G. Jung's life. His confrontation with love for a woman and a feminine soul animated the composition of Jung's great \u003cem\u003eRed Book\u003c\/em\u003e, the book he formally titled \u003cem\u003eLiber Novus\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eC. G. Jung's relationships with women during these central years of life have generated several commentaries and critiques. But the power and depth of love has figured little in most of the romances about this period patched together by biographers, dramatists, and psychoanalysts. In consequence, a crux experience of Jung's life has been miscast and little understood. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThree decades after the events chronicled in his \u003cem\u003eRed Book\u003c\/em\u003e, C.

In \u003cem\u003eJung in Love\u003c\/em\u003e, Lance Owens illustrates how Jung's four last books -- his last quartet of major works published after 1945 -- are summary statements about his experiences during the years he labored with \u003cem\u003eLiber Novus\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOwens illustrates how in the first volume of this last quartet -- \u003cem\u003eThe Psychology of the Transference\u003c\/em\u003e, published in 1946 -- Jung employed a sixteenth-century alchemical text to provide context for what is in fact a statement about his own experience with love recounted both in his private journals and in \u003cem\u003eLiber Novus\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBased on long-sequestered documentary sources, \u003cem\u003eJung in Love \u003c\/em\u003e offers a balanced and historically contextualized account of Jung's relationships with four women during the years that led him into the visionary experiences recorded in the \u003cem\u003eRed Book\u003c\/em\u003e Emma Jung-Rauschenbach, Sabina Spielrein, Maria Moltzer and Toni Wolff.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eJung in Love - The Mysterium in Liber Novus\u003c\/em\u003e was originally published as a chapter in \u003cem\u003eDas Rote Buch - C.

G. Jung's \u003cem\u003eThe Red Book: Liber Novus\u003c\/em\u003e has initiated a broad reassessment of Jung's place in cultural history. \u003cb\u003eAmong many revelations, the visionary events recorded in the Red Book reveal the foundation of Jung's complex association with the Western tradition of Gnosis.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eThe Search for Roots\u003c\/em\u003e, Alfred Ribi closely examines Jung's life-long association with Gnostic tradition. Dr. Ribi knows C. G. Jung and his tradition from the ground up. He began his analytical training with Marie-Louise von Franz in 1963, and continued working closely with Dr. von Franz for the next 30 years. For over four decades he has been an analyst, lecturer and examiner of the C. G. Jung Institute in Zurich, where he also served as the Director of Studies. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBut even more importantly, early in his studies Dr. Ribi noted Jung's underlying roots in Gnostic tradition, and he carefully followed those roots to their source. Alfred Ribi is unique in the Jungian analytical community for the careful scholarship and intellectual rigor he has brought to the study Gnosticism. In \u003cem\u003eThe Search for Roots\u003c\/em\u003e, Ribi shows how a dialogue between Jungian and Gnostic studies can open new perspectives on the experiential nature of Gnosis, both ancient and modern. Creative engagement with Gnostic tradition broadens the imaginative scope of modern depth psychology and adds an essential context for understanding the voice of the soul emerging in our modern age.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Foreword by Lance Owens supplements this volume with a discussion of Jung's encounter with Gnostic tradition while composing his Red Book (\u003cem\u003eLiber Novus\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/b\u003e. Dr. Owens delivers a fascinating and historically well-documented account of how Gnostic mythology entered into Jung's personal mythology in the Red Book. Gnostic mythology thereafter became for Jung a prototypical image of his individuation. Owens offers this conclusion: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn 1916 Jung had seemingly found the root of his myth and it was the myth of Gnosis. I see no evidence that this ever changed. Over the next forty years, he would proceed to construct an interpretive reading of the Gnostic tradition's occult course across the Christian aeon: in Hermeticism, alchemy, Kabbalah, and Christian mysticism. In this vast hermeneutic enterprise, Jung was building a bridge across time, leading back to the foundation stone of classical Gnosticism. The bridge that led forward toward a new and coming aeon was footed on the stone rejected by the builders two thousand years ago. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAlfred Ribi's examination of Jung's relationship with Gnostic tradition comes at an important time. Initially authored prior to the publication of Jung's Red Book, current release of this English edition offers a bridge between the past and the forthcoming understanding of Jung's Gnostic roots.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49571379577105,"sku":"GOR006983276","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50291640795409,"sku":"CIN0615850626G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51004856369425,"sku":"NIN9780615850627","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51770946224401,"sku":"GOR014396238","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52440972886289,"sku":"CIN0615850626VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0615850626.jpg?v=1750700117"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-lance-s-owens.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
