Jung has intrigued also me, already from the time that I was studying education at University College Fontys in the Netherlands. That was from 1964 to 1968. In fact he never disappeared out of my life. Following my Path I “met” similar interests as Jung has, Eastern and Western Philosophy, Buddhism, Taoism, Alchemy, Astrology, Arts, always searching for the deeper within. Also been in similar dark years, and yes, I also have drawn a kind of a book, painted mandalas, but not comparable with those in Jung’s Red Book. He worked with the tools he had, I did with mine.

The Red Book
The Red Book was already published in 2009, but I did not hear about it then. My interests were following other tracks. Some years ago it was there, suddenly, surprising, awesome, astonishing.

For the world it is important that he has written down his own life processes, to show the scientists and the rationalists among all human beings, what they mostly stigmatize as vague, irrational, not intelligent, weak, is not only happening with what they categorize as some stupid crazy ones, but also with Jung, and since it happened with Jung, then it might happen to other scientists as well, then it might be possible that it is normal. Well, it is. It is sane, and who do not understand this are insane.
.
.
Science is not complete, and is therefore creating in-sane minds. Wholistic science is complete, sane, and can heal our insane world.
Insanity is unawareness of the deeper self, the suppressed and rejected part of themselves, and yes, scientists are very good in that. The best is to deny that it is there and so they did.
The life processes and the to these belonging struggles and fears make a human being finally for hundred percent reliable, strong, and not, what the most have thought, weak. Those who did not go through the depths of their soul are in fact NOT trustworthy, at all. But all in the world is based on that incomplete science.
.
I see here a possibility that finally all who have been humiliated and suffering because of their experiences as if they were/are insane, or vague, or not so intelligent, dreaming, hallucinating, and not worth it to be taken serious, get their dignity back. Their being normal, at least as normal as Jung was.

Know thyself
The importance of knowing the self is far underestimated in what is known, hailed and praised as science and the to that belonging “health care”.
.
Therefore I created the page and the community to enlarge the area of people who search for a deeper understanding of their own self, their own life processes, to be active in their own healing procedure and processes instead of being passive in taking just and only pills against difficult to handle, not understood symptoms, by adding information about Carl Gustav Jung, categorized in a way that it is easy, and interesting at the same time for even a short visit, to meet Jung in a virtual way, to learn to understand his insights, step by step, by reading, watching, listening, and coming back as often as needed.
