Status Updates From Le Livre Rouge

Liber Secundus seems more connected and liner than Primus. The richness of the characters representing facets of Jung’s mind made it seem as though he was truly navigating not just a dreamscape rather an otherworldly dimension, perhaps a glimpse beyond death. The mysteries of opposites is profound paralleling Jung’s understanding of the shadow self. I look forward to Scrutinies, the final section of the Red Book.

I am enjoying the process and exploring a side of Jung I have only estimated prior to attempting the Red Book. Concluding Libre Primus, I understand how Jung was concerned how he would be perceived. Initially, it reads as though a person losing their grasp with reality and then developing a messiah complex. His interpretations bring it home - we are not our thoughts and both love and forethinking are interconnected.
