Are you a "new age" person? Skip this and read "Journey to the Bright World" or "The Center of the Cyclone". You'll gaze into your navel and manage to pull out something more constructive than this piece of dated Jungian pabulum.

Are you a medical person? Skip, read "Mind's Eye" by Oliver Sacks intead.

For those with eyes to see. All others, push on. Text on uncovering the Unconscious, from both an ancient and contemporary lense, methods for attuning one’s eye, plenty of invoking images by artists throughout history, and more. Excellent text for healing work, learning more of self and Self, and Shadow work, transmuting/repurposing the Khaibit. Definite recommendation if one is on the Path.
