://www.schoolofwisdom.com/jung-wilhelm.html Edited October 1, 2006 by Wayfarer64 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
