Carl Jung and the Holy Grail of the Unconscious
“In the Red Book, after Jung’s soul urges him to embrace the madness, Jung is still doubtful. Then suddenly, as happens in dreams, his soul turns into ‘a fat, little professor,’ who expresses a kind of paternal concern for Jung.
Jung says: ‘I too believe that I’ve completely lost myself. Am I really crazy? It’s all terribly confusing.’
The professor responds: ‘Have patience, everything will work out. Anyway, sleep well.’”
