Jung`s Red Book For Our Time: Searching for Soul under Postmodern Conditions Volume 2

by Murray B. Stein (Editor), Thomas Arzt (Editor)

Edited by Murray Stein and Thomas Arzt, the essays in the series Jung’s Red Book for Our Searching for Soul under Postmodern Conditions are geared to the recognition that the posthumous publication of The Red Liber Novus by C. G. Jung in 2009 was a meaningful gift to our contemporary world. “To give birth to the ancient in a new time is creation,” Jung inscribed in his Red Book . The essays in this volume continue what was begun in Volume 1 of Jung’s Red Book for Our Searching for Soul under Postmodern Conditions by further contextualizing The Red Book culturally and interpreting it for our time. It is significant that this long sequestered work was published during a period in human history marked by disruption, cultural disintegration, broken boundaries, and acute anxiety. The Red Book offers an antidote for this collective illness and can be seen as a link in the aurea catena , the “golden chain” of spiritual wisdom extending down through the ages from biblical times, ancient Greek philosophy, early Christian and Jewish Gnosis, and alchemy. The Red Book is itself a work of creation that gives birth to the old in a new time. This is the second volume of a three-volume series set up on a global und multicultural level and includes essays from the following distinguished Jungian analysts and - Murray Stein and Thomas Arzt : Introduction - John Beebe : The Way Cultural Attitudes are Developed in Jung’s Red Book – An “Interview” - Kate Burns : Soul’s Desire to become Jung’s Journey, Our Initiation - QiRe Ching : Aging with The Red Book - Al Collins : Dreaming The Red Book What Do the Dead Seek Today? - Lionel Corbett : The Red Book as a Religious Text - John Dourley : Jung, the Nothing and the All - Randy Fertel : Trickster, His Apocalyptic Brother, and a World’s An Archetypal Reading of Donald Trump - Noa Schwartz Feuerstein : India in The Red Book : Overtones and Undertones - Gražina Gudaitė : Integrating Horizontal and Vertical Dimensions of Experience under Postmodern Conditions - Lev Khegai : The Red Book of C.G.
