Crvena knjiga

očekivah

Fotke iz nje će doći na red.
Iz opisa topiva se moglo zaključiti da je ta Jungova knjiga u pitanju. Ali falila mi je tema za različite fotke na koje naime na netu a ne uklapaju se ni u jedan od postojećih topica.

Ovaj autokorekt me zna izluditi.

aha ok

baš sam se ponadao da neće bit mimova..

Ma da, mimovi nisu baš neka umjetnost  ali ovaj mi je baš legao jutros, a uklapa se i u temu svjesnog i nesvjesnog i besmislenog. Koliko je razvedenih brakova zbog ovako nekih gluposti kao što su nespuštena zahodska daska, nepokupljene mrvice sa stola ili bogzna što još. Isto je i sa muške strane, kad mi naiđe jedan takav stavit ću i njega.

Što se tiče Crvene knjige, jučer mi je tek došla u ruke. Fascinirana sam, ali istovremeno i konsternirana kao i uvijek kad se suočim s Jungom. Nisam njegov fan, naprotiv, kad se nađem pred njegovim analizama osjetim se tako maleno i neobrazovano da me to ispuni intelektualnim jadom. Jako sam jednostavna kao osoba, nemam nikakvih demona koje moram rješavati, svoje traženje duhovnog puta završila sam u 22. godini, a kad sam postala majka nestali su i svi demoni koji su me mučili, ako ih je i bilo. Život mi je majčinstvom dobio puni smisao. Zato me košmari i traženja čovjeka intelektualca poput Junga ispunjavaju, pored svega navedenoga, i  svojevrsnom tugom. Nije se lako boriti sa demonima toliko dugo kroz život.
Stavit ću vjerojatno poneki citat iz knjige na Azil, ali da ću je temeljito čitati i proučavati – sumnjam. Svaki dan nosi svoj egzistencijalni teret – čemu ga još i otežavati.

The years … when I pursued the inner images were the most important time of my life. Everything else is to be derived from this. It began at that time, and the later details hardly matter anymore. My entire life consisted in elaborating what had burst forth from the unconscious and flooded me like an enigmatic stream and threatened to break me. That was the stuff and material for more than only one life.... Everything later was merely the outer classification, the scientific elaboration, and the integration into life. But the numinous beginning, which contained everything, was then.




For nearly a century the Red Book, Liber Novus, remained Jung’s hidden treasure. Only a handful of Jung’s most trusted students and colleagues were allowed to see it during his life; after his death in 1961, all requests for access to the volume were refused by his family. But now, after decades veiled in mystery, the Red Book has finally been released to the world in a magnificent facsimile edition. This singular visionary volume – a book that defies category or comparison – is the crux for any developed understanding of Jung’s psychological work.

In this series of four lectures, Dr. Lance Owens will discuss the genesis and content of the Red Book, and explain its central place in the life and work of C. G. Jung.

Narrative Prologue from "The Back of Beyond: The Red Books of C. G. Jung & J. R. R. Tolkien" by Becca S. Tarnas





Beginning in the year 1913, both C. G. Jung and J. R. R. Tolkien independently began to undergo profound imaginal experiences. They had each stepped across a threshold and entered into another world, the realm of imagination, the world of fantasy. For Jung these initially spontaneous visionary experiences, which he later developed into a meditative technique called active imagination, were recorded in Liber Novus, usually referred to simply as The Red Book. The experiences narrated in The Red Book became the seeds from which nearly all Jung's subsequent work flowered. For Tolkien this imaginal journey revealed to him the world of Middle-earth, whose stories and myths eventually led to the writing of The Lord of the Rings, a book he named within its own internal history The Red Book of Westmarch. Although they were working in different fields-psychology and philology, respectively-there are many synchronistic parallels between Jung's and Tolkien's Red Book periods: the style of the many works of art they produced at this time, the nature of their visions and dreams, and an underlying similarity in world view that emerged from their experiences. All these suggest the two men may at times have been treading parallel paths through the imaginal realm.

The revelations of this research bring to the surface questions about the nature of imagination and its relationship to the collective unconscious and perhaps a cosmic psyche, which in turn may hold deep implications for modernity's assumptions of a disenchanted world. In this work, I point to the possibility that Tolkien and Jung are preliminary guides on a journey to the depths of an ensouled cosmos in which imagination saturates the very foundations of reality...
