    About this ebook

    Carl Gustav Jung was a famous Swiss psychologist and psychiatrist who is regarded as the father of Analytic psychology. He was the first to introduce the term ‘Complex’ to explain the human mind and classified people as introverts and extroverts depending on the extent to which they exhibit certain functions of consciousness. Jung’s collaboration with Sigmund Freud and later their breaking were much talked in the psychoanalytic community. He authored many books during his life time and left behind his influences not only in psychiatry but also extending to religion, art and literature. Let’s delve into the mesmerizing words from the master of Human mind...

      ABOUT CARL JUNG

      The founder of Analytic psychology, Carl Gustav Jung was a Swiss psychologist and psychiatrist who elaborated the ideas of introvert and extrovert personalities and the power of unconsciousness. He authored many books during his life time and left behind his influences not only in psychiatry but also extending to religion, art and literature. Though his collaboration with Sigmund Freud in the research of Psychoanalysis was famous, but the duo parted ways due to the disagreements in their research.

      Carl Gustav Jung’s birth was on July 26, 1875 as the only son of Paul Achilles Jung and Emilie Preiswerk. As a single child, he was very quiet and lonely, but was observing and imaginative. To rescue from his loneliness, Jung used to observe the behaviors of his parents and teachers, which helped greatly in molding his later career. His childhood was further troubled by the mental illness of his mother. Since his father and several other relatives were clergymen, it seemed quiet natural for Jung to be in that career, but instead he opted for medicine. Jung was a keen reader in his teens and was exposed to various fields like philosophy, paleontology, archeology and religion. In 1900 Jung was graduated in medicine from University of Basel and got MD from University of Zurich.

      During his studies at the University of Zurich, Jung was associated with Burgholzli Asylum where he worked under Eugene Bleuler, a pioneer psychologist who laid the foundations of the now famous classical studies of mental illness. There he successfully continued the association tests which was initiated by his earlier researchers. He studied the specific and illogical emotional responses from the patients, which were caused by the emotionally charged clusters of associations withheld from consciousness around the immoral or frequently sexual content. To describe these observations, Jung was the first to introduce the now famous term, ‘complex’.

      As his works relating to the subconscious grew, so was his fame too. These significant developments led him close to the legendary Sigmund Freud. For the next five years, that is between 1907 and 1912 Jung was Freud’s close collaborator and it was believed that Jung will be the successor of the founder of psychoanalysis. But the association had to part ways because of the differences in viewpoints and temperament of the two. Jung was particularly against the Freud’s belief about sexuality as the foundation of neurosis. The collaboration officially separated in 1912 when Jung published the ‘Psychology of the Unconscious’, which questioned many of the Freud theories. But this breaking had its own consequences on Jung as he lost much support from the psychoanalytic community who were much influenced by the elder scientist. Though Jung resigned from International Psychoanalytic Society, he was not at all discouraged and continued his developments.

      Jung delved into his experiments and formed a new branch of analytical psychology. He phenomenally introduced the conception of introverts and extroverts in which he classified people into two based on the extent they show some functions of consciousness. His major works got published in the 1921 publication Psychological Types. For the rest of his life, he travelled extensively throughout the world studying different cultures and civilizations. He continued the release of his works. His major publications include Modern Man in Search of a Soul (1933) and The Undiscovered Self (1957). He had a number of honors including Zurich's literature prize, England's Royal Society of Medicine and also elected as honorary member of the Swiss Academy of Medical Sciences.

      In 1903, he married Emma Rauschenbach and survived with five children. They were together till her death in 1955. This legendary master of psychology died at his home in Zurich on June 6, 1961.Even years after his death, Jung’s ideas resonate in many varying fields like archaeology, religion, literature.

      WORDS OF CARL JUNG

      Thinking

      I think that one should view with philosophic admiration the strange paths of the libido and should investigate the purposes of its circuitous ways.

      Often the hands will solve a mystery that the intellect has struggled with in vain.

      Doesn't the world bring forth thinking in human heads with the same necessity that it brings forth blossoms on the plant?

      It is really the mistake of our age. We think it is enough to discover new things, but we don't realize that knowing more demands a corresponding development of morality.

      The Platonic world of ideas corresponds to Thinking and Sensation on the mystical level.

      Life has always seemed to me like a plant that lives on its rhizome. Its true life is invisible, hidden in the rhizome. The part that appears above ground lasts only a single summer. Then it withers away—an ephemeral apparition. When we think of the unending growth and decay of life and civilizations, we cannot escape the impression of absolute nullity. Yet I have never lost a sense of something that lives and endures underneath the eternal flux. What we see is the blossom, which passes. The rhizome remains.

      When you come to think about it, nothing has any meaning, for when there was nobody to think, there was nobody to interpret what happened.

      I deliberately and consciously give preference to a dramatic, mythological way of thinking and speaking, because this is not only more expressive but also more exact than an abstract scientific terminology, which is wont to toy with the notion that its theoretic formulations may one fine day be resolved into algebraic equations.

      Intuition is one of the four basic psychological functions along with thinking, feeling, and sensing.

      No matter what the world thinks about religious experience, the one who has it possesses a great treasure, a thing that has become for him a source of life, meaning, and beauty, and that has given a new splendor to the world and to mankind.

      If you think along the lines of Nature then you think properly. from the video Carl Jung speaks about death

      Consciousness succumbs all too easily to unconscious influences, and these are often truer and wiser than our conscious thinking.

      Whether you call the principle of existence God, matter, energy, or anything else you like, you have created nothing; you have merely changed a symbol. Eastern and Western Thinking, 1938

      One could say, with a little exaggeration, that the persona is that which in reality one is not, but which oneself as well as others think one is.

      Learn your techniques well and be prepared to let them go when you touch the human soul.

      Music

      Music is the application of sounds to the canvas of silence.

      People

      I have frequently seen people become neurotic when they content themselves with inadequate or wrong answers to the questions of life.

      But we must not forget that only a very few people are artists in life; that the art of life is the most distinguished and rarest of all the arts.

      I think it is better for all people to live on, to look forward to the next stage after death, as if he had to spend centuries, then he lives properly looking forward to the great adventure ahead, then he lives!

      "It seems to be very hard for people to
